WAIT?
WAIT, DAMIEN???
EVIE WAS NOT WAITING.
She started up the stairs as fast as she could, but the stumbled creature got to her before she got far enough. A pained scream of terror escaped Evie's throat as she felt something sharp tear through her robes and a thin layer of skin on her arm. It hurt like hell, but that only made her run faster. And Evie was not a runner.
As she ran up the stairs, Evie heard a booming voice below them in the chamber. Not yet... it said. Not yet? What did that mean? Were they (whatever they were) planning an attack? That meant they had a leader. It was too much to comprehend at that moment, since Evie was rather busy running for her life, concentrating on the spell holding Damien up, and not tripping over stairs. It seemed like she had been running forever, and her pace was slowing significantly, but she saw the light of the sky through the opening above them right as Damien called out to her.
Evie continued to lift Damien out of the stairwell and crawled out of it after him, dropping the spell once he was over the ground. Collapsing onto the ground, Evie let out a groan and clutched her arm to her abdomen as she rolled onto her back. She was panting for air after her long haul up the stairs and her arm hurt. She was pretty sure Damien's leg was in worse shape though.
"Are you okay?" she asked as she sat up. She reached over to shut the access door and tried to take a look at his leg. |
