The Arena (Ultimate Soldier Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Lila thought it was maybe a quarter of an hour later when she reached the second branch. These tunnels were even smaller than the one she was in now, each branch half the size of the parent tunnel. Lila could have reached her arms over her head and touch the ceiling with her fingertips if she had wished. Lila stood at the fork, eyes closed, waiting for another gust of air. It came from the branch to her right, which angled slightly upward. She paused, glancing backward, wondering if she should turn back. Eventually the pull of new discovery won over her reluctance and she trotted down the smaller tunnel. Her stomach growled its protest at her meager breakfast but was ignored. Her legs were still strong and this gave her something to do while she worked off her anger at the conversation with Katie. It wouldn't hurt to explore a little while longer. The flashlight bounced with her steps, showing the way along a concrete floor that seemed different in a way that nagged at Lila but she couldn't quite place.
