Hey guys. This story was inpired on the case of the Thailand boys who got trapped inside a cave a few weeks ago. I could have done a one-shot, but I had to much to put on. And I decide to do it with Lynn instead of Lincoln because I feel like it. Also, none of these characters are mine. They are all owned by Nickelodeon. Amy, Maya, Paula and Diane are all from the episode Net Gains. Without anything else to say.
LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET's GOOOOOOOOOOO
It has been one month since the Turkey Jerkies have lost the game to the Brie Throwers. However, their friendship was standing still. Sure, the girls weren't exactly the best at what they do, but it doesn't mean Lynn would simply abandon them because of that, but due to Lynn's trainings for basically all of the school's sports in the afternoon, unfortunately, she couldn't be with the team so often.
That Saturday was an exception. Lynn had been invited by the team, Amy, more specifically, to meet them by the basketball stadium they used to practice on, around ten in the morning. She asked for her father for a ride, since it was too far to go even on a bicycle. This time, lucky rituals were not required. She was wearing her usual red and white jersey and track shorts, and was taking two of her basketballs with her.
Lynn, both Sr and Jr, were inside the family van. Lynn seemed to be exited. Even though they go to the same school, they shared almost no classes, and in the break time, Linn was always dragged to another sport team table. It's not like she hated her fellow teammates, it was actually the opposite, but she could always see the four alone in a table close to a wall
"So, what are you girls going to do?
"Well, they didn't told me," Lynn said, spinning a basketball in her index finger. "But since we're meeting in the arena, I'm pretty sure we are going to play a little bit," Lynn assumed
"I don't remember you speaking a lot with those girls," Lynn said
"Well, I helped them a lot, and they also teach me a lot of things," Lynn said, raising her right sleeve. Her "FLIBBR" was still incomplete, but there was a new letter on the end of it. The girls had added it after their last game. It was another letter F, drawn in blue pen. It was said it stands for friendship, due to her new self in the end of the championship.
"That' nice, jr." he said. Lynn remembered watching his daughter's games, and he had to say, he was quite surprised but her change of attitude during the championship. He, along with some members in the family, believed it was easier to make Gollum give up on trying to get the One Ring. The rest simply didn't understand the reference. "I have to say, I've been feeling proud for you since you guys last game,"
"I know dad," she said. "There is no reason for you not to be, I'm not only the best player, but also the best teammate," she made a pose, holding her hand on her hips, and delivering an ear-to-ear smile, showing all of her white teeth (to her, even being clean is a competition)
Lynn sr giggled a little. "I'm sure you are, honey, sure you are," he said, as they were getting close to the stadium. Lynn was already holding her bag by the time he parked right in front of the main entrance. He was glad it wasn't a game day, since it was almost impossible to find a place to stop (Lisa was still working on a parking spot generator, but according to her, it would take some time), that's even most true since he was driving a van, not a regular car.
"Bye dad," Lynn said, jumping off the vehicle
"Bye, jr. Call me if you need a ride back," he screamed. She gave him a thumbs up and rushed inside, as he simply drove away.
When Lynn reached their meeting point, there were already three people waiting. Two of them stood up and rushed towards her.
"Lynn," They both exclaimed
"Amy, Diane," Lynn said.
Those were two of Lynn's teammates. They were just like Lynn remembered, except they weren't using their team's uniform. Amy was wearing a dark grey T-shirt, with a bicycle draw in it, with the words 'burn calories, not oil," written in it, black leggins and white sneakers. She was chubby, but Lynn could bet she was looking a little bit thinner since the last time they talked. Her hair still had pigtails, and it still covered her eyes.
Diane, on the other hand, was wearing a pink T-shirt, with the brand stamped in it, which Lynn never heard about (not that she knew a lot about clothes). She was wearing light blue track shorts, and also white sneakers. She seemed to be a little bit taller, but Lynn couldn't really tell. She was also with her hair pulled back in a ponytail.
They shared a short greeting hug. Lynn felt something wet on her back when Diane hugged her.
"Are you nervous, DIane?" Lynn asked
"N-no. Why do you ask?" Diane said
"Take a look at your hands," Amy said
Diane actually took the time to see the palm of her hands, and the drops of sweat were easily visible.
"I get nervous easily, ok?" Diane said, a little nervous, and a little angry. Both Amy and Lynn laughed at her. Then, Lynn looked to the side, to see a girl sleeping in two of the seats on the first line
That was Maya. Obviously she still had problems staying awake for long periods of time. She was wearing a green T-shirt and short jeans, just barely reaching her knees. She got rid of her afro hairstyle, and its place there was straight long brown hair.
"Should we wake her up?" Lynn said, pointing to the girl
"Let's wait for Paula to arrive, then we won't have to wake Maya another two times," Amy said
"Another two times?" Lynn asked
"She was the first one to arrive," Diane said, looking at her. "Honestly, she should see a doctor about this whole sleeping problem,"
"I'm pretty sure he could solve your sweating problem as well," Amy said
"Hey, at least I don't have to lose weight," Diane said
Amy jumped over Diane and they begin to fight against each other. The only thing Lynn could do was laugh at the situation. The two stopped fighting as soon as they heard their friend laughing at them. They both gave themselves an evil smile and, while Lynn was distracted, they both talked her too the floor and began fighting her.
It wasn't anything violent though. The three were just laughing and, while Diane and Amy weren't using strength against Lynn, she didn't even bothered to counter-attack them. She knew she could easily outstand the two, but it wasn't necessary, it was just a fun fight
"So, I am five minutes late and things already escalate to disaster?" The three heard a voice, and they immediately stopped fighting, and turned their head to see a blond girl standing by the entrance.
"Paula," the three girls exclaimed, and only then Amyy and Diane got out of Lynn. The three ran to greet her. She was wearing jeggings and a white T-shirt, which had a picture of a beach in the Lynn's turn to greet her came, she noticed something odd with her friend.
"Hey, where's your crutch?" Lynn asked
"I don't need it anymore," Paula said, kicking the air with her right leg. "My leg is totally healed."
"That's awesome," Lynn exclaimed
"It feels kind of awkward, you know?" Paula said. "After two months, I was getting kind of used to live with a broken bone,"
"Do you want a broken bone?" Lynn asked, ironically, making a fist with one hand, and smashing it against the other. "I can solve your problem,"
"You know what? It's not awkward at all. It feels great not to use a crutch," Paula said, faking fear from Lynn's words. It didn't last long, as the four girls begin laughing loudly and, consequently, waking up the girl laying on the two chairs.
"It's everyone here already?" Maya said, stretching her body, letting a loud yamn escape her mouth. She got up and began heading into the crew. Lynn and Paula greeted her, as Amy and Diane simply waited (they had already greeted her when they arrived)
"So, now that we are all here, what do you wanna do?" Amy asked
Lynn pulled a basketball out of her bag and began spinning it again, delivering a little smile to the rest of the team
"That sounds good enough," Diane said. Lynn passed the ball to her, going slightly above her head. She tried to grab it, but the ball slipped from her hands, due to the sweat going high and behind her. The five girls simply watched, amazed, as the ball literally went through the hood, without even touching it. The sound of scoring a point was heard by all of them
They simply stood still, looking through the hook. The only sound in the place was the basketball bouncing on the floor. Amy was the one who broke the silence
"Who is our captain again?" Amy asked
"It's me," Lynn said, without taking her eyes off the hook. She saw a lot of lucky shots in her life, but none so lucky and stupid before.
"Well, you're fired. Diane is the new captain," Paula said
"Hey!" Lynn said, angrily
The other four team members begin laughing again, and Lynn felt her cheeks getting hot. She knew her team was kidding (probably), but the idea of a lucky shot taking her position wasn't exactly pleasurous for her.
"Come on, Lynn, we are just kidding," Diane said, noticing how she was getting angry
"Yeah, the captain of the team should be Paula," Maya said, and the teasing remained for another ten minutes, before Lynn got angry enough. She grabbed the ball and launched it to the other side of the court. The ball landed on the hook and began spinning.
"These are the skills a true captain should have," Lynn said, looking at her teammates faces, who had their chins falling of their mouths. Her back was facing the hook, as she was waiting for the alarm, when the ball stopped spinning and it fell off the hook, on it's outside
After a few seconds of silence, the laughs came again when the ball first hit the ground. They began clapping her hands, as Lynn turned around and noticed the ball didn't entered the hook and, therefore, she didn't scored the three points of the throw.
Amy went to the other side to grab the ball. "Relax, Lynn, we are just teasing you," she said. "How about a little game to relax?" She offered
"One on one?" Lynn asked
"Nope, four against one," Maya said, as all the other girls displayed themselves. "That way, we have a slight chance of winning,"
Lynn bounced the ball on the ground. "As you wish," she said, and charged towards the girls
The good thing of playing something unofficially was that there is no timer, and no judge, so they were free to do whatever they wanted. Sure, they know the rules, and were keeping track of their score, but it was funny when you just put your leg to make a person fall, and the game simply continues.
In the end, Lynn barely won the match, 28 vs the other's team 27. When they finally stopped, they were all tired. They checked the time and it was almost one pm.
"That was a good game," Paula said. All of the girls stomachs began rubbing. "Now who wants to eat something?
"I know a good snack bar nearby," Amy said. "It's owner it's a friend of my father. They have the best food around here,"
"Sounds good to me," Lynn said, reaching her bag. "Oh wait, I don't have any money"
"Don't worry about that," Amy said. "I'll just ask the owner to send the bill to my father, and then you pay me later,"
"Well, then what are we waiting for?" Lynn asked
"We're waiting for Maya," Diane said, pointing at the girl, who was laying on the floor, sleeping, using the ball as a pillow.
After Maya waking up, the five girls left the place and turned right, following Amy's directions. They soon reached the place. it had a fifties style, with huge windows, checkered floor with black and white tiles, and the big red seats on each table. The decorations, all of those pictures of old rock bands and sport stars, made the girls eyes shine.
After taking their seat next to a window, a man, in his early forties, wearing a white uniform, came to their table.
"Amy, my dear," he said, shaking her hand "How are you? It's been sometime since your last appearance,"
Amy faced her fellow teammates. "Girls, this is Pablo, the friend I've told you about," then she faced the man. "Pablo, these are Lynn, Paula, Maya and Diane," they all shaked hands with him
"I hope you enjoy our service, and if there's any problem" Pablo said, pointing at himself, handing all of the girls the menu. "Just call me when you've decided what you want," he was about to leave, but Paula called him back
"Actually," Amy said. "We don't need the menu,"
All of the other girls and the waiter looked at him confused. Paula called Pablo closer and whispered something in his ear. None of the girls heard what it was, bur Pablo nodded, then he wrote something on his little notebook used to take orders, grabbed the menus and left. The girls were just staring Paula with a confused expression.
"Just wait," Amy said, as another waiter left two little baskets filled with chips on the table.
After fifteen minutes of waiting, Pablo came back from the kitchen, holding a huge tray in his hand. He placed it on the table, covering almost all of it's extension. On the tray was a huge sandwich. It had lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cheese, bacon and meatballs, except for the end near the window, which didn't had any meat. They could see that the bread had four cuts on it.
"One special sandwich for five special customers," Pablo said, and then pointing to the end of the table. "Diane, Amy told me you don't eat meat, so that part is totally free of it. Hope you enjoy," he said, and left the girls with their food
All of the girls began starring Amy again. "What are you waiting for? Let's eat," she said, grabbing one of the five pieces of lunch.
The other four girls grabbed their respective pieces and took a bite of it. The explosion of flavours in their mouths could not be described. They all gave a sound, showing how good it the taste of their lunch felt in their stomach. It didn't took long before they all finished their fair share of food.
"That. Was. Amazing." Diane said
"Now I understand why you are chubby," Maya said, receiving an angry stare in response, and the other three girls laughed
"We need to do these hangouts more often," Lynn said
"Hey guys, I was thinking of something," Paula said
She called everyone close, like it was a secret their idea
"There is something I've been wanting to do for a while since I've hurt my leg, and now that it's healed, I'm able to do it" she said
"Well, what is it?" Diane asked
"I want to keep it a surprise, but I'm sure you'll all like. Only one thing come with long sleeve clothes and pants, the place it's actually pretty cold." Paula said
"So, where it is?" Lynn asked
Paula took off her cell phone and showed a map of the whole city. She pointed a place near the of the other girls ever went to that place, but they knew where it was.
"So, what time should we go?" Diane asked
"How about ten? Just like today," Paula was obviously getting excited. The four girls nodded in agreement. They stood up and left the restaurant, and Amy asked the waiter to send the bill to her father. They went back to the arena, where some of the other girls have left their checked the time and saw it was 2:15, so they decided to go back home. Lynn was already texting her father so he would pick her up.
"So remember, ten in the morning near the park, ok?" Paula said
The four girls nodded as each one of them began walking or riding away from the place, and Lynn was waiting her father to pick her up. It took around fifteen minutes before Lynn sr was in her sights.
After telling her father what happened during the day, they reached the house. Lori, Luan and Lola were in the couch watching Tv, and the others were probably in their rooms, minding their own business. Lynn quickly ran to her room, she had some homework to finish.
She got her notebook and began solving the random calculations her math teacher thinks it's important for her too know. Lynn was certain that the only reason she would need math would be to count how many victories she had, and there would be someone to do the counting for her.
After finishing her homework, bouncing her ball in the wall for a while, and almost falling asleep from Lucy's poetry (Lincoln had to have a sleepover in Clyde's house that day), finally dinner was ready. Lynn was quite anxious for tomorrow, since she wasn't sure what would happen.
Lynn wasn't exactly the biggest fan of her father's gullash, but she was quick enough to swallow every tiny bit of it, so she could go quick to bed, and the night would go quicker to bed and she wouldn't have to wait to much.
She went to her room, put on her pajamas, did her thirty minute exercise routine so she would get tired, and then she simply fell on her bed. She was to tired and to hot to event think about covering herself. However, as soon as she dug her face on her pillow, her cellphone began ringing. she didn't even took out her face from the pillow, she just kept moving her hand on the nightstand until she found the device. She answered it and took it close to her ear.
"Lynn here," she said
"Hey Lynn, is Margo,"
"Oh, hey Ma, what's going on?"
"I just wanted to know if you're coming to the party tomorrow," she said
"Party? Which party?" Lynn asked
"Don't you remember? Our whole team will be there, and I also heard the boys from the baseball team will be there"
Lynn's body had shaken on the mention of those boys. It's not due to their sports choice, but it's because some of them were actually very mean to girls who play sports. They believed the only thing girls should be in a field was cheerleaders. They respected Lynn after what she did with the last guy that said she should quit sports and she would be lucky to date any of the guys in the team, but their relationship was never that good.
"Honestly, I forgot. But if those stupid guys are going, I'll rather stay home,"
"Come on, Lynn, if you don't go, I'll be alone in that place," she answers
"What about the rest of the team?" Lynn asked
"You know I'm closer to you then anybody else," she says. "Besides, they only talk about clothes or the boys, and both you and me know we hate those topics," Margo said, and Lynn nodded, even though they couldn't see each other
"So simply don't go," Lynn said
"If I don't go, I'll have to stay with my mother, and she always forces me to participate in her stupid book club when I don't have nothing to do," she explained
Lynn thought for a second. "Hey, remember that basketball team I played last month?"
"When your team scored only 12 points, against the other team's fifty?" Margo asked
"Yes," Lynn said, a little bit angry. The mention of the score wasn't exactly a happy memory, but she didn't bothered much. "We are hanging out tomorrow, near the park, you can come with us if you want," Lynn said
"Really? What are you gonna do?" Margo asked
"Honestly, I have no idea. One of the girls is making a surprise, so we are going to find out on the day,"
"Okay then, where is it?" Margo asked
"It's near the park, at ten in the morning. I'm sure you don't mind," Lynn said
"That's true," Margo answered. "Is there anything we have to take or something like that
"The girl said to wear long sleeve clothes and pants, because it's cold where we are going, but other then that, no." Lynn said
"Great, thanks for the aid, Lynn" Margo said
"No worries, Ma. See you tomorrow," Lynn said
"See ya," Margo said, and Lynn ended the call. She laid back down on her bed, but she wasn't feeling tired at all. She got up and began another thirty minute exercise routine.
The next morning, Lynn woke up by her alarm clock, it was around 9 in the morning. Most of her family were still sleeping, so she manage to take a shower without anyone bothering her. Next, she exchanged her pajamas to a white T-shirt with a red jacket, as well as jeans and sneaker.
She got downstairs and saw nobody in the kitchen. She entered the place and grabbed an apple for breakfast. After finishing her fruit and throwing away the core, she went upstairs and brushed her teeth. She grabbed everything she might need, her charged cell phone, twenty bucks, so she wouldn't need her friend to pay for her and a ball. She chose the ball she usually bounced on her wall at night, which was easier to carry, and also could be used to any sport.
It was around 9:30 when Lynn left the house with her bicycle. She left a note in the living room table, saying she would hang out with her friends, and would be back for dinner. It was a cloudy day, and Lynn was praying the gods to hold the rain until tomorrow. Ringing through the empty streets of the city, she quickly reached the park. She parked her bicycle in the main entrance of the place.
She began heading towards the place Paula pointed at her last day. There weren't much people in the area, but soon enough she found her group of friends standing and signing her. They were all wearing jeans, and while some were wearing jackets, just like Lynn, some were in possession of long sleeve shirts She ran towards them and greeted all of them. She also saw most of them were with backpacks
"I guess you all met Margo," Lynn said
"She said you've invited her, and she seems cool enough" Diane said
"So, Paula, what are we going to do?" Amy asked
Paula remained silent, and signed her friends to follow her. She entered the little forest besides them and, after a few minutes of walking, they found a giant, dark hole in front of them.
"Paula, what is this?" Lynn asked
"Have you ever entered a cave before?" Paula asked
The five girls stared at her with confusion and shook their heads in negation.
"My father used to take me to this place when I was younger. It's beautiful, and I wanted to show it to you," Paula said. "So, why don't I show you?"
"Isn't it dangerous?" Maya asked
"I know that place like the back of my hand, there is no danger at all," Paula said, with a strong voice
They all began thinking for a while. If it was beautiful and safe, why not go? The idea began sounding good in their heads, it sounded like a cool experience. They slowly nodded in agreement.
"Great,'' Paula said, opening the backpack she had with her. She took out six helmets that had flashlights tied to them. "You're lucky I always bring an extra," Paula said to Margo. She also took out a pair of gloves and handed it to Diane. "This will prevent your hands from slipping on the rocks.
All of the girls wore their helmets. They entered the dark room which was the cave. Paula was in the front, and was also the first one to turn on her flashlight. They saw a huge cave, filled with loads of weird formations and structures. It was almost an illusion.
"Hey, those rocks look like a dinosaur," Amy said, pointing to a series of formations, a bit out of range of the flashlight, but still visible.
It's very easy to see those shapes in here, now follow me," Paula said
They began walking inside the cave. The columns inside formed strange pictures, especially with its shadows. Lynn and Maya even took the opportunity to snap a couple of pictures
"Watch your step," Paula said, as they began going down. It was almost a staircase, the only difference being more irregular. Paula hold the hands of almost every girl to help them get down, only Lynn refusing such generosity. After a few more steps, they understood the reason of the clothing. The cold wind blew in their faces almost like they were in a snowy day, the only difference being that, instead of snow and weak sunlight, they only had the straight line of their flashlights to see their path.
They reached a place a few feet under the ground, and they were inside a huge room. "Now, turn your lights off," Paula commanded, as she turned her flashlight off.
The five girls followed the orders, and after that, they were surprised. Obviously they were expecting darkness, but they couldn't see an inch in front of their eyes. They kept speaking, in order to try to find each other, but with five voices at the same time, it was quite hard.
"My father said this it feels like to be totally blind," Paula said. "Don't move, you don't want to bump in each other," she advised. "Now listen,"
They stopped talking. And they heard… nothing, not a single sound. Lynn was actually quite surprise to finally find out what silence is. Unfortunately, it didn't lasted long. Soon enough, they all began hearing the sounds of their breathing.
"Relaxing, isn't it?" Paula said
Suddenly, they began hearing a snoring.
"Paula, this is very cool," Margo said. "But we better keep the lights on, it will help Maya stay awake.
They all laughed quietly, but the silence made the sound seem a lot louder, capable of making Maya wake up. Paula simply signed her friends to follow her.
Silence took control of the place again, the only sound being Paula's advices once in a while. Soon enough, they began hearing what appears to be the sound of a river, kind of strange, since they were under the ground, the group imagined being hallucinations due to the silence, but soon they saw their ears weren't deceiving them, and in fact a river was slowly following its course the same direction they were going.
Paula hold up the group a little bit. "Do you know the lake inside the park?" she asked, and the whole group nodded. "It's probably the same water that flows under here. It might have dug all of these caves, during millions of years
"Uau," Diana said, getting near the water. It was crystal clear, and you could see the bottom of it easily, probably around 1,5 feet deep. This is really beautiful.
"No, this is beautiful," Amy said, looking up. The other girls aimed their heads at Amy's light, and they saw a group of rocks shining, like someone had thrown glitter glue all over it. The small particles, working like a really small mirror, reflected their light, similar to the stars in the sku
"Now I understand why you wanted to come here," Lynn said
"You have seen nothing," Paula said. "Follow me,"
Surprisingly, she began going close to the river, only to literally enter it, with all of her clothes.
"What are you doing?" Amy asked
"Our path follows this river, come on." Paula said
"Uh, Paula, I actually can't swim," Diane said
"Don't worry, the water won't go above your chest," Paula said. "Here, I'll hold on you so nothing will happen," she offers Diane a hand. Diane stepped inside the water and gave a huge scream
"What happened?" Lynn asked
"She didn't told me the water was freezing," Diane answers angry
"Hey, what's a cave exploring without some action," Paula said
"Wait a second," Maya said. "What about my cellphone?"
Lynn also grabbed her cellphone and showed the group. The rest simply stood quiet
"You can use my bag," Amy said. "It's waterproof, I'm keeping my cell phone inside"
Both girls nodded and fitted their phones inside Amy's bag. Then, the four remaining girls entered the freezing water and began walking inside the river. Paula was right, the water didn't reached their chest, only on the last part of their path, where the ceiling was too low.
"You'll have to duck, to get past here," Paula said, as she and Diane remained with only their heads out of the water. The rest of the girls did the same. Lynn was the last in the line, and luckily nobody saw she accidently hit her head in one of the rocks, because she raised herself to early.
She saw the other girls getting out of the water. She hold Diane's hand to climb out of the river. What they saw wasn't really that impressive, judging by what they have seen earlier. Shiny rocks and structures were in the rooms they visited before.
"So what's the big deal with this place?" Diane asked
"We are not there yet, we still have some walking," Paula said
They all began following a corridor, which began getting smaller and smaller as they were getting trough. There was a point where they had to crawl on the floor, and those with backpacks had to remove them and push it in front of them. Lucky, the exit was close. The exit whole was above them, and they had to climb up to reach the exit.
And when they finally reached the place, Paula simply stood still, with her hands on her hips, smiling. The other girls were trying to understand what was so interesting. She turned off her flashlight and, as soon as the others turned off theirs, they finally understood what was so amazing.
There was actually light inside the cave, but not normal light. It was so weak, it was almost the same from the other room they were standing without lights. Then they faced up. They could see a light coming from probably 100 feet away from them, and the ceiling had the shape of a cone, with a hole that had a few inches, at most.
"Almost nobody knows about the existence of this place," Paula said, turning on her light. "My father found it when he was only twenty, and he and his friends kept it a secret.
"Where exactly are we?" Margo asked
"My father's not really sure, but this is probably deep below one of the hills near the end of Royal Woods.
"WHAT? But that's like more than a few miles from the park," Maya said, surprised
"When we are in this places, without sound or light, sometimes we lose track of time and space," Paula said, calmly
Lynn took out her phone and saw it was two in the afternoon. Surprisingly, nobody appeared to be hungry or tired (except for Maya, but she was always tired). she decided to snap another picture of the place. After putting the phone inside her pocket, she simply admired the beauty of the place.
"Uhh, Paula?" Amy said
"Yes?" she said, heading towards Amy, who was near the entrance and probably the only exit for them
"Was this supposed to be flooding?" she said, pointing at the whole in the ground.
Paula got near the hole and saw a river forming on their passage. It was covering almost the whole tunnel, which was large, and obviously nobody could hold their breath enough to pass
"It seems it's raining outside," Paula said
"Is there a problem?" Maya said, as the rest got closer and saw the water covering their exit.
"Hey, how are we leaving now?" Margo asked
"Don't worry, this thing will empty itself as quick as it was filled," Paula said. We just have to wait a little bit,"
"Well, I don't know about you guys *yamn#*, but I'm gonna enjoy the silence and the darkness," she said, laying her head on a rock.
"Guess we don't have anything else to do," Lynn said. Tiredness began striking on the girls, as they would just take a nap, using a rock or their backpacks as their pillow, and their clothes kept them warm enough.
Even though her pillow wasn't really soft, Lynn fell asleep very quickly, since she had to enjoy a nap without any noises from her loud siblings. After what felt being like an hour, Lynn woke up and turned on the light of her helmet. Almost all of her friends were still asleep, except for one who was near the exit. Lynn still hears the sound of the water, but if an hour has passed, probably won't take that long for the water to simply go away.
She got closer to her friend and the light revealed her blond hair. She was ducked near the water, playing with it with one of her hands. Lynn touched her on the neck, and she felt it was cold. Colder than what she was expecting, even in that place.
"Paula, are you okay?" Lynn asked, lowering to her height.
"No, I'm not, Lynn," Paula said without turning her face
Lynn now noticed Paula had her cellphone in hands, and the words 'no signal' were on the screen
"What's wrong then?" Lynn asked
Paula showed Lynn her cell phone, and pointed the clock. It was almost nine in the evening, six hours after they have reached that place
"We are trapped, Lynn," Paula said, in a monotonous voice, trying to hide how scared she was, but her shaking was very helpful. She turned her face to Lynn, and she saw the tears on her blond friend, as she said, so quietly, it felt almost like a whisper
"Trapped," Paula repeated
Well, I'm pretty sure everyone knew what was going to happen until this point (unless they didn't bothered reading the summary or the text in the beginning), but anyways, I hope you enjoyed the idea, and let we know what you are think of the idea. Constructive critisism is always accepted. Thanks for your time and see you next chapter.
