Chapter 1: "Sudden Trip"A group of close friends were on a camping trip. They were just having fun like any other group of friends would have, allowing their adventurous side to come through. One day they came upon a great waterfall. While the majority of the group was just splashing water at one another, Kia Sha went up to Ta Yeng. He wasn't playing with the water neither so she was able to talk with him.
"Hey do you see that up there?", asked Kia Sha
He looked up and to hi amazement there he noticed that there was a cave behind the waterfall.
"Yeah I see it. Hey! Let's check it out!", said Ta Yeng.
"Alright…", turning towards the others she shouted," Hey you guys! Let's go check out that cave up there!"
Keng Khu, who preferred to be called be Keng, looked up at the cave. Keng, being an active had no problem with this. He sped off towards Kia Sha and Ta Yeng.
"Alright…well…at least some of us are here. Where are the rest of the girls?", Kia Sha asking Keng.
"Dunno…I though they were right behind me.", replied Keng.
"Look they're coming. Hopefully they'll be up for this. You think?" said Ta Yeng
Keng gave a very disapproving look.
"Hey! Just because they're girls doesn't mean that they won't be up for this.", snapped Kia Sha.
The other four girls finally had gotten to where the three were. Ka started complaining but it was just usual for her to complain about things. Pan Fua, Shua Ki, and Niu Ku was just going along quietly without saying much. Most of them was actually really looking forward to getting inside the cave. What made it more interesting to them was that it was behind a waterfall that they had been to plenty of times and yet, never noticed it there before.
Getting to and inside the cave was no problem at all for them. Ta Yeng was able to find a path that lead them right to the cave. Strangely, the rocks that were protruding to form the path came out like an actual stairway. It wasn't exactly like a perfect stairway but close enough was what Kia Sha was thinking while they were still heading towards the cave.
Inside the cave had a somewhat cold feel and it had a bluish look. The group was feeling kind of weird but no one paid attention to that. Everyone began to look around but this cave had no tunnels and was actually quite small. Ka eagerly wanted to get out and so did Shua Ki. After a while everyone was bored with the area so they all were starting towards the opening of the cave.
"Damn it, what a waste of time.", commented Keng Khu.
At that moment when they were just about to leave the cave, a voice then came out of nowhere. The voice came out so suddenly from the silence that it had scared Ka, Shua Ki, and Niu Ku so horribly they just couldn't move for a split second. Ta Yeng, Keng Khu, Pan Fua, and Kia Sha were looking around to see where that voice they heard came from and who. They looked puzzled, the cave had no tunnels or any particularly good area to hide, and they've already looked around and found nobody. They turned around and were about to head out again when suddenly one by one they all just collapsed and still inside the cave.
An old man now appeared out of thin air and stood in front of the young people. He observed them only for a second through his eyes that were full of wisdom yet, an unknown sense of mysteriousness. Strangely, he was holding what looked like a deck of cards. He raised them in his hands over the young group of people and seemed to say a few things under his breath. He then turned around and disappeared in a blink of an eye just as he had come.
The bright sun was shining directly on Kia Sha's face. She had awoken to find herself in a loosely thicketed forest. She stood up and to her surprise Pan Fua was already up and looking around. The two could hear the sound of a stream so it must not have been very far away. They then started to head towards the stream.
"Hey, did you see anybody else?", asked Kia Sha.
"Nope, I didn't see anybody…I wonder where they are.", answered Pan Fua.
"I don't have a clue…but…heh…it doesn't even look like where we're camping anymore…. Is this bamboo?"
"Whoa, what's it doing here?", quickly said Pan Fua.
"Okay, well for sure we aren't in the same woods anymore.", calmly said Kia Sha.
They were just at the stream when all of a sudden they heard a horse or teo, maybe even three, they couldn't accurately tell. They went quiet but tried not to panic. Kia Sha still trying to act like nothing happened dipped her hands in the water one last time and when she was done she looked at Pan Fua, signaling that they should leave now. Pan Fua understood instantly, they both stood up and walked away from the spot.
They've been walking along the stream for some time now but Kia Sha still felt like they were being followed so they quickened their pace a little. Suddenly they started to hear some rustling come from the edge of the forest. The girls were starting to panic now. They both felt the need to start running but they thought t would have made the situation even worse.
Suddenly the rustling was getting louder and they were about to run when a horse came and blocked their paths. The horse was pure white and it was incredibly beautiful compared to all the rest of the horses that Pan Fua and Kia Sha have seen and ridden before. They were just so amazed; all the thoughts of danger just slipped their minds as they were observing this white horse. The horse was only an arms length away from Kia Sha; she couldn't help but start to reach forward to touch it.
Another horse came, without them realizing it, behind them. This one had a brown coat but nevertheless it was still beautiful and it seemed so healthy. They now were patting the horses and laughing, completely forgetting that they were about to start running from something.
All of a sudden Kia Sha heard Pan Fua scream, she turned around and the only thing she saw was someone really tall right in front of her. She wasn't even able to see the person's face. She was sure though, that it was a man that had suddenly put a bag over her head. He tied her hands behind her back but didn't bother with her legs. Kia Sha didn't really try to struggle either.
"Even if I did have my hands and legs free, what good will they do if I can't even see?", thought Kia Sha.
She wondered how was Pan Fua doing and how she wondered where was she being taken to. She just couldn't wait for someone to take off the bag that was over her head. She didn't like the idea of her not seeing anything at all.
