WHUMP!
They both landed in darkness. One beside the other.
And then Bentley started laughing.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Because..." She said between breaths, "Because— oh I don't know. I'm just laughing, alright? Let me laugh,"
Neither of them were hurt, and yet both could feel their bodies pumping with adrenaline. They had just fled from quite a chaotic fight. There was no sign of the trap-door over their heads, nor of the angel statue. Naturally, now that they were safe, the giddy rush of relief could take over.
"I have no idea what just happened," Atticus said, smiling shyly.
"God, neither do I." Bentley rolled on to her feet, "But at least we're alright now."
Atticus stood up as well. They were surrounded by the familiar, empty darkness again. But he could still make out Bentley's expression. She was grinning. Unfortunately, the moment she turned around, her grin melted away completely. Because behind them... were three doors.
