He jumped over the smaller stream with a bound and carried me toward the closest sinkhole
The steam from the hot spring washed my face
He was going to throw me into the dark, hot hole and let the boiling water pull me into the
ground as it burned me
?No, no!? I shouted, my voice too hoarse and low to carry

foot around replica chanel bags australia it, trying to yank myself out of his gripHe jerked me free with an impatient grunt

He wrapped both arms around me, as if we were embracing rather than locked in a killing
struggleThen he grabbed my waist from both sides and heaved with all his strength against my

But before he could take advantage, there was another result
The cracking sound was deafeningI thought the whole cave was coming downThe floor

from me, limp
The cracking of the floor settled into a sustained groanI could feel it shiver beneath Kyle's
bodyOur legs dangled above empty space, the steam condensing into a million
drops on our skin
?Kyle??
