As the girls fell into the dark hole, they landed on something...soft. And a bit viny. Nesta tried to move around but it seemed like the vines weren't letting her. As a matter of fact, the vines were pulling her towards them. Nesta struggled to get out, but it only made it worse.

"Nesta! Emerie!" Nesta looked to her left at the familiar voice of Gwyneth Bedara. "Gwyn! I'm over here!"

"I can't get out! I'm stuck!" Nesta may be unable to see her friend, but she can hear the panic in her voice. "What's going on?"

"Guys! Don't move! We're in a pit of Devil's Snare." This time, a new voice came from Nesta's right. She recognized it to be Emerie. "You have to relax. Or else it'll kill you faster."

"KILL US FASTER!!" Gwyn shouted.

"Yes! Now relax!" Emerie repeated but this time, the voice was below the girls. "Emerie! Where are you?!" Nesta called out. "Down here! Just relax!"

"What!?"

"Trust me!" Nesta did trust her.

Talking a nice and slow breath, Nesta closed her eyes as the vines released her. She fell again with a thud.

"Nesta! Are you alright!?" Nesta looked up and sighed in relief, grateful that she was able to locate her friend. "Yeah, I'm okay."

"HELP!! SOMEONE HELP!!" Gwyn cried, her friends wincing at her screams of terror. "She's not relaxing. What do we do?"

Emerie hesitated. She knew everything about everything. She excelled as one of the best first-year students at Hogwarts. She had the bests grades, the best friends, and the best teachers (well, almost all the best teachers). She had it all. But she did not go over anything in her second year of Hogwarts. She wanted to go over it during the Summer, so she'd have something to do than go outside and play with other kids. But that meant that she didn't read a single book about Devil's Snare. Well, she did notice it while helping Azriel with his books to pack up for the year, and managed to see a page about how to defeat-

"GUYS!!!" Gwyn screamed again. They were running out of time.

"Come on, Em! Think! There has to be a way to defeat Devil's Snare." Nesta pleaded, wishing she knew what to do. "Is there a potion, a spell, a rhyme-"

"A rhyme! That's it!" Emerie began to beam with joy as she recited the rhyme:

"Devil's Snare

Devil's Snare

It's Deadly Fun

But....Will Sulk in the Sun

Yes! That's it! Devil's Snare hates sunlight." Where are we gonna get-" Nesta didn't get to finish her sentence because Emerie had already brought out her wand: "Lumus Solem."

A huge ray of sunlight blasted through the pit of Devil's Snare forcing it to let go of Gwyn. Gwyn, like Nesta, fell straight through the pit, landing on top of Nesta.

"Ouch!" They both said together as Emerie helped them up. "You guys, okay?" Nesta and Gwyn nodded. "Yeah, thanks to you."

"Without you I'd be dead." Gwyn added as she shivered at the thought.

Emerie blushed a bit, enjoying the gratitude given by her peers.

Nesta was about to add something else when the three girls heard fluttering sounds. "What's that?" Gwyn asked as Nesta listened carefully. "I don't know. It sounds like...wings."
