“Where…” Ginger started to speak but was interrupted by him.
“You do not touch my friends or Ginger”, Haanz warned the demon.
Father genuinely giggled now, “Or what You will strangle me with your toy hands?”, he
asked with curiosity.

“Run!” Haanz ordered everyone still staring sharp in his eyes.
“But…but…”, Wobbly wanted to ask – but where?
“Just run, I have a plan.” He answered.

They ran. This time together. This time not escaped but followed. This time in a direction,
with a direction.
“This way!” Haanz steered them around a huge tree trunk and halted them in the middle
of nowhere.
“Now one by one, jump.”, he ordered everyone looking at Ginger.
They would have thought he was playing a prank with asking them to jump into a flat
grass ground. But they couldn’t afford to think so.
Loud thuds and cliking metal sticks were audible behind them. And in the next breath,
they jumped.

darkness with his floppy hands.
“Look ahead, Wobbly. Look at the rim of light covered with the rock, follow it. We are all
right besides you…”, Haanz told him.

“It’s a tunnel..”, Wobbly affirmed, with dilated pupils and wide searching eyes.
