They say she survived an attack from the shadow clan. They say she was there to witness the fall of the last Shane. Rayleigh is indeed a survivor but not of what people think or will believe. Rayleigh competes in illegal slugslinging tournaments fo...
***Panic attack warning*** Will have **** at beginning and end.
A cold empty feeling spreads through my body as we arrive closer to the vaults. "It will be alright." Pronto assures me. I look at him unsure. "Yeah maybe." My body feels numb yet filled with such emotion. As we reach closer to the entrance of the vault room.
****** When we get to the entrance I can feel my pulse quicken. I try to swallow the huge lump in my throat. I feel the walls beginning to close in as my body begins to tremble. I can't let them see me like this. I squeeze my eyes shut only to see my mothers body being absorbed into one of those monsters. "...igh. Ra..." I hear a familiar voice but can't tell who it is. No one is down there. No one is down there! No one is down there! Everyone was in town square. Everyone was in town square. I feel someone grip my shoulders. "Rayleigh it's okay." I open my eyes seeing the worry in Will Shane's eyes. I gulp and will myself to slow my breathing until Will releases my shoulders. ******
I look straight ahead at the stone wall where I see the lever. Using a Tormato slug's energy I release the lever and the stone slowly rolls away. Taking in a deep breath I drive my mechabeast inside. "This place smells..." Trixie pauses a moment. "Stale. It smells stale." I sound relieved and smile sadly. At least no one has been here for a while. "Which vaults are we opening?" Will had driven up beside of me. "Which ever ones we need to." I hold my head up looking down the stone hall which opens up at the center and branches off into different spaces where cube like safes are lined up. "Kai care to help out." She chirps before jumping into my slug tube. "Most of the vaults are sealed with smolten." I inform everyone before getting off my mechabeast. "Smolten? Why would you use smolten? Wouldn't it be hard to find Forgesmelters?" Trixie follows behind me. "Not for us. Exlisle Cavern, my home, we focused on the the needs of all types of slugs. The few people ,who the shadow clan approved of, went to a lightwell. Once they returned they acted as a guide for all types of slugs." I smile sadly as we spot my family's vault. "Kai care to help?" She chirps in responce as I load her in my blaster. "Eli use Torch and open any safe you feel like you'll find something. Take only the gold coin. No personal belongings." Eli nods quietly before loading Torch and firing at a nearby safe. I stare at my family safe before Will get my attention. "You don't have to do this. We'll find another way." I answer him by shooting my blaster. The smolten burns seat revealing the steal lid. "If we are taking innocent people's money I can use mine." I state bluntly before slowly walking to the vault. I close my eyes as I open the door. I open them seeing moms ruby hair pin. I smile sadly as I grab it.

"Was that your mothers?" Trixie takes a closer look. "Yes this is my mothers." I say softly as I place it firmly in my hair. I grab one of the 2 medium sized bags of gold coin as Trixie grabs the other.
Why is she helping me? Why are they helping me? Why haven't they left yet? I ask myself as I place my gold coin bag under my seat. Trixie places the other bag beside the one I grabbed. "I have a few things I want to grab before we leave." I state walking back to the vault.
