Hello! Did you like the last one? Thanks, I try. No seriously though, are you getting tired of this, or is it still great? I'm slightly scared about that. I'll stop talking now. Here's chapter 20, falling!

"Fleur." Linnéa shot up from her bed. "FLEUR!"

"Hey, hey. You alright, Néa?" Sihana was up, and grabbed Fleur's wrists.

Linnéa snapped out of her frantic state. "I-I yeah. I'm alright." She shook her head a bit. "Just...just worried about Fleur." She muttered.

"Just relax. Fleur can take care of herself. Go back to bed." Sihana said gently.

"Yeah...yeah, I'll just...just sleep. Fleur is capable." Linnéa drifted off.

Sihana sighed. At least Linnéa went back to bed. After Perlita left, Koralia was a mess.

"Yeah. They're all capable."

"Ouch! Not again!" Abigail shouted. She had been under...whatever type of water this was, for what seemed like hours, you'd think she'd have learned to avoid the dark cloudy water. It stung her cuts. The water itself was weird. She could breathe in it. It was like she was on land, except she wasn't. It was awfully strange.

She wished someone was here with her, anyone to help. Maxwell, with his funny misunderstandings, Lukas, with his constant jokes. Tiberiu, with his kind but cryptic nature, or Malcolm, with his sarcasm and brotherly jokes. Or the girls, Rose, who was strong. Fleur, who gave such great advice, or Laura, who would listen to her. And Linnéa, who's bubbly demeanor could make the sun shine any day. She wished she wasn't alone.

How long had she been here? Not too long. But alone for so long. It didn't make any sense, one moment she had to return to school early, the next she was here. Even after all these...months(?), she didn't know where she was. She could barely move, she was trapped in something. But she was still alive, just...just barely.

There was a loud banging on the door.

"Max. Max! I need to come in, my bed is in there!" Lukas shouted from the opposite side of the door.

Maxwell didn't respond. He just sat in a chair, staring at the wall.

"Dammit Max!" Lukas threw his shoulder at the door, but stood no chance against the titanium inside the door. "Bloody hell, that hurt!"

Still no response.

"Shite..." Lukas mumbled. "Okay, listen. I don't know much, I just know that Malic and Beri think she's on another planet. And about a danger. It's threatening us all, Max." Lukas sighed. "The less you know, the safer you are, Max." Lukas was sitting down with his back to the door, leaning his head back against the door. And as soon as Maxwell yanked the door open, Lukas fell right through, his head slamming against the ground. "Bloody hell mate! That shite hurts!"
