My head snapped up as I thought I heard a voice. I stayed motionless but heard nothing but rushing water. The disappointment churned my stomach. I trembled. My thick wool coat had soaked up water and hung heavily from my shivering shoulders. I pressed my hands to my forehead, trying to concentrate. I had to act quickly. Time was running out. Then I heard the voice again. It sounded like Tina. I shook my head. I must be delusional. “Kate?” It was Tina, and she was calling out for me. “Over here,” I shouted. “Help me. I’m trapped in a cave.” Her face appeared twelve feet above me. “Kate?” “Tina, I’m down here. I’m trapped! Go and get help. Call Benjamin. Tell him...” The words died in my throat as I saw my sister roughly yanked away. “Nooo!” The word left my mouth in an unnatural howl as Colin’s face appeared where Tina’s face had been. “Eat the chocolates, Kate,” he snarled. “You’re not getting out, and thanks to your actions, now I’ll have to dispose of Tina, too.”
