"No!" Akurle cried. (shes not crying, she cried out, like yelling) She was not going into a mysterious dark portal in the museum. No way. The portal could lead anywhere, maybe a few thousand years beck in time, or something worse. Sirens blared overhead, making her ears sting.

"There has to be another way!" Akurle yelled. The water was rushing toward her, and cracked had appeared all over the walls and ceiling. Akurle was about to turn and run toward the door, when a huge chunk of the ceiling came crashing down over the exit. Akurle jumped out of the way just in time, but a smal rocks managed to smack her in the face. Akurle topped over, blook streaming from a cut on her forehead.

Akurle looked around for her freinds. Everyone has disappeared. Akurle thought she saw a flash of black fur in the rushing water. Thousands upon thousands of gallons of water was charging toward her, promising instant death to anyone who got caught in it. Akurle made her decision. She charged toward the portal and leapt through.

That's when everything went wrong. (not that it wasn't wrong enough!)

Right before making contact with the portal, another chunk of ceiling collapsed right above her. A big chunk of brick landed right on top of the portal and made it smash through the floor. Akurle fell with it and landed in a pile of towels, which made up for the fact that she was almost crushed by thousands of bricks.

Akurle got up groggily and found herself in what looked like a storage room. There were mops and brooms leaning against the wall, boxes, piles of bubble wrap, and other stuff like that. Landing in towels was fine, but Akurle would much rather have landed in the bubble wrap.

Chunks of stone and brick lay scattered on the floor. There was a big hole in the ceiling of the storage room, and a big chunk of stone lay on top of the portal which was, amazingly, still in contact, apart from the large crack in the side.

Suddenly water began pouring through the hole in the ceiling. The room began to slowly fill with water. Akurle rushed over to the portal, which was partially leaning on the wall. Akurle grabbed a brick and threw it off the portal. The bricks were incredibly heavy, which just made it even worse. Water was rising quickly, and was now up to her knees. Another hole appeared in the ceiling and more water poured through.

Akurle grabbed another chunk of bricks and barely managed to push it off the portal. She pushed with all her might and the bricks tumbled off the frame of the portal and fell into the water. Akurle grabbed another brick and accidentally dropped it into the portal, where it disappeared into the portal. Hopefully it didn't smack anyone's face on the other side.

The water was now high enough to where it was leaking into the portal. This drained the water, but more was still pouring in so it didn't make much a difference. Another chunk fell of he ceiling and the water rose dramatically once more.

The water was not above Akurle head. Akurle grabbed her sword from under her worn (which somehow managed to stay on, magic maybe?) and used to to push away bricks while she kept her head above the water. It was hard, but at least she was breathing.

Another chunk fell off the ceiling and the whole place flooded. Akurle took a deep breath and dove uderwater. Using all the strength she had left, she pushed the last chunk of brick. It wouldn't budge. Akurle wanted to scream, but that would be useless. She dug her back paws into the partal frame and grabbed the chunk of bricks with her front paws. Then, using the portal frame as an anchor, she pushed as hard as she could. The bricks slowly began to move, then slid away a little faster.

Akurle was already out of breath and her body screamed for her to open her mouth. Akurle used all her strength to resist that urge. But Akurle's mouth opened the slightest bit and she sucked in a huge gulp of water. She started coughing, but couldn't get any air in her lungs. Black spots danced around her eyes and her vision dimmed and blurred. She was going to die in here.

Akurle grabbed the rim of the portal and realized there was enough space for her to squeeze through. With a single push, Akurle flew in. And everything went black.

For a moment, she thought she had fainted. Then, she thought she was dead. But she still felt pain, and her lungs burned. She must have made it into the portal. Then Akurle felt a sichening lurch and she felt a wave of nausea. Then there was a flash of light and akurle tumbled onto the ground.

She immediately started gagging and coughing up water. After a moment Akurle finally manged to get some air in her lungs and took a deep breath. She felt dizzy and sick, and her vision was still blurry. She had bloody cuts all over her. She went into another coughing fit and her vision slowly came back.

After what felt like hours, Akurle sat up and observed her surroundings. She was in a dark forest with impossibly tall pine trees with brownish needles. The ground was wet and black, with brown grass everywhere. Everything was dark and gloomy. Her friends stood beside her.

Akurle stood up and looked behind her. The portal was sitting behind her, gushing out water that soaked the ground. The crack in the frame had grown bigger and had a pulsing blue light. Akurle took a step forward and the crack expanded, and the portal flickered.
