Chapter 4: Diamonds are not a girl's best friend.
After hurling up my breakfast and part of my fast dinner, I made my way over to Trevor and my mom. They were dusting themselves off and I noticed Sean. He was walking over to an opening in the wall that Trevor's cart had made.
"Uh, hey what's this?" that question seemed to be popping up alot now. Hannah walked over, followed by myself and Trevor.
"A secret cave?" I put out in the open. We carefully walked through the small opening and before I knew it we were surrounded by emeralds and rubies, and diamonds? While Trevor and Hannah were looking at the other minerals on the wall, me and Sean went to the diamonds. We were digging them out with either our hands or Sean's pocket knife. They were so beautiful, crystal clear and untouched my human hands. I through two.... or ten more diamonds into my bag and looked around.
"I'm rich," Sean sang out, putting the last diamond into his bag and turning. Trevor was spouting off about volcanic tubes or something similar. I walked a step and we all heard a loud cracking noise, it was coming from below us? Trevor looked at the ground as Hannah actually bent down and grazed the ground with her fingertips. Hannah looked at Trevor, then at me.
"Muskovite,"
"What's muskovite?"
"It's a very thin type of rock,"
"How thin?" I asked nervously.
"Well, the slightest change in pressure would crack it," Trevor replied, "move slowly over here," both Sean and I stepped heel-toe, heel-toe. We stopped of a slight moment and Sean slipped his backpack over his shoulder and a diamond dropped out of his bag and landed straight down and then crack! We watched intensely when nothing happened everyone laughed and sighed, then the ground slipped from under us.
We were screaming for several moments, then stopped. We all looked at each other and down, we started talking, or more like screaming.
"WE'RE STILL FALLING!?!" Trevor screamed. Then like Christmas carolers we all screamed in chorus. Oh god, my other half of my dinner, I thought covering my mouth. I let go and grabbed the nearest persons hand, which happened to be Sean's. We all linked hands and continued to scream. The fall got drastic and we let go.
"Trevor, what's at the bottom?!" Sean screamed over to him. He started spouting off about spets or something similar to that.
"Or the cave could have eroded to fill with water," he paused for breath, "kinda like a water slide," I could hear Sean next to me,
"Water slide, please be a water slide," my eyes widened in fear.
"I don't know how to swim though," I don't think anyone heard me.
"Or we can be skewered," Hannah replied. Sean looked from my mom to Trevor and started screaming starting a chain reaction. After a few more moments of falling tiny bubbles erupted from the darkness. They were splashing me?
"Water?!" my mom yelled, touching her cheek.
"Yes, water," Trevor replied as calmly as he could.
"Water slide," I could hear Sean repeat continuously.
"Here it comes, hang on!" Trevor yelled over Sean's loud mumbling. We all screamed louder than times before and then I hit cold water. I started screaming even more as we washed down the tunnel like structure. I tried to find anyone else, no such luck. I finally spotted Sean and tried to move over. I was so close until we landed butt first into water. I started kicking my way through the water; very slowly. My legs were getting tired as I tried to reach Sean and Trevor with no success, I stopped and rested from kicking. I saw Trevor jump back into the water to help my mom. As I finally reached surface, someone grabbed my arm and helped me up.
I was panting like a dog in Summer. I looked up and noticed it was Sean.
"Thanks,"
"No prob," he said as he went to help my mother out of the water. I slipped off my jacket and stuffed it inside my bag. Now a wet shirt was sticking to me like honey on bees. I fell back as did Sean, my mom, and Trevor. I closed my eyes as my heart went back down to its normal rate.
"Is it just me or is the ceiling moving?" I heard Sean ask.
"It's probably the water's reflection,"
"I think I see it too," I took Sean's side. Staring up at the ceiling, it started to fall. They were glowing birds? We all stood up in amazement as my mouth was set a gap.
