Chapter 9: Apocalypse Rain
"I'm starting to think that the Apocalypse almost happened before," Miley says.
"Me too…" Jake agrees.
"Well, I'm guessing that we should hurry up and get to the X on the map before it rains, whenever that is," says Miley.
"Alright, let's go," Jake says and they stand up. He starts looking at the map and walking.
"Oh no, you don't!" Miley says and snatches the map from Jake. You can't tell a map of pangea from a map of the U.S.
"Hey, I didn't know," says Jake.
"Ugh, fine, you lead the way, but if we get lost and don't get to the X, it's your fault," Miley says and hands him the map. "Let's hurry up."
"If you says so," he says and starts running.
"Oh, come on!" Miley complains before running after him. "Jake!"
"Wha-," he stops and turns around to ask, but is cut off when Miley trips on top of him.
It seemed like they were frozen in that position just staring at each other. That is, until Miley lowered her lips to Jake's. A moment later, they both pulled way, breathing heavily.
"I think we should get going," Miley says while quickly getting off Jake.
"Yeah, let's go," Jake said and got up.
After about an hour of walking, they stopped in the middle of the plain. Most objects had begun to disappear, so now there weren't many trees. It was dark because about 75 percent of the sky was black and the rest was gray.
"We are here," Jake said.
"Okay…now what?" Miley asked.
"I don't know, I guess we dig."
"With our hands?" Miley asked again.
"Yep."
After another hour, both of them were in the newly made hole.
"How deep do you think it is?" Jake asked.
"Well, I have to stand on my tip toes to see outside the hole, so… I'm guessing about 5 feet.
"Alright, let's get out of here," said Jake. He picked up Miley and got her out. Then Miley helped him out, in Jake's hand was dirt. When they were both out, they sat beside the hole.
"This prophecy is extremely weird," said Miley.
"I'll agree with that," said Jake. After a minute of silence, he spoke up again. "About the kiss…" he began. Miley looked at him to see that his cheeks were turning slightly pink.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"I was wondering… are we… together?"
"Do you want to be?"
"Yeah," Jake replied somewhat excited.
"Then me too," Miley smiled and gave Jake a peck on the lips.
A roll a thunder boomed and quickly after, came a struck of lighting. Miley and Jake got up from the ground.
"Do you have the dirt?" Miley asked then giggled.
"What?" Jake asked.
"That sounded weird. 'Do you have the dirt?"
"Yeah, well, this whole thing is weird," he said and sweep the dirt into his hand, because he had left in on the ground.
It started raining, it was like any other storm. Dirt in Jake's hand seemed it send a dull thin light into the sky.
"Whoa!" Miley and Jake said in unison as the light grew brighter and thicker until they passed out.
