Betrayal

Maew struggled in the cultists arms, hearing her friends cry out to her trying to get her away from the gaping, endless hole. "Why are you doing this to her!!" Gregg yelled. 

"Simple she's a menace." Maqes eyes widened. She knew that voice, she had for years. She looked around for the source and watched as a cultist moved closer to her. "She doesn't contribute to our lovely little town." His tail swayed slightly, moving bust and dirt.
