"What's going on?" Hailey said.
I blink trying to get my eyes to adjust to the darkness quicker. But nothing seems to happen. A hand wraps around my wrist in the dark and I bring my knee up to kick, when I find that it's Aiden. I can almost envision him smirking as he lightly shoved my leg down.
"Princess? Are you alright?" He said.
I nod and then realize he can't see me.
"Yeah." I mumble softly.
"I can't see. My eyes aren't adjusting." Stella said from somewhere.
"Find the nearest person and hold on to them." Aiden calls out after a few seconds. "Why aren't any spells working?" He mutters to himself after a few seconds.
"Mel is this you?" Jase said sounding quite near me.
"Yeah, here grab my right hand. I got Hailey on my left." She said.
"Yes, because I can actually differentiate between your left and right hand right now." He grumbles.
I smile despite the situation. He sounds so much like Kyle right now that my brother would be proud.
I look around for the windows I saw earlier but with the rain water spraying in and the moon completely hidden, little to no light enter the room through them.
I feel Aiden tighten his grip on my hand. His warmth floods threw me as he pulls us closer.
"Stay close to me. I don't want to lose you. Okay?" He says softly.
"Okay." I mumble back
"Is that you Aiden?" Zach calls after about a minute.
"Yeah, hold on. I got Ellie with me." Aiden said.
"Somebody find the door." Stella said.
The screams below rose higher and then I see something flicker far away. Something like smoke reaches my nose making me cough. And then I realize with a start what the flicker actually was.
