I do not own anything. Will update soon. Enjoy.
"Come on! We don't have time for you to be clumsy you idiot!" said Klaus, while grabbing Dorian's arm and pulling him up from the damp floor to keep moving. They were running for their very lives somewhere in the outskirts of the Amazon in Brazil.
"Major…ah… there's too many of them, I don't think we're…"
Dorian was breathing hard, but the Major just pushed him forward.
"I don't care what you think, stop talking and keep running!"
Dorian didn't need more encouragement.
Both of them were very tired, but they could not afford to slow down since their persecutors were rather athletic and very decided to kill them. This was probably the most stupid mistake Klaus had ever done in his life.
Good news was that the mission in itself was complete. They had gotten the USB with the information about human slavery, and the only thing that they had to do was to capture the owner of the USB that was escaping. Klaus being very proud of his physical condition decided to chase him through the jungle all by himself thinking that in mere minutes he would catch Kulebra. Dorian followed him because Dorian is an idiot that wanted to see Klaus being the king of the jungle and what not. The thief actually explained all that, and Klaus was rather kinda tired to debate with him; besides if he gets lost, then better for the rest of us living creatures of the world. From the raid of Kulebra's little house in the middle of the Amazon, where Klaus and the Alphabets found the USB, Dorian also got a Golden and Silver Lizard with sapphire stones all over its body, with which he fell in love at first sight, and now he was carrying it with him.
So what was the mistake that Klaus had done? First, he underestimated Kulebra's physical stamina; the man was just as athletic as Klaus, so he eventually could not catch up with him as he thought he would. Second, it was a trap. After a moment of pursuing Kulebra, Klaus and Dorian (who was falling behind and making Klaus slow down too, yes he waited for the thief but he won't admit it), realized that they were actually being chased by Kulebra's henchmen. So after completely losing Kulebra, Klaus and Dorian found themselves being chased by Kulebra's henchmen. Their cellphones were useless because there was no signal, and to top it all of they were being hunted in an unfamiliar terrain, so they were pretty much fucked up.
Dorian gasped at the sight that appeared in front of him. It is only now that he realized that they may not make it this time.
No, this cannot be happening NOW!
The place was like the paradise he always dreamed of coming to once the Major finally admitted defeat. In front of them was a mid sized tranquil lake and at the very center a rather small waterfall with many "step" rocks beautifully eroded with the water, all surrounded by greenery. What made everything so surreal was that ghostly rainbow that protruded from the waterfall a little bit to the right side. But such a delightful sight was never this frightening. The waterfall was like a mid circle and there was no way to go around it but to back down and meet their persecutors. From here you could see there was a cave just a little to the left side of the waterfall. They were trapped. Dorian hated that he got to be in amazing places that others would kill for to go, with the blessing presence of his beloved, but never in the way he wanted it to be. So close, and yet so far.
"Fuck this!" The major growled under his breath.
"Major…"
"Shut up, get in and swim, we couldn't have gone far, meaning, that this cave should be one of those caves that are connected to each other through underground tunnels".
Klaus pushed Dorian to the lake and both of them started swimming.
When they were about to reach the waterfall, they heard their persecutors arriving and jumping to the lake so they could catch up. When Klaus and Dorian reached shore, both of them realized that the mouth of the cave had a strange resemblance to the mouth of the lizard Dorian had.
Both of them dripping wet and with water to their ankles, stepped silently to the cave and started walking through the only path it had.
The cave was moist, and along with their splashing you could hear running water everywhere. Neither Klaus nor Dorian could run because the floor had many stalagmites, while the ceiling was fully covered with stalactites and rather dangerous looking. Of course, the ceiling gave many possibilities of how to get rid of their persecutors but was very risky, besides there was no way to know if the rocks would actually fall or not.
Now, they reached a big space that had three entrances.
"Do we know which cave is the one that leads to the other caves?" asked Dorian, not so tired anymore, and walking-skipping rocks was rather recovering.
"No, we're just gonna have to pick."
"All right" Dorian put one hand on his waist, the other pointing at the entrances and started counting "Eeeny, meeny, miney, mo" and then asked, "Which one do you want Major? Eeeny, meeny, miney or mo?"
That's where they heard their persecutors, they were getting nearer with every instant.
"I'll take mo" said Klaus.
There was something really wrong with this cave. As Klaus and Dorian were going through their "mo" path, the water below them was taking a nice light blue color. That is only supposed to happen in ocean caves, not river caves.
What's more, there was no way that light could penetrate this path, yet they could see clearly, it was as if the water itself was giving light blue … light.
However, for some reason their persecutors were getting closer to them, and the cave made their sounds even clearer.
That's where Klaus saw something. It was light blue light coming from a crease in the right wall, he wouldn't have given it much thought, but he had a hunch that that light was their way out, and their way to safety. Klaus always listened to his hunch.
"In here." He pushed Dorian to the light.
The crease was very narrow, but they could fit sideways.
"Where are we going?" asked Dorian
"I have no idea but I doubt they will see this entrance, so keep going."
The blue light keep getting stronger and stronger, and both of them could hear that their persecutors reached the place they were before and were going straight. Just when Klaus was thinking about backing up and maybe getting around the henchmen so they could get back to the jungle, the floor disappeared below his feet.
"Major!" A screaming Dorian instantaneously grabbed Klaus by his coat and pressed himself against the major.
The major could do anything about it because that's when he lost consciousness.
