"A bit. No tentacles though, but Diego was special, so it worked for him too." He said with a chuckle about the code names. It did feel better trying to keep things light. This darkness that was around them and how dark it was through the hole was really upsetting.
They fortunately came from, what his father could only assume, portals under the skin, but they weren't at all sure how his powers worked other than they did. Though Ben didn't show them off often. Most people felt sick by seeing it.
The water seemed to disappear into the hole, and he noticed that it stopped flowing from the walls in the hall too. "I didn't her it hit bottom, but look. The water in here seems to have stopped as wel--Rikki!" He gasped, reaching out a bit too late to try and grab her. His hand seemed to be inchs away from her arm as he grabbed out for her, and realized he missed completely.
"RIKKI!" He yelled after her, hearing her scream and then it was cut off completely. "Rikki! Shit, fuck... " he cursed, then yelled out for her again. He was starting to call out again into the void of the door when a few things s tarted to happen. One, the giggling started to rush in on him. Soft at first that he almost missed it, but then louder, like several children were coming around to circle him. Then he felt as if something was trying to close the door on him. He put a hand up to stop it from hitting him, but it fought him.
And third, the hall way, where he thought a door HAD been when they first found the hall, burst with a flood of water rushing down the hall. He cursed again, feeling the door trying to close on him, and the water rushing his way. The children laughing.
Swiftly he slipped to the edge, feet dangling, looking up to see the water coming his way and... he slipped down into the darkness, his heart sinking as he did. He hated the dark. Not that he was scared of it, but any time Klaus was too high to see him he felt in the dark. Felt trapped. This felt worse then that.
But he was committed now, as he slipped into the dark, water hit the open door way, splashing after him, but then the door closed, cutting off the sounds. ALL sounds. The void was stifling, and even his own scream cut off as he fell, and fell, and fell...
He fell in silence, his hands coming to his eras, hurting, it was so dark it was deafening. He started to hyperventilate a bit, breath coming fast as he panicked. Too dark. TOO DARK. Too silent. Like Klaus was gone. Like HE was gone. Maybe this is what it really feels like to cross over. Nothingness.
And then he felt it. A shift in the darkness. And suddenly he was in over his head in water, again. Crashing feet and back first, into the water, feeling it swell over his head, and into his mouth and nose. He choked on it, eyes opening to see again. Not blackness anymore, but water all around.
He struggled and kicked, trying to find the surface, breaking it a moment after and coughing, arms flailing a moment as he slipped back under and choked again. He fought to reach the top once more, needing air.
