"Uh...anyone bring flashlights?" Grace asked, rubbing her wrist.

No one spoke.

"So," Grace said turning around, "how far is..." she trailed off. The woman was gone.

"Maybe we can grab one of these torches," Preston offered, reaching for the flame. But it was stuck.

"Looks like we'll have to go without it. I'll go first," Jillian said. "I can make the force field." But when she tried to walk on her own, she nearly collapsed before Gavin grabbed her.

"You can't even walk. Besides, you can make the force field, so you should be protected between us," he said.

"Me and Gavin can hold you, and Grace" Grace whimpered. "can scout ahead." Preston said.

"Gavin and I," Gavin whispered. Everyone looked at him. "Well, Maddie's not here, so someone had to say it."

Grace shuffled ahead. She stood taller and tried not to look scared. "It's clear." She walked faster, then banged into a wall. "Okay," she said as Preston grabbed her. "maybe it's not clear."

"Yeah, you think?" Preston let go of Grace.

They trudged onward through the darkness, Grace leading them with one hand out in front of her.  After a while, Grace stopped.

"Why did you stop?" Preston asked, shifting Jillian up onto a rock. He stood up.

"Because there are three paths."

"How about we split up?" Gavin asked.

"NO!" everyone else shouted.

Jillian stood up. "I'm okay," she said weakly when Gavin looked at her worriedly. "I think Gavin's right."

"I am?"

"Yeah, I can wait here, and all of you take a different path. Then come back. I'll sing, so you can come back when you can't hear me anymore."

"Okay," Grace said slowly. "I just wish I had a flashlight." Suddenly, her bright blue one appeared in her hand.

Everyone stared at her.

"Duh! I'm a conjurer!"

Soon, two more flashlights appeared in her hand.

"Here."

They nodded before walking forward. Grace took the middle, Gavin the right, and Preston the left.

Jillian started singing the first song that came into her head.

"I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves. I know-"

"JILLIAN!" Everyone screamed.

She laughed, and kept singing.

Preston returned first, his tunnel being a dead end. They heard banging and mumbles from the right side, then Gavin stumbled back.

"Um...definitely not that one."

They waited, but Grace didn't return.

"Should we-"

Then came the scream.
