"AH! YOUR HAIR!" She shrieked.
"Blue?"
"umm yeah!"
"You are so insane."
"Must you question it?"
"No never!"Amanda grinned.
"okay i got us anything we want. That manager is wrapped so tight around my finger he might snap"
they shared a Laugh.
"shall we begin!"
they set up their equipment and things. They changed into their suits. Black shirts, black pants, Black jazz shoes. They then set up the tech. Walkitalkies. And ummm... yeah. Walkitalkies.
They set out on the adventure they had waited for since...forever.
They knew what to do. With out speaking they went down five cellars to the lake.
"ohhh this can't be good for the fiddle" Lauren Moaned.in the moist air.
"you brought this...why?" said Amanda.
"If Erik's out there, we want him to hear us before killing us right?"
"Lauren he died-"
" no wrong in hoping!"
"I guess...Where do we go from here?" Amanda asked.
Lauren turned to her and gave her the most scary grin ever seen.
And only said one word that Amanda never wanted to hear.
"In."
Lauren handed the fiddle case to Amanda and jumped in.
But after a bit of swimming found the thick clothes weighing her down.
Ignoring Amanda's Protests stripped then and there to only her undies and Bra. And threw the wet clothes at Amanda laughing.
"EW Lauren!"
"YES! Amanda!" She mimicked laughing.
"Come on inn! The waters great!"
Amanda lifted her shirt to revel a swimsuit.
"Unfair!"
"Unthinking!" Amanda said As she jumped into the over 400 ft deep water. They began to swim. After 100 yards they rested on their backs floating. Their water proof head beam flashlights shinning off into space.
"Barbabra manatee" Lauren sang softly.
"You are the one for me.." Amanda joined in.
"sent from up above..."
"Up above Up above.."
"you are the one I love"
"why are we singing this?" Lauren asked
"Because we are about to sing something else." Amanda replied.
"I don't wanna!"
"I'll bite you!" Amanda threatened.
"Not if I drown you."
"Point taken"
Silence filled the room.
"What would you do if... Raoul Came here right here and now?" Lauren asked.
"well." Amanda said Matter-o'-fatly
"First I would yell Lauren in almost naked!" she said yelling the last part.
"Then. I would drown him slowly."
"ohhh... nice. Cept bout the me being naked thing."
Silence yet again. Lauren's headset began to flicker.
"Oh #$&(" she said
"What?" Amanda asked pulling up and starting to tread water
"My $& Headset is going off
"Oh this is Bad."
The headset went out.
"I'll swim back to shore and get more batteries." Lauren said
"Like Heck you will Lauren we stick together!"
But Lauren was already gone.
Lauren was swimming along for a while and found herself lost in the water. She began to panic. Her body was frigid Her breathing tight because of the cold water. She was scared.
"Amanda?" she called out
"AMANDA?" she yelled
no answer. A tear slipped down her frigged face. She decided to swim again. She was bound to hit something right?
Well she did... literally. She has ran.. excuse me "swam" right into a pile of rocks. She felt around and gasped.
"this is it!"
This is where Phantom caved in his entrance into his lair! So no one would bother him!
But then again she would she set to climbing the wall. This was easier than the rock walls at home she climbed every weekend. After half an hour of climbings she reached the top. She almost fell over the top because she wasn't expecting the end of it so soon.
She then set about climbing down.
Her muscles ached. Sweat emptied by the buckets down her face and bare back.
Half the way down she was getting careless wanting only to get down. Her sweaty palms slipped on the hard rocks and she fell, screaming.
!Amanda's View!
"on Lord." Amanda sighed. When I find her... She is so dead." she thought swimming violently swimming BAM!
She smacked her head on a wall of sharp rocks.
A scream pierced the air.
"Lauren!" Amanda yelled. It sounded so close. Almost...oh my cookies... it was on the other side of the rock she began to feel about and went under the water and soon found a small crack in the wall of boulders. Just small enough to fit her small waist. She went back up, gulped in air and went under. She squeezed though. Just as Lauren Landed on top of her.
Fighting the sudden urge to go to sleep she dragged Lauren to the surface Spluttering when she reached the surface she dragged Lauren up fighting to stay up as well.
"come on Lauren don't leave now!" She slapped Lauren no response. She looked up franticly and the beam of light from her flashlight found a black figure in the shadows.
"HELP!" she screamed.
The figure just stood there. Screaming in frustration she dragged Lauren and herself to the figure and grabbed onto it.
"If you didn't hear me you French freak," she said digging her nails into the figures leg.
"I said. Help!" The figure grabbed Laurens bare arm and dragged her out onto a smooth ledge.
Amanda heaved herself out as well and fell unconscious the second her wet body touched land.
"ohh...MY head." Amanda Moaned she was Laying on a stone floor in a what looked like a sitting room. She lept up and saw Lauren prowling the room like a caged tiger. She was growling and Limping on one of her feet. It was purple. She was still in her underwear.
"Lauren?" she moaned.
"Where In the Holy name of cookies are we. If I don't get out soon. I will kill someone."
"Lauren?"
"Oh, your awake are you." she said growling.
"Where are we?" Amanda said springing to her feet, her wet hair spinning around her.
"Kill me if I know." Lauren growled.
"But if I don't get out now. I swear-"
"Oh Lauren your foot!" she said. Pointing.
"I know."
Lauren began prowling about the room again. Amanda sat and watched, pulling her fingers though her hair.
"HA!" Lauren cried
Amanda sat up. Apparently she was sleeping.
Lauren was banging on a piece of wall.
"LET ME OUT YOU $&()#$&( #$&( #$&(!"
"Lauren.. Calm down!"
"Amanda! Lord you scared me!"
"Its a gift. What happened?"
"you fell asleep."
"I got that captain obvious!"
Lauren returned to banging on the door.
"Lauren you might want this." She handed Lauren a blanket.
"WHY would i want that?" Then she looked down.
"Oh."
she wrapped the blanket around her and resummed banging. Gave up and resolved to threats.
'YOU HAD BETTER LET ME OUT IF YOU LIKE YOUR FACE WHERE IT IS! YOU COWARD WHERE ARE YOU? AFFRAID OF ME!"
a laugh shut her up. It seemed to echo all over. Amanda saw Lauren shiver.
"WHERE THE FREAK ARE YOU!"
"Lauren." Amanda said,
"shut up."
Lauren opened her mouth. Then shut it then sat down and crossed her arms and glared at the walls.
"thank you Lauren."
"Now. Who ever is there, please show yourself."
"Mamsele, you should learn some lessons from your compainion." said the voice.
Lauren just glared, obeying Amanda by shutting up.
"Now" Said Amanda
"Will you please let us out" Amanda asked sweetly. Lauren set to pulling out the tangles from her blue hair. Still glareing. And began to curse under her breath but one look from Amanda shut her up good.
"No Mamsele I am afraid I cannot." the voice mussed.
"Why the freak not." Lauren asked.
"Because one. You didn't ask nicely. Two I don't Like you and three- you have blue hair."
Lauren glared at the walls.
"Can I kill Em' now Amanda?"
"no."
"Mamselle. I doubt you could kill me even If i wanted you to." The voice mussed. Lauren Looked at Amanda who was stareing intently at a wall. Lauren crossed her arms.
"how bout now Mandi?"
"No." She said absentmindedly
"Amanda, is that your name?" asked the voice.
"yes, it is."
"Lovely Name"
"Thank you."
"Most welcome."
"Please sir. What is your name?" asked Amanda. Lauren began wondering why she was so nice.
Amanda stood. And began walking around.
"That I am sorry but you can not know."
"Why not?" Amanda asked asking towards a wall.
No answer. Amanda turned and grinned to Lauren.
"Alright mandi!" Lauren whooped and walked over to the wall and they began to feel all over it. Lauren fingers pressed on the wood and suddenly it swung open. And a Man stood there in utter astonnishment. They sat on the floor equaly astonished.
"how did you-" he began
"Are you-" Amanda started to say.
"Oh."Lauren said.
Lauren stood and looked straight into the mans eyes.
"Hello Erik."
