To Be With {a Keeper of the Lost Cities Fantiction} [DISCONTINUED 2016]

Chapter 5: Sophie

We fell and we fell. The wind whipped my blond hair around my face and screamed in my ear. I closed my eyes as Fitz grabbed my arm and tugged me closer to him. The dark swallows us whole. Suddenly, we crashed against some ropes and it snapped. We crashed into the ground, tangled. A rope bit into my arm and I groaned.

I tried getting up, but the ropes held me down. And a grunt. That's when I notices that I was lying onto of Fitz. My face heated up and I struggled to get off, but, like I said, the ropes held strong.

"Help?" I cried softly. Something shuffled. My eyes didn't adjust to the dark yet.

"Anyone?" Fitz asked. More shuffling. Suddenly, a strange mound of fur screeched.

"Iggy!" I laughed. "Can you bite this net open?" The mound of hot pink fur that's Iggy screeched again and quickly bit through the net. We dragged ourselves out warily.

"Why are you here anyway?" I brushed dirt of my clothes and Fitz did the same.

"Maybe Iggy was following us." Fitz shook his hair and glanced up at the hole we fell through. "No chance of going up, that's for sure!" I saw that we must of fell about 200 feet. The walls are smotth, so someone must of set this up.

"What's the dripping sound anyway?" I touched the wall and felt something slimy. "Ew..." I wiped my hand on the floor.

"I think there's a stream over there." I watched as Fitz pointed to out right. I saw the faint outline of a gurgling stream.

We walked over to the stream and found that it was actually a small waterfall with a large pool of water at the bottom. I dipped my hands in the pool. The water was cold and it stung some cuts I got from the ropes. I hissed and pulled my hands out.

Just then, I noticed something behind the water fall. I took off my cape and my shoes, and them on the ground, and jumped into the pool. Fitz rolled his eyes and did the same. The water came to my waist, but only to Fitz hips. Iggy defiantly ran away. Bad imp.

"T-this wat-water is fre-eezing!" He shivered beside me as we waded toward the waterfall. My teeth chattered but we swam along.

As we got closer to the waterfall, the soothing sound of it became louder. "We need to g-get behind that th-thing." I pointed a shaky finger to it.

"What?! That's s-stupid. We're going to be d-dripping with this water!" Fitz argued.

"J-just go!" I dragged him with me. The water felt like ten tons, pushed on my head and my body. We scrambled into a cave behind the waterfall. We were dripping wet and shivering.

"W-wait!" Fitz pulled out his imparter. He tried to hail someone but it either broke in the fall.or when we were in the pool. I tried the same and had the same results. "D-darn it!"

A light caught our eyes. We saw a door labeled: THE LIBRARY OF EVERYTHING.

A large crash split the air. Not even looking we knew what happened.

The tunnel we fell down had a trapdoor. And now it is closed.

There's nothing else to do but to explore the library.
