“[Please, I, I wish to help, please.]”the words slowly woke Cody up.

"[Yeah, just go.]" Sara commented, following Cody to the fallen girl. Cody looked up again to see a vision of the man, hands dripping with blood. Hallowed laughter filled his ears, coming from all directions.

"[You...monster...]" Cody muttered, pulling himself off of the ground. "[Get out of my face.]" he said, as if the words were a swear.

"[Yes, please go.]" Sara finished, her words almost as heavy as Cody's.

"[It's pointing behind us.]"

"[S-Shut up!]"

"[Okay, I'll make you a bet. We follow the device, no matter what, for one whole week. We don't find the Darkfire in that time, I murder you in cold blood and hang your head on my wall. Shouldn't be too hard for a technological whiz, right?]"
