"Stop" I replied and I pushed him back so hard, I couldn't believe what I was doing. I was so shocked, I looked up to see that smug smile on his lips and I felt my knees go weak.

"You still care" he smirked and grabbed my chin to look up at him, I wasn't happy, my blood was boiling, and how he dare think I cared still. I may only be lying to myself here but I know what I was feeling.

"I do not love you; I don't want anything to do with you" I replied harshly "You are a manipulator, you will not make me happy." I spat back at him, hoping he understood. I watched his eyes turned so cold, that I shivered deep down, wondering if he was going to hit me. "I love Blake not you" I whispered back

Instead, he let go of me that made me stumble back and fall. I was on my knees, and I was staring at him while he looked down at me. He just walked away, I was looking at his back watching his every move, a heavy wind surrounded us. There was this awkward silence now; I was even scared to say anything. I was so confused, is this the way he shows me this so called love? Nevertheless, I won't be happy at all with this, this is torture. In order for him to survive this long, was to kill people and make them suffer. I can't handle that; I don't want to suffer so much.

"You have a pure soul Mekare, too pure that I would love to taint it" he replied back, smirking at me and I gulped.

"But that doesn't explain why you want me so much" I cried and he looked at me like I was the demon not him.

"You are the key to unlocking us from here; getting our freedom once we eat one of the cursed soothsayers we will be free from this hell. I will be free from this hell, and all we need is you" Kye growled angrily, which explained so much to me

"But there is someone else besides me" I cried and he looked interested I knew.

"It's not Medea believe me" he said sullenly "You are the only one" he replied sadly, which is a total lie, there is someone else except he doesn't know and I knew to keep my mouth shut.

"Kye tell me where they all are, I played by the rules now please tell me" I cried, I knew one was dead but I had no clue about the others.

"Get up" he replied and I did. As shaky as I was, I did it fast. Because I knew, he was serious this time and it meant more bruises.

Then he lifted his arm, and suddenly all sorts of fire were shooting out, I was completely shocked at first. I knew why he was doing it, when I realized the place we were in; crumbled as I saw the cracks I knew we were in danger. This was making my heart beat so fast, I was anxious and scared, that I held onto him. When he glanced back, I saw him smirk even more.

My scream was stuck in my throat; all I could think about was getting out of here alive. I held on to the boy for dear life I had my eyes closed in fear. The rumbling stopped, I felt a wave of heat blast towards my face, I felt sick inside. When I did open my eyes and look around, I heard screaming and moaning, and I couldn't contain my gasp. We were in complete darkness the only light I saw was the ball of light that hung above us. It was electrifying and buzzing like those lanterns that kill flies. I looked at the bottom it was an endless pit, we were on the edge, when I looked down in the other corner, and there was the three of them. Who looked tiny and frightened by all this like I was.

"This is your final challenge, if you can get your cousin out before it drops into the pit everything will be back to normal; you will get everyone out including the one who died." Kye replied with his monotone voice, and I stared at him with wide eyes. Did I believe him?
