Holly's POV

Lucy's gone. I shake myself out of my trance and sprint down the stairs taking them 3 at a time. There's a shriek from behind me. I go to turn back but then Lucy's words echo in my head: "Keep running and don't look back no matter what"

Okay Lucy.

I keep going, now taking the stairs 4 at a time. I round the corner and see the foyer in complete ruins. But now everything is still. Lockwood and George are collapsed on the ground and the Fitte's team is leaning up against a wall.

"Lockwood!!!" I call tumbling down the steps.

"Holly!" He cries running forward. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"No but I think Lucy might be!! She was drawing the Visitor's attention so I could escape." My eyes well up. "Lockwood she said to give you this." I hold out the necklace. Lockwood takes it.

"Lucy..." He whispers. He clenches his bony fist around the necklace.

I step across the iron chains. There's a crash from the floor above us and Lucy sprints into view. There's a gash across her cheek and she's limping slightly on her left leg. She ducks as a chair goes hurling towards her head. I turn to Lockwood. His eyes melt with relief.

"Lucy!" He calls.

"Lockwood stay there! Holly make sure he doesn't leave the circle!!!"

I nod.Lockwood goes to run forward but I grab the sleeve of his coat at the last second.Lucy's getting close. 40ft, 35ft, 30ft. At about 25ft I scream "Lucy duck!!!" But I wasn't quick enough. The heavy desk slams into the back of her head. George goes to run forward and it takes all of my  strength to retain them both. Lucy hits the ground, and I can't do anything to help.
