A/N: Chapter 2 is up, I must admit that I had so much fun writing this small chapter. Well thats it. R&R :)
Chapter 2
Level X
The wheels of the cart squealed as they effortlessly turned in the air. The noise echoed and bounced back and forth against the jagged walls of the dark cave. Eric groaned as he recovered consciousness, the cold stone didn't feel very comfortable especially if your face hit it full speed. He got back to his feet and cursed as he saw the extensive damage to his prosthetic, the fist is almost completely mangled and the protective plates are either banged up or missing. Thankfully he didn't break any bones, preety much unscathed, but what about Jake? Eric snapped his head around the small shaft of light that barely lit up the chamber. A figure is laying not far.
Eric quickly darted towards Jake and tried to wake his friend up.
"Hey. Wake up."
"Just five more minutes, mom." Jake slurred, still aparently out of it. Eric only frowned and shook even more.
"Jake!"
Jake stirred up at the sudden yelling and opened his eyes. His eyes darted to several places, in an attempt to reassure himself if this is a dream or plain, HARD, reality. Eric sadly looked at his friend, recognizing what his friend was trying to do, he helped him up and checked for any wounds. Seeing none, Eric went to check if their backpacks are anywhere near and let Jake get over the shock, Jake was a sturdy guy, he would get through it.
Eric returned not long after with the two backpacks with a sigh of relief. He placed them down and took out several torches. Meanwhile Jake is trying to determine the hight of the entry hole from where they entered.
"I say about 30 blocks high. Damn..."
"And we didn't bring any wood or stone with us?"
"Nope."
"Don't you think this accident is a bit odd?" Eric asked after litting up the small chamber. Two passageways lead out of the chamber, each on the opposite side.
"Well, I don't remember leaving a bloody hole in the tracks!" Jake raised his voice.
"Quiet please... I don't know what I saw before we ended up here but... I think I saw two long black hands rip the iron like it was ricepaper, not even a zombie has that kind of strenght." Eric slightly shivered as he remembered one almost fatal encounter with one of the undead denizens of the world's chambers. His shiver intensified even more as there exists something that is even stronger.
Jake looked at him in disbelief "Are you sure? Maybe it's just we both forgot to put a set of tracks on that part."
"Jake, I never fool around in a mine. You know that."
"Yeah, yeah." Jake waved his hands and stared back up at the shaft, "So... What are we gonna do?"
Well we could carve a staircase up." Eric gave an idea.
"That would take ages. Even with an iron pick. Maybe one of these tunnels leads up?" Jake gestured towards the two pitch black passages.
"Well, I guess this is our only option." Eric shrugged and picked up his backpack. Jake did the same and now the two friends are staring into the passages, not sure which one to pick. Jake finally noticed the state in which is his friend's prosthetic.
"Hey, your arm."
"That is the last of our worries. Anyway, which way do you propose?"
"Hmm, I'm slightly baffeled, we apparently fell 30 blocks down from level 16. Shouldn't we be at bedrock?"
"Wait? We fell 30 or less blocks? No way!" Eric stared at the shaft in slight fear.
"I am never wrong about hight. But if we are beneath bedrock, then what level are we?"
Eric tried to keep calm, no man has passed the bedrock barrier. And now apparently they have just by falling without seeing a trace of bedrock.
"We have passed the barrier... But that is impossible."
"We should settle this when we get back home. Now pick." Jake cut into Eric's thoughts.
Eric shook his head to get rid of the thoughts that littered his mind and set his focus on the issue infront of him.
"Let's go left. I feel a slight wind going through there." He pointed towards the tunnel from his left side. Jake nodded in agreement and entered first. The pair left the chamber with only a row of lonesome torches to light their way back.
A/N: Decided to end it there. Onward to chapter 3! (Which will be longer)
