On the Platform:
- "Are you okay?" Avalon had taken hold of my shoulders and looked through my neck to see after wounds from the knife. I smiled.
- "Yes, I'm okay!" I answered him. He smiled back, something unusual since he had sulked with me since we left Fripp. Maybe it was the kiss before, which brought up something about him. - "Watch out!" I screamed when a guard from nowhere came up behind Avalon. Avalon threw himself forward, over me, and we avoided from being cast down by what I saw, a baseball bat. Avalon struck out his hand to the man, flew backwards and landed a short distance away from us.
- "I need my sword!" Avalon mumbled while he was still above me. He looked back down at me. I smiled nervously.
- "Could you get off me?" I said then and pushed him away. He rose quickly up and pulled me up, but I went down to the platform again, when another man had come to us. I hit in the back and breathed out heavily by the blast.

Avalon struck out his hand to the man, even as he flew and landed behind me. Avalon pulled me up on his feet again.
- "Maybe you should find a place to hide?" I nodded in agreement and started running away from the platform. Elisabeth fought together with Alex, against a gang that was trying to overtake them. She threw a ball of fire on the men, who flew backwards and landed on the other side of the platform. Alex used her legs and kicked down a man. Another came and put her arms around her. The man was much bigger than Alex, but Alex was growing up with four brothers, she know all their tricks. She pulled away by taking in force with her legs of the platform and throw herself backwards. It made the man lose his footing as he fell backwards and got Alex over himself. The man gasped for breath and let go of Alex, who came up on the her legs again.

Linda and Lisa stood with their backs to each other and used their forces to paralyze the men. One by one they fell backwards and lay unconscious on the platform. 
I hid behind a pair of drums that stood at the stairs. I checked after Emma, who had vanished without trace, like Derek's body. A sword rang and Avalon had regained his sword and used it as protection. Many of the men used the baseball bat made of steel or other weapons they found. I backed away when one of the men fled down the stairs and away from the battle. When I backed off as I heard metal hit against metal and I turned around. There lay the iron bars, I picked up one of them and went into battle. I gave myself at the men by popping up behind them and hit their heads.

The guards fell forward after the iron pipe had hit him in the head. I could not help but smile when I saw how he fell forward. I got a little overconfident and rushed me to the next guard. Just that, this guard was ready. When I would give a blow to the back of the head, he turned around and caught the iron pipe with his hand. His face had an evil grinning, and with the other free hand, he grabbed my throat. I dropped the iron pipe and brought my hands to the neck.
- "Brat!" He growled and squeezed. I panicked and began clawing around his hand. He squeezed even harder instead.
- "Avalon" I whispered hoarsely. The man looked moderately amused. When his hand softened slightly, he turned me around, let go and I was thrown across the platform. Struck first in the shoulder and rolled around until I ended up on my back.
- "Chiara" Avalon screamed and tried to get through to me. Elisabeth, who lost control for a moment, looked after me and got two men over her, which forced her down on the platform with her face down.

Alex hurried to Elisabeth's help and kicked both of them men who rolled away from Elisabeth. 
- "Are you okay?" She asked her and helped her to her feet. She nodded. 
- "I'm okay, I lost it for a while." She pointed at me lying on the platform and tried to stand. Alex started running up to me, but stumbled when a man tripped her down. 
- "Chiara" She shouted, trying to break free from the man. I heard the sword struck against iron. 
I managed to get up sitting when I went down to the platform again. The man had come up to me and he had knocked me down and stood with the boot against my chest. 
- "This will go fast, you will not feel anything!" He smile was evil and I started to panic and tried to move off the boot, but however much I tried, it was pointless. His strength was affordable. He raised his iron pipe over his head and swung a punch. I closed my eyes.

A jingle was heard, and I opened my eyes slowly. Avalon had arrived just in time and stopped the blow with his sword. He beat away the iron pipe and struck down the bigger man. His boot disappeared from the chest and I could finally sit up. 
- "Could you not keep you hidden?" Growled Avalon who helped me up. I stumbled and ended up on my knees in front of him. I struggled to breathe normally. It's not every day you have a boot in the chest. 
- "You know me too well, I'm not going to sit and watch when you got the fun!" I said and stood up. Avalon stood before me. The man came back with a new attack, and now he turned himself in to Avalon. Avalon rescued battle with sword and held it. He beat off the man, who stumbled backwards. 
- "Can not you hurry up after Emma and see where she's gone?" He continued anxious.

- "But what about you?" I was just as worried as he was.

- "We're fine, we'll be done shortly. Please join for Emma!" He turned towards me and pulled me in to him, and he pressed his lips against mine, for the second time today. I answered it, released him, and hurried to the stairs and started running downhill, away from the platform.
I stayed below the stairs and held my shoulder. It hurt and it must have been taken the worst blow when I hit the platform. I braced myself and started running down the stairs.
If nothing else, Emma must have made their way down the stairs to get out of here. I continued down through all the corridors. No other guards in sight, even though they had run down the stairs and disappeared from the platform. The hallways continued and felt long and they never seemed to have no end.

I stayed when I heard voices. I snuck my way through the hall and listened. Derek's voice? So he was alive!
I ran back and rounded the corner into the hallway and saw them both. They stood and held each other, their foreheads low against one another. None of them said anything. Until Derek opened his mouth.
- "Emma, Will you marry me?" My heart was beating flips and I felt like breath went out. Emma looked equally surprised and she lost the power of speech. I came to my senses and started to feel furious! How can he even think to ask such a thing when our lives are still at stake?

I opened my mouth to call out at them, but when step came behind me, it made me turn around. 
It was a stupid idea! I stood face to face with the man who shot Derek. The air went out of me when I felt a pain that came from the stomach. I gasped for air and looked down. He had come to me very quickly that I had no time to avoid him. My shirts were ferried on to a darker color and there was messy. I watched terrified into the man's face, who smiled.
- "I will take what I can find!" He told me. I continued to gasp for air while he pressed the knife deeper into me and I screamed. The scream went through the whole platform.
- "Chiara" Derek and Emma screamed my name at the same time. I fell to the floor and Ron came down after me. He pulled out the knife and thrust it into me again. This time higher up. Ron was ripped away from me and Derek got a hit in his face and kneed Ron over his stomach, before he then struck a blow to the man's face. Ron went into the wall and slid slowly to the floor, unconscious.

Emma had sat down next to me. She placed her hands on my stomach where the knife had hit me first. She cried and told me to stay awake. I continued to gasp for air. 
- "Avalon" She screamed, and I could see through the mist, how Avalon sat down beside me. A pain pierced through and the knife still lodged in me, were removed. I coughed and felt how I spitting up blood. Emma moved around and I began to see the silhouettes of people gathered around me.- "Hold on Chiara! Stay awake!" I heard the voice of Avalon talk calming to me. - "Elisabeth! Do something!" He cried afterward. 
- "I do everything I can!" A noise that sounded like glass struck the glass, got me trying to keep me awake. I looked towards Avalon. I could not see anything, my light began to transform into a darkness. 
- "I'm sorry ... I ... I ..." I tried to talk but instead coughed and the taste of blood forced their way up the neck. Avalon hyschade me and his hand stroked my forehead. Blood again stuck in my throat and I coughed up more blood. 
- "Do not talk, keep you awake!" He continued to talk quietly with me. 
- "We have to get to the captain's boat, I can not help her here" Elisabeth's voice became numb in the dark and I began to close my eyes.

- "Chiara keep you awake! Please do not fall asleep!" Emma's voice was so dominant and she shook me. I felt my mouth corners pulled up into a smile and I nodded unconsciously and let the darkness embrace me.
