  "Get up!" A voice yelled to everyone.

"Everyone up!"

Sky shot awake and sat up. He looked around and saw Hero waking people up. Though everyone had woken up when he yelled at them too. Almost everyone anyways.

Entity was still sleeping, somehow. Hero narrowed his eyes at him and went over to him. He grabbed Entity's shoulders and shook him. "Wake up!" He yelled. Entity opened his eyes and gave a irritated look to Hero.

  "A simple slap would've done it." He stated, sitting up. Hero stood up and crossed his arms. "Alright, how about a slap to the face with a giant boulder." He said as he pointed up the mountain. Showing that it was starting to get a giant crack going to the top.

Entity looked unamused, and unfazed by the potential threat that loomed above them. He got up and looked to Hero. "Okay, point made." He said simply. Hero stared at him as he walked over to the fire, (which had turned to coals) and begun to poke at it with a stick.

Hero sighed and shook his head. Sky got up, a bit confused by the whole situation. "Wait, I thought we were safe on the mountain." Mitch commented, looking at the top.

  Hero put a hand through his hair and closed his eyes, irritated that no one was listening to him. "That doesn't matter now." Hero growled. "What matters now is that if we don't get off this mountain, all of us will die."

Everyone looked at him, fear written all over their faces. "Okay, which way to safety?" Quentin asked. "Down there? Okay!" He pointed to the bottom of the mountain and began to make a run for it. Or tried to. Jerome had grabbed him and pulled him back to where they were.

"Actually it'd be better if we got out of the line of fire, so getting to the ground would be a start." Hero commented.

"The fish was right!" Sky exclaimed with a smile, which received an aggravated look from Quentin. "I'm an amphibian!" He yelled.

"Um, where's the Dragons and that blue creature?" Entity questioned, looking where they last were. Everyone turned to Entity, but not nearly as fast as Hero and Sky.

Sky's eyes widened behind his sunglasses, while Hero just looked confused and hurt. "They left. They must've sensed that sown thing was wrong." Ender spoke.

"Then we should probably go. Now." Hero stressed as he started making his way done the mountain. But he stopped when a loud CRACK! came from the top of the mountain.

He slowly turned his head to look at the mountain that towered above them. His eyes widening at the sight. At his expression, everyone followed his gaze, only to have the same expression.

Some backed up a bit, while others looked around for possible exits out of the scary mountain.

The mountain as green as it was, broke off at the ending of where the greenery stops and the brown rock starts. Many cracks were stopping the green and brown from meeting, all going off in different directions.

And all making their way to the tiptop of the mountain. Though even just if a bird landed on it, it would all fall. "Everyone needs to start going down the mountain, now." Hero spoke.

Another loud crack went through the land and rock started to move at the top. "Everyone run!" Hero yelled, knowing that everything was already coming down.

No one hesitated at the order and turned around to run down the mountain. Hero waited until everyone was in front of him before he started running too.
