Chapter 21: Falling Down
Sapphire's Pov:
When we first started, I thought the creator's place would be a little less confusing. The map says we're here but we're at the edge of a cliff. Asahi didn't drag us in a suicide mission if I remember clearly. "This is...no way. This can't be, give me the map!" Daichi exclaimed and snatched the map away from me.
"I don't understand, it's the edge of a cliff. A dead end!" He said as he looked over the map. "Does that mean all of this was for nothing?" Lily asked a bit scared. "Um...Well, I don't know by the now. Maybe this wasn't a good idea after all." Asahi responded, rubbing her forehead. "Don't say that! We'll figure this out!" I exclaimed and compared both the place and map. Everything seemed so different that it doesn't make sense.
"What are we gonna do. By this rate, our parents might as well search the forest." Jeremy said crossing his arms. "I just remembered that my parents have a map which shows the person where the holder of this map is." I said shyly as I blushed from forgetting something so important. Gosh, I'm embarrassed and they might be mad. We heard something make a crack and we all flinched from it.
"W-What was that?!" Lily yelled out, clearly getting more frightened. We heard a crack yet again and felt the ground lower a bit. "Um, guys...I don't think we should stand here." Asahi said looking at the back of her. We looked in the direction of her stare and started to panic. The ground that we were on was starting to fall apart. We rushed back to the stable ground and then ground moving more furiously.
They all made it and I jumped as the ground fell. I tried grabbing onto something until Asahi grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "That was close.." Jeremy said as he stood up. I saw Lily tightly hug Daichi since she was young so guessing she got traumatized easily. "Heh...y-yeah" Lily stuttered a bit in fear. "We should head ba-WOAH!" I was cut off by the ground falling apart immediately.
Falling down with us as well. "AAAAAAHH!" All of us screamed in unison. Was this really it? I opened my eyes to see if I try to look for something so we could stop falling. I saw Lily cling onto Daichi while Jeremy hugged Asahi for some form of protection. I closed my eyes and felt someone grab my hair. "Ow! Huh? What-..." I felt myself get hit by something.
I tried to keep my eyes open but they closed. Did I just...die?
