Chapter 3

The next morning, Brennan woke up to the smell of eggs and coffee. She swung her feet around the side of the bed and made her way to the living room. Booth was sitting in front of the t.v playing a video game. She looked over to the kitchen and saw a plate of eggs and bacon waiting for her. She went over to the kitchen counter and took her plate. She got a fork and set down next to Booth on the couch.

"This is a nice place for a cabin. Very homey."

"Thanks Bones. I picked it out myself." His attention stayed on the game in front of him. "Hurry up and eat Bones, I got a surprise for you." She looked up at him.

"What is it," she asked.

"You'll see when we get there."

Brennan didn't ask any more questions. She ate the rest of her breakfast quick, fast, and in a hurry. Booth finally put down the game. He got their jackets from out of the closet and opened the door for Brennan.

"Booth where are you taking me." He smiled at her.

"It's a surprise Bones. Stop asking me."

She sighed and followed him down the path. About 15 minutes later, they came up to a kind of tunnel. There was a sign in front of it that said DO NOT ENTER. Booth proceeded to go near it. Brennan stayed behind him. He stopped at the entrance and looked back at her.

"Come on Bones." He put out his hand.

"Booth, the sign says that we can't enter."

He walks over to her. "Who cares what the sign says. I have to show you something."

Brennan didn't move. Booth grabbed her hand gently and pulled her towards the opening. The tunnel was dark and damp. It was about 200ft deep and 100ft tall. It opened up on the other side. The only light was coming from two entrances. They had to climb over rocks and water holes. The whole place was like a palace. The best thing about was that Booth never let go of her hand. About 30 minutes of climbing and walking, Booth pulled Brennan in front of him and covered her eyes with his hands.

"Booth, what are you doing."

"Just keep walking in front of me. You'll be fine."

Brennan did what he said and kept calm. 1 minute later, they stopped. Booth took his hands from in front of Brennan's eyes. She looked at the wall in front of her and gasped. Booth smiled. The wall was covered with carvings of ancient civilizations. It had amazing animals, people, and lands carved all over the wall.

"Booth, how did you find this."

"I went exploring one day and found this tunnel."

"This is amazing," she said.

"I knew you would like it."

Suddenly there was a loud boom. Brennan jumped and grabbed Booth.

"What was that," she asked.

"It sounded like thunder," he replied. "We should get going back to the cabin."

"Okay." She looked back at the carvings and followed Booth back through the tunnel. The ground moved beneath them every time thunder came up. They were climbing over the last rock when it suddenly moved and Booth slipped off. Since he was holding Brennan's hand, she fell on top of him.

"Booth are you okay," she asked?

He opened his eyes and nodded his head. "I think so."

Brennan slid off of him and helped him up. The tunnel was getting worse. They ran out of the entrance and under a tree. Not a very safe place to be, but they couldn't go back to the cabin now. They were still holding hands.
