"Go! GO!" Jerry shoved at Dylon to make him crawl faster.

"I'm going!!" Dylon crawled as fast as he could until he was out of the passage.

And falling into deep water with a loud splash! Behind Jerry, the sound of stone grinding against stone filled the passage. He would find the way back blocked. Ahead is a small dark cave, with a low ceiling and a waterline just below the passage's floor. There is no immediately discernible bottom to the water.
In the kitchen, everything remains quiet and peaceful.

Dylon yelped short before plunging into water head first. He turned around and up until his head broke the surface again, taking in a large breath. "Hoo! Wow.. um... Okay! So this is NOT the kitchen..."

"What??" Jerry yelped just as the stones grinded behind him, "NO NO WAIT-" Well, there was certainly no going back for the booze now. He scrambled back away from the stones toward the sound of water and before he could stop himself, he fell in as well with a splash. He coughed and gurgled, crying out in pain as the water pressure sent jolts up his wounded ankle. Frantically, he scrambled to grab the edge of the hold they had fallen from. "I KNEW IT D-DAMMIT IT WAS SOCKS WHO DOESN'T LIKE SOCKS WHO-GRUBBLEBGRBL-!!"

"J-jerry?" Dylon knew Jerry had a bad ankle, which had to be hard to tread water with. Heck, his wrist was still near impossible to allow to do the same. "C'mere, man. I got you."
The Moon trainee swam a little closer, allowing Jerry to hang on if he needed it. "Swim Team in High School, Jer. Just hang on till we find shallow water. Or land. Or... where's the kitchen?"

Jerry gurgled, coughing as Dylan helped keep him above water, "Where... where the heck did this come from?? Can... can your wrist... grbbllle"

((sorry for trailin behind))Matt hadn’t said much of anything after stepping through the portal, he had yet to even summon his weapon. Partially because he was trying to avoid the whole comment of being a fairy boy and dealing with the stigma of being a pretty twinkle toes at the moment. Besides it was Scotland home of the fairies.
As they had entered the cottage, Matt did everything to ignore the dying figure of the rabbit. It was almost as if he was going against everything he had trained himself to do. It was true that a rabbit was not a human being however just watching something die without even trying was tearing him apart. There was, however literally nothing he could do, nothing to save it. When it did die a wash of relief waved over him as guilt settled not far behind.
The rest of the cottage was not impressive, the same somewhat creepiness that belonged to some well prepared serial killer still lingered about. As event continued to unfold, Sasha and Wash had left to find aid for Jerry and Dylon. If it hadn’t been the drop Matt would have rushed in there to help, though likely to have ended up hurting himself in the end.
“So…. Evan… right?” Matt asked trying to strike up a conversation with a hunter he had never met, “I wonder if the Jerry and Dylon are ok?” He asked as he thought about how they had yet to hear from them.
“YOU GUYS OK DOWN THERE?” He yelled leaning towards the entrance of the dark and dismal passage way.

No reply came from the cellar.
Underground there was a small flicker of light down in the water. A few moments later, another.

"Don't worry about me, Jerry. Just hang on, okay?" Dylon assured the man, keeping his head above the water. Light flickered below the water, one and then another. "There's something down there."
"Jerry? Hold onto the edge of the passage opening to stay afloat okay? I'm just gunna swim down real fast and take a look."

There was dead silence in return.
s**t.... Matt thought looking still at the darkness. He could go in and try to follow but that would leave Evan alone.
In a cottage.
That looked as if it belonged to some estrange serial killer.
s**t....
"Should we go in?" Matt asked looking at Evan for his reply, or concern, or possibly the frightened look on his face.

"Are... are you sure??" It wasn't as though Jerry could think of anything else to do. "Alright but... but don't go anywhere without me, alright? Look real quick and come back!" He babbled quickly before he swallowed more water. Carefully trying to keep his leg from moving, he side-stroked clumsily to the wall again, gripping as tight as he could to the stone.

About ten feet down, there's a good sized hole, large enough to swim through. It opens into what seems to be a larger body of water.

"Right," Evan replied distractedly as the other Hunter addressed him. He hadn't heard anything from the secret passage in the cellar for quite a while. It was a little worrying, but maybe Jerry and the other guy just decided to do the smart thing and conserve their energy. Then again, it was Jerry and some kid who probably hadn't been out of the pod long enough to know better. Evan squinted into the darkness of the cellar, counting the seconds between the time the other guy called out for their missing teammates and the moment it became apparent that no answer would be forthcoming. "We have our orders," Evan replied distractedly, without conviction; he could be convinced to disobey them if the situation required it. "I don't know how we would even fit down there, though."
