Another disclaimer... I don't, I wish, Gail carson Levine does, the end.

It was very dark, and I'd wished I had brought my flashlight. We stopped about seven yards into the cave, where Char found a lantern. It went on further, I was curious as to how deep the cave is. There were a few crates against one wall, a stack of firewood, a table, two chairs and a bed. Everything was a bit dusty but nothing was broken. I immediately Claimed a nice spot well away from the darkened unexplored side of the cave on the floor with my sleeping bag, allowing Char to have the bed. The next day Char just sat by the table and stared, I opened one of the Crates and found some camping supplies, a first aid kit, a flashlight, half a crates worth of canned and dehydrated food. It wasn't cold, so I didn't feel a need for a fire. I Prepared some sandwiches from the food Mandy had packed for us, and sat on the other chair.

"How are you?" I inquired cheerfully after another fifteen minutes of silence. ". . . " More silence. "Alrighty then, And how do you feel about that...?"
"Are you always this obnoxiously perky?" He inquired finally.
"Wow! it can talk." I said in mock surprise.
He raised his eyebrow menacingly "Leave me alone"
"Well, what am I expected to do"

"Me? discommodious? hardly, You're not the only one who is suffering right now, quit acting like you are"
"What are you talking about"
"Nothing of you're concern, you tenacious adolescent." I said, Running down the back of the cave. with the newly found flashlight. "Wait!" I heard Char shouting, but I wasn't about to wait for him to insult me further, maybe I was being rude, but I was only trying to help. I realized I had left my journal on the table and my sack somewhere behind, but I wasn't about to go back for either, the cave couldn't go on that far, and I would return for them eventually. I continued going until I reached a wall. I sat on a rock and started leaning backward. I saw a light coming from the way I came, and I glanced around for a place to disappear as my back touched rock, The wall collapsed at my touch and I was falling . . . "Ella!" I remember hearing someone shout as I started falling...
