The Item

Killing the girl would be a horrible, unforgivable sin to nature. But yes...if you took the Item with you and keep an eye on it, it can't do any harm.

"Wake up, child," you whisper as you nudge her shoulders. "It is time to leave." No response comes from the blissfully sleeping girl. You push with a bit more force.

Stirring, the Item awakens. "Is it feeding time?" she moans. "It has been a day, you know." She looks at you. You gaze back, trying to read her face. It comes remarkably easy, as you watch her emotions play on her face. First she seems calm, maybe it is just a new guard coming to feed her. But slowly, looking at how you are dressed, she understands.

"Am I going to die?" she asks, breathing ragged.

"No, but you're going to leave the building. Come on, let us leave."

"But to where?

"Maybe to my home city of Gerard, maybe far away from civilization. I haven't figured that out yet. Now let's go."

She seems unwilling to move, so you drag her along the floor and leave the room. "Be quiet," you tell her as you walk down the hall, heading to the passage you found. Do you take the passage or leave via the hall?
