t　downward；　taking　us　deeper　into

the　ground；　and　it　made

me　claustrophobic。　Only　Edward's　hand；　soothing　against　my　face；　kept　me　from

screaming　out　loud。

I　couldn't　tell　where　the　light　was　ing　from；　but　it　slowly　turned　dark

gray　instead　of　black。　We　were

in　a　low；　arched　tunnel。　Long　trails　of　ebony　moisture　seeped　down　the　gray

stones；　like　they　were

bleeding　ink。

I　was　shaking；　and　I　thought　it　was　from　fear。　It　wasn't　until　my　teeth

started　to　chatter　together　that　I

realized　I　was　cold。　My　clothes　were　still　wet；　and　the　temperature　underneath

the　city　was　wintry。　As

was　Edward's　skin。

He　realized　this　at　the　same　time　I　did；　and　let　go　of　me；　keeping　only　my

At　the　end　of　the　tunnel　was　a　grate—the　iron　bars　were　rusting；　but　thick　as

my　arm。　A　small　door　made

of　thinner；　interlaced　bars　was　standing　open。　Edward　ducked　through　and

hurried　on　to　a　larger；　brighter

stone　room。　The　grille　slammed　shut　with　a　clang；　followed　by　the　snap　of　a

lock。　I　was　too　afraid　to

look　behind　me。

On　the　other　side　of　the　long　room　was　a　low；　heavy　wooden　door。　It　was　very

thick—as　I　could　tell

because　it；　too；　stood　open。

We　stepped　through　the　door；　and　I　glanced　around　me　in　surprise；　relaxing
