They neared the exit, and then stopped short in horror, there, in front of them, in front of the daylight, was a grate.

A iron grate, making it so there was no way out; they went up to it, there was no way to open it, no handle, no lock.

Sukrae closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. "We almost made it," he thought sadly, "we almost made it."

Slowly he opened his eyes, looked above him, and shouted,
"Hey Taena!" he called, "Look at this!"

Just above him was a rope, conected to a couple of pullys,

"It's a portcullis," Taena breathed, coming over to look, "pull that rope and the grate should go up."

Sukrae reached above him, up to the rope, and pulled.

Two things then happened, very fast, the first thing that happened was that the grate started drawing up into the roof of the cave, and Taena gave a cry of delight. "It's working!"

The second thing that happened was that when Sukrae pulled on the rope, his arm disloged a jug of foul-smelling liquid that had been sitting on a rotting wooden shelf, and the brown gunk fell, pouring over his wounded arm, and splattering on the ground.

Luckily, Taena was far enough away that none of it got on either her or Teegan, and she gasped. "Are you ok?" she asked, "That stuff looks nasty."

Sukrae glanced down at his arm, "I just hope none of that is....," Taena looked at his arm, it was turning a pale green, "... poisoned." he finished, and, looking down at his arm, "Oh no."

Taena had managed to catch the grate when he had pulled the rope, and now she propped it up with a section of wood that was lying next to it. "Sukrae come through," she said, "I already got Teegan by."

Walking over to where she was, he stooped, and ducked under the grate. "I'm tired." he mumbled, and slumped over next to the wall.

Taena checked him, he was out cold,

'Hooray,' she thought, 'now there's two of them.'

She picked up Teegan and carried her out of the cave and into a small clearing, next to a stream, and, placing her on the grass she went back, and got Sukrae.

----

Taena crawled into the small shelter she had made to check on her patients, they were both in a bad way, Sukrae was cold and clammy, and when she looked at his wound, it was greenish and festering,

Teegan, on the other hand was hot and dry, her leg dripping pink fluid.

Taena had ripped up her shirt, dipped the peices in the brook and draped them over Teegan, and she had covered Sukrae in anything warm she could find, now there was nothing to do but wait.

Sometime in the middle of the night she woke up, couldn't get back to sleep, and left the shelter for more wood; while she was looking she suddenly began to feel uneasy and went back towords the shelter.

She saw a dark shape over by the trees and turned to face it. "Who's there," she called. The dark shape drew nearer, and, in a voice that chilled her to the bone, it spoke. "I am death," it hissed, throwing back the hood of it's black robe, and revealing a grinning skull where its head should have been, "I have come for your friendsss."

"No," she said, moving in front of the shelter. "No."

The grim reaper looked suprised. "It isss their time," it hissed, "ssstand assside."

It came closer, and looked into her eyes, suddenly her head was filled with a blinding pain, and she stumbled to the ground.

"No," she thought to herself, "I won't give up that easy."
She stood up, and distracting it by looking into where its eyes should be, she kicked it between the legs with all her strength.

It fell to the ground and quickly scrambled to its feet,
"I am death*hh." it hissed again.

"Shut up," Taena told it, "you don't know what you're talking about."

It took a step backwards, not used to being dissed by mortals.

"Go away," she said, "go on, shoo!" It turned, shuffling back towards the trees, "Scram!" she yelled after it, crawling back into the shelter. 'That ought to fix it.' she thought happily to herself.

She checked Sukrae and Teegan again, they were both considerbly better, not having the shadow of death hanging over them anymore.

Taena smiled, and lay down for a well-deserved sleep.
