Excerpt: THERE WAS A blinding darkness. Sounds were coming from above and some of it sounded like talking. It wasn't English, whatever it was. Coughing, I slowly sat up. I could feel rough material chafing against my skin. I looked down to see what I was wearing but was rendered sightless to it. Someone had changed me in my sleep. My eyes widened as I started panting frantically. The real terror set in when I realized my wrists were knotted together. I shifted myself around and awkwardly stood up. My feet drag a few inches before I hit my head. "Owe!" Using my clasped hands, I felt for what I had marched into. It didn't take me but a second to gather what it was. Panic starting to overcome me, I opened my mouth to scream, then I heard someone else cough. I knew that cough. "Francis?" I whispered inaudibly. "Francis? Is that you?" I asked louder. Another cough followed. "Yeah, it's me." I touched the bars again. "Where are you?" I heard scrabbling and a few curse words from my left ear. "What the hell is going on? I'm tied up." Trembling, I hunted the black for his face. "Me too. I think I'm in a cage. What happened? How did we get here?" Footsteps as light as a feather were coming our way, and I caught it. I blurted, "What was that?" "I don't know," admitted Francis. "I heard footsteps." My words were almost inaudible. There was also breathing. It was getting louder and sounded thick, but it wasn't coming from where I would expect it. It was coming from the floor. Francis yelled out, "Who's out there? What do you want with us? Show us your face, you coward." "Delighted to." A jolt ran down my spine at the unfamiliar voice. A match struck and the fresh light gave the creature a face. A gasp escaped me before the light flickered out. Catching my breath, I screamed as loud as I could.

"Who are you?" I demand. The boy in front of me replies, "That's not how this works, love." I freeze. That phrase. That voice. It can't be. I look up but he's just a cloaked silhouette. The rustling stops when boys surrounding us step from their hiding spots and light lanterns. Every single one of them masked and cloaked. Except the one in front of me. The lamps lit, and I see his face. "Whoa," slips from my lips as I stare at the boy in front of me. His eyes widen and his jaw almost, just almost, drops. With his guard down for that one instant I lose all fear and gain control. "You!" I yell suddenly overflowing with anger. My stomach heats with rage. I fight to stand, stronger this time with anger as fuel. He backs up, his breath increasing. Obviously, uneasy, I take it as a win and almost stand all the way. "You. What are you doing here? How did you find this place!" He switched to angry. "You! You're the reason! They put me back because of you! It was all cause of you! It was your fault! All of it!" I'm so angry I yell only what I can. My thoughts flying through my head I can only yell unexplained nonsense. I've never felt anger like this before. The red glow lightly pours off my own skin and I take notice to it. I compare it to the glow coming off of him. Suddenly, it's an instinct to allow the anger to explode and in doing so the red glow is taken from his chest as I absorb it all and throw it out in all directions. I yank down away from the boy holding me just as the red glow gets sucked from him, absorbed into my hands, and then thrown out in a sphere of red glow. All boys stumbling but not by much and the one holding me gets knocked back, I'm free. "You die now, Peter Pan!"
