"Where's Don? Gilda? Everyone else?!" Emma wondered in panic.

"This can't be real." (Y/n) said, her voice wavering.

"They disappeared?" Ray thought.

"Where did everyone go?"

"No. There's no way they could disappear. They're somewhere. Keep calm and think. Where could they..." Emma's thoughts were cut off when the ground under their feet began to shake.

"What?" Emma, (Y/n), Maiko and Ray said in unison.

At that moment the ground opened up and the five began to fall. Emma grabbed onto Chris while Ray held onto Thoma and Maiko grabbed (Y/n) who hugged the other girl tightly. They hit the ground with a thud and they groaned in pain. The unknown area they fell into was pitch black and it was impossible for them to see around them.

"What is this place? It's pitch black. What happened? The ground opened up?" Emma wondered.

Emma turned to the young boy she was still holding onto.

"Chris, are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah!" The boy replied.

Emma had her hands on Chris's arms as she let go of him and turned her head.

"Maiko! (Y/n)! Ray! Thoma! Where are you?! Are you okay?!" She called out.

"AAAGHHH! THERE'S BUGS!" Thoma's voice exclaimed.

"DID YOU HEAR THAT?! WE'RE FINE!" Ray shouted towards them.

"WE'RE OKAY TOO!" (Y/n) shouted.

"Thank goodness." Emma and Chris thought and sighed in relief.

Emma looked around. "My eyes are getting used to the dark." She thought.

Emma and Chris had met up with the other four.

"Is this...underground?" Chris asked.

"Yeah, probably." Maiko sighed.

"UGH, BUGS!" Thoma exclaimed as he fought off a small bug.

"Then maybe everyone else is down here too?" Emma asked, a hint of hopefulness in her voice.

"Let's look for them." (Y/n) said.

Chris then noticed a flashing of light in the distance and grabbed onto Emma.

"Look, Emma!" He said happily, pointing at the light.

"EMMA!" Gilda's voice called out.

"GILDA?!" Emma exclaimed in shock.

She then cupped her hands over her mouth.

"GILDA!" She shouted.

"It's Emma! EMMA!"

The group of six ran towards the light and regrouped with the others. The area they were in was covered in vines of some sort. Some small bugs were flying around and there were some unknown plants around as well. Emma kneeled down and hugged some of the younger kids.
