No reviews? Aw. Well, maybe this chapter is worth a review or two.


I opened my eyes but I wasn't in the room. I couldn't describe where I was, the scene kept changing. First it was a mountain, then a few seconds later it was a river, then a plain, and it just continued to change. Nancy appeared in front of me. "Did I just do this?" she mumbled.

"Uh, what's happening?" I asked.

"Not sure...did you find the ninja?" she questioned.

I nodded. "Yeah. Did you get out of the Underworld?"

"Um..."

"Nancy."

"No...but this place is turn after turn and just confusing!"

I nodded. "No kidding. So this is your powers? You knock people out and then talk to them that way?"

"Seriously, I don't know," Nancy said, looking down. "I was just thinking that I really needed to talk to you, then my vision went dark and here I am! I can still see Caleb...kinda. It's like wearing extra dark sunglasses with a screen in a lens."

"The really cool kind from on TV?"

"Pretty much!"

I looked around at the changing landscape. "Any chance you can let me go back to me and you going to you?"

"Uh...yes, but first I need to tell you something," Nancy said. "Caleb and I are in a large room with a giant pillar. That's not all...maybe you guys should come see it."

I frowned. "Please don't get caught. We'll come find you. I'm sure Lucas or Zoey knows where you are."

Nancy nodded. "Trust me, we're hidden well. Just...hurry." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then the landscape was gone and she faded away.


I slowly opened my eyes. "Are you okay, Sis?" Lloyd asked softly.

"I...where..."

"We didn't go far. Lucas and Zoey led us to a safe place. We kinda all needed rest," Lloyd told me.

"How long was I out?" I asked.

"About...thirty minutes," Lloyd replied. "We've been right here for about twenty."

I sat up and looked around. It was a small room, lit slightly like the one cell that the skeletons tossed Lucas, Nancy, Caleb and I in. There was a small hole that seemed to be a secret entrance, it was translucent and had hinges on the top. It was big enough for someone to fit through, obviously.

"Nancy wants us to meet her somewhere," I whispered. "A room with a large pillar. She said there's something there that we need to see." I looked down for a moment. "Lloyd, what if Caleb and Nancy get caught?"

Lloyd put his arm around me. "Echo, we'll get to them. Help me get the others up."

I nodded and crawled over to Alex. I was about to shake her awake when she quietly said, "I'm awake. It's hard to sleep in the Underworld." She opened her eyes and sat up.

I nodded and looked over to the others. The three of us woke the others up. I went to Lucas and slowly shook him, not wanting him to think the skeletons were trying to get him. "Lucas," I said softly.

Lucas tightened his eyes for a moment before looking up at me. His eyes flashed teal and he bolted up. "Zoe," he said.

Zoey jumped up. "I'm awake! I'm awake! I'm awake!"

"Hey, calm down," Lucas told her. His eyes glowed a bright teal and I felt a quick, sharp ring in my head. The talk between Nancy and I replayed in my head, quickly but at a speed that I could grasp. I know what room Nancy was talking about, and we plan on seeing what she described, this link should help? Lucas's voice said in my head.

"Link?" Jay questioned aloud.

A telepathic link, Jay, Zane informed him silently.

I learn more about my powers all the time, Lucas told us. I thought I could only make a one on one link, but as you can tell, I can do more.

Where was this telepathic stuff when we really needed it? Alex asked.

Except I didn't need them back then. I always knew what you were thinking.

Alex's face blushed red. Shut up!

Come on, we need to go, Lloyd reminded us.

Tove vanished and a moment later thought, All clear. We crawled out of the exit. Time to see what the skeletons were up to.


Pictures for Into the Underworld are on my Instagram MeddlinMegs and my Facebook Page Mor-Inc...or they will be once I draw them. So pick a scene! Also, pick a scene from A Powerful Echo! Remember, I'm a novice artist so please don't make it complicated and pick the scene where she's fighting the serpentine or when the skeletons attack her. I can't draw that.

Review and don't flame.
