A New Ally, A New Deal

Nikki crawled out from behind me and started walking towards Malachi as if she didn't care that he was literally going to end us. "What are you doing?!" Tisiah loudly whispered, "We don't have much time!"

Nikki stopped right in front of Malachi's group and stood up on her feet again. Her face was red with anger as she stared him right in the eyes, and she held her wand at her side in her hand tightly. She had a small smile on her lips and she looked like she was ready for a fight.

"We're gonna die," I sighed, looking around the cave as I realized there was no other way out of here but the way we came in.

"I don't care," Nikki said.

Tisiah whispered to her, "They aren't going to kill us. Not without us escaping." 

He looked to the side and then glanced up, seeing the small hole in the top of the tree that led outside of the cave. There were no steps leading up to it though, so we wouldn't be able to climb up out of here that way either.
