Edmond chased Jane across the garden and into the green house.
Knowing she was hiding somewhere inside. He walked slowly looking for her and once noticing her under one of the tables he crouched down to see her.
"Finders Keepers and I found it!" said Jane with a very matter of fact tone
"Yeah, In my garden" replied Edmond in the same mocking voice.
Jane started to loosen her grip on the prize she was holding so tightly.
As her hand opened she unveiled the crystal pendant she had found; as soon as Edmond saw it he snatched it from her hand and ran.
"Finders keepers!" He yelled over his shoulder.
Jane immediately jumped up and chased him she was just enough behind him to miss him duck
behind what looked like the remnants of a wall.
Edmond breathed in deeply trying to catch his breath and tried to remain as silent as possible.
As he watched Jane, who was very close to where he was hiding, look for him. Soon Edmonds breathing evened out and he thought that he had gotten away with the crystal pendant.
Suddenly, he heard a loud creak beneath him and then an even louder crack. He let out a cry of panic and fear when the ground that he had been standing on gave way beneath him and he felt himself fall.
Falling for what seemed like eternity as his small body smashed against the walls of the stone tunnel that he had found himself in.
His skin being scraped against the jagged corners of where the stone had broken off and the ruff walls rubbing his skin raw.
When he finally hit the bottom it knocked the wind out of him and he instantly felt a sharp pain in his left arm that was now twisted
underneath him. In an instant he felt his whole world start to spin he was fighting it so hard and so encompassed in it that he
didn't even hear Jane calling him from above, he just shut his eyes tight and prayed that it would stop as the darkness overcame him.

With a gasp Rodney McKay sat straight up in bed sending his laptop, which he had left on his lap when he had fallen asleep, flying through the air.
Panic completely taken hold of him, the feeling of falling still in his stomach, the darkness of the tunnel still in his eyes.
He passed his hands over his face trying to get himself to focus on the now, he had a cold sweat on his forehead his breathing was rasped and shallow. He tried desperately to get his hands to stop shaking as the dream he had, had slowly gave way to the
waking world.
"It was just a dream" he said to himself, his voice sounding both shocked and amazed.
It was the most realistic dream he had ever had. He felt like he was there, like he was that boy. He could still smell the flowers and with a shiver he felt the damp, coldness of the tunnel, but the pain was the most realistic to him, so real that he preceded to look for all the scrapes and bruises he expected to find. He was just about to check his arm to see if he had broken it when he realized what he was doing.
"It wasn't real!" He tried to convince himself.
Then as if he had to prove it to someone, he jumped out of
bed as fast as he could, but just then a wave of dizziness came over him so strong that it pushed him pack on his bed.
He reassured himself that it was just because he had gotten up to fast but still the dizziness clung to him. So he tried once again, slowly this time, to get up.
Slowly heeased himself off his bed being very careful not to upset the delicate balance of the dizziness in his head.
When he finally stood up he clung to his chair that was next to his bed, closed his eyes, and tried again to calm himself down from the fears that still over whelmed him. When he finally opened his eyes he decided that a good shower was what he needed. So, slowly and carefully he made his way to the bathroom. As he moved he felt all the pains from the fall that he had dreamt, he didn't even try to move the arm that he thought he had broken. His whole body ached. He tried to convince himself that it was just from the terrible mattress that the military people forced him to sleep on, which he had already complained about. He made a mental note to talk to Carson and see if he could some how make a medical request for a new one.
When Rodney finally reached the bathroom door he placed one hand on the wall for balance and the other he touched the panel to open the door. Just as the door slid open he heard his radio beep, with a moan he turned his head towards the sound now realizing that it was on the other side of the room. Turning a little to quickly he felt as if the room had jumped and turned on its side, his eyes unable to focus on the now spinning room he felt the bile rise in his throat. Unable to hold it down he emptied his stomach until his hands shook and his thought stung. Feeling the pain, the dizziness, and now the awful taste in his mouth over whelmed him. With the room still spinning all he could do was close his eyes and pray that it would all go away. As he did, he felt darkness creep over him and feeling as bad as he did, he welcomed it and knew no more.
