As she stared at her startled companion, sage felt her heart racing in her chest. She was panting, her breaths coming in painful gasps. It suddenly struck sage that she was glad she was chained to the wall. Otherwise, she might have done something terrible to the annoying girl next to her.

This time it could cost the both of them their lives.
