Soon she couldn’t see him or his light.
    “Shit,” she said softly, turned around, but the light on her head only illuminated a few feet in front of her. And then she felt this light breeze on the back of her neck. She spun around, but there was nothing there. The touch of something moving on her arm had her spinning in the opposite direction, but again there was nothing.
    There was no fear in her, but when she inhaled deeply something rose in her body, something fierce and strong. It was something she’d never felt before. Her heart raced, her palms became sweaty, and her breasts felt heavy.
    God, what’s happening?
    She could have tried rationalizing what was happening, that it was her mind “playing tricks on her”. Or she could even say it could have been chemicals in the air, or pressure in the cavern. She could have thought of a dozen different scenarios that would make her feel like this, but she knew none of them were correct. How she knew she didn’t know, but she felt that certainty fill every space in her body.
    She followed Clint, but just as she entered the tunnel, her light muted in the inky blackness of the small confines, she tripped, her leg twisting, and she fell down hard. Her head cracked forward on the hard, icy ground, and her legs screamed out in pain. The darkness that surrounded her had nothing to do with the coffin-like surroundings, and had everything to do with the blow to her head.
     

Chapter Six
     
    Ruby didn’t know what woke her, but she found reality rushing back to her swiftly. Slowly opening her eyes, she was first greeted with a rock ceiling, ice crystals bouncing off the light, and casting prisms on the cavernous walls.
    Memories slammed into her, and she lifted slightly up and looked down at her leg. She’d fallen, had hurt herself badly. The pain had been serious, enough to have tears filling her eyes. But then she’d passed out.
    Where am I?
    She braced herself on her hands as she lifted her upper body off the ground. She was lying on something soft, and looked down to see it was thick blankets. A glance around the cavern she was in showed her someone clearly lived here. Her head pounded slightly from the movement, but that discomfort faded pretty quickly until it was just a dull ache.
    How bizarre.
    How could anyone live in this mountain, in these conditions?
    Aside from the pallet bed she was on, there were other “modern” things set up in the massive space. Propane tanks were next to a small stove that would be used for camping. Coolers were beside that, as well as two other pallet type beds. A basin big enough for a person to sit in was across from them. There was also a rack that held meat and fish.
    Where the hell am I?
    She tried to move, but the pain in her leg finally became known again, as if it didn’t want her to forget it was all screwed up. Gasping and reaching out to place her hand on the bandage that was wrapped around her leg, she gritted her teeth and looked at it. Someone had cut her pants and thermal gear, and although she realized she wasn’t wearing a coat, she didn’t feel the chill in the air.
    And then she heard the sound of someone approaching—no, not someone , but more than one person approaching. She snapped her head toward the only tunnel in this cavern, her heart seeming to still in her chest, her throat feeling like it was closing, and her mouth dry.
    Should she try to hide? She pushed that thought away as she knew she wouldn’t even be able to stand on her leg, let alone make a run for it. Ruby did look around for something to use as a weapon, but anything she could have used was on the other side of the cave, and she wouldn’t have time to grab it, even if she could have moved before whoever came got to where she was.
    So it seemed all Ruby could do was sit there with her heart in her throat.
    And then she saw them, three men, huge, partially naked aside from the leather pants they wore. Recognition slammed into her. She knew them
