The group stops running.

"That was a fucking werewolf." Shaadira pants.

"You guys!" shouts Trey. "A fuckin' carriage!"

Surely enough, there's a red stagecoach in front of us. We were told by the note that there'd be a stagecoach here....

"Wait, Oh my god!" This could be their way out. "We're free!"

"Yes!" cheers a suddenly hopeful Daniel.
"Forget about the gems! Let's go!"

Bethany frowns. "Wait. There's no horses, you guys."

"Freedom!" Amarie chants, not giving a damn about horses. This is her chance to save the little remaining people she's got . "You know what? Someone just drag that carriage. We can just go in, and I'll pull it. Let's go. Get on in."

Alexis, Shangag and Devon immediately get in. Alec, on the other hand, hangs back. "Is there any wolfsbane or anything?" as if wolfsbane even matters to any of them right now.

"How are we about to go anywhere?" groans Octavia. "There's ain't no damn horse!"

Inside the carriage, Alexis finds a chest. She goes against her better judgement and decides to hand the chest to Alec.

"Oh, fuck," says Devon as Alec places their latest discovery on the ground.
"Don't tell me that it's locked."

"Another key," Alec confirms, frustration in his voice, slamming his fist against the chest.

Bethany's face turns red. "Are you fuckin' kidding me?"

Only the horses can see the key.

"What horses?" questions Daniel.

"Are they invisible?" Amarie shines her lantern around the carriage. "Hello? Horses, anyone?"

Shaadira
Yeahhh.....this carriage is not our way home.

Alec's brain starts to work quickly, and soon, it all makes sense. "Oh! What position would they be in? Wouldn't they be pulling...they would see..."

"So we would be right here, as horses..." Rita says, moving in front of the carriage next to Shangag.

Octavia
Nothing happens.
