Taena was getting tired.
They had been walking down the tunnel for what seemed like an eternity, and her strength was slowly giving out,
"Are you alright?" asked Sukrae, seeming to know exactly what she was feeling.
"I'm fine," she told him, "I think Teegan's passed out again though." And as she expected; his attention abruptly swiched from her, to her sister.
She rolled her eyes, even though he couldn't see her in the dark,
"Let's rest now," he said.
"Alright," she agreed, setting her twin down on the dusty floor, and sitting down herself.
"Teegan," she called, "we're stopping."
Teegan just groaned.
'Oh yay' Taena thought to herself, 'I'm stuck out here with two seriously hurt people'
"Lets get going," she said out loud, "I've been down here before, when I was looking for the way out, and there should be, maybe twenty more feet of this, and then a door."
"Alright," said Sukrae agreebly, "want me to help with Teegan?"
"No, I'm fine," she lied, "lets just go." And picking up Teegan, she continuted down the dry corridor.
At last they reached the door,
"You open it ok?" Taena asked Sukrae, "I've got my hands full."
"Sure," he said, pulling at the door's handle; at last it ground slowly open, and he stepped through.
