Chapter 4 ) A day in the Rain
Foina woke up the next morning to a loud roll of thunder. She sat up and looked around rather startled. she looked around to see Van looking out into the distance. 'I wonder what he is thinking about...' She thought to her self. As she unwrapped her self from her blanket, and shuddered from the cold. 'Damn, I forgot how cold these caves get after the rain.' Fiona ignored the cold though and started folding her blanket when Van turned around and saw her. He looked at her for a moment then got up and walked over to help Fiona with her blanket
"Morning."He said as he picked up the opposite ends. Fiona looked up and smiled.
"Good Morning to you too Van...Oh, how hard has it been raining?
"I has been about the same since you fell asleep last night. However it started raining harder since midnight."
"You were up at midnight?"
"No I am a really light sleeper and the rain just woke me up."He said with a smile.
"hum, Well like I said I just hope it doesn't. rain to much..." She muttered under her breath
"Do you think should we travel to day or not?"
"Well I am debating on it. Every thing is really slick and muddy and since we are on a ridge..."
"Oh, I see."
"Well there might be a chance if the rain lets up..." Fiona stopped her sentence and looked down. to see Van's hands over hers and blushed. Van looked at her and also looked down. And his eyes widened and he quickly took his hands off of hers. Then looked away as She finished folding her blanket. Silence pierced the air with only the rain to keep them company. A few minutes passed when Van finally broke the silence.
"Um...so do you want some thing for breakfast?"
"Er...Nothing in particular...um what ever you want. I am going to get dressed." She said quietly as she got her close out of her haversack. And walked back into one of the back caves
"Okay." muttered Van as he got out some supplies and started to cook.
Fiona walked back to one of the many catacomb caves and found a cave separate from the rest. Well it was as good as any other. So she started to get dressed. Fiona's mind went back to that morning what had Van been thinking of ? 'Could it have been about yesterday?' she thought taking off her shirt and putting on a black one with short sleeves and looking at the four long scars embedded deeply in her arm. Fiona looked at her arm thinking about her parents, and holding back the tears that threatened to fall. she stayed like that until she heard Van calling her.
"Yo! Fiona Breakfast is ready!"Van yelled from the front of the cave.
"Okay be there in a minute!" She yelled back. Fiona tied up her hair with a red ribbon and put on a pair of jeans then ran out to the entrance. Van heard Fiona coming and turned around finally I thought you were never coming. he said grabbing some pancakes and a plate then handing it to Fiona. "Here you go."
Fiona gratefully took the plate realizing that she hadn't eaten in one and a half days.
"So are you feeling alright?"
"Yea I Can't thank you enough, for fixing my leg...Hey you're not that bad of a cook." She said testing one of the pancakes.
"Thanks."
"Oh, by the way I think there is a way out of this cave that can get us up to the mountain peek."
"Really!"
"Yea some of the caves link to different parts of the mountains so if we find out some other way we can make it up to the fort in a week and a half."
"Okay... but how are we going to get on the right path?"
"Well that is a good question. Because I don't really know... If we take the main cave that will most likely take us to the top."
"Oh... Well it looks like we will have to leave it up to luck."
They finished breakfast and headed off to find out were the caves led Fiona managed to find the main cave. They had both decided to take the main path. They traveled for an hour and a half. Until Van couldn't stand it anymore
"How much longer is this going to take?" Fiona stopped and felt the rocks surrounding them.
"Not much further about another five minutes and we should be by the exit."
"Finally. I was hoping it would be soon my feet feel like they are going to fall off." Fiona laughed silently and kept walking. With the complaints of Van running through her ears
A few minutes later ;
"Stupid Cold, Stupid rain, he beach is way more better than this..." Muttered Van violently under his breath.
"Hey Van..."
"And having to walk all of this way..."
"VAN!"
"huh...oh what?"
"Where hear..."She said looking up and pointing to a hole above them where rain was still falling.
"How do you suppose we are going to climb up there?"
"Like this." She took out a three pronged hook (A/N if any one knows what those things are called please tell me.) And started spinning it around and around until she released it so that it went flying over there heads and through the hole were it lached on to a boulder.
"Oh...okay so who is going first?" Van asked hesitant
"Well that is easy." Fiona said with a smile. "you."
"Me! Why me?"
"Because your leg isn't broken."
"Dammit, Well how do you climb one of these things anyway."
"Have you ever climbed a ships rigging?"
"Yes..."
"Well it's just like that. Except that there is only one rope."
Van looked at the rope then at Fiona "Now you are positive about this right?" Fiona nodded "All right muttered Van as he grabbed hold of the rope and started to climb. Fiona had been right this was just like ships rigging exept that it was only one rope. Van hadint been climbing for long when he felt the rain getting stronger and realised that he was at the top. "Hey Fiona i'm at the top what do you want me to do?"
"I can't climb so do you think that you can pull me up?"
"Yea are you ready?"
"Yea"
"Okay then just hold on tight." As Van pulled Fiona up he looked around there were mank parts were the ground had been struck by lightning. 'So this is where the lightning struck last night.' He looked back down and saw that Fiona could get out so he took her hand and helped her up.
"Thanks Van."
"Hey...no problem . But we should really got out of hear." He noted at the ground and also the fact that they were right on the edge of a platuo. Fiona started to coil the rope the iorn three pronged hookslid across the ground.
"Ugh...I hate it when it rains like this." The hook now slid by Vans foot. And a huge crack of lightning attrackted to the steel hit. There was a blinding flash of light for a brefe second and then it was over "Van are you okay?" She yelled. However Van didn't hear her. The only thing that he heard was a piercing note that was driving him insane. Van fought to gain control of him self but it woulden't stop. Vans eyes turned there erie yelow. And that is when he lost it. Not knowing this Fiona knelt down and tryed to help Van up. But Van had a diffrent approach as she knelt by him he took out a dagger and slashed her wrist with it. Then backed up on the edge of the ridge. Time had eroded most of the edges. And hadmade them week. So that most anything could take a piece of it down. Even an clap of thunder. ( A/N In other words the place that Van was standing colapsed) Van fell not knowing what would happen or what he had done to Fiona...
