"What?" Mareth asked, shocked, "Whose side are you on, Sara? Mason?" "I am on your side, Mason is on the Spinners' side. So is Avanna. Just tell them mason." Sara said, running her index finger up and down a blade of a knife. "This is why I did not want to go in this tunnel, to have him kill us, I think not. Though, how you have all been treating me, I could easily join the spinners' side, I will not, but just remember, I can. Mason! Speak!" Sara said, casually. "Fine. I am. I had to. They promised not to kill any of you." Mason said, "That is a lie!" Sara screeched "He did it because they think they will win this battle! Because they promised him power! Tell the truth, you nasty, beast!" Sara yelled. "Sara! Do not say that!" Howard said, "I can say a lot worse, and you know I can! Him and Avanna! They are two lying, be-" Sara yelled, "That is enough! Mason, Avanna is this true?" Vikus asked. "Yes, so do what Sara said, because we are going to kill you!" Mason yelled. Sara didn't move, she started breathing quickly, and shortly. She was having a panic attack.
"We should kill Sara first!" Mason yelled, "What are you doing, Sara, move!" Howard yelled. But instead her sword dropped to the ground. "I- I- ca- cannot!" she choked out. Gregor ran over and cut Mason's arm, before he could reach Sara. Then Mason turned on him, he shrugged and said, "May as well kill the second strongest." Howard laughed, "He is not the second strongest, you dumb betrayal." Howard said, still laughing. Gregor didn't want to kill him, Mason was, like, three or four times bigger then Gregor. "Mason, just run to your little spinner friends, we will catch up. No need to kill now. It will be a few days before we catch up. Go on." Mareth said, Gregor couldn't remember a time when Mareth and Howard had been so rude. Mason actually listened, and him, Avanna, and their two bats, Cura and Liera, flew off. "We may as well rest, no spinners can get us now. They are much too far." Vikus said, "Sara slow down your breathing, you can be very ill from it." Alexea said to her, "I am also sorry of what I said yesterday." she said, then lay down on a blanket.
"Come over here, Gregor." a Voice said. Gregor assumed it was Sara again. So he walked over to her. Luxa and Sara were sitting together, and Luxa was holding something. Sara giggled. "Gregor, look at this." Luxa opened her hand, and a small flame was sitting inside, "Are you coming to the flames tonight? Are you awakening the flames tonight? Are you dancing in the flames tonight? Are you coming home tonight? Will you hold mother tight, let her know your home? Promise me we will burn tonight. Promise me we will die together. Promise me we will lie on the bed of flames tonight. Do you promise to return to the flames tonight?" Sara sang, then suddenly pictures appeared. Pictures of a smiling Overlander appeared. "Jonathan, my father." Sara said, then a picture of a king and queen appeared. Gregor guessed it was Luxa's parents. "Oh my!" Luxa gasped,eyes wide. "Wait Perdita was not there, she is alive!" Sara said, she sounded relieved. "I wish I could have known him. My father. People never said anything bad about him, maybe because I waws always there, but I have never heard anything bad." Sara said, "He was an amazing person." Luxa said to her. Gregor looked at both of their faces, illuminated in the flames. They both looked sad. Luxa lost both her parents, Sara lost her dad. Gregor remembered when he lost his dad, then he found him. "I wish I was closer to my mother, but I--" Sara stopped,"I have to tell you both something, you must keep a secret." Sara started, she looked down, "I cannot stop killing. I almost killed Mason, because I cannot control it. I do not know what happens. I do not remember it either. I cannot see, except for my target. Gregor, you know what this is. I have forgotten. "A rager? You're a rager?" Gregor asked, "Yes, Twitchtip told me once, after I fought. She knew it was me because Ripred was not around. Nobody knows though, so you have to keep it a secret." Sara said. "We promise." Gregor and Luxa said at the same time.
"Mareth? Mareth, where did he go?" Sara whispered. "There is a note." Marco pointed out the note read;
We have taken Mareth. If you do not come, with the voice of the Underland, we will kill him. He will not be missed since he is only but a soldier. A very unimportant one. Remember bring the voice, we need the voice or say good-bye to your precious little soldier.
-Mason and the others
"Who is the voice?" Gregor asked, "The voice? The voice is Sara." Vikus replied. Sara had her jaw dropped as far as possible.
