I leaned off the boat and fell backwards into the water, next to Fang and Angel. We started swimming in the direction Dr. Papa pointed out, and saw the black mouth of the underwater cave. Angel shined her flashlight in it, but all we could see was the wall of the cave because the cave turned immediately to the right. The captain of the ship had gotten extremely close to the cave entrance, even though it was risky to be this close. The captain was about sixty and he was very nice and helpful. I kicked my flipper, pushing myself closer to the entrance. Angel, Fang, and I were all wearing flippers, goggles, a wet suit, and a tool belt, that included some weapons.
We reached the cave, all three of us shining our flash light everywhere. We slowly swam in, then looked over our shoulder at the entrance. Waiting for a giant metal gate to drop from the ceiling and lock us in here. But nothing happened. Well, I thought, it's good to have changes.
"Should we split up?" Angel asked, her words getting lost in the bubbles.
I shook my head. "We need to stay together." I bubbled back. Dr. Papa had a map of all the cave's chambers, there were four in all, but they were all set in a maze of tunnels. Dr. Papa pointed out two certain chambers, he said to only look in those rooms because the others had already been investigated. The two chambers were all too far and deep for a scuba diving human to reach. He had also estimated the whole cave search would take three to four hours, so we'd be down here for awhile. I followed the curving tunnel I had memorized the tunnels that had lead to the chambers. The first chamber was really big, and branched off to three smaller rooms. Then the second cave was basically a big room, but it still had to be checked out.
We swam for about forty minutes, and we came to the first cave. We did split up then, looking for anything, turning over every rock, searching every room, looking behind every turn. Thirty minutes later we met up. I mentally sighed, know one had found anything.
We started our journey again, swimming forward, and feeling the underwater pressure building up.
Fifty minutes later, we came to the second cave. We started the search again, patting waves for hidden doors, kicking up sand trying to find something! Twenty minutes later we still hadn't found anything. I mentally sighed again.
"Lets head back, guys," I said through a cloud of bubbles, "they have the wrong caves."
We swam back, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. But nothing was out of the ordinary. It was just a cave.
"Well this sucks." Angel bubbled.
"Tell me about it." I said.
"Do you think anything is hidden it a different underwater cave?"
Fang shook his head.
"I wonder how Sky is doing. It's her first night being with out her mom and dad." Angel said.
"She might be a little upset but I'm sure she's fine." I had been thinking about her all night and all day. Was she happy? Was she fed? Was she having fun? Did she miss us?
An hour and a half later, we were climbing up the boat ladder. I took off my mask, panting a little.
"We look everywhere, and found nothing! We even double checked the first cave on the way back. And found nothing." I sighed as I pulled off my flippers.
"We know." Ashly said. What did she mean? I looked closely at all the scientist for the first time, and saw their grim expressions.
"What happened?" I demanded, I ment for my voice to be strong, but it came out hush, scared.
"There was an attack back at the hotel. Wolf like creatures tried to get Sky, everyone fought them off, though. They didn't take Sky, but they did reach her. We got a call ten minutes ago, Sky is in a NICU. She's unresponsive."
And that's all I rember as I fell into blackness.
