"Well here we are guys" said Alina as she stopped and she smiled as she turned to look at Annie, Maddie, Ollie and Curtis.
"Queen Lilith lives up there" said Alina as she pointed further and Annie looked to the little mountain in the distance, it looked like it would take a long time to get there, but she did not care at all, they were going to go there, get Matt and leave this place.
"Thank you Alina" said Annie as she smiled and Alina smiled at her.
"Are you sure that you want to go over there? I mean it's dangerous, and so far, maybe we should just wait for Queen Lilith to give Matt back or something" said Alina as she knew that it would not be ana easy task to get over there.
"You don't have to worry about that Alina, we will be fine" said Annie as she replied and Alina could see that Annie was very determined about this, and she was not going to give up at all.
"Alright Annie" said Alina as she smiled.
"Be safe, all of you" said Alina as she smiled and she looked at every one of them.
"We will be safe Alina" replied Ollie as he smiled and Alina smiled at him.
"We will be fine" said Maddie as she smiled, even though she did not really think that this was a good idea, she was sure that Matt would find a way to escape and that they should just be patient and wait, but Annie did not want to do that at all.
"We will be fine" replied Curtis as Alina smiled at him.
"Annie, I want you to have this" said Alina as she smiled and she handed Annie her bow and quiver of arrows.
"What why?" asked Annie in confusion as she did not understand.
"Because I want you to have it, and it's dangerous up there, it will help you to defend yourself" said Alina.
"But I can't take this Alina, this is your bow, and these are your arrows" replied Annie as she shook her head and she wanted to return them back to Alina as Alina refused to take them.
"It doesn't matter, I want you to have them, and I am not collecting them back, because knowing that you have them with you, is the only way that I will rest easy that you will be alright" said Alina as she smiled and Annie did not say anything at all.
"Just take them Annie" said Alina with a smile.
"*Sigh*, Alright" said Annie as she sighed and Alina smiled.
"Thank you Annie" said Alina as she hugged Annie.
"And everything will be alright, Matt is going to be alright" said Alina as she hugged Annie.
"I know…" replied Annie as Alina broke their hug.
"Well we have to go now, so we can get to Matt very soon" said Annie as Alina smiled and she waved them goodbye as she went her way.
"Come on, let's go" said Annie as she walked ahead and Ollie looked at Curtis, she really was determined to go and rescue Matt.
…
This was Matt's eleventh time walking around this room, knocking on the walls, looking for another secret entrance, he was just so tired of it all, and worst of all Lilith was confusing the life out of him, he could not understand her at all, and Matt felt like she had an obsession with him.
But how could you develop an obsession with someone that you had never met in the first place!!? Matt felt like he was trapped with some crazy psycho.
In the same moment as Matt was deep in his many thoughts, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps as in the same moment the secret entrance that he had been trying so hard to open suddenly opened as Lilith walked back into the room with a tray of food as the wall closed back almost immediately.
"Matt my love, I have your lunch" said Lilith as she smiled and Matt just looked at her as she ignored his gaze and she sat down on the bed.
"I have some fruit for you, which would you prefer, an apple, or grapes?" asked Lilith with a smile as she looked at Matt.
"Oh my love, what is it? What is making you look so grim?" asked Lilith.
"Let me go" said Matt as he could not stand this at all.
"Oh my love, I am sorry, but I can't do that, it took me a long time to finally get you, and I had to give Elvis many treats to go get you, because he hates going to where people are, so I can't let you go my love sorry" replied Lilith as she smiled and Matt did not know if she could hear what she was saying right now.
"You are crazy" said Matt.
"Crazy for you my love, come on, I finally have you, how do you expect me to let you go just like that?" asked Lilith.
"You will love it here, you just need some time my love" said Lilith as she smiled and Matt sighed, there was no use trying to reason with her, it was clear that she was insane.
"Come here my love, and eat" said Lilith with a smile.
"I'm not hungry" replied Matt as he was not going to eat anything till he found a way to get out here and escape from Lilith.
"Aww okay my love, I won't force you" said Lilith as she ate a grape.
"You know what, I want to get to know more about you, what is your favourite colour?" asked Lilith with a smile as Matt just looked at her as he said nothing at all.
"Oh you don't want to talk" said Lilith.
"Alright, that is no problem at all, we can just stare into each other's eyes" said Lilith as Matt turned his head to the side to stare at the wall.
"Oh well, alright, I still love looking at you my love" said Lilith with a smile as Matt sighed internally, of all the things that could happen to him, this had to be by far the worst.
…
Maddie groaned, she never realized just how heavy their bags were, Matt always carried them, it was now that she was starting to feel bad for how much they used Matt.
"These bags are so heavy" said Maddie as she groaned.
"Tell me about it" said Curtis as Annie just kept on walking, she did not care of their bags were heavy at all, all she cared about was finding Matt as soon as possible.
Annie kept on walking as the ground started to become more rocky and Annie was surprised when she realized that she could no longer move further.
"Dead end" said Ollie as he, Curtis and Maddie all caught up to Annie.
"Not a dead end, the only way to go from here is up" said Curtis as he pointed up and they all looked up.
"That's way too high" said Ollie.
"It doesn't matter, we have to get up there, that's the only way to get over there" said Annie as Ollie sighed.
"But that's too dangerous Annie, we aren't monkeys that can climb like experts, even monkeys can't climb on a place like this" said Ollie as Annie sighed, she knew he was right, if Matt was here, he would have got them up there easily, but he was not here, so they had to find a way up on their own.
"That also does not matter, we have to get up there, Curtis give me your climbing gear" said Annie as she looked at Curtis.
"Wait, wait, hold up a minute, Annie you are not strong enough to climb" said Maddie.
"But Maddie-" said Annie as she was cut off.
"But nothing Annie, you are not arguing with me here, I will do It" said Maddie as she removed her backpack.
"Isn't that too dangerous for you as well?" asked Ollie.
"Yes, he is right, it's dangerous Maddie" said Annie as Maddie scoffed.
"Annie, do you forget who was best at rock climbing during gym practice" said Maddie as she smiled and she put her hair up in a ponytail.
"Curtis, the harnesses?" asked Maddie as she looked at Curtis as Curtis threw her the harness as she quickly put it on.
"Okay, we need to make an arrangement, I will lead, since I know how to do this, someone strong should follow after me, and then Annie, and last Curtis" said Maddie.
"You mean me" said Ollie as Maddie just rolled her eyes and she did not reply to him.
"Shut up and put this on" said Maddie as she threw another harness at Ollie as he just sighed and he caught it, by now he was used to Maddie's unreasonable dislike for him.
"Safety is our most concern here, and this is very risky, Annie are you sure that you want to do this?" asked Maddie as she looked at Annie and Annie nodded her head.
"Well alright then" said Maddie as she sighed very deeply.
