"“Stay low,” he called to Claire as he took the book from her hands. She crawled under the beam and reached for Ethan's pages. He passed them to her, and he came under the beam. Then Quince and Dogg climbed through. They fought their way to the door around fallen beams and wooden pegs. The door frame was a wall of fire. “The fire is thin. Just run, fast, outside. Roll in the sand in case you catch fire on the way through.” Harris hollered to them. He took everyone's pages and stuffed them inside his shirt. “GO!” he yelled. Claire hesitated, but Ethan ran past her and out the door. Quince was right behind him. “Go now!” he called to Claire. As Claire went to run out the door a mist appeared behind her and yanked her back inside the house."
