   I was being dragged along the ground with Cornelius by my side. He was taking one of his power naps at the moment, snoring away. I felt numb to the bone and tingly as if every part of me was sleeping. My mind even felt drowsy.
A very weird sensation, almost like a dream. A dream that is being dragged into a living nightmare.

The four of us were thrown into the back of a prisoner transport vehicle or, for short, PTV. There were always one somewhere in Lothal just in case there wasn't a close enough to the gate to throw a poor soul out to meet death itself.

   Yet, we were already in a devastating forest filled with demons. So why are they capturing us? How did they find us?

   Cold melt brush against my wrists. Hand cuffs. The sensation of the Canceler's effects were slowly fading the numbing feeling away. A chill ran up my spine as a cold feeling swept through me. Was this how it felt to be freezing to death in reverse?

   To numb every fiber in a body to the point where you feel you can't move? I'm surprised my breath isn't showing. Yet, I had a strange urge to huddle up against the nearest warm body. Weird.

   I watched the troopers stand at the end of the transport and a new guy in black armor walk in. He had sorta dark blond hair with sideburns. Is that a beard? His eyes, a light brown but were like an empty void. Cold and lifeless. His arms wrapped behind him when entering.

   Who was this guy? He looks a bit more important than the troopers.

   "I believe we have never met," he spoke suddenly, looking at Cornelius and me. I narrowed my eyes at the man. He walked up to us and stood a few inches away. My eyes averted to Sabine and Tua. Sabine looked like she wanted to tear him apart and Tua was silently bowing her head, looking at her lap.

"My name in Agent Kallus and you are all under arrest for treason against the Empire," the guy, know known as Kallus, introduced.

"Thanks for the introduction...but...I'd rather jump off a cliff than be in your presence," I snarked. He just stared down but I didn't shrink away. I'm tired of being seen as a scaredy cat. I've been through heck and back, talking with this Kallus dude doesn't seem as scary as what I've been through.

Of course, judging by the looks on both of the girls, it was like they knew him. Didn't Sabine tell me about this guy in her tragic past story? Wasn't this they guy who trained her to be all powerful, abused then abandoned her?

How does Tua know him? She seems...well...I don't know, I can't see her face. I swore to myself that her hands were trembling.

I looked back at Kallus.

"That can be...arranged," he offered, blankly. He looked over his shoulder at the girls then walked out. One of the troopers hit a button and the ramp lifted off the ground and lock shut.

The only light we had was the gloomy glow of the red warning light in the top corner. Shadows casted all over the small room making it more creepy. I couldn't even see the troopers standing next to the ramp.

A rumbling sound and trembling of the bench and floor told me the the engine turned on. We didn't start moving when a loud thump came from above us. Every eye looked up at the ceiling and could hear a cooing purr through the thick metal.

   The troopers pointed at the ceiling, ready to fire. Are they stupid or something? Did they learn anything in the academy? If this metal is what I think it is, then the bolts will just ricochet off the walls.

Yet, my mind was to busy to worry about being hit by a bullet. What I was really worried about was the thing that is on top of the vehicle. And if my suspensions are correct, then healing a wound from the thing, than a bullet, will not work. The only sound I could hear was my breathing and heart pounding against my chest. Cornelius must of awoken from his nap if it's this quiet.

One of the troopers was brave enough to take a step forward, making a bit of a loud thump.

Bam!

Something long shot through the ceiling and plunged itself all the way through the trooper's chest. I only had a second to see it it was a long and rugged tail with a large, knife-like end. As quickly as it came, the tail dragged back up with the trooper still attached and disappeared out of the hole.

The echoes of the trooper screaming and blood spilling into the hole made me freeze. I felt vomit traveling up and my being caught in my throat. With trembling hands, placed them over my mouth to quiet my shaky gasps.

   There was more yelling, gun firing, and shrieks outside from other troopers that went to help. By the sound of things that have been going on, I don't think those troopers were winning.

   The trooper that was still in here wedged himself in the far corner in a fatal position. His gun trained on the hole above. Like him, I couldn't move or speak, to shocked that something just like it would happen again.

I felt the cold brushing my skin and felt something watching me. Slowly, turning my head with a hand off but still hovering over my mouth in case, I looked for the source. My blood went cold and sweat formed on the side of my head.

The dark figure with yellow eyes was standing in the corner beneath the flashing red light. It stared straight at me. Then slowly raised its arm and pointed its finger right at Tua.

The light flashed and right when the darkness fell upon that corner it disappeared.
