Knots in a Magic Thread

A/N: Sorry about the wait, my keyboard broke and my friend typed this. But her computer froze when she typed it, so she had to retype it. And now my mom got a new keyboard. Yes! Reminder: Stress does odd things to people. Riley is very odd.

Riley

My foot itched. Really bad. I went down to scratch it and screamed. The floor was incased in brown fire. Think, girl, think!

"Guys, this is a test of your self-control. Find a high object and get on it. If you don't wanna, look down. Then ya will," I said, keeping my voice calm. Scary.

"Riley, you are very weird," Mina commented.

"And you are just now realizing it?" Cassie shot back.

"Whoa. Look, Riley's serious!" Emily was terrified. Yay! Em believes me! Oh, wait, bad situation. Why me?

"Em, stop it! Don't try to tell her!" Mina hissed. Emily dunked Mina's head so she could see.

"Oh..." Mina let out a very loud inappropriate word that starts with F. We, as in all but Numair, who was across the room, snoring away, were sinking into the floor.

"Can I wake up now?" Cassie whimpered.

"Cass we are awake! Mina you're the tallest, do you feel any floor?"

"Yup," Mina muttered.

"Kick around" Cassie ordered, waist down submerged in the brown thing. Mina sighed.

"Yow!" Mina howled in pain.

"What's wrong?" Daine asked, trying to pull herself up.

"My foot rammed into a railing!"

"A metal railing?" I asked.

"No, a chocolate one."

"Yay! I love chocolate!"

"Riley!"

"It was metal? I was right!" I crowed. Mina scowled and vanished.

"Mina!" Did I do that? Nah, Cassie vanished. Uh-oh. "Grab on," Emily, Daine ,and I vanished.
