	Back Down Under

Chapter 1

I awaken to a torch in my face. I have to squint to keep my sight, I mean who would put a torch in my face when I'm not even awake yet? Then I think harder. Solovet. "Get that torch out of my face, Solovet," I command. "Try again, sweetie," says a rough voice as a hand clamps over my face and the torch is extinguished. I try to scream but something sharp hits my back, hard. I can fell the blood trickle down my back. I start to feel nervous, not scared, never scared, but I don't tense. I refuse to give my captor the satisfaction of seeing my squirm. I just stay limp as he carries me out of my room. I smell the moldy and horrid smell of his clothes. He had some really soft clothes, maybe it wasn't clothes at all. That is when the alarm set in. I quickly swing my leg up to my hand, grab the knife that I always have inside o my boots, and hold it to my captor's throat. He only chuckles. "Took you long enough, princess." Ripred. I sigh in relief to know that I'm not in any immediate danger. "You startled me," is all I say. "Well, I'd think, Luxa. You should've known that it was a gnawer before I could put my paw to your mouth. You need more practice, the bane won't let you live if he could get his hands on you." He doesn't continue because we all know that are only chance to defeat the bane lies with our Overland hero, Gregor, and his family has moved to Virginia to get away from all the prophicies and battles. After all, he was only 13 now anyways, which is older than me but he's from this place called New York. His mother does not approve of him being down here and fighting our battles. Not many Overlanders wonder into the Underland, much less survive. Ripred continues down the hall to where he was taking me. Aurora flutters to my side. "He told me not to interfere," she says guitily. I only rub her head to comfort her. I know that she would have protected me, even given her life becuase that it what bonds do, if I was in any real danger. Slowly, I followed Ripred to see what was so important that he would have to have me alone to see it.
