"Damn it!" Darius whispered when he heard the footsteps that Talisa heard.
"Do something!" Talisa said frantically.
"I can't do anything as long as my hands aren't free," said Darius.
Talisa immediately thought and frantically tried to think of anything she could do. Suddenly from the ground beneath them, a sharp root stabbed upwards very quickly. Talisa could have cut Darius' hand with the root, but luckily the sharp tip of the root stabbed into the rope that bound their hands.
Meanwhile, the sorcerer with a pounding heart unlocked the door and entered the room. He was very surprised when he saw the room was very dark. He moved his wand to light the torch, but it wouldn't light up. He was shaking a little because he couldn't see anything.
