As Kai stepped forward, his pace began to quicken; sharp fear of the darkness behind slowly overpowering his fear of the darkness ahead. If he doesn't get there on time, it'll all be over; he must remember that; nothing matters if he's too late.
Out of nowhere, his foot gets caught on something, and suddenly his right cheekbone is scraping along the rough stone floor, making a sickening grinding sound. Desperately cradling the bundle in his arms; protecting it his only priority.
He gets up; and after a quick panicked glance down, runs onwards. The damp air burns against his wounded face and the pain brings an already harrowing situation to an almost unbearable level of intensity.
