The Girl With The Light

Chapter 7

" How far are we going?" Laura asked Jackson. Jackson didn't reply but started to walk faster.

" You can answer me now." I said louder. He turned around and his face was serious.

" Be quiet!" He snapped at her. Laura put her hands up in a surrender position.

" What got to your-"

" Shut up!" He said grabbing her wrists and dragging her along. Laura broke his grip. She followed him but was sure he wasn't normal. After a bit there was a hole in the ground.

" Look sorry for snapping at you back there. We just needed to be quiet and get the hell out of here before they find us." He said whispering. Laura nodded her head understanding him.

" Ill go first but you follow right away. " He demanded her. Jackson turned around and put his pack on tight. Laura did the same. Jackson looked at Laura.

" Ready?" He asked her. Laura nodded her head again. Jackson jumped down the hole. Laura looked behind her and jumped down the hole. Everything was cold. There was a rush of unusual wind. There was light coming underneath her. Laura started to feel weird. She hated to be in a tight space and this was indeed TIGHT. She closed her eyes as the air around her thickened. She gasped right as she fell through an opening. She landed right on a cold floor. She groaned trying to get up. Jackson walked over to her and offered her a hand. Laura took his hand and stood up.

" Thanks." Laura said grinning at her brother

" No problem." Jackson said smirking at her. After he helped her up, they walked through many little hallways. The hallways kinda reminded Laura of a school hallway. They finally reached a latter that went down. Jackson nodded at her.

" Ill go first." He said to her. " Then you know the drill." Laura nodded he head. Jackson disappeared down the latter. Laura soon followed him. She heard a loud bang from underneath her. She started to freak out but she kept going down the latter. One step broke and she lost her grip. She fell into the blackness not really knowing where she was going. She screamed closing her eyes. She felt a pair of arms catch her.

" You're okay." Said an unfamiliar voice. I opened my eyes trying to catch my breath. A really cute guy had caught me. He had blonde hair with blue eyes and his smile was angelic.... okay put yourself together, Laura. You just fell. She sighed to herself.

" Thanks. Who are you exactly?" I asked as he put me down.

" My name's Elijah." He said grinning at her.

" Where's Jackson?" I asked looking around.

" He's over there." Elijah said pointing to a computer. Jackson was typing really fast.

"Oh.." I said walking towards him. I couldn't believe my eyes on the room! It was really small. But it was decorated nicely. The Windows were slightly shaded. Jackson looked up and waved.

" Sup sis." He said grinning. I rolled my eyes at him. I walked over to where he was.

" What are you working on?" I asked as I watched him type unusually fast.

" Some project. Anyways, you met Elijah?" He asked looking up and giving me a look that I wish I could just slap off his face.

" Yes I have." I said folding my arms.

" Good. Get to know each other. Ill be back." He said and with a snap of his fingers he disappeared. Wow..... I thought to myself. It then became awkward.

" So what's your name?" Elijah asked looking at me. Now the look he gave me. I wasn't quite sure how to take it.

" Laura." I said. He smiled at me but didn't say anything. I started to feel uncomfortable. I walked up to a little exercise thing and looked up. What was this? I put my hand to it and felt warmth. I was curious. I was just about to touch it when.......
