Dannie's eyes are fixed on the creature until it disappears to the right behind a tower. A searing pain spreads all over her arm. It's as if it still has its claws buried in her skin. Looking down, her wrist is covered in blood.
Slowly she raises her hands and holds the iron bars of the cage, closes her eyes, and takes a deep breath. Moments later, the image of a door forms in her mind and the sounds of the creatures seem very close. Something is about to be revealed. She knows. She focuses more.
Gradually, the door turns transparent from the bottom.
It's dark inside, but she can see outlines of two male forms. The shorter one looks like Cobb. It's Cobb. In a flash, she sees the creatures trying hard to break the door.
"You're safe," she whispers. "Don't come out." If only he can hear her.
A screech jolts her from the trans, and one of the creatures is standing in front of the cage, eyes glowing red.
Cobb's heart bangs against his chest as they try to force their way in. He takes a step backward, pointing his weapon in diffferent directions. Everywhere is pitch black. Who pulled me inside? Where's this place?
Bang! The sound is so loud, and for a moment he believes the door has split. Then suddenly a warm object makes contact with his shoulder, more like a hand. He jumps, turns, and swings his weapon. "Don't come close!"
"Cobb." The voice is deep. "Dannie is in great danger."
