The fear drew Aria in. It was strong, it was mixed with pain and helplessness. There was no hope left in the person beneath the farm house. Aria searched the perimeter of the house and found an entrance to the storm cellar below. The fear was nearly overwhelming from this particular vantage point. Just inside Aria could feel the victim of this man, waiting until he returned, the unknown was far worse than knowing in some cases. How long until you ended up just like one of the other girls...
The door was locked, but it was made of wood. She could shoot the hinges off, but that's too noisy. Aria sighed. Looking around she saw nothing of use. The only of real use was her sword, but she'd never thought to use any sword as an ax before? The blade did not dull, nor nick on stone or metal, wood should do even less harm. But would it work.
Aria glanced around, and raised her sword above her head. She took aim at the hinge locations and hoped to break through the wood there to get inside. Hopefully that was all it would need. Aria took a deep breath and swung her sword into the wood. It was a loud thud, and the wood broke away. It wasn't nearly as sturdy as it had looked. Aria hit the area above the same hinge again and she could see a dim light through the wood. A few more swings and Aria was able to move the storm cellar door from the opening.
The fear and pain were only a mere feet away. She took the first step down into the storm cellar, the boards creaked under he feet. Aria closed her eyes, behind the closest door the fear shook. Her hands trembled with the fear. Aria reached for the door... SLAM! Everything went black.
