Hitting Rock Bottom
"Trees, trees, trees..."
After a while of searching, the girl had grown bored of seeing the same green and white scenery of the forest and river. It seemed ages that she had been walking, although truth be told, it had been barely an hour.
"Why is this place so quiet?!" She screamed, grabbing and tugging her long pink locks of hair in frustration.
If boredom could kill, then this was it.
"Calm down, Kira!" Another girl giggled, long black hair draped over her shoulders ever so elegantly, the bluish tint making them shine uniquely.
"BUT IT'S TOO QUIEEEEET!!!" Her friend, Kira, whined. "Sapphire, I need something to do! Like, RIGHT NOW!"
Just as the words had left her lips, she gasped and jumped out of the way, back flipping to safety.
"Who the heck is that?!" Sapphire shrieked.
A weird roundish man stood in front of them, another similar one hiding behind him. They both tilted their strange shaped heads to either side and grinned mischievously.
Their feet bounded the ground as they charged straight at the girls. One flew in with a kick, but Sapphire grabbed him by the ankle and twirled him around before flipping him over her shoulder. The man fell over with a loud crash and the ground cracked with his weight.
Kira evaded palm thrusts from the other one, eyes locked onto his round glasses, but dodging his attacks with precision. As soon as an opening showed, she reached back and grabbed her bow and an arrow from the leather quiver on her back, and shot him right on the shoulder.
"Alright. Who are you?" Sapphire asked again, sitting on top the oversized belly of her attacker to keep him from getting up.
"We are..." They both began.
"Kotori," Kira's attacker introduced.
"And Hotori!" Sapphire's attacker exclaimed.
"You're goats." Kira pointed out bluntly.
Hotori huffed angrily and shook his fist in the air. "How rude! We are not goats!" He said. Kotori nodded in mutual understanding and shook his fist as well. "We are the great Satori's right hand men!" He proclaimed.
Sapphire frowned at this statement. "Hold on, you both can't be his right hand man!"
Kira nodded, "Yeah! You can't have two right hands! That's weird!"
The goat men glanced at each other in worry, not sure how to solve their problem.
As the two began to bicker about who was the right hand man, Sapphire and Kira were already walking away.
They made their way silently through the quiet forest in hopes of finding their exit. But the silence was unbearable so Kira collapsed after half an hour of walking.
A man walked up to them and looked confused, "Kira? Sapphire?"
"Zoro, heyyy!" Sapphire cheered and ran over to give him a high five.
"Bet he's lost again!" Kira laughed. Zoro said nothing and just looked away. "HOLY CRAP I'M RIGHT!?" She laughed again, louder.
"Shut up! You're lost too, aren't you?!" He snapped angrily.
So, with their new traveling companion, the group continued to follow the river upstream. Zoro kept wandering off to a random direction whenever one of the girls took their eyes off him, but would always bring him back the right track.
"How can you get lost when walking straight?" Sapphire giggled as he blushed in embarrassment.
He was about to yell about how they were the ones going off in the wrong path, when they made eye contact with a much larger group from the other side of the river.
"Hey! Over here!" Domino called out and waved to them.
"Hi guys!" Kira waved back.
The two groups chatted as they walked, only to be met with a dead end. White and calm waters cascaded into the sound of roars as the river descended into a high fall. Kid looked down the cliff with a frown. "I can't see the bottom." He said.
"Don't say that!" Marie squeaked and hid behind Teddy. "I'll get nervous!"
Zoro looked down as well. "We could always jump." He openly suggested.
Everyone looked at him like he was some kind of moron. "Are you suicidal?!" Teddy said.
Zoro shrugged, not really caring since he knew what was going to happen next.
Law stayed silent in thought, thinking for any possible way out. Luffy groaned as his stomach rumbled like a stampede was running around inside. Mika stood at the edge of the cliff with Kid, looking down to check if she can see the bottom.
Sapphire was trying to calm Kira as the girl was getting excited from Zoro's suggested idea. Marie cried about not wanting to jump off to her death.
Teddy sighed, why did she have to be put in this mess?
Zoro glanced at Law, who was still figuring a way out, and sighed. "There really is no other way out. If we go back then we have no where to go. We'll just end up in the starting line." He said.
Mika was about to speak up, but then paused, hearing a faint call from below them.
A hard shove pushed all of them off the cliff and they were sent falling down the drop. Screams rang through the air as the group yelled at Luffy.
"DON'T PUSH US!"
Luffy ignored them and screamed happily about meat or something. Zoro sighed, he knew this was going to happen sooner or later.
Soon enough, bodies hit the bottom with a loud thud. Pain coursed through Teddy like a fire engulfing her small form.
She heard multiple indistinguishable voices around her. The last thing she heard was someone calling her name, before she blacked out.

A/N
So the chapter I wrote before this was actually better. But wattpad deleted it for some reason and I got really upset because I couldn't remember what I typed in...
Teddy: *huffs* That's what you get for being a meanie-mo! I mean, *points up at the last paragraph* You freaking killed me!!
Oh shut up before I erase your existence, Teddy.
