Sylvia's POV:

Almost immediately, the sticky swamp mud engulfed my body, weighing and sucking me down into the pit. My instincts told me to struggle, but soon I realized that it only made me sink faster.

After panicking for a moment, I stopped and stabilized myself, refusing to move an inch.

He then pulled on the vine again, causing me to sink deeper into the swamp. I felt that something was off, but I still pretended to be calm and asked him for help anyway. "That's fine. Can you just pull me out now?"

Just then, Peter tossed the vine away from him. The innocent look on his face was replaced with mockery. "Pull you out? In your dreams."
