Immediately, the clouds seemed to race away,
replaced by a crystal clear sunset sky. The hole was
filled with unobstructed sunlight. A single brilliant ray
spotlighted a side tunnel which had previously been
hidden by dirt.
It was waist high above the mud and rose gradually
up to ground level. I slowly climbed into the narrow
opening and followed the light.

The wall in front of me began to collapse a little, so I
frantically began digging and pushing the dirt out of
my way until I reached the top.

Once out of that terrifying hole, I desperately ran for
the manor leaving the berries in a heap on the ground.
Out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw Nana Grace
lurking in the bush.

At the time it barely registered, as all I wanted to do
was get to the manor, pack my things and leave this
frightening place. I was irrational, in fright and flight
mode and nothing was going to stop me!

When I got to the manor, I rinsed myself with the
outdoor hose. The Professor had just gotten back and
was stunned when he saw me and ran back into the
manor to get a large towel.
