Knowing the Knikana

AN- I'd like to thank the person that reviewed my story! ^_^ I really didn't give much time for reviewing but I'm gonna put the next chapter up anyway. Enjoy!
Chapter Two
I stopped dead. The feeling was starting to creep into my bones. My eyes slitted and I grabbed for my sword. Then, the beast was upon me. One slice and it was in half. Not even enough time for the others to react or David to draw his sword. My sword absorbed the blood, glowing an amber color. It was pleased.
"What is that?" Christopher asked disgustedly, "An ROUS?" It was ugly. I had to agree. It wasn't what was bugging me.
"No, it's a cammion. They live around here. Be careful for 'm." I took a step forward, sword still drawn. The feeling was getting to me. What was it? Then it struck.
"O crap." I muttered stepping back wards too late. The ground was opening and taking me in. The others weren't noticing. They were starting to step into the area. "NO, DAMN IT!" I screamed, "GET BACK!" Too late. We were all sucked up. Falling, falling falling….
"Ow." I groaned, blinking trying to get back my bearings. My head was spinning and so was just about everything else including April's face which was hovering over me. I grunted and sat up.
"Are you okay?" She asked. I nodded and looked around.
"Where are the Three Stooges?" I asked. There was barely any light where ever we were. The bit of light showed that we had fallen into a cave. Great, perfect.
"That way." She pointed, "Not far, they're playing Indiana Jones." I stared down and saw dimly three shapes. I started to push myself to my feet, one foot then the other. April hovered next to me. She almost seemed worried.
I bent over a picked Mythil from the floor. It was giving off the feeble light. A soft blue glow filling up a bit of the otherwise dark cave. I softly commanded under my breath and the light grew. The Stooges were no longer blurry shapes but instead detailed humans. I let the sword hang by my side as it gave off the light.
"You're going the wrong way." I said, pushing some white hair from my face. "The exit is this way."
"How would you know?" It came from more than one mouth.
"Because, this is the land of the people I used to live with." It came out snappish. I couldn't help it. I hated being anywhere near this place. It made me feel ill. Now I had to face them again.
"It's beautiful." April exclaimed. We had come to the end of the tunnel and were now looking out over a vast place. It looked like a story book picture. Fields, forests, blue lakes, streams. I leaned in the mouth of the cave. I knew it well enough.
"There's no way down." David said, looking down at the about one hundred foot drop.
"Well, maybe Dameon is gonna teach up how to sprout wings." Christopher replied, weakly attempting to joke. I shook my head and stepped out onto the ledge with them. Walking over I pressed my hand against the ground and prayed. To my gods. Not the norse gods or greek gods or Aztec gods. Slowly the lip began to lower. Like an elevator.
"What the-" Christopher was cut off by a violent jerk as the lip sped up. It was almost too the ground when I took my hand away and jumped down. The others followed in amazement.
"I'd like to say that wasn't possible." Jalil said watching it move back up.
"WTE." I replied using their terms. "Watch out you guys. I am not allowed here and my people are not exactly friendly." We were right out in front of the forest. Tall green pines hovered over us ominously. It made me fidgety and nervous.
"Through the woods?" David asked. I nodded. Didn't really matter what direction we went. We'd end up in the same place.
"To grandmother's house we go?" Christopher asked brightly. I cuffed him, gently in the head.
My goodness Dameon is grumpy… ^_^ well anyway! REVEIWS! I love reviews!!!! ^_^ ^_^!!!!!!
