         "Aurora!" Luxa screamed, jumping off the bat, she stabbed the spider with her sword, as it tried to get away. Howard ran over with the first  aid kit, Sara and Stellovet had to pull Luxa away from Aurora, because Luxa wouldn't move. Luxa didn't cry exactly, she tried to go back over, where Howard, Vikus, and Mareth were helping Aurora's wing. Luxa kept trying to go, but Sara was threatning to cut Luxa with a knife. Everyone knew she wouldn't do it, but it scared Luxa enough to pull out her sword. Then finally, Vikus turned around and whispered, "She cannot fly, but she is fine, no poisin got in." Luxa ran over to Aurora, acting like an excited three year old at a candy store.

        When it was time to rest, Sara lit a torch and insisted she keep watch first. She started to sing when everyone was asleep, well, everyone but Gregor, "Waiting far away is a home, that brings no danger to me. Waiting far away is home, where my family lives and loves me."  she sang, the silhouette of her was sort of scary, "Her song is beautiful." someone whispered in the dark, "She know it, not yet, that she may be the voice of the Underland." the voice whispered, Gregor guessed it was Mareth, since he was the tallest one on this journey, and he could just barely make out the image of a missing leg. "Yeah, what is that?" Gregor wondered, Mareth ignored the question, stood up, and told Sara that it was his turn to watch, "Well did I hear my favourite group of Underlanders or what?" a sarcastic voice whispered to Mareth, Ripred. "Yes, you also heard the others sleeping, did you not? Sleep or be quiet." Mareth replied, annoyed.

        "I flew in there, killing twenty rats, and hundreds more, without a scratch! You cannot tell me to control it! I won't!" Sara whisper - yelled, "I've taught you so well, and now you  hate me. That really makes my day!" Ripred whispered, "You taught me nothing!" Gregor woke up  to find Sara being held back by Mason, while she and Ripred were fighting, Sara let out a string of curses to Ripred, "Let go of me!" she said  to Mason, "No, you will wake everyone!" "Let go, or I will take my knife and cut out your stupid eyes!" Mason let go, and held his hands up in defense, "Well aren't you a vicious little girl?" Ripred said, by then everyone was awake, "What are you guys bickering about now?" Vikus asked, angrily, looking for an answer, "Go on ahead, tattle on me, I've got no reason to help you." Ripred said, Sara's huge, white, bat flew up to her, defensively. "Now since when have you been helping us?" Sara asked, arms crossed, "Since two years before the Overlander came!" Ripred shouted. Everyone stood up, swords drawn,  "Look what you have done, you inconsiderate rat!" Sara said, "Sara sword on right, knife on your left." Mareth instructed, "Gregor, draw your sword!" he told Gregor, Ripred go on a bat with Vikus, his big grey bat, Euripedes, Gregor jumped on Axis, Howard on Nike, and everyone else on their own bat, "Blow the torches, fly extremely high!" Vikus ordered, suddenly it was very dark, Gregor could only hear Marco and Alexea drawing their swords. "You humans cannot hide for much longer, how much longer can the fliers fly in one spot? We know where you hide." a female spider's voice vibrated. All the spiders walked  away, "We must keep on because none of us will get back to sleep!" the teenager girl said, and Gregor learned her name was Avanna.

          "We must, we must, we--- we must." Sara mumbled, it was if she was about to fall asleep, but it couldn't be since they have only been flying about an hour. Suddenly she and her bat went down. They were falling thousands of feet  to the ground.
