Another narrow hallway waited on the other side.

Willow went first.

“There you guys are!”

We turned to see Charlie had joined us again.

Where he went, I had no clue.

They both go out the door, and I followed.

I reached for it-

A hand shot out of the darkness.

It closed around my wrist.

My breath caught.

I was pulled backwards.

Fast.

The door swung shut.

“Raven?”

My back hit something solid.

A body.

One arm came around my waist.

For half a second, instinct took over.

Then I saw the black glove wrapped around my wrist.

I stopped fighting.

My breathing changed.

Slowly, I looked up.

His tall frame hovered above me.

The mask firmly in place.

My heart slammed.

Not from fear.

Not anymore.

A smile spread across my face.

“There you are.”

His grip tightened slightly around my waist.
