Holly looked around her.  Everywhere it was dark, and wet…wait!  She was underwater.  Above her, the edge of a steep plateau loomed, dark and jagged.  But how could she breathe?

I see your face before my eyes,

I’m falling into darkness

She looked, and in front of her was a picture of Artemis, staring at her with disgust, and hatred.

Why must I fight to stay alive,

Heroes falling

Wake me can you hear me calling? 

This had to be a nightmare!  How else could she breathe underwater?  Her hand strayed to her neck, and she felt oddly spaced ridges flapping wildly for oxygen.  She had gills.

Out of darkness they come crawling

She saw several pairs of eyes, red, yellow, and some not even pairs at all.  They stared at her, a newcomer, with menace, and hunger.   Surface dwellers tasted good.

… Here I am, I am lost in your land
And I hope you will be - creeping in my soul
 

She was completely lost.  All sense of direction, up or down was gone.

… Shadows fall, let me out, hear my call
And I always believe - creeping in my soul 

She yellled into the black water, but the sound instead of carrying, stopped short in front of her.  This was weird water.

I fade away into the night
My eyes are closing in

Her skin changed color to match her surroundings.  Not even water sprites could do that.
 

Shadows fleeing from the light
My nightmares can begin. 

She saw many-tentacled shadows fleeing from the small light of the lighter water reflecting off her suit, which now seemed a tangable part of her skin.

Wake me can’t you hear me calling
Out of darkness they come crawling 

… Here I am, I am lost in your land
And I hope you will be - creeping in my soul
… Shadows fall, let me out, hear my call
And I always believe - creeping in my soul 

Creeping in my soul - it’s getting out of control
I got to find my escape and get out of this black hole 

She peered around again.  The only escape was up- up to the lighter waters above the high plateau.

Justice in the world is hard to find
Time has come… Got to make up my mind

It was stay here and die, or swim up, get the bends, and die, or maybe she would get torn apart by the many predators.

No matter how deep or remote you hide
All my thoughts seem caught up inside

Creeps from the deep deep’s gonna be freaking up your mind
Creeps from the deep’s gonna be feeding off the spine 

She started swimming up the plateau, the predators in hard pursuit.  She tore up and out of the hands of the black water, which was trying desperately to tear her back down to the Pits of the comdemned.  But she swam up to freedom, passing a strange city under a giant bubble on her way up.  What the heck?   She thought. But she swam away to freedom and salvation. 

… Here I am, I am lost in your land
And I hope you will be - creeping in my soul
… Shadows fall, let me out, hear my call
And I always believe - creeping in my soul

No, Holly was not dead, so don’t think that.  She was sent there during a fight with Opal, who was also comdemned to the Pit; yes that P is supposed to be capital, that’s the name of the place, ok?  This is put in crossovers, and I give a thank-you to Bionicle.com, which created the Pit, and gave me the lyrics.

R&R pleez!
