Pain. It was all Claire felt. She opened her eyes, but nothing looked familiar. Was she underground? A second later, a plume of orange fire shot out of the wall next to her and she leapt away from the heat, crawling on her hands and knees as fast as possible over jagged rocks and stones to get to a wider part of the cave.

When she put weight on her right hand, a burst of pain shot up her arm, but when she squinted in the dim light, she didn’t see anything wrong with it.

Wait, that wasn’t right. Wasn’t it cut? The dogs. There had been dogs and she’d been inside a… what? Some old building….

Something warm brushed her ankle. Claire jerked away, looking all around her, but she couldn’t see anything. She blinked a few times and tried to see through the darkness, but everything seemed to be fuzzy around the edge. How was she supposed to survive if she couldn’t focus?

She kept crawling forward, the only option she really saw. She put everything she had into her efforts, and after a few minutes of darkness and more sensations she hoped to never relive, she finally reached a wider section of the cave.

Once she could stand, she looked right and left. She had to pick a direction to go, but she had no clue which. Come on…. Wind? She should focus on what direction the fresh air was coming from and go that direction.

Except the air wasn’t moving at all. Shit. She was about to say fuck it and go right, but something wrapped around her waist and pulled her back. She opened her mouth to scream, but a big hand covered it.

“What are you doing here?” snapped the angry voice in her ear.

The angry, familiar voice. She started to struggle in his hold, but it might as well have been a steel band around her. She was going nowhere until he wanted to let her go, and she had a sickening feeling she didn’t want to be screaming or drawing attention to herself wherever she was.

She tried a different technique and grabbed his arm. Except it wasn’t smooth skin. It was rough and ragged. She couldn’t see it, but she could feel that the strong forearm was covered with old and new scars. He finally let her go and she was quiet. Finally, she said it. “Jackson, what happened to you?”

Bright light flooded Claire’s vision and she blinked to clear her line of sight as she sat up. “Jackson!” she called, but Jackson wasn’t there. She jumped up and looked around her as the people surrounding her came into focus. She wasn’t in some dark and dangerous cave anymore. It was the beautifully decorated library at Claudia’s. She’d been on a couch and everyone was there.

Dante, Sam, Derek, Bastian, and Angela all surrounded her. Claire’s chest rose and fell as she tried to catch her breath and reconcile her present with the dream that had seemed so all-encompassing. “What happened? Where am I?”

Sam stepped forward and held out her hands in a nonthreatening way.
