Behind Closed Doors [Fantasy, Semi-Lit] *Not Accepting*

[Season of the Star]

"I don't know. The city looks in ruins. The mountain looks impossible- but if we continue down the ledge maybe we can find a way down." Zara muttered. She shook her head slowly. Maybe there was more to just being knocked out in there.
"Why do you think we were put in the warehouse in the first place? To find these places? I'm not exactly too fond of staying in the warehouse..." Zara trailed off, voicing her concerns. She sighed and began walking down the ledge. Her feet scrambled onto hard ground, whereas they sometimes almost gave out when the ledge started to break at small times.

Kat heard a crash and looked around but it quickly faded from her mind as she turned back to the door. "Right. Let's spread out and look for a key. We'll go in pairs. If we find one...hang on." she delved into her pocket, taking one hand from the gun behind her back and pulled her phone out. She flipped it up and stared at the signal bars. No signal. She checked her credit and swore. She knew she had had £12.50 something yesterday but now it just read;

Dear customer, your credit balance is £00.00 valid till 08-Sep-11.

She checked the signal again and tried calling her friend, but nothing worked. Then even as Kat was just thinking nothing worse could happen a tiny image of an empty battert flashed up, before her screen went blank. Kat threw her phone to the floor and kicked it into a dusty corner. "No, credit, signal, battery!" she sighed. "Sorry, yeah. Where was I? Right; if we find a key holler. And keep checking your phones, I think we're in America somewhere because there's more Americans than Brits here, so mine wouldn't be much use."

Her gun was pointed at Morgan behind her back, and now she bought it round to the front casually almost, not pointing it but letting the people know it was cocked and the safety was off and the silencer on. The people who had been in the room before would know she wasn't going to shoot but the non-believer girl wouldn't.

"Don't you point that gun at me!" Morgan growled at Kat, looking furious. "Why do you get to tell me what to do, anyway?" She crossed her arms over her chest, but she was scared. Unfortunately, that made her even more verbally agressive, when her best option was probably to sit down and take it.

After a long moment of starting down the barrell of the handgun, she growled, digging the key out of her pocket. "If you want a key so badly, here!" She held out the key, but she wasn't prepared to give it to anyone yet. The silver glinted, but something about it looked wrong to Morgan. Avoiding Kat carefully, she stalked over to the door, pushing Cole and the others out of her way.

"Here, let me try it," she said, inserting the key into the lock and trying to turn it. She held her breath, but nothing happened. "See? it doesn't even work," she told them, dropping it to the floor in disgust. She kept her hands in plain view so no one would be tempted to shoot, and stepped back. Her hair was ruffled, and her face was red. Despite normally being a pretty girl, Morgan looked terrible. She sat down on the concrete floor and stared at her feet, not caring about her clothes anymore. "I just want to go home," she whispered, revealing vulnerability in her voice for the first time since she had spoken to these people.

Cole didn't react when Morgan shoved him, simply moved to the side. It was possibly because there was a gun pointed at her, and he didn't want it pointed at him, but also because he was watching the rest of the group in another hallway. He was terribly sad when Morgan's key didn't work, because he had wanted to see the castle, and when she dropped it he picked it up and tucked it into his boot.

He really wanted to be over on the other side of the hallway, though, where they seemed to have opened a door. He walked across the room casually, hoping that everyone was distracted enough by Morgan not to question him. When he reached the other hallway he gasped, looking out upon a crumbling city. He didn't dare walk out onto the cliff that was there, despite the fact that Zara, Sky, and Nick were already out there. Cole couldn't shake the feeling that everything would just crumble when he stepped through the door.

"Hey, guys!" he called to the three standing on the cliff. "What's going on?" he tried not to be too loud, lest the others at the castle door hear him. "Is it safe?" he added, the toes of his boots resting on the threshold, unsure of which direction to take. Cole breathed in, the scent of earth and plant-life assaulting his nostrils. This has to be real, he thought to himself.

"Probably," Sky said to Cole, obviously not caring if it was safe or not. She sat on the edge, with her feet dangling off. Sky wished she could just fly down there, to the city. That would make things considerably easier. Maybe she would find something that would make her fly in one of the places behind the doors.

((I hope this is foreshadowing. It's strange for me for Sky to not be able to fly.))

"So, do you think we could get down there somehow? I want to see what's down there," Sky said, looking down argue city.

[Lacuna]

((Because someone asked, I wanted to say this: Anyone can find the key, it doesn't matter. Also, Morgan's really didn't work. My thought was that the key has to match the world, so a bright silver key like Morgan's would open a more modern/alien world, where the key to the castle world would be something more bronze/tarnished. Also, because we're getting there, if your character is going to change, please PM me with an addition to their form about their power/change for me to approve. Thanks guys!))

"I'm not." said Kat simply. She wasn't pointing the gun at her which was what she was saying she wasn't doing, but she didn't object when Morgan said she was bossing her around, truth be told Kat wasn't sure is she was or not. Kat watched as she pulled a key out and only just stopped herself from grabbing it. She watched as the girl put it in the door and frowned when it didn't work. It was the only key they'd seen but no, it had to not work! she sighed in frustration and was just about to pick it up, when she noticed the key dissappearing into Cole's boot.

Kat kept her mouth shut and watched as he walked away, not caring much anymore who went or who stayed. She looked around at the gathered people. "Imma gonna go...explore." she said nodding. Then without waiting to see if anyone answered of objected or wanted to come with her, she was walking down the hall. She reached the large space with lots of ajoining halls and picking one at random started down that one.

[gotta go now, probs back on later!]

"I don't know." Zara frowned, slipping a little as pebbles and dirt fell down the rocky drop. She gulped, looking into the deep drop. Her heart pounded, breathing slowing until is seemed to almost stop. The ledge was smaller now, her toes hanging off the edge. Her fingers clawed for a grip on the smooth stone wall behind her. She closed her eyes, trying to imagine that she was somewhere safe.
"Did I mention I'm afraid of heights?" She whispered audibly.

[DisneyMagic]

"No, you didn't. But I can pretty much tell." Sky said. "I used to be like that." It was true. Sky had once been terrified of heights. She had always liked being up high, but it made her extremely nervous. She supposed she had been more afraid of fallin than heights. But now she wasn't afraid of either. You could say she had gotten used to it.

Sky toyed with shining gold key on the string around her neck. She had always wondered what it was. She had found it long ago. Maybe she would learn it's purpose here.

Sky's mind wondered to a string of words she had come up with long ago with it hardly thinking:
There are many worlds, and every world has many doors, and all those doors have a lock, and every lock has a key. So every key goes to a lock, which unlocks a door that opens to a world that no one can imagine.

Sky saw very clearly what that meant now.

Zara chuckled nervously, moving along the ledge. She looked ahead, seeing a small slop, but it seemed somewhat slightly easier to skitter down on. It was also apparent that it had been caused by a landslide log ago. By now it was full of short, dry greenery and looked as if it had been there a while.
"Look, it's the best way down that I see. Although you will slide more than walk." Zara said.

[DisneyMagic]

Sky walked to Zara and looked at what she was looking at. "Slide?" she asked. "As in, one my butt?" She looked down over the edge. Sky couldt see this ending well, but she didn't care. She just wanted to get down there.

((sorry it's short. I didn't know what else to say))
