Darkness Falls

Chapter 4: The World Inside the Magical Doors

Inside the world behind the door Robbie starts freaking out. "what is wrong with you!? why would you jump into a mysterious door without even looking inside first!? What were you thinking!?"

"are you about done?" Vanessa huffs crossing her arms.

"i..." Robbie starts angrily until he notices how relaxed she is. "why are you so calm!?" he turns around and sees a beautiful world full of color and rainbows. The sight makes him cringe. "ewww gross..."

"hey it beats getting eaten alive by moth man." Vanessa shrugs.

"yeah I guess..." Robbie pouts slightly irritated by Vanessa's lack of understanding. "but this isn't really much better."

"well at least I got us away from that person eating creature." Vanessa retorts.

"but the book says these doors are bad news." Robbie protests. "you very easily could have placed us in far more danger then before. Not to mention one very important fact." He points where the door used to be. "how do we get back?!"

"well I guess we'll just have to look around here until we find a way out wont we." Vanessa growls with her hands on her hip.

"well I guess we will." Robbie retorts back and then turns and begins walking nowhere in particular.

Vanessa follows for a bit before asking. "mind if I ask where you intend to go?"

"the exit." Robbie replies.

"and you're sure it's this way?" she questions with a snarky smirk.

Robbie pauses and then turns to look over his shoulder. "no actually... but you don't know either so it won't kill either of us to go this way."

"it might kill us." Vanessa replies. "for all you know you could be leading us directly into danger."

"what other chose do we have?!" Robbie replies exasperated. "if you want to we can split up. you go whatever way you want and I'll keep going this way." He glances over at Vanessa. "and if you can't find a way out we'll meet up um..." Robbie looks around with his eyes narrowed. "that big purple tree way over there."

"alright... but what if one of us finds the exit?" Vanessa questions.

"then I guess we'll have to meet up at the tree anyways." Robbie shrugs.

"just one problem with that." Vanessa smirks. "the doorway disappears and re-appears in unpredictable patters through the entire area. It'll be gone by the time either of us gets back to the other if we split up."

Robbie pauses for a moment. "wait... seriously? How do you know that?"

"not only that but the doorways don't always come back out on earth. We could be trapped here for a while waiting for the right door." Vanessa says crossing her arms. "I've been studying this weird door phenomenon for years. I've never actually been in here though because I didn't want to end up stuck like a dumbass."

"dumbass!?" Robbie growls offended. "you're the one who dragged us both in here!?"

"well excuse me for saving your life princess! I should have just let the moth man eat you!?" Vanessa growls back.

They stay steamed for a moment glaring at each other. "well then..." Robbie huffs and turns to walk away. "fine..."

Vanessa stands there for a moment watching him walk away anger pulsing through her mind and body, before she can pull her thought together he is already gone. She sighs and shakes her head. "he's a damn idiot. He's going to get himself killed." She runs after him but she loses him. "weird... he wasn't that far ahead?" Vanessa questions to herself. "I wonder where he went?" she places her hand on the ground and listens to surrounding area.
