Chapter 8: When Two Disappear...
The air was murky down in the sewers. Many twists and turns laid ahead. The floor, of course, flooded with foul sewage.
ELLy: “Ewww!”
Z: “What? The only thing you need to worry about are the alligators... Sometimes we would wrestle them bare handed into tears.”
ELLy: “Ow Great, Now There's Alligators! Whats Next?!”
RY: “A simple laser grid.”
ELLy: “How simple?”
Ry: “Not very.”
ELLy: “Ahw Man...”
Z takes the first few steps into the sewers.
Z: “You guy's cuving? Water's warm.”
ELLy: “Ewww, again!..”
RY walks over to Z, putting her arm on his shoulder. She whispered dark secrets into his ear. Z can't help but give the faintest hint of a smirk.
Z: “Okay.”
ELly: “Okay what? What did you just agree too?” *Dramatic point*
RY: “None ya. Now quit holding up the line.”
ELLy: “Okay, coming, let me – whoops...”
ELly slipped, falling into the noxious muck. No luck for the innocent I guess. She quickly got right back up, covered in the waste.
ELly: “Ahw Man. Now I'm covered in crap, shoot...”
Z: “Enough let's get moving. There’s a changing station up ahead.”
ELLy: “Yippy! Alright, gang, lets move.”
Within a flash of an eye, Ry and Z disappear, out of site, leaving poor ELLy all to her lonesome.
Elly: “Wait up guys! I can't move that fast...”
Z calling form a far distance: “We'll be waiting.”
ELly: “Arhg! First I get kidnapped! Then I almost get killed like a bazillion times! I fell into mud. Now I got to wrestle alligators by myself! Worst Day Ever!”
From the doorway 2 red eye's lay watch, reseeding back into the darkness from whence it came.

Cascading crescently, coordinating the next set of stairs.
RY: “Do you think we should of left her?”
Z: “It's for her own good. It'll make her stronger.”
RY: “What if one of the alligators eats her? How would we get thru the door?”
Z: “Have some faith in the girl. We already took out the nastiest ones, the rest should be a cake walk. I think she can manage... I hope.”

While running down the corridor, chased by a hungry pack of alligators, ELLy only had this to say: “Ohh. Why did I ever sign up for this crazy job!” Alligators faked no tears for her. *Snap* “Yikes!”

Thru the next door the duo emerged. Lasers lined the floor like an old spiders web.
Z: “RY this looks like a job for you.”
RY: “What can't tackle this by yourself. J K, it'll be my pleasure.”
She grinned revealing a single fang. Z's heart sank with emotion (who know he had any.). He watched her move gracefully thru the maze on the floor. Beautifully she navigated her way thru the laser grid. Graceful as a dove, on wings of ivory. Her agile body made it thru to the other side in less then 7 seconds. She hit the switch to disarm the laser grid. Z applauded.
Z: “Nicely done. Now all we have to do is wait for the girl...”
It wasn't a long of a wait. Soon enough ELLy busted thru the door.
ELLy: “How could you leave me like that!? I was almost eaten!”
Z: “But you weren’t.Congrats, you made it.”
ELLy was finished her fit.
ELLy: “I thought there was suppose to be lazers up here.”
RY: “There were, I disarmed them. Your welcome.”
Z: “Well that covers this floor. Let's ascend to the next one, shall we?”
