six ─ teddy's tragedy

The quartet made their way inside that secret room as they surrounded one of the boxes. Steve opened the box to see another box, which didn't look like something friendly. He opened the box, to see yet another box which had four knobs or if that's what it is exactly to be called as.

As curious as Teddy was, she slowly put her hand forward to open the Knob only to get stopped by Steve with a bewildered look.

"What are you doing?" He asked in disbelief.

"Opening it,"

"Nope, you're not doing that. Stay away from this," he said, protectively as Teddy rolled her eyes.

"Oh, come on! Lemme try it this time,"

"This is not a play stuff, Teddy," he said, with his gaze fixed on her face.

"No---"

"Teddy, could you please come and stand beside me? We're practically wasting the time by watching you both hopelessly flirting with eachother, " Steve and Teddy's cheeks went red immediately as she stepped back, tucking a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear as she avoided his gaze.

"Probably you guys should step back," Robin held Teddy's hand as she she pulled her back, along with Erica.

And, when Steve was about to open it, Dustin interrupted him by holding the elder one's hand.

"Step back,"

"No,"

"Seriously,  step back,"

"No! If you die, I die!" Dustin said sternly as Steve blinked his eyes and there was an awkward silence. And, that was when she realized that Steve has got yet another friend, whom he could call back at any moment, just like how she was when they were best friends.

"Okay," Steve said as he slowly turned the handle and took out a glass filled with some green liquid, which made Teddy frown.

"What is that?" She muttered, without moving her gaze from that green liquid.

"What the heck is this?" Steve mumbled, analysing it around. Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound, as if the room was moving.

"Was it just me? Or did the room move?" Dustin spoke.

"I felt that too," she agreed with him as she felt her heart beat raising slowly.

"You know what? Let's just grab this and move, " Robin said as Dustin went towards the the door and started pressing random buttons.

"Which one do I press, Erica?" He asked.

"Press 'open door'!"

"I am pressing 'open door'!" He exclaimed, aggressively pressing the buttons in fear. Steve, Dustin, Robin and Erica started arguing to themselves as Teddy watched them anxiously. She felt something wasn't wrong out of nowhere, the doors started shutting down as Teddy cursed underneath her breathe and pushed Steve and Dustin aside. She pressed the 'open door' button again and again, but nothing happened.

"Shit, shit," she muttered as she felt her hands shivering.

Suddenly,  the room started moving downwards as Teddy lost her balance and was about to fall down, but, Steve held her waist. Unfortunately, he lost his balance as he fell right across the room with without losing Teddy as his back was pressed against the wall and Teddy's back was pressed against his chest.
