"GET BACK HERE FREAKS!" shouts the swarm of teens chasing me and AJ. We start to climb a hill to escape the mob.

I trip and fall to the ground, groaning in pain. I then feel my arm being almost torn from its socket as AJ is trying her best to pick me back up. I stumble back up as the people are getting closer to us.

We keep running but they won't quit. We reach the top and are out of breath. But the people don't care about that. We look to see we are surrounded by alot of angry people. We back into each other with nowhere to run.

"MONSTERS DON'T BELONG HERE! GET OFF THE SURFACE YA DISGUSTING MONSTERS!" one of the boys in front shout, causing and uproar of agreement.

"WE'RE NOT MONSTERS," I scream at the croud as the same boy shoves me into AJ. We both stumble and fall, realising there is not ground below us. My stomach drops and I hear laughter from above. I look around and see nothing but darkness . This was it, me and AJ were going to die. I close my eyes and wait for my death.

"HARLEY!" I hear AJ screams. I jolt open my eyes to see her just inches below me. Without a second thought I spread out my arms, just barely grabbing my friend's hoodie. I yank her towards me as I see ground coming into sight.

As quick as I can, I turn us to where I'm the one closest to the ground, shielding her from the impact. I hear the crack of my bones as we hit the ground. I gasps, all air leaving my lungs. Leaving me suffering.

I wait a minute, ready to die, but I don't. The air finally comes back to me and I take a big inhale, I wince, definitely broken a few ribs.

I'm confused on how I survived. I turn my head just the slightest to see that we had landed on a giant pile of flowers.

I look back down to see AJ not moving on my chest, her eyes were closed. I quickly sit up and turn her over. I go to her neck to check for a pulse, I feel a faint thump against my fingers.

Thank God, she's alive.

She then groans and squints open her eyes.

"Harley?" she asks. "Where are we?" and with that she rolls onto her side.

"Why, you're in the Underground!" says a bright, friendly voice from the darkness. I lift my fists and look around, I can't see anyone. The person chuckles.

"I don't think your in any way possible to fight pal." They state. Then, emerging from the dark, tight in front of us is a flower. They have big yellow petals and a goofy grin spread across their face. They look harmless, and with that, I lower my fists.

"That makes my life a whole lot easier," the flower's voice starts to distort at the last few words. I look up to see a chilling expression grow across the plant face.
