Though, at that moment he noticed Aiden and Amber, right next to him. The two had moved almost due to the attack that Zia had made. Then the guard with an unhealthy crack and crunch fell down to the floor like the two over guards had already. Their three broken bodies just weirdly look fine with the vast prison-like mansion in the background. As they all looked, though, a loud bell could be heard ringing out…

He says through gritted teeth and my wide eyes land on the bullet again. Gold doesn’t burn me, like silver does to wolves, unless it’s inside me. If these bullets could do even half of what Heath’s drink did to me, I’d be completely incapable of protecting myself. “We need to move.” I tell the group and start rushing down the hall again. Another bomb has the walls of the castle shaking and the floor tumbling beneath our feet. This whole thing is going to come down. I don’t know how much longer it’ll hold. Walls are in shambles, holes in the floor, fire still rising and smoke covering the halls.

The ground gave way without warning. One moment, Kael had a solid footing; the next, the stone shifted violently, cracking open beneath their feet as if something deep within the territory had finally snapped. The tremor didn’t fade the way the others had. It rolled through the walls with a force that kept building, dragging a harsh grinding sound behind it as the entire structure began to tear itself apart.

Ahead of us, the silver pathway flickered again. Growing weaker. Dimming. Like a candle moments from extinction. "Move!" Renn shouted. The old scholar's voice sounded raw. Desperate. "We have to keep moving!" Nobody needed convincing. We ran. The surviving soldiers stumbled after us. The city continued collapsing around us. Entire districts vanished into darkness. Ancient towers folded inward. Roads split apart beneath our feet. The mountain was dying. No. The prison was dying. And with it, the only thing that had kept the monster contained.

He threw the heavy maintenance hatch open and shoved himself into the narrow, cold throat of the pneumatic shaft just as the wall behind him was ripped away by a sudden, unseen force. He didn't look back. He grabbed the service rail and plummeted down, the cold air rushing against his face. The tower was losing its collective mind; floors were being shuffled like cards, ceiling tiles rained down like confetti. He was a piece of lead in a chaotic storm of architectural collapse.

I also ran to Mom and Dad and that's when I saw Mom who was behind the wall that was falling down and the few workers even said that - "Get out, that wall is about to fall!" "Go away!" "Mom! Dad, go away!" I also said, the mother looked at my height and the wall was about to collapse where she was standing, but the father immediately went to her and hugged her just in case - "MOM! DAD!"

The day everything in her life shattered. And I was trapped, forced to relive her nightmare alongside her. The ground trembled beneath me, a deep, violent shake that sent a shockwave through my body. Before I could react, the earth ruptured with a deafening crack, and suddenly, I was sliding downward. The world around me blurred as I was sucked into an uneven tunnel, tumbling headlong through the jagged dirt. My back scraped painfully against the rough walls, while sharp rocks and debris slashed at my arms. I twisted and writhed, trying to regain control, but the tunnel’s descent was steep and merciless.

"Follow me!" Without a moment's hesitation, we turned on our heels and raced back towards the tunnel entrance. The rhythmic hum of the mysterious door echoed behind us, a haunting reminder of the unknown horrors we were leaving behind. The air grew thick with dust and debris as the tremors intensified.

Dr. Wright shouted, pointing towards a narrow side passage I hadn't noticed before. It was a desperate gamble, a potential shortcut that might bypass the collapsing section.

I cringe at the way they open their mouths and close them with ravenous hunger. I’m about to respond when suddenly the floor begins to tremble beneath us. Azazel and I gaze into each other’s eyes, trying to regain our balance as the trembling heightens to a roar, and the wall begins to crumble and crack. Turning to Sahara, I see that she’s as surprised as we are. “Hold on!” Azazel yells out as the floorboards begin to break beneath us. I watch in horror as the revenants begin to fall and slide across the floor, scratching and growling as they try to gain purchase.
