FOUR KIDS, around the age of ten and eleven, were standing side by side with a large man in a hazard suit next to them.

"Are you ready?" The voice of Dr. Brenner echoed, not really caring if the kids were ready or not.

"Yes, sir." Five, one of the oldest being eleven years of age, stated, standing straight up like a tiny soldier.

The hesitant kids slowly walked through the slimy gateway. This was their first time going into the world beyond the slime and the kids were filled with nerves.

Once they all made it through the barrier, they were surrounded by a place that looked like their world, except it was cold, slimy, dark.

Twelve felt a shiver go down his spine grabbing the closest thing to him which was a hand.

The blue-eyed boy looked to the owner of the hand with a hesitant, scared smile. Number Six, looked down at their intertwined hands, squeezing the boy's hand tightly causing Twelve to relax and the group started walking.

"Why'd I have to come? I mean, Brenner knows I'm not useful--" Five cut off Six's rambling. "I don't know, okay? Don't question Brenner."

 Eleven and Five stood in front, protective of the two boys behind them. They all jumped as they heard a loud screech in the distance. 

"What was that?" Six asked, the eleven-year-old looking nervously between the two, grasping Twelve's hand tightly, the two boys' hands clammy with nerves.

"I don't know." Five clenched his jaw, looking around trying to find where the sound came from. Ignoring the chills that go down his spine. He had to keep the three safe. It was his job.

Suddenly the screech got closer, and they all gasped as they saw a monster, with a man-like body and a flower-shaped mouth that opened showing rows of sharp teeth, sending shivers through their bodies.

They all started running away, shouting encouraging words at each other.

"Hold on!" Five shouted as the kids all grab hands.

Five was about to teleport them out when Six was suddenly grabbed by the monster.

"NO!" Twelve cried out going to grab him but Five held the blue-eyed boy back as Eleven glares at the monster attacking.
