Different Dimensions [Completed]

No Take-Backs

A/N: Hey guys! I'm really sorry. I know it doesn't make up for anything but I hope you understand anyway. I might not have power tomorrow because of hurricane Sandy and that's going to suck. I have no school to keep me occupied and no Wattpad! WHAT ON EARTH AM I GOING TO DO?! Anyway, I'm psyched about Taylor Swift's new album RED! I bought it the day it came out, I think it's amazing. And Little Things by One Direction comes out tomorrow! *EXTREME FANGIRLING* I just hope I have enough money on iTunes... :D Remember to...

Fan...

Desmia~

The green luminescence woke everyone up. Riley's and my face were still close, lips almost touching again. "What's going on?" I heard Andrew demand. I know what he saw and I knew he had every right to be upset. 

"Erm, we were finding a way out?" I say, voice rising at the end making it sound like I was asking a question. 

"With Riley's lips so close to yours? What is that accomplishing?" his voice is as sharp as icicles, cold as the room I had stayed in for so long... 

"It was because there was writing on the cave wall. It had the Story of Two Lovers on it. And we thought that maybe if we kissed--" 

"You. Already. Kissed?" he yells at me. 

"There are children, Andrew..." I mumble, averting my gaze. 

"I don't give a damn! Answer my question, Desmia!" he yells again. 

"Yes! We kissed! Now would you lower your voice? Stop. Yelling." I shriek. 

"You bi--" 

"Don't you dare say it, Andrew. Don't you even dare." I warn in an almost feral whisper. 

"I'm leaving you." he gives up, voice broken. 

"No, you aren't. Come back here, Andrew." I call after him. He flips me off and continues to walk. 

"You can't just run away from your problems, Andrew." I say hopelessly. 

I can almost hear the muttered "Whatever." come out of his mouth. I let out a sob and bury my face in my hands; my long hair falling into a thick curtain around me. Riley puts a reassuring arm around my shoulder and I sniffle. 

I pick my head up and stare stonily ahead. "We have to find the last locket. Let's get going." 

"Are you sure you'll be--" Riley starts.

"Don't worry about me. We'll be fine. There isn't time to waste." I shake my head, trying to clear it. He nods once. 

"Let's be off then." he agrees. And with that, we set off down a green lighted passage. I walk with my head held high, the rest travelling in a line behind me. Except for Riley. He walks silently next to me. Just observing me, making sure I'm not going to break down. Every once in a while he puts his palm on my shoulder and then he takes it back off after a few minutes. The green light leads to an empty clear part of a cave, all that's in the middle is a single bench. I look at it closely and inscribed in the top is a message. 

"I hold the key." 

I begin to feel the edges of the bench until one part pushes in under my finger tips. I feel around for more and realize that there are four on the two corners and front and back of the bench. And then there's a lone one in the center. We press all the buttons in and still nothing happens. I look under the bench then and realize that there's one more piece. A heart is upside down on the bottom and I turn it so that it is facing up. A hinge clicks and the top springs open, revealing a secret compartment. And laying in the soft black velvet is a silver locket with waves on the back. The final puzzle piece. A radiant smile lights up my face. Now... How to get back out of the cave? The green light is slowly dimming.

"Is the light going...?" Riley trails off as we are eneveloped with darkness. Complete and utter nothingness. Just black. The same as when you close your eyes and you can not see a single thing. If it weren't for being able to hear them breathing, I would've thought I was all alone with no one and nothing to help me out again. And I would surely die.

"Now what?" I ask in the darkness, feeling completely ridiculous for it seems that I am talking to myself since I can't see the others.

There is no answer.

--End of Chapter--
