Like a stampede of elephants, the three boys stormed down the last few steps, their shoes hitting the ragged stone with every eager step they took.
They skidded to a halt once at the bottom, their dilated eyes flicking towards one another. There was a pause as they stopped to take a quick breath.
"This is terrifying" George admits, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Now that you mention it- yeah it is," Nick nodded along to what George had said, "what happens if we fail?"
"Then I'm no longer a guard and then I live my life as a lonely and depressed jobless person," Clay answered with a straight face, then a pout occupied his face, "and I lose my uniform"
"Vouch" Nick muttered with raised eyebrows.
"Shame that" George shrugged his shoulders, rolling his eyes in the process.
Clay scoffed then sighed, "Let's just go...don't wanna get caught do we?"
Nick muttered something inaudible under his breath- no doubt a snarky, sassy remark but he kept his mouth shut once Clay told him to zip it.
The tallest of the group led the other two towards the portal room, finally arriving after multiple twists and turns. They faced the huge metal door, the portal no doubt concealed within.
Clay seemed to be the only one unfazed by it, "It's even bigger than I remember" He admitted, his face dropping once he realized what he had said.
Grins were plastered on both Nick and Georges face as if on cue, both speaking in unison, "That's what she said!"
Clay sighed heavily and twisted the heavy handle, "Well don't just stand there, help me! It weighs a ton!"
Nick and George bustled forward, shoving the huge door with the limited amount of strength in their body. With a groan, the door opened up to show an empty circular room; the only thing stood before them was the portal itself.
Purple light emitted from the mysterious, eye-catching structure. Black and white particles emerging slowly from the purple swirls.
"Er, so who's first?" George questioned, glancing at the other two as he spoke.
"Dibs not it!" Both Clay and Nick spoke, placing their index fingers on the tip of their noses like children would.
George opened his mouth to protest but was interrupted by shouting overhead. Their eyes were as wide as marbles, not expecting the sudden commotion.
"Shit.." Clay muttered the curse under his breath.
"We're gonna die! I'm too young to die!" Nick began to panic, waving his arms about in a fuss.
"We're not gonna die you dimwit!" George stated with a sneer.
Nick huffed like a child, taking heavy strides over to the Brit who was oblivious to what was about to happen. George was stood beside the portal, and Nick took this opportunity to shove George through.
George tripped, falling backwards into the mysterious swirls; his body falling into the depth of swirls and colors. A warping sound emitted from the portal, Georges body swirling and mixing within it until....he was gone.
Clay looked at Nick in shock, draw dropped in disbelief.
Nick shrugged, "He was asking for it."
Before the dirty blonde male could answer, the steps from above became heavier; signifying whoever was making those steps were coming closer towards the room they were in.
"Go!" He hissed, ushering Nick with his gloved hands.
Nick swivelled round quickly, turning so his back was facing the glowing portal. He grinned as he held up his fingers..mimicking a gun and shooting towards his friend.
"Pew Pew."
And he was gone, swallowed by the purple aura, leaving only black and white specks behind.
Authors Note!
Sorry for the short chapter, I wanted to keep this short and simple, nothing too dramatic..so I apologise for that. Again, my writing isn't the best but I'm trying here. I intend to make future chapters more longer and descriptive with more content- so I'm hoping for about 1500 words per chapter minimum. I do have many plans for future chapters so hopefully I'll have enough motivation to write those to a good standard:)
Thanks for reading, I love you<3
