Two figures ran along the road at top speed, cars quickly swerving out of their way. “Bree!” Kaleb called after her as she sped towards the Colorado desert. She glanced back at her brother, and then looked further back at the pursuing police, quickening her pace. “Bree!” Kaleb yelled again, louder. Bree saw it right before it almost hit her in the face, ducking under the sign and continuing the run, faster.

Kaleb rolled his eyes and tried to keep up with her, “Wait a go Bree!” I know she means well, but it was her fault anyway, she’s always messing with the police making things harder on both of us. They ran further into the desert, until Bree finally stopped and waited for her brother. Kaleb came up panting behind her, and Bree grinned. “Fun right?”

“Fun?” Kaleb panted. “You call this fun?” He glanced behind them again to make sure the police were gone. “Yeah.” Bree nodded.

“You could have gotten us killed!” Kaleb glared at her.

Bree rolled her eyes. “The police wouldn’t kill  us! It’s against the law!”

“Judging from the amount of things we’ve stolen, we’d be spending the rest of our lives in prison, Bree!” Kaleb corrected her.

Bree snorted, but threw a small bag on the ground at his feet. “Happy?”

“How did you get this?”

“Stole it.”

“I know, but how did you-”

“A magician never reveals her secrets.” Bree smiled.

“I’ll let you off this once…” Kaleb decided finally, scooping up the bag. “But you’d better not do that again.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Bree grinned.

They started walking further into the desert, with no intentions of being spotted on the Highway again. “Hey…” Bree held Kaleb back. “What is that?”

She pointed at a sandy, swirling mass making its way towards them, destroying the few things that were in its path.

“Run!” Kaleb yelled.

“Where?” Bree asked.

“What?” Kaleb yelled.

“WHERE?” Bree screamed.

“Just run!” Kaleb responded.

They started running, but Kaleb soon realized that couldn’t outrun the storm. “We need to find shelter!” Kaleb yelled towards Bree.

“Then hurry up!” Bree yelled back.

Bree shielded her eyes with her hand against the blinding light and swirling sand. “In there!”

“That dosen’t look safe…” Kaleb stared at the large cave entrance with huge stalagmites running along the mouth. “Do you have a better idea?” Bree grabbed his hand and yanked him towards the cave. “That’s a bad idea!” Kaleb shouted, but let her pull him towards it.

“We need to get further in,” Bree decided, glancing into the cave.

“We’ll get lost in there,” Kaleb protested.

“Do we have anywhere to be in the next thirty years?” Bree asked, watching as her brother remained silent. “I thought so. C’mon.”

Little did they know entering that cave would be a huge mistake…

A fool of his guard could fall, and fall hard… out there on the dunes

The Cave’s mouth slammed shut.
