[color=0072bc][center][h3]Shaula[/h3][/center][/color] [hr] [color=0072bc]"Don't put words in my mouth! I never said anything about lizard people,"[/color] Shaula said to Trevor. Besides, that would be ridiculous; there was no evidence for lizard people now that she knew Trevor wasn't one. The conversation turned to the portal, then Trevor and Jason waltzed straight through to who-knows-where without so much as grabbing a granola bar. The other three were more cautious. [color=0072bc]"I'm coming right back,"[/color] Shaula said to them, [color=0072bc]"Don't do anything stupid without me, got it?"[/color] She ran back to her house, hoping the portal wouldn't close without her. If she wanted to figure out how to fix all this, going through was her best option. Climbing down the ladder to her bunker, Shaula grabbed a backpack and stuffed it full of canned food, water bottles, a can opener, a flashlight, and of course, a large bag of Orgone emitters that she had kept in there just for emergencies. She locked the door and headed back to find that the others had already left. The edges of the portal were shimmering and trembling, like it was straining just to hold itself open - she didn't have much time. Shaula ran, jumped through the portal, and - She landed, nearly headfirst, onto a hard, rocky surface just as the portal snapped shut behind her. It lead to a dark, underground cavern, with passages branching off in every direction and spurts of fire lighting the room. There was some shouting and a lot of "nopes", but Shaula didn't pay much attention to them, as a giant, flaming spider was barely ten feet away from her. It had great, hairy legs and venomous pincers that looked like they could rip a person in half. The spider lumbered around in a blind rage, trying to extinguish itself against the wall while avoiding the fire Jason shot at it. Shaula tried to stand up but couldn't. She hadn't completely made it through the portal in time - it had cut off her legs. Between that and the spider, she started panicking, but then she saw something extraordinary: her legs were slowly reforming themselves, as though the water knew what shape to take. Before they could reform, however, the spider leapt at the group in a last-ditch effort to kill them - Shaula was barely able to roll out of the way in time. If not for it being on fire, it would have been impossible to see where the spider was. Unfortunately for Shaula, she didn't realize that until after she panicked and shot it with water.
