SNAW: Seven Nights At The Wise's

One Chance

I gasped deeply, air filling my deoxygenated lungs.

Big words :3

I coughed and coughed for a solid 20 seconds, the concept of breathing about as memorable as walking after a 5-year coma.

I fell to my knees, breathing in and out deeply.

Where was I...?

What the heck just happened??

At my feet--or, well, hands and knees--remnants of some kind of weird gel slipped through the itty bitty holes in the ground.

I blinked several times, my body aching from having to hold up any amount of weight.

Looking around, I saw that I was inside a glass tube of some sort.  The glass was very wavy-looking since it was still kinda covered by the weird gel, making it hard to see anything beyond it.

I curled up slightly on my front, my forehead touching the now-dry metal bottom of the glass tube.

I tried remembering anything from before being here, but I just couldn't.

Well, okay, anything RELEVANT prior to being here.  I still remember my whole life...mostly.  Just not what I was doing before being...um...I guess it's safe to say before being kidnapped?

How long have I been out?

There was a faint hissing sound before the glass around me raised, freeing me from the confined space.

I heard more coughing from nearby and rubbed my eyes, looking around.

Fox ( Fox_Queen_Winter ) was partially outside of her tube on the ground, gasping.

Next to her was Kit ( sea-of-flames ), also gasping for breath.

"What...the...hell...is happening...."  Kit rasped before falling over on her side.  Not unconscious, though.

"L-L-Liz ( LizKittyMC )?"  Fox whispered questioningly.

"Kit...?  Fox...?  W-What in the world...?"

It took us all several minutes, but we eventually were able to get up and lean against one of the 4 other empty tubes.

"How did we get here?"  Fox asked shakily.

"Do either of you remember what happened just before waking up?  Well...just before in a relative sense.  Who knows how long we've been here...."  I trailed off.

Both of them shook their heads.

"My head is still hella groggy...."  Kit muttered.

"Same...."  Fox said after her.

I coughed a bit, rubbing my eyes.  "And who was in these other tubes...?"

"Well...what do the three of us have in common?"  Fox asked.

"Uh...Wattpad?"  I guessed.

Fox shrugged.  "I mean, I guess, but that's incredibly vague, as well.  There would be a LOT more than 7 tubes if it was just because of Wattpad."

"Don't tell me it has something to do with Becca."  Kit said suddenly.

"That's where my mind was heading, honestly.  I mean, we had that amazing adventure in her self-made world.  Who's to say we ever actually got out?"

"Don't get overly meta, Fox.  The last thing we need in an angry author figure who could kill us with a simple stroke of her keyboard."  I said softly.
