I have to see Scarlett with my own eyes and make sure she is alright. There are no lights on the floor and there is darkness everywhere. I switched my flash on the phone and started taking steps. My heart is beating fast and sweat is trailing down my body. I am having a problem taking steady breaths with all the running I have done. I don't know what will I see once I reach my floor.

Tendrils poured down from above like oil. “There’s nowhere to run,” I gasped. Elias looked up. “Nowhere but one.” He shifted—bones cracking, body collapsing inward—then a bat fluttered upward. Lyra followed, shifting mid-stride, dark wings beating hard. Solara turned to me. “Hold on.” She wrapped her arms around my waist from behind. Fiery wings erupted from her back—hot, bright, scorching the air. We lifted off. We shot upward, past the landing, past the mist reaching for us.

Aria huddled behind the large spike to protect her from the frigid wind but glanced down beside herself, grateful it was dark. She wasn't sure how she would feel if she could see the ground far, far below, her stomach rolled at the mere thought of it and she scrunched her eyes shut, clinging on for dear life.

The tremendous lift from its wide wings makes it climb really high, and for one suspended, dazzling moment when the plane floats at the apex of its ascent, Kate, Babylee and Terra shade their eyes with their hands from the brightness of the wide blue sky. Then, Suzanne points its nose down and begins its dive…

She wailed even louder as the force that had broken her fall caused her hands and knees to be in excruciating pain. She has begun to pull herself forward along the uneven ground, unable to stand up again. It was a pathetic attempt at an army crawl, though.
