Riley heard voices from outside her room where Al is keeping her hidden and chained. She knows whose voices they belong to, other teenagers her age, children, babies crying for their mothers'. The disembodied voices grow louder and more heartbreaking, the dead cry and beg for help, though they know no one will come for them.
Riley thought she heard Rosaline's voice calling for her and Jake, she was wrong, that voice belonged to another girl who had died here, she knew the girl the voice belonged to. She refused to call her name and risk Al knocking her out again.
Riley was able to break the chains that held her to the wall of the room. Silently breaking them and letting them slide to the floor beneath her, she stood and hid somewhere.
Being an immortal hybrid-half fey, half dragon-she broke chains effortlessly without a sound. She was a professional actress, Al knew that, of course. She faked being afraid and faked being in pain, she even faked being unable to break the chains.
Al forgot what she could do, that much was obvious. Riley heard a voice that she swore belonged to Jake. She kept hiding, listening, waiting, watching, for something or someone to open the door.
She heard the voice again, louder, clearer and she heard what was said, "I'm going to kill you. You sick bastard!" It was Jake! She smiled but stayed where she was and kept quiet. She heard an explosion and saw a bright orange, red light under the door of the room. She didn't know what to do, her only option was to stay quiet and not move.
The door opened, Al stepped into the room as Jake followed and punched Al in the gut knocking him against the wall where she was chained. She watched as Jake started beating Al. This was her chance! She got up and ran out the room and into the hallway, she ran to the right and kept running until she heard footsteps. She hid and waited to see who it was.
It was Katana, she knew who the footsteps belonged to the minute she heard a sword being taken from its sheath. She kept quiet, just in case she was wrong.
The officer turned the corner as a skeleton attacked him. Katana swung his sword with unbelievable grace and swiftness, and the skeleton fell to the ground in pieces.
"I know you are there, Riley," he said and looked at her hiding place. She walked to him cautiously, alert and aware of her surroundings and the man in front of her.
"Are you wounded?" He asked looking at her arms.
"Alejandro took a knife to my arms," She showed him her arms, so he could see the cuts Al made.
"They are healed, but they will scar. How long they will scar I do not know."
"Jake is fighting Alejandro, I don't know how long it will take him to kill Al, but, I know it will take a long time."
"Let's go find Commander Riku and Shikamaru, they will want to know that you are alive."
Riley nods in agreement and they run in the opposite direction of where Jake and Al are fighting.
