Okay, so i said this would be long - but i didn't want to make you wait!
We stepped through the door into the cool, dark entrance hall. Ali scampered around the room and found a concealed door in the wall. She pushed it open and we moved forwards to the next room.
“Parkour,” growled Cass. We leaped across the room – Ali made an incredible save when April almost fell, and we got across to the other side safely. We stepped out into a large, empty room. There was a trapdoor in the ceiling.
“How do we get up there?” wondered Prim. I tilted my head, considering. Then, in a shadowy corner, I spotted a long coil of rope. I darted across and scooped it up, then raced back and snagged an arrow from Ali’s quiver.
“Hey!” yelped Ali, jumping away as I looped the rope around the arrow and tied it. I held it out.
“Shoot the ceiling,” I explained. Ali grinned and nocked the arrow neatly in her bow. She shot the ceiling right beside the trapdoor. The rope soared up with it and hung to the floor. I gave it an experimental tug.
“Perfect!” I smiled, and started to climb. I shoved the trapdoor open and hauled myself through.
“Come on!” I called. “One at a time, though,” Far below, Cass nodded and started to climb. I helped her through the trapdoor and Prim started up the rope after her. Soon enough, everyone had made it to the top. We closed the trapdoor and turned to face the room.
Millions of distractions occurred.
