"I'll go first to check if it's safe, then you and Ib may come down and I'll catch you." He smiled at Ib how nodded and then looked over at Lin, who bit her lip.

"Isn't there some other way?" Garry let out a soft chuckle.

"Worried about me?"

"Yes I am. It doesn't look safe, its dark and we don't know where it leads." She hugged herself, rubbing her arms from the cold in the room. Garry walked over to her and patted her head.

"That's what I'm here for; if it's unsafe then I'll be the one to be sacrificed and not you two. It's my duty as a man." Winking at her he went back to the hole in the wall and slide inside carefully. "I'll check it out first, and then I'll let you know." Pushing off, he slide down the narrow space until Lin and Ib couldn't hear him anymore. Lin went over to the hole and peered inside it.

"What are you doing?" Ib asked.

"I'm going down there."

"Garry said to stay up here; he will tell us if it's safe." Lin sat at the edge and smiled at Ib.

"I didn't hear him land, stay here ok." Taking a deep breathe she pushed herself off and slide down. It had many twists and turns, she wondered how long it would take until she reached the bottom when she felt warm air hit her before arms grabbed her to stop her from falling on the ground.

"I knew you couldn't stay away." She turned to see Garry smiling at her and she blushed like a tomato. He set her down carefully and took a step back as she dusted herself.

"I-I was worried, since we couldn't hear you anymore."

"So you decided to come down yourself, interesting" he said calmly as she pouted and crossed her arms.

"Whatever, I'll go check over there and –"she took a step forward and felt the ground beneath her feet crumble. "AAH!" she grabbed the edge and tried to pull herself up.

"Lin!" Garry ran over and kneeled on the ledge. "Grab my hand!" Lin did what she was told, but he was too far away.

"I-I can't!" she grabbed the edge again, her hands starting to feel slippery. Garry lay on his stomach and outstretched his hand again. She shook her head, tears in her eyes. "N-no, I can't I'm too short and-"

"Lin, look at me. Everything is going to be ok; I'm going to help you." Theirs eyes locked with each other, enough time for Garry to grab her hand. "Climb." She did what she was told and before she knew it she was safely on stable ground, panting. Several moments later she managed to recover her senses and noticed that she was laying her head on Garry's; shoulder, his arms wrapped around her protectively.

"Are you alright?" she heard him whisper in her ear, giving her chills. Lin pulled away and sat infront of him, nodding. "Good." He smiled as she noticed a small cut on his cheek, bleeding.

"You're hurt, here let me-"she tried to stand but only managed to trip forward and fall right back in his arms. Coming face to face with him once again, she didn't blush as he smiled and kissed her softly.

"Careful, don't you hurting yourself." They stayed that way for a couple of moments before Garry stood up, helping her to her feet. "Come on, we can leave Ib wondering if were ok or not." placing the tips of his fingers in his mouth he managed a soft whistle. Wrapping his arm around her shoulders, he pulled her closely as they waited for Ib to join them.

"I suggest that you stay closer to me, I noticed how clumsy you are." All Lin could do is nod as she watched IB land softly on her feet and dust herself off. When she was done she looked at them and tilted her head.

"Did I miss something?"
