The walls of the Castle disappeared around us. My grip tightened on both Kyle and Courtney's hands in fear they'll disappear too. Luckily, their hands were still intact. The shouting and chaos petered out, leaving silence.
Then, we were falling. Darkness surrounded us as we fell. Maybe to our deaths. None of us dared release each other. A bright light approached and swallowed us. My fingers slipped from Courtney's, but Kyle grabbed my waist and pulled me to his chest.
The next thing happened within a blink of an eye. We fell and bounced on something soft. Well, Kyle fell on it and I dropped on him. We sighed, grateful for the soft landing while grunts rang out around us. Kyle and I had landed on a mattress while the others were unlucky enough to greet the concrete ground.
