They walked over to a guy with dark hair; he turned, making the girl realise it was in fact Matt. "Hey Matt," Steve said, tapping him on the back. Matt smiled. "Hey Steve, hey Scar," Matt said, smiling. They stood talking, the strobbing lights flashing down at them. A guy with light brown hair ran up to three teens. "Matt, Steve, Scarlet, you guys have to come see this!" He told the group before turning and running through the crowd. Scarlet frowned but rushed after him to catch up, Steven and Matt following close behind her.
The teens followed him through the woods and down a hill. "Check that out," He said pointing to a hole, Scarlet looked over at Steve and Matt, who were both staring, wide eyed.
"What is it?" Matt asked, Scarlet stared at, well, she wasn't quite sure what it was. Scarlet continued to look down at it.
"Will you two get my cousin? He's got a camera, I think he'd wanna get this," Matt said to us, staring down at the hole.
Steven and Scarlet shrugged and went for looking Matt's cousin. Scarlet had seen him around a few times, Matt had pointed him out to her, but she'd never really talked to him.
"Is that him?" Scarlet asked Steven, gesturing towards a kid slumped over by a tree.
They walked over, kneeling down next to him. "Andrew, with the camera, can we use that thing?" Steven asked, "We found the craziest shit and we wanna get it on camera," Steven told him.
"Oh. It's not really..." Andrew trailed off. "I'm Andrew" He told us, Scar gave a slight smile; he reminded her of a small puppy.
"I'm Steve," He introduced holding his hand out. Andrew sniffed. "I know," He replied, glancing at Scarlet then looking back at Steven. "This is Scarlet," Steven said introducing her. She smiled at him, giving him a small wave. "Matt told us to come look for you, we'd like to use your camera," Steven said glancing down at the camera.
"We have something we think you'd really like to see," Scarlet said, trying to convince him to come along. Andrew stared at her before looking at the ground.
"Come on, we want to show you something," Steven tried to bargain with him. Andrew nodded unsurely and picked his camera up. Scarlet smiled and stood up along with Steven, and they started to lead him to the hole. "There's girls everywhere and your outside by a tree?" Steven questioned jokingly. Scarlet genty pushed his shoulder. Steven smiled at her and lead them towards the woods. "I'm just really picky," Andrew stated. Scarlet let out a laugh, causing them both to look at her. She looked down.
"Well meet Scarlet, just your type," Steven said, winking at her, she rolled my eyes- he was always trying to set her up.
"He's kidding," Scarlet reassured Andrew who nodded slowly.
"Where are we going?" Andrew asked Scarlet quietly as they walked behind Steven, who was leading the way.
"You'll see; Matt said you'd like it though," She told him glancing over to him then stepping over a log. They walked into the forest. "Do you have a light on that?" Steven asked looking Andrew. "Erm, yeah," He said, pushing a button, causing a bright light to appear from the camera, lighting the way. The teens continued to walk through.
"Now I remember- Andrew Detmer, you were in my freshman homeroom; you always had a grey zip up hoodie," Steve told Andrew. Scar shook her head; he could always remember things- he found it funny to tell her if she'd worn an outfit twice no matter how long ago it had been. "You remember that?" Andrew asked, shocked. Scarlet walked along side him, dodging things on the forest floor. "Yeah, I got a thing for faces, it's why I'm going into politics," Steve said, looking awfully proud of himself.
"Matt?" Steven called into the darkness. "Matt where are you?" Scarlet shouted. They saw Matt wave his arms and the flashlight around.
"I see you," Steve shouted to Matt as we ran towards him. "Where's everyone else?" Scar asked Matt as they got closer. Matt gave a small shrug, not really caring.
"They left," He shouted back. She heard Andrew ask what 'it' was from behind her.
"Is it making that sound?" Steve asked, as they rushed to the hole. They leaned down and listened. Andrew walked over, much less excited then the others were.
"Listen," Scarlet told Andrew as he stood behind her. "No, you gotta get closer," Steve insisted, pushing Andrew down to the ground. Andrew mumbled, as he lay on the ground next to Scarlet.
They all moved back from the hole as a high pitched noise echoed through the woods. "How creepy is that?" Steve exclaimed, moving back towards the whole.
"Is the camera getting this?" Scarlet asked Andrew, causing him to look up at her.
"I dunno, probably," He answered shrugging. Steve and Scarlet both stood up, brushing off their jeans.
"I'm gonna go down there," Steve announced, staring into the hole. Andrew started to talk them out of it but they weren't listening. Steve jumped into the hole and Scarlet stared after him. "Shit, he's like a ninja!" Scarlet stated, shaking her head.
"Matt, what are you doing? Are you serious?" Andrew complained, frowning from behind his camera. Scarlet watched as Matt jumped into the hole.
Scarlet looked at Andrew. "You coming?" She asked moving to the edge of the hole. Andrew's eyes widened.
"You're going down there?" He asked, looking scared. Scarlet shrugged sitting at the edge of the hole.
"Someone has to keep them in line," She replied, jumping in.
Scarlet heard Andrew jump in behind her. "Damn I should of worn flats," She complained, trying to dodge the water that ran along the floor. Andrew rushed to Scarlet's side and she sighed as her foot fell into a puddle. "You okay?" Andrew asked, shining the light on her. "Yeah, just got a wet foot," Scar replied, Andrew nodded, watching as she contiued walking forward. Steve popped and shouting 'Argh'. Scarlet smiled and hit his arm.
"Does it go any deeper?" Andrew asked, and Scarlet chuckled realising it actually sounded dirty, Andrew looked at her as she laughed.
"Yeah, it goes a lot further," Steve replied, causing Scarlet to laugh again.
"Look at the walls- it's like a straight shot down," Matt mentioned as they all walked further down the tunnel, "It's like forty to fifty feet," Matt told us.
"Yeah, just don't mention it," Andrew mumbled. Scarlet looked over to him. "Scared?" She asked, shoving her hands into the pockets of her Superman hoodie, Andrew gave a small nod as we continued further into the cave.
"Holy shit," Steve stated from ahead.
"Matt, seriously, I can't breathe," Andrew complained
The four teenagers finally got to the end. They stared at the rock like thing coming out of the cave. "Wow," Scarlet whispered, stepping towards it.
"Matt, can we get out of here, please?" Andrew begged, sounding like her was about to cry. Scarlet gave him a reassuring smile, but walked closer to the rock.
"Is this coming up on the camera?" Matt asked ignoring Andrew's plea's.
"It's messing with the camera, I don't really wanna film," Andrew explained as Scarlet stood behind Steve as he inspected the rock.
"Dude, I'll buy you a new one," Matt told Andrew, walking over to the rock as well.
Andrew walked over to the rock, as the high pitched sounds continued to echo through the caves. "Matt, look at this," Scarlet said, beckoning Matt over to watch what seemed like veins, moving in the rock. "Dude, no way," Andrew said, as Steve reached out to touch the rock. Scarlet moved to the side, standing next to Andrew as she watched. "This is awesome!" Steve said, a slight smile on his face.
"Oh, your nose!" Scarlet exclaimed. Steve reached up and touched the blood running from his nose as he started to sway. He fell to the ground. "Steve?" Scarlet shouted, worried about her friend. Matt started to breath heavily, swaying just as Steve had before. Scarlet paniced as she felt her heart start to race. "We, have to, get out, of here," Matt wheezed, as he grabbed one of Steve's arms, Scarlet stumbled forward to grab his other arm, as Andrew stared at the now pulsating rock as it started to ooze and change colour. Matt and Scarlet tugged Steve back the way they came as Andrew tried to fix his camera as he stumbled after them.
"Shit," Andrew cursed as he hit the ground, he rolled his eyes due to his own clumsiness, he quickly scrambled to his feet as a high pitch noise echoed through the cave. Andrew ran after Matt and Scarlet soon forgetting about his camera.
The three teens just about made it out of the hole before another high pitched noise rattled through the cave and knocked the three unconscious.
