Moira ran, employing all of her cheerleading and gymnastics knowledge to avoid the plants. She ducked, rolled, jumped, dived and even back flipped to evade the carnivorous flowers. She escaped vines and roots, fended of large, grabbing leaves and avoided being swallowed by the flower heads. She dived forwards, skidding under a flailing tendril of green, tearing the knees out of her trousers, but she didn't care, as long as she got away.
Then suddenly, the path opened out into a green, grassy clearing.

Valerian fluttered her wings, walking backwards and singing loudly. She looked a total idiot but at least it was working. The mist swirled around her, trying to penetrate the small bubble of clear air she was creating around her, but was blown away in an instant.
Then, the level of the path changed, and Valerian tripped, falling on her back in a green clearing.

Lindsay walked automatically, not really seeing or hearing as all her efforts went into ignoring her annoying double dancing around her. Lindsay hoped that it was just doing that to annoy her and wasn't a representation of her in real life, otherwise she had some apologies to give.
Just before she could crack, before she could loose it completely, she saw it. A bright light at the end of the path. A brightly lit forest glade.

Cat laughed loudly as she and her new friend played chase as she traveled down the path. Cat was slightly wary of the creature, not sure it wasn't going to eat her as soon as it got bored, but then logic dictates that by not playing with it, that would happen a lot faster.
And besides, it was adorable in some strange, twisted way.
Cat felt the flooring beneath her feet change. Suddenly, instead of cobblestones it was soft and springy. Grass. Lush, thick grass.

I'm visiting my grandparents tomorrow, and they have problems with WiFi. I may not be able to update for a day or two. I may try to write more pages, but I may not be able to publish them until Monday. Hope that's okay!
