"Wait, you didn't-" shouted Riley, as the fairy cat jumped away and phased through the far wall. She ran over to the place where he escaped through, but no matter where she touched, it was solid and impassable. Then, there came another mechanical whir, and she could feel the distinct force associated with accelerating downwards. Then, everything goes black. Agonizing seconds pass, and Riley looks around for something, anything, that would shine any light in literal or figurative sense on her situation. Then, the wall parts, revealing a commotion on the other end. Humans rushing about under the lazy eye of horrendous beasts. Riley gasped, and this made one of the human women turn and glare at her. "Hey, there you are!" she shouts. "You're late!" Riley didn't know what to think. "I . . . I don't understand," she says, trying to hide her confusion. "I'm not late for anything. You don't know me, you don't even know my name . . . right?"
