Falling. Again.
This was getting ridiculous.
I barely had time to process before we hit water.
Cold, dark, definitely full of monsters water.
I plunged into the abyss, bubbles escaping my mouth as I fought the sudden pressure. The others splashed in around me, their muffled yells lost beneath the surface.
Something brushed my leg.
I didn't think. I kicked violently.
Then I grabbed Felix, who was flailing like a dying fish, and hauled him toward the surface.
We broke through with gasping breaths.
Felix coughed up a lung. "I—I hate this—I hate this—"
Julien swam past, grinning. "Refreshing, huh?"
Felix pointed at him. "I'm going to kill you."
Leo groaned. "Where are we?"
I glanced around. The cliffs we had jumped from were gone. Just smooth, endless cave walls stretching upward. The only light came from the eerie blue glow of some unknown plant along the edges.
Great. Underground lake.
Cassandra's voice drifted over the water. "We should get to land."
