Meylin winced with a moan as she slowly pushed herself up off of the cold stone that she currently laid on. She quickly clutched her temple as she sat up and looked at her surroundings
It was a very dark cave that had stalagmites hanging from the ceiling of the cave as a little residue trickled down the large stone and landed with PLOP into the little lake beside her
Meylin tried to grasp the whole situation at hand and quickly began to breathe heavily as she stood up and ran her hands through her hair anxiously, "Hello!"
All she heard was her echo, and she sighed in disappointment
Her thoughts were interrupted as there was several moans that came from beneath her, with rustling sounds as well. She couldn't quite make out what it was because of the very dim light that the sun gave through a little crevice above, but she definitely identified it as people
"Wha-What happened?" Helen said dazedly, as she stood up and started taking in her surroundings quickly and nervously, "Uh what's going on, where am I?!" She paced nervously as she bumped into Meylin and they tumbled to the floor with a yelp
"Ahhh!" Helen shouted as Meylin shifted off of Helen as she could feel another body underneath them, "hey, watch it!" Javon shouted as Meylin and Helen quickly scrambled off of him
"Guys calm down! I can't see any of you..." Meylin drifted off as she reached her arms out in front of her searching for them
"I think I found you!" Javon shouted enthusiastically as he started to feel his way around Helen's arms as she grunted, "Get your hands off of me!" She said as she swatted him away and Javon recoiled back as Meylin sighed in annoyance
"Guys please, we need to-"
"Somebody help, please!"
A distressed cry interrupted them as they all quickly rushed to the sound, along with some bumps and shuffles with each other
"Where are you!" Meylin shouted as she cupped her hands over her mouth, with Helen holding onto her arm, and Javon walking besides them, "Hello?! Hello, over here down the path!" The high pitched voice called out
Javon quickly shifted direction as Helen and Meylin shuffled closely behind him, as they eventually came to a clearing with a little more light, and the girl, Akalya, was on the floor with her foot wedged between two big boulders
"Over here!" She shouted as the trio rushed over to her and started to inspect her situation
"You okay?" Meylin asked as she bent down next to Akalya, as Javon tried to push one of the boulders off to the side but was failing miserably
"Not really. I think I sprained my ankle," Akalya said as she winced with pain as the boulder shifted a little but a little more on her foot instead of away, causing her to yelp in pain
"Stop that you idiot, you're just making it worse!" Helen shouted as she ran over to Javon, "well you gotta better idea on how to move this thing?" He snapped back as Helen grunted in annoyance
"Guys stop arguing it's not helping Akalya! We'll all three move the boulder. Together," Meylin said seriously as she got up and walked over to them, purposely positioning herself in between them, placing their hands on the Boulder
"Be careful! Uh please?" Akalya said nervously, as Helen warmly smiled to her and nodded and Akalya smiled weakly back
"Okay on three. One...two...three!" Javon said as they all three pushed the Boulder as hard as they could with loud grunts as Akalya but her lip to not yell in pain
Helen looked over to Akalya, noticing her distressed position, "stop! We're just making it worse!" She shouted as Javon and Meylin came to a halt
"No I'm fine, keep going." Akalya said weakly as Helen looked to her unsurely, "you sure? We could always wait for more help to come,"
"No please don't. Just get this rock off my foot," Akalya said in pain as Helen pursed her lips and Meylin and Javon started to push the rock without warning, as Helen joined
"Almost there, come on!" Javon shouted as the rock started to budge, which came along with some grunts and moans
Finally the rock rolled off of Akalya's foot, as they pushed far down another tunnel, and they all started to gasp for air, placing their hands on their knees
Akalya gasped and reeled her throbbing foot towards herself, clutching it in pain, as Meylin and Helen rushed over to her, and Javon hovered above them
"Here let me see it. My aunt is a nurse and I might've picked up a thing or two from her," Helen said, as she took Akalya's foot gently and traced her hand along the swollen part
"Is it bad?" Meylin asked as Akalya bit her lip, trying to hold back tears
"Well good news it isn't broken, but it's badly sprained. She won't be able to walk on it for at least two to four weeks," Helen said defeated, as Aklaya sighed in disappointment, and Javon and Meylin pursed their lips
"Well first things first. We should probably find our way out of this cave, and see if Blair and Alex are anywhere near by." Javon said as he placed his hands on his hips
"Aren't you forgetting something?! We should probably find out where we are! It's not everyday you get randomly transported to a dark cave!" Helen bursted, as Javon rolled his eyes
"I'm just trying to stay calm okay! Now let's go," Javon said as he turned his back towards them, sighing uneasily, as Meylin put Akalya's arm around her shoulder and helped her stand up
Akalya winced in pain at the gesture, and hobbled along next to Meylin, leaning all her weight against her
Helen huffed in annoyance at Javon, and quickly came to her senses when she noticed Meylin and Akalya struggling, and she quickly rushed over and took Akalya's other arm and threw it over her shoulder
It had been a couple of hours of wandering around the cave, with Javon leading the way, and of complete silence. No one said a word the whole way. Though you could definitely feel the tension of worry and fear
They finally came to a dead end and Meylin and Helen put Akalya down, letting her lean against the cavern wall, as she started to breath heavily out of exhaustion of hopping on one leg for so many hours
"Now what genius? How do we get out of here!" Helen said anxiously, as Meylin nudged her with her elbow, giving her a warning glance
Javon stroked his chin, completely ignoring Helen, and looked up the wall of the cave, and his face brightened with an idea, "I'm gonna climb up the wall. I think I see something up there,"
"What?!" Helen and Meylin shouted in unison, as even Akalya whipped her head to face Javon with a Shocked expression
"Javon, are you crazy! There's nothing up there, and you'll fall!" Helen exclaimed as Meylin came over to Javon, "I agree with Helen. We should go a different way, not risk anyone's life,"
"Just let me see what's up there. I sort of see a little flicker of light, and I promise I'll come back down if there's nothing there. Besides, I do martial arts at home all the time. Should be a piece of cake," Javon said with a shrug as Meylin looked doubtful, as he walked over to the wall and placed his hands on the wall
Helen bit her lip nervously and rushed over to him, "Wait! Uh, maybe you shouldn't do this. If you die, it'll be in our hands." She said as Javon raised his brow mischievously
"Are you...worried about me?" He asked in disbelief, as Helen backed away and crossed her arms with a grunt, "Of course not! But I don't want you to die either, it wouldn't be a very pleasant sight." She said, as Javon clearly didn't buy it, and Meylin and Akalya exchanged mischievous smiled
"Yeah sure." He said as he rolled his eyes in amusement, and placed his foot in a little ledge and hoisted himself up, grabbing other ledges with his hands, "Seriously though, don't hurt yourself Javon," Helen said worriedly, as Javon looked down towards her solemnly and nodded, ad continued to climb as the three girls watched him climb the wall nervously
Meylin bent down, and sat down next to Akalya as Helen remained standing, not taking her eyes off of Javon, as his foot slipped under a ledge, causing the three girls to gasp, but Javon caught himself with his hands, and Helen let out an uneasy breath
"You okay Helen? You seem pretty worried," Meylin teased, as Helen was shaken out of her trance, and came over and sat down next to Akalya and Meylin, "I'm fine, and I'm not worried." She said said strongly, as Akalya chuckled slightly
"I made it!" An echo came from above as the girls sighed in relief, "Now the question is if he'll find something up there," Meylin said as she looked up to where Javon had disappeared to
"The real question is how he's gonna get down," Helen muttered under her breath, as they waited quietly for Javon's return
...
Javon pulled himself up the ledge heftily, and stood up while he dusted himself off, and leaned over to see the girls watching him nervously, and he took a deep breath and walked carefully through the dark
As he went on, the cave started to get smaller, closing in on him, but luckily he wasn't that claustrophobic, so he continued a little further
He squinted as a little light met his eyes, and he gasped happily as the sight of light. Strangely though, it didn't look like the sun, but...fire
He cocked his head in confusion, as he ended up crawling on the floor, eventually squeezing through a small opening that entered into a huge opening, as he stood up and stretched
He looked around as the orange light continued to flicker, "Hello?" He asked, as he heard shuffling up ahead
He grabbed a nearby rock, gripping it tightly as he took a strong stance, as two figures started to approach him
"Javon?" Blair said, as Alex stood next to him with the torch that lit their path, and Javon sighed in relief, "Blair, Alex! I'm so glad I found you guys," He exclaimed
"Javon, where are we? And the girls? Any idea where they are?" Alex asked, coming closer to Javon as he put the rock down
"I have no clue where we are, but I do know where the girls are. They're down that tunnel. Me, Meylin and Helen landed together and we found Akalya alone, stuck between two boulders." Javon said as they walked towards the little tunnel
"Is she okay now?" Blair asked, "She sprained her ankle but nothing too serious," Javon replied, as they all found themselves on the rocky cold ground, crawling through the little opening as they gradually started to stand up and feel their way through
Javon quickly put his hand up to stop them, as they approached the ledge and Alex and Blair looked to him quizzically, "You climbed up here?!" Blair said in disbelief as Javon pursed his lips
"Yeah, but I don't really know how to get down..." He trailed off as Alex sighed in annoyance, "Great. So what does that mean for us if you can't even go down?" He said sarcastically as a distressed scream interrupted them, along with an ear screeching roar, causing the three boys to cover their ears
"Somebody help!" A couple of feminine voices sHouted from below, as Javon's head perked up in distress
"That's the girls! They're in trouble!"
...
Can y'all guess what that roar was? ;) Anyways, hopefully I'll get the next chapter out by the end of next week, but only time will tell. And don't forget to submit ur art! And as always requests are open as well. See ya guys next week (hopefully). Bye bye!
