CHAPTER 3, MEET OLIVIA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wha- WHO'S THERE? Elliott turned around suddenly to find... no one. Not a single soul. "OK... must be my imagination." He started to leave. "WAIT, PLEASE HELP ME!" the voice exclaimed. "OK, OK, fine. must not be my imagination." Elliott walked back into the room. "So where are you?" "I'm... in a strange place." Elliott looked around. "Yeah, I see" "No, it's cramped and dark in here... it's like I'm... between dimensions!" "I see, hey, what's this hand circle thing here?" Elliott touched the weird hand circle. (I mean, who wouldn't?) But suddenly... " WHAT THE HECK?!?!?! WHY ARE MY ARMS FOLDED?!?!" Elliott's arms were suddenly folded, very geometrical, and 5 feet long. They were also flexible. "Wait. I think that's the ticket out! Is there any bit of the wall peeling?" the mysterious voice said. "WHY ARE YOU ASKING THAT? CAN'T YOU SEE THAT... Forget it. Anyway, there IS!" Elliott replied. "Then grab it, and pull!" And Elliott did just that. When he finished pulling, the voice had been revealed: a yellow origami girl. Elliott stopped and looked at her. His eyes fluttered. He was so surprised, he didn't even realize his arms were unfolded, and back to their original size. He smiled a bit, he blushed, he- "Oh, um hello!" Elliott jumped. "Oh um, *shakes head quickly* hi. Who... are you?" "I'm Olivia!" She said. "And your name is Elliott, right?" "Yea, it is!" Olivia looked around. "Sorry you had to do that. My brother trapped me in the wa-" No no, It's ok." Elliott interrupted. "Let's get out of here" They only walked 5 feet before they found something else. "What's that?" Olivia announced. "It's... a hammer. This might be the one Mario and Luigi used on THEIR adventure!" Elliott replied, picking the hammer up. "I think we might need it just in case." "Good thinking!" Olivia replied. They looked around, hoping to find a way out ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TO BE CONTINUED
