Still panting, Lola opened her eyes to see thick steam around her. Swearing under her breath, she realized she went overboard on this one. Oh, how she wished she could control steam. But she didn't hear the roar of a dragon, and she still wasn't dead as far as she knew. She would be OK for now. After all, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? Lola called out,<span style="font-weight: bold"> "Anyone there? Kadaj? Hideo? Amalliey?"</span>Kadaj was probably dead. Whoops. She really went overboard this time. If she made it back to the school, she would probably get an F on this assignment. If, of course, she made it back.<br/><br/>Lola could see it in her head right now.<span style="font-style: italic"> "Lola, since you failed to bring back Kadaj alive in your group, you are expelled." The head of the school would say, and Lola would be sent off.  Everyone would cheer as Lola was taken into a car. </span>
