But before she could say more, the sound of her voice dislodged another stone.
Raegan was paralyzed with fear, afraid to move or make any noise.

The earth split beneath her, creating a wide gap.
Raegan slipped downward, screaming as she fell.
The ground she had been standing on just moments before vanished.
