The wind ran through their hair making it wave wildly as they fell down the drop.
The colors blurred together creating blobs of brown and green as the concept of shapes flew out the window.
A few screams could be heard escaping the throats of a few students while others were too surprised and shocked to make a noise.
Some held onto the person closet to them, if anyone was there, in fright. Others had nothing and no choice but to let the air and wind move and push their bodies aganist their will.
Seconds passed but it felt like an eternity to the ten students, never knowing when they will hit the unforgiving floor with a splat.317Please respect copyright.PENANA750hlLwh6r
Scarlett closed her eyes in fear, unsure what to expect. She was the first to fall and will be the first to reach the bottom.317Please respect copyright.PENANAWPZDZG56Xv
Scarlett's eyes opened in surprise when a loud splash attacked her ears as the icy water roughly pulled her down.317Please respect copyright.PENANApSEjpSGHEO
One splash.317Please respect copyright.PENANAfQSvBD3F7f
Another splash. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAhC9W53zmIP
A pause. 317Please respect copyright.PENANA5zxeNXLuAb
There goes another splash. 317Please respect copyright.PENANA2sCWBsqPru
As realization hit them as hard as they fell into a lake, they came to their senses and roughly swam to surface in a hurry. 317Please respect copyright.PENANA9YANiOGbMM
Heads popped up from underneath, breaking the once smooth appearance of the lake's surface. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAUa1Jp8es9B
They looked around at each other as different emotions filled their eyes. The ones that have already fallen looked up to see their peers tumbling down them.317Please respect copyright.PENANASO7I5dVmKo
In frenzy, they swam away so they wouldn't be a landing pad for the others. Someone decided to swim to the shore, setting the example for everyone doing their best to stay afloat.317Please respect copyright.PENANAnzTFGjGh08
One by one, they reached the shore and let themselves rest and remember to breath until eventually, all ten were safely on stable ground.317Please respect copyright.PENANAzsgvZpCBVi
Scarlett let out a long breath as she held a hand over rapidly pacing heart. She was sure she would died from the fall.317Please respect copyright.PENANA2D02p71D5X
She slowly looked at everyone before she looked down to see herself soaking wet along with everyone else. Her hair clung to her face and neck as her clothing lighten in color as it stuck to her body. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAB5e9COWgdr
Aiden looked around at their surroundings to where exactly they landed.317Please respect copyright.PENANAmplxz0hSG0
They were in a small clearing that surrounded three sides of the lake. A few flowers were scattered about while grass grew everywhere. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAgL3U0fk50A
On the fourth side of the lake a monstrous wall of rock and dirt with a small edge curved over, breaking the straight vertical appearance. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAkVWRofpIME
Beyond the grass clearing stood an army of never ending trees of different heights in all the remaining three directions. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAgvs3UuIreq
Random bushes were scattered throughout the forest floor along with the peeking roots of selected trees. A few leaves, all different shades of green, occasionally littered the ground covering patches of grass like a blanket. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAFZzny0Ka47
The sky was clear blue with a burning sun hidden somewhere by the outstretched branches.317Please respect copyright.PENANA6qwvhqA9LD
Don had looked around for his brother and found him. He let out a sigh of relief and looked around at the forest.317Please respect copyright.PENANAkRacQTfj9U
Destiny clasped onto the ground. "How did we make that?! How was that closet magic?!"317Please respect copyright.PENANALFMoQErZRC
Scarlett looked over at Daniel as she tried wringing the water out of her hair. "Not like Narnia, huh?," she joked.317Please respect copyright.PENANAOgdYymdBXP
Daniel rolled his eyes, " I think I'm dreaming. I must be and somehow you're all here. That's the only explanation."317Please respect copyright.PENANA5GJBYNHd9J
Madison rolled her eyes as she worryingly checked her music player. Aiden rubbed the back of his neck as he asked, "But we've never met before so how could you dream of us?"317Please respect copyright.PENANASv1uC98RnU
"Well...Fine you got me, but what is this place? I'm so confused." Daniel said.317Please respect copyright.PENANATSVdyjWl96
"I don't know but it's giving me the creeps," Crystal said looking around. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAAmawsMipUn
Destiny had rung her hair out and stood up. "Well I don't know about you but I'm tired of being wet. It's kinda cold."317Please respect copyright.PENANAJKpqfTJOut
Ava's eyes widened as she looked around in fear when Scarlett said, "This reminds me of all those horror movies in forests where everyone dies." 317Please respect copyright.PENANANsg8LFqq1f
Aiden frowned as he cautiously looked around with a newfound paranoia. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAByXrrxKrKL
Madison let out a small sigh as she removed her headphones from around her neck, "That makes us all feel safe, thanks."317Please respect copyright.PENANA15IUGiv3PU
"Yeah, I feel a lot better. We are all going to die because we walked into a school closet. That will be interesting on our graves," Crystal sighed as she looked at the ground. 317Please respect copyright.PENANACF3F7NyjB0
Riley gave a small shake of her head as she tried to comfort Ava. "That was stupid," Riley muttered under her breath.317Please respect copyright.PENANATiZ7mrU9sL
Aiden froze for a second as realization washed over him. He looked back at everyone and with wide eyes, he asked, "Anyone going to find us here?"317Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ4hAxD6yu
Madison placed her music player on the ground as she removed her soggy backpack from her back. "I doubt they'll look in a closet for ten kids," she said while looking down at the ground.317Please respect copyright.PENANASeGM8KmUxP
"Yeah..." Marley said as he looked at his hands. They were covered in dirt so he brushed them together which took some off.317Please respect copyright.PENANAGTa72z7wcK
Daniel squinted his eyes, "Does anyone feel a strange feeling?"317Please respect copyright.PENANANL4Yfc7vzS
Madison looked up fro a brief second and said, "Probably from falling down multiple feet into a lake."317Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4WLx269Jm
"No...It's something else. I don't know what it is," Daniel said.317Please respect copyright.PENANAUXqV8o7ohK
Scarlett shrugged as she looked up towards the top of the cliff. "Shouldn't we make getting back our priority and worry about the later? We need to find a way back," she said and she looked up at the cliff.317Please respect copyright.PENANAyy6H8fNBj9
"And how do we do that?" Don asked as he looked around.317Please respect copyright.PENANAe2i7hSFOdl
"Well..." Crystal thought for a moment. She opened her mouth but closed it. 'Bad idea,' she thought to herself.317Please respect copyright.PENANAOlWwKJpY5t
Ava hesitantly looked up towards the cliff and softly said, "I-It's too h-high for a l-ladder."317Please respect copyright.PENANAjO71rcf9lN
Scarlett looked back down at the small group. "Anyone have any ideas?," she asked.317Please respect copyright.PENANAcXkenDcWXF
Destiny shook her head, "No. We're going to be trapped in a world we don't know..."317Please respect copyright.PENANAOABlYq8pDZ
"It's perfectly fine..." Daniel said with a worried smile. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAVXj4IBaJkm
Riley let out a small huff as she asked with a slight edge to her voice, "So you're perfectly fine losing your family and friends. Having no food, home, or clothing besides the ones you have on?"317Please respect copyright.PENANAwsfQLRrUrl
Ava tugged on Riley's sleeve as tears pooled in the corner of her eyes. "Are we stuck here forever?," she asked as she looked up at Riley with a saddened look.317Please respect copyright.PENANAhdfMyLyLhx
Riley softened as she softly patted Ava's head, "I'll get you out of here. Don't worry."317Please respect copyright.PENANAFDxl3sBpCu
Ava held up her pinky finger, "Promise?"317Please respect copyright.PENANAq0K63D233q
Riley stayed silent for a second before she clasped her own pinky with Ava's. "I promise," she said with a small smile.317Please respect copyright.PENANAB7q1NYQ476
Daniel, on the other hand, glared at Riley and opened his mouth. Destiny stomped on his foot. "Whatever you say, make it nice!" Destiny whispered as Daniel grabbed his foot. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAFMDJMncFTM
Don smirked and said, "Well, I guess we better get to know each other. I mean we'll be working together so..."317Please respect copyright.PENANA0e0chpDHiT
Crystal shrugged and looked around. She looked for a place to sit besides the ground. 317Please respect copyright.PENANA4unMcb4V5J
She looked at her clothes. She then remembered her backpack wasn't on her back.317Please respect copyright.PENANAFOAOshrDko
Her eyes widen and she dove back into the lake.317Please respect copyright.PENANAo0XrU3FGFT
Marley flinched at the splash and looked to see what happened.317Please respect copyright.PENANASRqoQfcLdS
"What is she doing?!" Destiny said as she looked at the lake. She saw bubbles and couldn't help but to see what was going on. She walked to the edge and dove in.317Please respect copyright.PENANA8jvU8pwFTC
Scarlett frowned as she peered into the water to try and find the two girls. "I don't think they're going for a swim," she said as she started counting on how long they spent underwater.317Please respect copyright.PENANASYvLt8wM6n
Madison took her hoodie off so it would dry and threw it into the ground next to her. She pulled her backpack closer to her and started to look through her stuff in worry. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAxwGZ6WJy10
Crystal's ears had started to hurt from the pressure of the water She could only see green fuzz but knew her backpack was there somewhere. Then, she saw a blue fuzz and reached her hand out. She grabbed whatever it was and swam up. 317Please respect copyright.PENANA2LS13ynXFX
Destiny couldn't see anything since her eyes were closed.317Please respect copyright.PENANAzbRvpFNUmL
Scarlett grimaced when her counting continued. She wasn't sure on how long they were able to hold their breath.317Please respect copyright.PENANAZCmM8OHiiT
Thinking the worse, she jumped in and opened her eyes in search of the two.317Please respect copyright.PENANAj9jknT9ZdB
The water was slightly murky from the dirt being moved and pushed around from the sudden movement of the students. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAQWTbm0iaU4
Scarlett swam faster until she spotted Destiny. She closed her eyes for a second since they started to sting but continued on, nonetheless.317Please respect copyright.PENANA6dYIvZbPwF
Scarlett let go of her breath as she grabbed onto Destiny's shirt and arm.317Please respect copyright.PENANApb6gfnZs7d
She quickly swam the rest of the way and let in a loud suck of air when her head broke through the surface.317Please respect copyright.PENANAF7J5220mhu
Destiny popped up from the water and gasped for air. Crystal had just come up after and tossed her backpack onto the land.317Please respect copyright.PENANAQKTKQBmkoM
Scarlett swam into land and let herself fall to the ground as tiredness overtook her.317Please respect copyright.PENANALLBQTSAvRA
Madison pulled out her, now soggy, binder and tossed it down next to her. A torn paper brown bag landed next to the binder with a slush. A few pencils landed on top of the paper bag and mercilessly rolled off.317Please respect copyright.PENANAiM4GlNX0dk
Madison quietly prayed in her mind while she pulled out a smooth black case from deep within her backpack that still held other contents.317Please respect copyright.PENANA9D69WUgmp5
Madison pushed her pack off and cautiously opened the case. She let out a small sigh of relief with the contents inside were still dry. 317Please respect copyright.PENANACh595UcKxx
Destiny quickly swam to the land and sighed. "I'm soaked now!" She crawled onto the ground and wanted to lie down, but didn't want to get dirt all over her. She stood up and closed her eyes. She felt warmness all of the sudden and heard someone yell.317Please respect copyright.PENANAC5uxSflp1p
Her eyes snapped open and looked for the source of the yell.317Please respect copyright.PENANANvUVrp9syD
Daniel yelled as he saw half of Destiny on fire. He quickly ran to her and pushed her back into the lake.317Please respect copyright.PENANA1AIpDMM71f
Destiny screamed as she felt herself fall back. Her whole body went underwater and she quickly snapped back up. She coughed and she yelled, "What did you do that for!?" She moved her hair from her face and glared at Daniel.317Please respect copyright.PENANAshSTU7zyVF
Madison frowned as she shook her head in disbelief. "That shouldn't be possible," she said as she tried to figure out how part of Destiny suddenly burst into flames.317Please respect copyright.PENANAZPgVF2NWcq
Riley cautiously pulled Ava further away from where Destiny was. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAnFCT51OZph
Destiny got up and said, "What wasn't possible?"317Please respect copyright.PENANAMlpbklvn29
Crystal's mouth was wide open. "I wasn't the only one that saw that?!"317Please respect copyright.PENANA1d0oPImO3P
"Saw what?!" Destiny yelled in frustration. "What's going on?!"317Please respect copyright.PENANANh10hRv9rz
Marley had backed away some. He looked at the forest and debated on if he should run or not. 'Run!' A voice said in his mind.317Please respect copyright.PENANAkHMWrTy4qF
"No! I can't leave them!" Marley said aloud.317Please respect copyright.PENANABYTlJiz6XJ
'Yes you can! Just run!'317Please respect copyright.PENANAW3fOYivAoO
"No!" Marley held his head and yelled through gritted teeth. "Go away Matt!" Marley yelled.317Please respect copyright.PENANA5xFjcCWmZg
Riley looked over at Marley with a blank face and then proceeded to pull Ava further away until she was a good distance away from everyone.317Please respect copyright.PENANAYDTD5Hl9nj
As that was happening, Ava had an innocent look of confusion visible on her face.317Please respect copyright.PENANAOIbvNgx8j0
Aiden let out an 'um' as he looked over at Ava and Riley and then at Destiny and Marley. "Is it just me or is everything freaking me out, now?"317Please respect copyright.PENANADbRhUG03xD
Madison pointed to Destiny. "You burst into flames yet there's no sigh of being burned which isn't possible!," she said as she lightly tugged on her short hair.317Please respect copyright.PENANAFzc2KEzjZy
Scarlett look over at Marley and carefully asked, "Who's Matt?"317Please respect copyright.PENANAcPNuu37y4I
"None of your business!" He snapped. "Stop Matt!" Marley said with a voice that sounded scared.317Please respect copyright.PENANAu4B5qM27br
"No! She's asking about business that isn't hers!," A scarier voice snapped.317Please respect copyright.PENANASpS8GYgHN5
"Matt stop!" Marley had yelled back and fourth in two different voice levels.317Please respect copyright.PENANArTSaXJCtYs
Scarlett looked around fro a second before she looked back at Marley. "If we're going to work together, I'm pretty sure it became my business to know...," she trailed off.317Please respect copyright.PENANA50KzdH4YKN
"Flames?! What are you talking about?!" Destiny said as she rung her hair once more.317Please respect copyright.PENANAebMQzciFXW
Madison put the black case down and stood up. "Exactly! It shouldn't be possible!"317Please respect copyright.PENANALG6QMfNuue
She walked over towards Destiny and walked around her making it seem like she was analyzing her. "Can you do it again?,: she asked.317Please respect copyright.PENANAw7J2yRJPGr
"Do what?! Stop! This isn't funny." She said with a serious look on her face.317Please respect copyright.PENANAQIpEcdnnuX
Daniel had started to get a headache from all the confusion.317Please respect copyright.PENANAJgTqWa9r1n
Crystal looked at Destiny, "I don't know what just happened but it was weird!"317Please respect copyright.PENANAzhadYAvv01
Crystal looked around and found an old fallen tree. She walked over to it and sat down. She took her sweater off and hung it up. She looked at her peach colored tank top and sighed. "Ugh!"317Please respect copyright.PENANAINzdwffgu6
She got up and walked to her wet, blue backpack. She took it back to the tree and opened it. She went through it to see if there was anything that wasn't wet but found no luck.317Please respect copyright.PENANAmvBi0ASumD
She pulled out her lunch bag which contained two bags of chips, an apple, a fudge brownie and a water bottle. "This is all the food I have."317Please respect copyright.PENANAcZesitxue9
Marley looked up at Scarlett, "Please don't, h-he's not very polite." He said in a scared voice.317Please respect copyright.PENANAF54NDwS1KF
Scarlett gave a soft smile. "Riley's not polite but we still deal with her," she said before she quickly screamed to Riley, who was a number of feet away, "No offense."317Please respect copyright.PENANAd2r6XLqG4f
Riley gave a wave of her hand before she quickly flipped Scarlett off.317Please respect copyright.PENANAgHg8DOdZv4
"See?," Scarlett said with a small laugh.317Please respect copyright.PENANAunfI1ElyRe
"No, no, you don't get it! He's killed before! He hurts me!" Marley said gripping his hair.317Please respect copyright.PENANA3kgrWnjZQ2
Madison poked Destiny's arm as she asked, "So you didn't realize that you combusted into flames?"317Please respect copyright.PENANAKTjo5IhBBF
"I don't know! I don't even know what you're talking about! Just...," Destiny sighed as she walked to Crystal.317Please respect copyright.PENANAMnlsDYYGPn
Aiden blinked as he rubbed the back of his head in reassurance. "Let's talk about this later and find some shelter," Aiden said as he pointed to the sky. "It's going to get dark soon. We should make a campfire, at least."317Please respect copyright.PENANAoCgl2AoPxh
Destiny sighed. "I don't want to be here!," she said to Crystal. Destiny then looked at some twigs on the ground. She thought for a moment. Then, the twigs burst into flames. Destiny let out a scream as she stood up and fell back. 317Please respect copyright.PENANAOR6yJP4ZtW
Madison walked to the twigs. "That's what I meant," Madison said with a small huff. "It shouldn't be possible for it to suddenly combust like that."317Please respect copyright.PENANApeGVye9DoM
"I don't want to be here!" Destiny wailed as she got back up.317Please respect copyright.PENANA9Zhi7MeG0V
Aiden closed his eyes and yelled out, "Everyone just shut up and freeze!" He rubbed his temples as he spoke in slight annoyance, "None of us know what's going on here. We need to calm down and talk this out with each other normally."317Please respect copyright.PENANACpyYgt8g60
Scarlett turned to look at Aiden and gave a small nod. "He's right," she said before she looked over at Marley and apologized. "I'm sorry fro constantly asking. You can tell or anyone when you're ready."317Please respect copyright.PENANASMn1Xa7oOd
Marley still had his hands grabbing his hair and curled up next to a tree, rocking back and forth. This caused Scarlett to stand off to the side, unsure of what to do.317Please respect copyright.PENANAzobeSXeVky
