"Come on ladies let's go!" I yelled back laughing at the two men on the rocks below us. "Olivia." Hannah frowned but she smiled trying to stifle her laugh. "They're being slow pokes." I grinned, "Motivation." She laughed and shook her head, "Ha-ha!" Sean called up sarcastically. "Mount Sneffles?" We heard Sean ask getting closer. "Why don't you explain professor?" Hannah said. "Mount Sneffles was the mountain that the fictional character in the book found the portal to the center of the earth." Trevor explained to Sean. I nodded. "Finally!" I yelled pointing to the small metal object close to us. Trevor ran over to the object placing his hands around it. "We came all the way up here for that?" I asked. "It's worth so much more than it looks." Trevor said getting a tighter grip on it and pulling. "Ookay then." I shrugged. "Uh…Trevor…you might want to hurry it up." Hannah said and I noticed that she now saw the gray clouds moving towards us. "Olivia come on." Hannah murmured. "I am sorry! But there is no time to-!" Hannah yelled as she, Sean and I ran to the nearby cave. I gasped and pulled Sean out of the way of lightning pulling us down to the ground. "Thanks!" Sean yelled once we were in the cave. "No problem." I said brushing myself off. "Trevor! Drop it!" Sean yelled. "That thing's attracted to lightning Trevor!" I yelled as he ran towards the cave with it dodging lighting bolts. He soon dropped it and rocks and dust fell all over. I screamed diving out of the way of some rocks and felt myself fall to the ground dust all around us. I coughed and looked up to see Sean on top of me. "Olivia?" Hannah yelled. "Over here! I'm fine." I said. "Thanks." I said as he got up. "Even Steven right?" Sean said extending a hand. "Yeah." I nodded laughing a bit. Sean turned to the entrance, "Oh, no. Guys! Come, on! You gotta help me dig! What are you standing there for!" Sean yelled to us. "Sean stop." I said. "It'd take us at least a month to dig our way out. There's no point." Trevor sighed stopping. Sean started taking deep breaths and more and more. "Sean. Sean we'll be fine." I said. "I'll get you out of here I promise." Trevor promised. "What do you have in there?" He asked Hannah. "Rope, flash lights, protein bars, signal flares, blanket and some first aide supplies." She replied. "We'll have to ration the food it won't last more than a week." I said. "We don't know how long we'll be trapped down here for." Hannah said. "Trapped? Trapped?" Sean yelled. "Oh, my God check your phones! I'm not getting any service!" He yelled. "We won't get any service down here Sean." I supplied. He groaned. "So…who's taking the lead?" I asked. "I will." Trevor said starting to go off Sean next then me then Hannah. "My gut says…right." Trevor said. "My gut says left." I spoke up. "My gut says we're doomed." Sean said. I smiled, "Ok then right it is."

I screamed and pushed Sean out of the way grabbing the back of Trevor's jacket saving him from falling down the abyss below. "This isn't your lab professor!" Hannah exclaimed. "This is life here." She said, "Meaning, be careful!" I yelled. "What does this say?" He asked me handing me a rusty old sign. "Uh…halda ut." I said. "Keep out." I translated. "That's good." Hannah said. "Good? More like good advice." Sean mumbled. "Oh, come on. It couldn't be that deep." I said giving him a punch to the shoulder. "I can't see the bottom." Sean said, "Conclusion; it's too deep for me." He finished. I smiled a bit laughing a little. "Sean use your watch time this when I drop it to see how long it takes until it hits the bottom. Count out loud." He lit the flare and dropped it. I shrieked as the oncoming explosion knocked me on top of Sean and we tumbled to the ground. "Now that was just mean." Sean said looking at me. "Fine. I'm sorry." I mocked making him grin in return. "What was that?" Hannah asked. "Magnesium." Trevor answered. "Magnesium…kind of flammable isn't it professor?" Hannah smiled grimly. "Yeah. It's used in gunpowder and match sticks." He answered. "Then maybe flares aren't a great idea." I mused as he pulled out an orange glow stick. "Same principal got it?" Trevor asked. Sean rolled his eyes; it wasn't like he was two. "One, two, three." Sean counted. "Almost three." Sean shrugged. "Two hundred feet?" I checked. "Yeah." Trevor answered surprised I knew that calculation. "That's like a really big building right?" Sean asked fear in his-well everything. "Yup, 20 story high rise." Trevor smirked with a chuckle. "I have rope." Hannah said. I eyed her bag warily; I just wanted to live! "Enough?" Trevor asked. I scoffed, and Hannah looked pointedly at him, "I always have enough rope." I laughed however Sean looked at us like we were insane. "You mean you're suggesting we go down there?" Sean exclaimed. "We're repelling down." Trevor nodded helping Hannah with the rope. "Down into that deep dark hole?" Sean checked eyes wide at Trevor. "Is that a problem?" Trevor smirked. "Pft," Sean snorted looking at me. "Are you kidding me I've got…uh…got…" Sean looked from me to the abyss below. "Uh….there's no way I'm going down there." Sean shook his head looking back at his uncle. "You're man enough to call dibs on the mountain guide, but not man enough to go down in that dark hole?" Trevor said smugly I burst out laughing as Hannah raised her eyebrows at the two, "No one calls dibs on the mountain guide." She said. Each of them blushed a bit, and I laughed again. "So, who's first?"
