Cages and Shadows

"I'll come back for you!" Ariana cried and jumped through the portal. "No!" She heard Cayden shout but she didn't care. He already hurt her. Ariana opened her eyes and found herself back in the store room of the clothing store. Ariana didn't waste time, she scrambled to get up and rushed towards the door. It was only a matter of time before Cayden would follow behind her.

She jerked the door open and ran into the clothing store. She didn't even look to see who was there, she needed to get to the street. "W-wait!" A man called out desperately just as Ariana grabbed the front door handle. She didn't wait, she pulled open the door and rushed out.

Ariana ran blindly, her body knew where she was going, at least she hoped her body did because the chaos was something unexpected. People were running all over the place, screams littered the air and weird shadows were grabbing people to inspect them while others were being detained by robed people.
