*gasp*

That thing grew faaaaaast! Her movements became quicker and she scrambled to the bottom of the crater. There'd been a lot of slips and slides ot the bottom, but she was there. And now.. to get that key. She ran. Tribbling, stumbling, and shaking until she got it and when she did, she fumbled for a moment, scratching her palm in the process as she pulled it hastily from the earth. Cursing slightly as the warm metal touched her cold skin, she smiled. A key. A key which unlocked something? Perhaps her exit?

She was too short to see the door at the other side of the crater, but she knew she had to go up the path. Perhaps there would be something that the key unlocked? Her exit? She gulped. The beanstalk was growing at a ferocious rate. And the rumbling was getting louder. SHe started to sprint, forcing uncooperative limbs to work.

Run, damnit, RUN!

She clawed at the sharp rocks, fumbling up the path and then she saw it. And in the same moment a HUGEEEEEEEEE shake made her fall. Landing palms out on the floor, she turned, wand in one hand to see the beanstalk unearth the ceiling. Light. Light streamed in. She was both relieved to see sunlight and worried about what the beanstalks interior renovation would do to cave. She got up. Steadied on the thin path, she lit her wand again and saw it.

A door.

To her freedom?

She sprinted. To it. Jammed the key in the huge padlock and prayed to anything that she was right. That this would be the end.

Did the key unlock the door?
