12 | My Ring's In There
KICKY'S POV
Unknowingly, they sprinted into a different environment which happens to be the purple dimension. Hence, they turned purple as well.
"Sorry guys but couldn't hold it in anymore." Ajoke puked.
"Gross!"
Their eyes grew enormous when they saw the last person they expected. "Short Daniel!"
They ran to him and of course, Tall Daniel was first to engulf him in a hug.
"At least, Short Daniel has been found." Ese sighed.
I can't still believe that Ayo turned into a pumpkin, not a fine one for that matter. Well, thank God we're out of that green dimension and now in my favorite color dimension so hopefully things go well. But I still wished I hadn't come at all. Kicky thought.
The room was very spacious. They could see old furniture and clothes lying around and it smelled of forest. Weird but these teenagers have gotten too used to the weirdness. Well, they thought they were. They had yet to see the worst.
"So did any of you bring any eraser?" Of course, Short Daniel inquired, earning death glares and snorts from them. He chuckled something before he told them the thing he discovered before they arrived. Short Daniel led them to the wall behind a weak and old wardrobe. They were stunned to see a lever.
"It's an off-and-on lever!" Ese yelled.
"We know, we can see it." Irayo shrugged.
"Let's push it," Short Daniel suggested.
"What? Are you kidding me?" Kicky asked in annoyance. She continued with a louder voice, "Didn't you see what happened last time? Once beaten, twice shy,"
Irayo countered. "Umm, we didn't actually see what happened. Gbemi disappeared so...."
"Whatever!" Kicky rolled her eyes.
"Maybe, it's our way out," Zaizai said, staring at the lever.
"Or not. One of us may disappear again." Ajoke protested.
"Let's try though," Suzy said, feeling hopeful.
Ese shook his head. "NO!"
This could actually be their way out but if it wasn't, they weren't ready to face the consequence.
"A door will appear if we push it. If we stay here, another monster will attack us so we should escape now. I'm gonna push it." Short Daniel voiced and swiftly pushed the lever before they could stop him.
"NO!"
Kicky, Irayo, Ajoke, Ese, and Great cornered him and began to beat him.
The others were very happy and stunned to see a wooden door actually appear, "He's right! Leave him alone!" Tall Daniel exclaimed and they immediately stopped.
Short Daniel got up in haste and said with a smirk. "You see, I was right. You're welcome."
For the first time, ShortDaniel did something stupid that turned out to be in our favor. Kicky was shocked.
"Come on, let's go," a familiar voice said causing them to flinch. It was Colin's. They thought he was gone. Oh, no wonder Minah was silent.
"Christ! You're gonna give someone a heart attack," Divine hissed, rolling her eyes.
"Guy, you're still here?" Tall Daniel asked.
"I was never gone."
The universe must really be against them because two poles appeared at both sides of the door. Sand started pouring out of the poles as though the room would be swallowed by the sand.
"We're gonna die of sand. I never expected this," Irayo chuckled.
"Let's just get out of here!" Ajoke shouted. They ran towards the door except Short Daniel who was still standing.
"Guy!" Ese yelled.
"I want to turn off the lever so that the sand will stop," Short Daniel responded. He pushed it and the sand did indeed stop. Then, he started to run but huge hands appeared from the back and grabbed him. "Argh!" He screamed like a girl.
"Daniel, run!" They screeched as they watched him struggle.
Colin pushed out his chest, placed his muscled hands on his waist, and declared like a superhero. "I'll save him!"
With that, he flew to where Short Daniel was and they quickly opened the door and exited the room. But they didn't go further so that they could watch how Colin would save their friend. It was easy for Colin to rescue Short Daniel but then a zombie attacked him. Colin acted very fast though, he threw Short Daniel to the door.
"Argh!!! That hurts!" Short Daniel cried.
There was no way that Colin would escape from the Zombie.
"Colin!" Minah wailed. That's the only word she had said since.
Colin gazed up at her with assurance. "Love, save yourself. I'll come back to you, I promise."
As the door closed, Minah wept for her loss. Ajoke stared at her finger and noticed her ring was gone. "My ring's in there."
"Are you for real? Leave it and let's go," Great said, feeling annoyed.
"No, I can't." She refused and opened the door again. Fortunately, her silver ring was next to the pole of sand. They could still see Colin and the Zombie fighting. Ajoke swiftly bent down and picked up her ring. "Yay! I've got it."
"Come out quick," Zaizai waved her hand. But this time, her good luck had run out because another zombie appeared from the left pole and grabbed her before she could escape.
"Ahhhh!" She groaned.
"NO! Not Ajoke!" Her friends cried as they watched the scene before them.
Many of them thought it would be Short Daniel but nothing was predictable in Ibabi and they knew that fact now.
