The Last Dimension

Chapter 5 - The Fall

We're falling.
I can't hear.
I'm crying.
The sky is a rich blue color, like one you would find in a comic book. Or a painting.
I can't hear what's happening but I can see that our mouths are open really widely so we're all probably screaming.
Then Anne is floating and grabs Fai's hand. Alex, Phil and I continue to plummet to ground. Or I guess it might be a body of water? Anyway it's coming to meet me really fast. I could try and flap my arms like I'm trying to fly but that won't work. I could use my illusion ability to slop my fall but I won't be able to make something that fast.

SPLASH!

I hit the water face first so now my whole face feels like it's on fire! On the plus side I  know how to swim so that's a relief! I pop my head out and watch as everyone comes down. Phil is a... parachute? And he's carrying Alex? Once they hit the water in front of me I see that his skin looks green and is covered in something that resembles a reptiles scales. His ears look like a reptiles too. His mouth is a little wider and has pointy teeth coming out. I don't think him and Alex notice I'm there because they start whispering about him shifting back to 'normal'. Also something about a tail. I'll ask them about it later. In the other hand, holy mierda* Anne can float! She floats down with Fai dangling from her arms.
Anne: Should I let go?
Fai:No P-Please! I can't swim! I'm--I'm sorry, Anne!
Anne: Don't worry, Fai.
Alex: Wait is it you? You can float?
Y/N: When did that happen Anne? That's so cool!
Anne: Oh, Y/N! Alex! You can swim!
Fai: Where's Susi?
Alex: Who? Frozen Toes? Ha! She got cold feet and stayed behind.
I pinch his ear. Susi was actually really nice! She was more mad at him when he saw her but that was because he was being a tarado**.
Fai let out a breath.
Fai: Now we only have to wait for her to call the teachers.
Anne: Fai?
Fai:Are you tired, Anne? My arms hurt a lot too, so maybe--
Anne: No. Do you see that?
The water had turned kind of dark and then a long, black tendril thing shot out of the water. It had three, suctioned prongs at the end of it. It just barely missed me and pushed me into Alex. Anne had to fly in another direction with Fai in order to not be hit.

*Mierda. This means shit. The way it was used was supposed to say, 'holy shit Anne can float!'
**Tarado. This means moron. The way it was used was supposed to say, 'because he was being a moron.'
