[1] I was well to the point of no return, and with my head hung low, I cared not about anyone or anything anymore, which included myself.

[2] Turning a corner, I then heard male voices conversing up ahead, and with it being the first time I encountered other human beings out in these hellish hallways, my custom to find out the truth in a matter got the better of me. I found myself in a state of shock and disbelief, which turned into contempt by the time it took me to take my very next step, because who should I find fraternizing with the enemy. None other than Jared Hargrove!

[3] I was then led into another ghastly room just like the one before it, and then the brute then ordered me to sit, which I of course did with the thinking a confrontation was just not worth the effort with a reprobate pawn, as it is written in Romans 1:28, “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.”
As a twist of fate would have it, when the brute left me alone by making an immediate exit. I gave it only a minimal amount of attention when the door didn’t click shut on his way out.

[4] The door shut as I heard him making his grand entrance, and taking what I considered now his usual stance right in front of me, I began to brace myself for the worse.
But instead of hearing Strobeck’s nauseating voice, I heard an old familiar voice calling out my name with a sincere concern. With his sincerity warranting my attention, I looked up and beheld a distraught Jared standing before me. Upon seeing my tears, his facial expression of thoughtfulness deemed only to reinforce the manner in which he then spoke.

[5] “Lily, I can help you. I can get you out of here. But you must come with me right now. Please, Lily, it’s the only way, and we must act immediately.”
He concluded by extending his hand and waited desperately for a positive response. I at the moment could only think of the promise I made to Caleb to leave if ever I would be given the chance. So only to keep my promise to Caleb, I stood up on my feet. But refusing Jared’s hand. I was ready to go with him.

Author’s Commentary
[1] One might ask how is it the courageous heroine Lily had ever encountered the perniciousness character of the ‘WOLF.’ Well, the fact of the matter, plenty. But first, and before I delve into the finer point of this analogy. Let us take a moment to learn the nature of the ‘WOLF.”
Wolves: Hunt in Packs, Encompass their Victim, then Attack with Lethal Aggression.
Wolves: Illustrate Hostility without provocation, and its bite has the Force to Crush 4 Hundred Pounds of its Quarry.

Author’s Commentary
[2] Now why pray tell such a formidable adversary, such as ‘Belial,’ fears a sweet Damsel such as Lily, whom has lived a sheltered home life protected under the roof of loving parents. For sure this is a ridiculous prospect to be afraid of such an antiquated Soul.
Lily encounters Jared Hargrove at a time when help is most needed. Jared does not wield a sword of cruelty, but an out stretched hand of tender regards. Lily at the moment is bombarded with a host of cautionary danger signs since witnessing Jared amongst the wolves, and yet only to keep her word to Caleb, she complies to Jared’s seemingly kind gesture, which is quite contrary to her first inclination to tell Jared to BUZZ OFF! But with Caleb’s supplication in mind and heart, Lily hopes there is no mischief in this formality.

Come To The Rescue
All Is Lost
Author’s Commentary
[3] Contemplating what has brought her to such devastation and ruin. Lily concludes it is for her intellect of piety, ‘Belial,’ or that ‘Old Serpent,’ must crush under foot the purest of SOULS as it is written in John 1:5, And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
A young woman’s sincere belief in the Bible’s Goodly Statutes. Surely such blameless activity should not warrant such hostile hostility.
Yet, at present, fallen victim to a diabolical ‘Ancient Foe’ and its drudges comparable to the ‘Wolf,’ ready to strike without provocation. Leaving Lily living in a constant state of panic vulnerable to the whim of evil’s wicked pleasure.
Lily experiencing in her desperate of hours, with prayer as her most precious possession. Her answered prayer comes from the most unlikely of sources to rescue her and, with her consent she proceeds. But superseding all other emotions at present . Lily only feels alive in her GRIEF!
