Chapter3: The Cave
"How did you get me into this rat hole," said Fanny. The party of animals were traveling through the pitch-black cave. Doc claimed he was an experienced spelunker, so he held the lantern and led the group. "Because we would have left you there if you didn't," Duke said. They soon came to a fork in the path. "Which way?" said Mint. Doc thought for a moment, then said," Left".
Winnie hated the cave. Everything made her shiver. Winnie thought she herd something every 5 seconds. She wished she were in her nice warm bed again. She remembered the times when she was happy and didn't have a care in the world. She remembered her best friend Savannah. A mix of anger and sadness welled up in her. "I wish Savannah were here," she thought to herself. Winnie muttered, "I hate this stupid place. I hate the eerie calmness. I hate this stinky smell. I hate those spooky eyes looking at me. Wait a minute". She tuned around to see a pair of spooky, red eyes staring at her. Winnie gasped and rubbed her eyes. When she opened them again there was nothing there. "Keep yourself together," she said to herself.
After navigating through the underground labyrinth, Doc came to a small underground spring. "Let's stop to eat", he said. Doc set down the lantern and got out the food. Since they had no wood for a fire, they ate cold canned ravioli and jerky.
Prince gleefully ate his portion. He hadn't eaten since the whole adventure began. "I'm never going so long without food again," he said to himself. Suddenly a piece of ravioli hit him in the face. He looked around and saw Fanny holding back a laugh. He grumbled to himself and flicked it away. Then something caught his eye next to where the ravioli landed. He went for a closer examination. "Doc, bring the lantern over here quick.
Doc was astonished by the find. Prince had found large bones of an unknown creature. It was like something of a lizard/snake. The skeleton was very long with four monstrous legs. It's skull held many jagged teeth that could sheer through bone. "What is it?" an astonished Cobb asked. "I don't know," said Doc. "We should be careful if things like these are still around," said Jet.
The group of animals packed up and continued their travels. Doc started looking worried after a while. Lobo was getting suspicious.
"How long is this cave?" Lobo thought to himself. "Doc, are we going the right way?" said Lobo. "Yeah, everything's fine," the rabbit said hastily. Lobo still thought something was wrong, but didn't say anything. The hours passed and the group was getting restless.
"How long is this going to take, Doc," said Mint. "We should be at the exit any time now," said Doc. A few more hours pass. Lobo lost all patience. "You don't know where we're going do you?" the angry wolf said. "According to my calculations, the exit should be around the next corner," said a frightened Doc. As the group rounded the corner they saw it was a dead end. "Nice going Doc," said Cobb. "You made me walk all that way, for this!" said an enraged Tom. "I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget," Lobo said growling. "I, I don't understand. It should be here," said Doc. Lobo cracked his knuckles. Doc was backed into a wall. The angry wolf threw a punch. Doc narrowly dodged. Lobo's fist hit the wall. As Lobo nursed his hand, the vibrations awoke hundreds of hungry, vicious, vampire bats.
The first to see them was Mint. She was terribly afraid of bats. They swarmed all around her to try to get a meal. She screamed and ran the way she came. The others soon followed. Her natural instinct then took over. She ran down the corridors. She chose each new path at random. Left, right, right, left, right she ran. Since she was leading the others followed her as to not get separated. The bats seemed to keep up though and managed to get quick bites off of her. After what seemed like an eternity, they bats suddenly flew away. It was as if something had scared them off.
Exhausted and covered with bite marks, the animals collapsed on the damp cave floor. After a few minutes of heavy breathing, Lobo yelled to Doc, "See what you made me do!" "Like that was my fault," Doc yelled back. "This whole thing was your fault," screamed Jet. It was not like him to get so emotional. "You know what, fine. I'll go off on my own!" said an outmatched Doc. "Go ahead, see if I care," Lobo said. And with that Doc stormed away from the group.
Doc grumbled to himself along the dark passageway. "Who do they think they are?" mumbled Doc. "They never appreciate the work I do. They didn't deserve someone like me," Doc further said. He then stated, " I'll show them, I'll get to the legendary valley before they do. Yah, that'll show them." Doc was so caught up in his anger that he was standing in front of a pair of red, angry looking eyes and sharp jagged teeth.
