Moments after they entered what seemed like an elevator, Raven noticed something.

"Ivy?"

"Yeah?"

"Was the room this small when we came in?" She asked, panic starting to lace her voice. Ivy looked around at her surroundings and realized that the room was, in fact, not this small when they entered.

Ivy started to panic, frantically looking at every inch of the elevator. She still saw nothing but a silver panel with three buttons which she had taken notice of upon entry.

Not knowing what to do, Ivy pressed the button in the middle. A green light outlined the rectangular shape from a bit inwards from the border. Then, the button on the top lit up.

Furrowing her eyebrows, she pressed it.

The one she pressed lit up, then the bottom one.

A memory game.

She pressed top then middle.

Top, middle, middle.

She repeated.

Top, middle, middle, bottom.

She pressed those.

Top, middle, middle, bottom, bottom.

She repeated.

Top, middle, middle, bottom, bottom, top.

She repeated the pattern, almost forgetting one, but remembering at the last second, just barely stopping herself from pressing the wrong button.

Then the floor in the corner of the elevator popped open a bit in one square. Raven rushed over and lifted it, looking down at a room. "Come on!" Raven rushed. Ivy hurried over, gesturing for Raven to go first. She did, and when the younger girl was through it, Ivy slipped through the hatch just as the doors were about to turn her into a human pancake.

"Shit!" Raven shouted when she landed. "Where the fuck are we now?" She cursed, panting and trying to catch her breath as Ivy joined, looking around once she landed.

"I don't… I don't know," Ivy breathed out in between pants.

The two girls were panting, turning in circles as they looked at their surroundings. They were in a room with a black and white tile floor and white walls. The only other things were them and a red button at the front of the room. Raven yelped when she almost fell, a chunk of the floor below her falling from beneath her feet. Her heart dropped when all she saw below her was darkness, scattered with stars like they were in space.

Ivy reacted quickly, grabbing the girl. They both stared at the gap in the floor with wide eyes, panting.

"We need to get out," Ivy said. "Now."

"No shit." Raven ran up to a wall and started to pound her fist against it. "Hey! Let us go, assholes!"

When nothing happened, she stormed over to the button at the front of the room, moving to press it, but being stopped by Ivy. "Raven!"

The younger girl's head snapped to her sister.

"We don't know what that does!"

"Whatever it is, it'll do something. This is obviously some fucked up game thing, and whatever this button does, it'll continue the game and we can get out," Raven told her. "Who knows? Maybe it ends the game all together!"

"Or we'll die! Again, we don't know what the button does! Maybe we're not supposed to press it! If this is a game, maybe this part tests how long we can go without pressing it," Ivy argued.

"We could die either way!" Raven countered. "If we don't press it, we starve. If we do, it takes us to some other puzzle. At least pressing it gives us a chance!"

The arguing was interrupted by a crack, and they looked over at the sound to see another piece of the floor breaking off and falling apart, dropping to the abyss below them.

Ivy stared at Raven for a second before sighing, storming over to the button, squeezing her eyes shut and pressing it.

When she did, the room started to shake, and the white wall in front of them seemed to unfold before their eyes, revealing two more terrains, a different one on each side of the room the girls were in.

The one on Raven's side seemed like the Arctic, snow covering the ground and trees, and the one on Ivy's side seemed like the woods.

Normally, the girls found forests calming, but here, it felt eerie to look at, unsettling now that they knew it wasn't real.

Raven tried to rush to Ivy's side, but there was something keeping her away. It was as if she ran into a wall that wasn't there. She started to hit the invisible barrier, but nothing happened or even sounded.

"Ivy!?" Raven shouted.

Ivy saw Raven's mouth move, saying her name, but didn't hear anything.

"Ivy!" She screamed again.

Nothing was heard by Ivy.

The redhead rushed to the middle of the room, the wall keeping her back. "Rae? Rae, look at me."

Raven's eyebrows furrowed when she saw her sister's mouth move, no sound coming out. That's when she realized she couldn't even hear Ivy's footsteps. "What's happening?"

Ivy— reading Raven's lips —shook her head. "I don't know. But look, I will find you."

Raven managed to make out what Ivy said, nodding as her breathing picked up. "What do I do?"

"Go through," Ivy seemed to say, talking about the entrance to the snowy biome. Raven looked over at it, panicked, but looked back at her sister and nodded.

"You got this," Ivy assured the black-haired girl, who mouthed "you too" back.

They both backed away from the invisible wall, stepping towards the environments. Ivy looked at her sister, putting up three fingers and counting down on them, mouthing "three, two, one," before they both stepped through.
