Short Story 2

     The tunnel roof loomed high above us while the walls squished us closer together "Hey, what's that?" I asked, pointing at the glowing object at the end of the hall. The purple ominous shape seemed to call my name.

     "I'm not sure," Kylo responded. He reached out to grab my arm. I ignored the touch as my eyes were drawn to our final destination. I moved forward removing his hand from my wrist.

     "Could it be what I think it is?" My voice was almost a whisper. Kylo was walking past me, as if he was going to go right up to the glowing shape, but he stopped within a few feet of me.

     "Maybe... Let's get closer..." His voice seemed as tight as mine. Kylo turned his head so his eyes could meet mine. He was expecting an answer. His handsome grey eyes telling me the answer he wanted.

    I sighed and gave in. "Okay, I'll follow you," I stepped forward and took his calloused hand. He gave me a nervous smile.

     "All right..." He squeezed my hand and pulled me towards our final destination.

     We walked for over five minutes. Which should have been impossible since the shape seemed a lot closer when we first entered the tunnel. By that point, I was the one pulling us forward. Kylo's feet kept faltering every few steps. His makeshift foot kept catching on rocks. Just as I was about to give up and turn back, Kylo tripped. He took a few steps to catch himself, putting him in front of me.

    "Careful! You almost ran into it!" My words echoed off the walls as it seemed we were closer to the purple shape than we thought. I caught Kylo's upper arm and kept him from falling right through the shape. We were standing right in front of the huge gate into the next world. A world full of faeries and centaurs. That was where our next journey would begin. I looked at Kylo and smiled. Smiled because of what brought us together, because of our journey, because I was happy to be by his side. "Are you ready?" He returned the smile in answer and we stepped through the gate.

So I wrote this for school and idk I dont really like it as much as I wanted to but yea. This was a dialogue prompt which means all parts of the dialogue, except the last part "Are you ready?" do not in any way shape or form belong to me.
