"Yeah," *Yeah,* Sunny agreed. "Nocarry," *I'd carry her, but I'm too small, so would you guys mind?* she asked.

Cautiously, they lifted the unconscious Carmelita to the exit and eventually deposited her at the foot of the nurse's office. After a brief explanation to the nurse, they were off to find the source of the blood.

Lindow led them to the dictionary trapdor. "This time, when we go over the first bump we have to make an abrubt left turn. I know It's hard to tell there's an opening in the darkness, but if you go to the source of the draft you feel, you won't hit the wall."

Claire nodded as they stepped past the trapdoor. After the first bump, Claire tried to find the opening Lindow mentioned before. Blind in the dark, she held her hands in front of her, trying to feel the opening or at least a draft. She stumbled, but regained her balance after tripping over Sunny. "Whoops. Sorry, Sunny!" Claire apologized.

As Claire was sliding through the opening, she grabbed Sunny as they were pulled, forming a chain.

Sunny tried not to scream, secretly grateful that someone was holding on to her.

Meanwhile, Carmelita was arousing from her unconcious slumber. As she squinted around the room not moving her head she wondered where she was. "Am I in heaven" she thought to herself as she stared up at the white ceiling.

"Prepare to break your toes!" Lindow said as they were nearing the end.

Claire braced herself for the impact and was jolted temporarily. She brushed herself off and checked to make sure both Lindow and Sunny had landed safely.

"Okay, now all we have to do is turn left when we hear the sound of the sewing machine."

Giving a nod of approval, Sunny listened carefully, then started to toddle off, Claire and Lindow following behind.

Lindow covered her nose. The smell of blood was getting stronger.

"Letknow," *Could you let us know when we get there, Lindow? You know this tunnel better than we do,* Sunny asked.

"Aaaaand...Turn!" She turned left into a tunnel that seemed to be made from driftwood. "Almost there."
