I tumbled out of the mirror to hear Jenai scream, "What is happening? Isabelle?" And hear Anita scream even louder, "No! No! This is not happening!" I ran over to them. Anita lay sprawled on the ground, hyperventilating deeply. Jenai was looking around. "Where are we?" She asked. "Well." I said, biting my lip. "You know what happened to Jeb and Alyssa in splintered?" I said. Jenai nodded. "Yeah." "Well," I said "that would be what happened here! We're in the Thames garden." Jenai and Anita gasped. "And I see the little statue, so, let's go!" I said. Jenai laughed. "This is so cool!" She said. She grabbed Anita and we walked casually to the statue. A tremor shot through my body. It. Was. Real. I plucked a feather out my backpack and inserted it into the little space. No luck. I pulled out another one. Still no turning. "Third times a charm." Jenai said. "Hopefully not." Said Anita. I put the feather into the notch, and turned it to 4:00 pm. The statue clicked and slid out of the way, revealing a small hole. THE HOLE! Jenai gasped. Anita screamed. I got down on my knees, pulled out a flashlight, and crawled. Jenai followed, and shoved Anita ahead. My hands suddenly slipped. My body lurched forward into the abyss. As I tumbled in, I heard Jenai and Anita scream as they fell. We all floated down, with nothing but each other.
