Chapter 10:

Biana's POV

'''Where was she? Biana thought as she pushed herself into a sitting position. Mud and dirt covered her face, as she had been laying awkwardly on her belly. She was sore everywhere... but a throbbing pain in her left leg stole most of her attention. '''

'''There were trees all around her. Familiar trees. '''

'''Then she remembered. The hive... the crystals... Alvar.'''

'''Biana struggled to get to her feet. "DEX!" she souted. "LIHN!" '''

'''There was no answer. Only the quiet of darkness, and the trickle of running water. She had to find Lihn. Lihn had faced down Trix, she remembered. What if the neverseen were still there? '''

Watching.

'''Biana gulped, and limped along a muddy pathway, away from the cave, and hopefully towards her house. Lihn and Dex would have headed for the house, too. There was only one problem.'''

'''She was lost. '''

'''"Come on, Biana." She muttered to herself. "Which way's north?"'''

'''She looked up for the sun, only to realize that it was by now dark. She limped a little faster, not wanting to remain in a place where the enemy could be waiting in the cover of darkness. '''

'''She took a familiar looking turn, but froze in her tracks. Something was moving in the bushes... she heard a rustle.'''

'''In the darkness, little beams of moonlight bounced off of leaves, making them look like faces. Watching her. She bolted in the other direction, ignoring the stabbs of pain in her leg, panting and sweating. '''

'''She was breathing so loudly now, anyone would have heard it. '''

'''But the darkness followed her everywhere she ran, and before she could stop herself, she knew that she was utterly and hopelessly lost. '''

'''Biana sank down to her knees, trembling... '''

'''Memories of darkness flooded through her mind. There she was. Laying in on the floor next to the shattered mirror. Blood leaking from her face onto the ground. '''

Red blood.

Silver flractals.

Darkness.

'''Biana felt her self vanish into the night. '''

'''"BIANA!" Someone was calling her. She looked up, the voice was male, and it sounded like Dex. She heard footsteps, but they didn't blend with the darkness. There was something warm about them.'''

'''Friendly. '''

'''"I'M HERE!" she called. For some reason she couldn't stand, and her vision was becoming blurry. A silhoette of a person came into veiw, standing at the end of the pathway. Dex.'''

'He can't see me.'' She realized. Biana made herself vizible. The sihloette emmediately rushed down the path, growing swiftly bigger and bigger.'''

But then Biana's vision went black, and she sank into the silky depths of sleep.
