I walked out of the library with the dark black guy, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. It was only when we stepped outside that I realized how dark it had become. I must have been so focused on the fight with the demon that I didn't even notice the sun setting.
The guy grabbed my arm and pulled me along the school's hallways. "Follow me," he said, his voice low and urgent. "We need to get to the dungeons."
I stumbled along beside him, struggling to keep up with his long strides. The hallway seemed endless, and the only light came from the flickering fluorescent bulbs overhead. It was like we were walking through a maze.
As we turned a corner, I saw a set of stairs leading down into darkness. The guy didn't hesitate, and I followed him down into the damp, musty underground.
