-Beckham-

It felt like forever before Cowyn opened his eyes again. I was completely and utterly exhausted, but I couldn't rest until I knew he was alive. "Cowyn?" I asked quietly when I saw his eyelids flutter open. He whispered in reply, but his voice was too weak to hear. He's alive, I thought. It didn't matter that he was weak, he was alive. "Do you know what's going on now?" I asked. After a prolonged silence, he shook his head.

Sighing, I sat straight up again. My eyes had grown fully accustomed to the darkness by this point, and I had surveyed the small room we were in. It resembled something of a jail cell, completely grey stone all around. Though, there was an opening in one of the walls. I was too apprehensive to scope it out while Cowyn was in the state he was currently, so I'd waited for him to wake up. "Any way out?" Cowyn asked weakly, not having scavenged the room himself.

"One, but I haven't tried it yet," I answered. "What about the others?"

"As far as we know, they could be dead. We have to keep ourselves alive in the pure hope that they do, too."

Hearing that made my heart break. Laelyn could be... Dead. No, Beckham. She's alive, and you need to stay alive, too. But first I had to find a way out.

"Can you sit up?" I asked. He nodded.

"I think so..." he mumbled, pushing himself up off the ground.

"Good. Let's find a way out of here," I said, my voice sounding much more confident than I felt.  

Author's Note!

Okay, I KNOW this is short. Beckham's part is going to be shorter for the next few, but I figured I should update for you guys! And I'm hoping you'll be happy to know that Cowyn is in fact still alive! Hooray!

Anyways, I'm still writing Laelyn's part, and will hopefully be done soon! (But who knows lol I'm still sick so idk) But hey, I love you guys! See you all next update!
