The zombie reached his bloody hand towards Ella and Topher who were on the ground, but something wierd happened. The zombie stopped and his body turned to dust and faded away.

Topher looked up. "What the hell..."

Ella also looked up from his chest.

"Where did the zombies go?" She asked.

"I don't know, they just turned to dust and faded away," Topher told her.

He got up and began trying to lift the branch off Ella's leg.

"I wish I was stronger..." He grunted.

Suddenly the ground started to shake.

"An earthquake again?" Topher groaned.

The ground tilted down and the branch that was on Ella's leg slipped off.

"Whoa... What's happening!?" Ella shrieked as the ground tilted more. She grabbed onto a tree for support.

The ground tilted even more and Topher lost his footing. He slipped and crashed into a big rock that was sticking out of the ground. The ground tilted again and the rock slipped a bit.

"Shit..." He whispered and looked up. Ella was looking at him with big eyes and holding onto a tree.

"Topher! Are you ok?" She called to him.

"I'm fine, but what the hell is happening!?" He replied. He then noticed the land next to Ella wasn't tipping over. "Ella! You see the land next to you?" He called to her.

She nodded.

"I think that land is safe to be on! Try to get over to it!"

Ella starred at him and shook her head. "What about you? I'm not going to leave you!" She told him.

The ground tilted again and the rock Topher was on slipped even more. He gulped. "Um...I'll try to get over there, but go without me!"

Ella hesitated but then reached her hand to the tree that was on the safe land. She grabbed it and swung herself onto the safe land. She looked down at Topher. "I'll try to help you over!" She called to him and lanked a vine off a tree. She held the vine down so Topher could climb up it. The ground tilted more and the rock slipped again. Topher carefully climbed off the rock and made his way over to the vine. He turned around just as the big rock he was on flipped over and rolled all the way down. Then he noticed people in the distance.

"Hey... I think I see Dave!" He shouted. Dave was at the edge of the land and was reaching down to someone, but Topher couldn't make out who it was. Then he notcied the rock tumbling down towards Dave.

"Oh shit!" Topher said, "DAVE! LOOK OUT!" He screamed but Dave didn't hear him. He looked back at Ella and then back at Dave. "I have to go help him!" He said and took off running down the land. He only lasted a few seconds running since the land was tilted down wards so he slipped and began tumbling down instead. Ella was running on the safe land above him and shouting at Dave to move.

The big rock then crashed into more rocks, which slowed it down a bit. Topher had a chance to catch up. He tumbled down and kept calling Dave's name. Dave finally heard him and turned around. He screamed when he saw the huge rocks sliding right towards him. He then turned swifty around and pulled up Zoey who was holding onto Mike and jumped with them out of the way. The rocks rolled off the land and into the pit, inches away from Dave, Mike and Zoey.

Topher stopped tumbling and let out a breath of relief. He then started walking down the sand towards them.

"Are you guys ok?" He asked when he reached them.

"Yeah... That was close," Dave said out of breath.

"Guys, we should get off this land and onto the safe land that Ella's on," Topher told them and pointed to Ella. They nodded and carefully made their way to Ella, who was holding down a thick vine for them to climb up. Dave and Zoey made their way up, followed by Mike and then Topher.

"Phew, is everyone alright?" Zoey asked.

"Wait... There's someone down there!" Ella cried and pointed to someone slipping down the sand trying to regain their balance.

"It's Sky!" Dave shouted and called her name.

She noticed them and tried to get to them, but the ground tilted again and she slipped more down the sand.

"She's not going to make it..." Zoey said and looked around, "I'm going to go help her, no one follow me."

"What? No!" Mike told her but it was too late. Zoey jumped down and made her way to Sky.

"ZOEY! Come back!" Mike shouted again but she ignored him. Mike got up and was about to jump, but Topher held him back.

"Sky!" Zoey called.

Sky was trying to crawl up the sand to her. "Zoey!" She cried.

Zoey held her hand out to Sky and she took it. The two girls made their way back to the others, but the ground tilted again and Sky slipped, accidentally pulling Zoey with her.

"Shit, sorry!" Sky said.

"It's fine, but we gotta hurry!" Zoey told her.

The ground tilted again and this time Zoey slipped. She crashed into Sky and they both screamed and slided down the sand towards the pit.

"NO!" Mike and Dave both shouted at once. Mike tried to scramble out of Topher's arms but he held him tight.

Zoey grabbed Sky's hand and tried to stop them from sliding any more. She managed to grab onto a stick sticking out of the sand and they came to a hault.

"Ok, we need to be quick but careful and make our way over to Ella, who's holding down a vine for us to climb, ok?" Zoey said.

Sky nodded.

Zoey carefully let go of the stick and helped Sky up. The two girls walked with shaky legs over to the vine. Finally, they reached it and Zoey let Sky climb up first. Sky was halfway up until the ground tilted again. Zoey shrieked and grabbed onto the vine to stop her from falling.

"Crap, the vine is breaking!" Dave shouted and leaned over the edge, "Hurry!"

The vine streched out as Sky made her way up, followed by Zoey. Suddenly, one piece of the vine Zoey was holding onto snapped off and she screamed and grabbed onto Sky's shoe. Sky also screamed and slipped down a bit. The vine was seconds away from snapping.

"Grab my hand!" Dave shouted and reached his arm out to Sky. She let go of the vine with one hand and held it up to him. "Almost got it..." Dave said. Just as their fingers touched, the vine snapped and broke off. Sky and Zoey screamed and fell back onto the sand.

"NOOO!" Dave, Mike, Topher and Ella all shouted at once.

Sky and Zoey screamed as they slid fast down the sand and slid right off the edge. The others watched in horror as they fell into the dark pit.

"Zoey... Sky..." Ella whispered and a tear fell down her face.

Topher starred in horror, Dave covered his face with his hands and Mike didn't move. He just starred where they had fallen.

"Mike?" Ella asked him and put her hand on his arm.

Tears formed in his eyes. "No..." He whispered.
