they stepped forward into the darkness and the mist. They stepped forward into the darkness and the mist, the vapor separating beneath their feet. As Eden watched, hairline cracks covered the ground beneath them. There was the sound of the earth moaning beneath their feet . Oh, no. They have to get out of there.
    One of the soldiers move d to the left and the other moved to the right, walking through the white mist. There was the sound of loud crunching, a bang, and then both of the Demons ’ lanterns went out at the same time. The world went black and loud screams filled the air.
    â€œ What ’ s going on? ” Corporal Dawson asked, grasping Eden ’ s shoulder. “ This has never happened before. What is it? ”
    Eden heard the ground crack beneath her and felt the world move again. Two pairs of strong arms grasped her around the waist and flung her backward, into the white mist. She yelped and rolled, seeing white faces all around her. She was encased by them . Trapped . One of the lanterns appeared in front of her, and the white face of a Raider disappeared with a whisper. It was Sergeant Dale.
    â€œ Get up, ” Sergeant Dale said, seizing her arm. “ Get up, now . ”
    Then the earth trembled again, but this time, the earthquake did more than cause hairline cracks. The earth to the left of her broke apart at the plate, and Eden watched as half of the troop fell into a quickly growing massive hole in the ground. She yelled in horror as she watched the kind soldier wave his arms in a windmill motion seconds before he toppled backward and into the massive , gaping hole. She heard him scream for a moment and then nothing.
    â€œ No, ” Eden whimpered.
    â€œ Come on, ” Sergeant Dale said, holding onto her arm and forcing her to turn. “ If something happens to you, whatever is out there is going to be the least of my worries. Keep going. ”
    Eden was forced forward, though she kept casting looks over her shoulder . Now Sergeant Dale was the only on e with a lantern, but Eden could hear screams of soldiers as the mysterious Satan Spawn attacked . What kind of Satan Spawn is that? She gazed up at Sergeant Dale, fear causing her soul to tingle , and saw his eyes were also wide and his mouth was open . She knew then he had no idea what was out there either, which further enhanced her terror. If he didn ’ t know what was out there, then how was he supposed to fight it? She would much rather fight a known enemy than an unknown one.
    Eden got her first glance of the prison a s they ran up the hill . I t was highlighted by thousands of lanterns to keep Raiders at bay ; the walls were high and made from the same orange sandstone that the ground appeared to be made from. All around the prison, hovering as if waiting, was the same white mist of the Raiders. Yet Eden would rather be in the frightful prison right now then out here.
    â€œ Come on, ” Sergeant Dale said, urging her forward again.
    As Eden ran, she felt the earth move beneath her again and began to lose her balance. To her left, she heard the sound of shuffling . A cold breath was in her ear, breathing straight into it. She shook of f Sergeant Dale ’ s arm , leapt to the left , and rolled seconds before the ground cracked beneath her and the plates once again began to split.
    The sound of a lantern breaking filled Eden ’ s ears, and then she heard Sergeant Dale ’ s yell of fear. As the earth stopped shaking, she gazed over the side of the plate where it had cracked and saw him dangling by his fingertips over the ravine. All she would have to do was flee, and he would fall into the pit . He deserved it. Eden remembered what he had done to her earlier, while leaving the boat.
    â€œ Then I ’ ll guess you ’ ll just have to toss her down. We ’ ll try to catch her. Maybe. ”
    Being tossed had frightened her out of her mind. But yet…
