EPISODE 4 - ONE STEP CLOSER

He felt like sinking.

Sinking deeper, but this feeling was nothing like the feeling before. It was oddly ... satisfiying.

'Here we are.'

W-Sam's eyes snapped open as Jeremy's voice floated into his mind. Darkness surrounded him, then after a few moments, his vision adjusted to the dark, and he realised they were in a deep, dark tunnel. The sound of a waterfall could be heard behind him.

'Is that ... a waterfall?'

'Exactly. Also known as the gateway to Elixir.' Jeremy moved forward, helping W-Sam up. 'I'll explain soon. We walk through the waterfall, and boom, we're in the Elixir.'

'It's so well hidden,' W-Sam said, amazed.

'It's supposed to be,' Jeremy said grimly.

'Are we underground?' Iris asked, standing up and brushing dust off her khaki pants. 'I am so not in the right outfit for this,' she muttered. 'I should have come in a T-shirt.' She was wearing a spaghetti-strap top, khaki pants, and a golden necklace, and it looked as if she was strolling down the mall.

'I agree,' Jeremy said. 'But that's not the problem now. Come on. Follow me.'

Iris and W-Sam followed along. Jeremy was heading toward the waterfall. 'You ready?' he asked. 'We're gonna jump in the waterfall. Trust me, you aren't gonna fall. you're gonna land in Elixir.'

'Why are we going to Elixir, actually?' snapped Iris, suddenly perking up.

'There's this man. He can help you find your sister, and maybe even get you out of here. He'll tell you what to do.' Jeremy paused. 'Okay, you in?'

'Does it look like we have a choice?'

'Yes, it does.'

Iris sighed. 'Fine,' she said, sighing. 'But you better promise this is gonna be good.' And with that, she leaped into the waterfall as it swallowed her up. W-Sam shrugged and jumped in after her. Jeremy stared after them.

'It's gonna be fine,' he said into the empty air. 'Better than fine actually,' then he himself jumped into the waterfall.
