“Yeah… We should leave…” Evan told Chris. “There was a guy.” “Uh huh.” Chris nodded. “And he uhhh, he, sort of…” Chris couldn't hear the last part of his sentence, “He, what?” “Well he sort of, triggered the alarm.” Evan said quietly. Evan didn’t look like he was kidding around. “Oh no.” Chris mumbled. “We really do need to get out of here.” “Yeah, that's what I said!” Evan hollered. Chris didn’t waste any time, he sprinted towards the staircase. When he got up the stairs, he was greeted by Evan. “Ok we have to jump.” Evan said to Chris, “Wait, what?”  Chris said as Evan jumped out of the hole in the wall. “Woah.” Chris mumbled as he looked over the edge. It was about a two story drop, and Chris didn’t really feel like dying. “Jump! I’ll catch you!” Evan yelled. “What do you mean?” Chris yelled back. “I’m a wizard, you have to trust me!” Evan yelled. Chris didn’t trust him at all. As Chris thought about it, he heard shuffling coming from the staircase. “Ohhh boy.” Chris said as an arrow flew past his head. Without thinking Chris was already running, he jumped and time seemed to slow down, he could see at least a dozen arrows flying past him. He saw Evan pointing his staff at Chris. Seconds later he was sitting on the ground. “Run!” Evan yelled. Chris looked over to see Evan getting chased by the soldiers that Chris had once wanted to be. Evan was being chased by 5 soldiers. There were 3 more in the hole of the castle. He noticed that the commander of the small fleet was also chasing Evan. Chris was just staring at them when Evan had arrived. “Hey wake up!” Evan said, sprinting past him. Chris got out of his trance just in time to jump away from a giant axe. Chris scurried to get on his feat to run, but an arrow landed right by his right hand. “Oh gosh!” Chris yelled as he finally got a grip, with another axe crashing down right next to him. Chris started to sprint, jumping over logs, avoiding arrows, when he started to feel a pull, it was coming from directly behind him, and was slowly getting harder and harder. 
         At first Chris could barely feel the pull. But then it started to get hard to run. “What?” Chris mumbled to himself. He tried to take another step, but got swept off his feat. He hit the ground hard, and almost went unconscious. He was now being ripped through the air, just barely missing some trees. Before he knew it, Evan was at his side, with his staff to Chris' back. “Just, go to sleep.” Evan said in an almost disappointed tone. Chris tried to stay awake, but the force was just right to make him feel comfortable, and before he knew it, he was fast asleep.
