The group stood up and checked themselves they walked around a bit explored but they didn't have the guts to go further than the circular room they were but they did find something in there that shocked every bone inside them.

- Guuyyyys – Darla cried out – What is this ?

- I – I don't - Caleb said stuttering over his words

- It looks like a preservation pod – Holly said looking around it

- How do you know that Miss. White i suggest you step away from it this instant – Miss Bouchard said in a commanding tone

- I read many scifi books miss and right now everything adds up, there are panels, devices and some kind of old writing ont he walls AND you can clearly see there's something that has two legs in this thing, I say its a preservation pod and I bet those pannels open it – Holly stated smartly

- pff Yeah right – Caleb said

- What was that – Connor and Lily asked worriedly

- It sounds like someone hide – The techer said

- Ouch – Lily cried out as she knocked something over

- Who's there? – A female voice came from behind the corner of an entrance

...

Luna and her team arrived at an entrance of a cave they looked around and found the symbols that matched the ones on the map.

- Alright lets figure this out you turn that symbol Josh and I'll turn this one but we have to be in perfect sync – Luna said

- Wait – he said uncertainty clear in his voice

- What is it? – She asked

- You sure this is ok to do ? He asked worried

- Its what we HAVE to do – She replied

- Ok lets do this – Josh stepped up next to her as they turned the symbols they had to dig out from under the snow

- Way to go – Aphra told Luna as they got their flashlights and entered

- Come on this way – Luna told them

- There around that corner – Aphra said and just then something knocked over

- Who's there? – Luna shouted raising her stunner

They walked into a room to reveal a dark blonde haired girl standing with her hands up and behind her a group of teenagers with an adult the team was suprised at their presence but lowered the guns as they clearly saw that these were tourists.

- Who are you people? - Josh questioned as he raised his stunner aswell

- We're tourists and she needed to go and we fell in here and please don't kill us – Lily said while closing her eyes

- We're not going to kill you dumbass – Luna said very annoyed at the fact that these were tourists

- Ok and who are you – Holly said stepping up and looking Luna feircly in the eyes taunting her

- Feisty ! ... Lieutenant Colonel Luna Sheppard United States Air Force, this is my 2IC Major Josh Fuller and our teammate uhm Captain Laura Smith – She said and gave Aphra a sympathetic look

- Lieutenant Colonel ? what the you're way too young, you three are merely young adults fooling around

- Uh excuse me? who might you be – Luna asked fire burning in her eyes

- Kate Bouchard I'm their teacher – She said proudly

- Well Miss i regret to inform you that you are a teacher but NOT our CO and we are infact AF personnel how'd you guys even end up here?

- We – The teacher started but Luna cut her off

- I want to hear it from her – She said pointing at Holly

- She well we needed to go to the washroom and we lost the signal to our map so we just thought if we went straight we'd see it –

- Washroom? – Josh cut her off

- They're Canadian Josh – Luna answered pointing at the pin on the teachers jacket

- Yes we are, as I was saying we didn't see it so we stopped i started to notice that we were sinking and just as we acknowledged it we fell down into here – Holly finished

- so the ice and snow collapsed under you ? how did you ever survive that fall - Aphra looked at them questioningly

- Luck i guess - Lily answered her

- Ok lets get you out there is an entrance this way come one – Luna said but Aphra stepped in their way

- Actually Colonel We've got a problem …. the door closed – Aphra said

- What ?

- Yeah We tried to open it but it didn't budge – Josh said

- Uhm Colonel ? –Holly asked quietly

- Yes ? – Luna answered pinching the bridge of her nose.

- Well we've been here like 2 minutes before you and your team arrived and we think we found something – Holly stated looking towards the weird glowing pod

- Yeah Holly thinks its some kind of pod with aliens in it its pathetic – Caleb said as Darla nodded

Luna walked over to the pod looking confused and tried to make out the figure she saw, it was definietly a living thing but way to big to be a human.

- Holly's right it has something in it that walks on two legs – Luna said looking at Josh and then at Aphra

- Aphra whats wrong ? - Josh asked worriedly looking at a very pale and panicked Aphra

- The sign – she pointed toward the bottom of the pod

- Josh ? – Luna asked as she now saw her two shocked friends looking at something

- Luna it's – he tried to signal it so the others wouldn't know

- Josh they already know whatever's in there isn't human and i think its safe to say they already saw much more than they should've so just say it. – Luna started to loose her temper as she said

- It's a wraith – Aphra said before josh could

- A what and isn't her name Laura – Connor asked?

- No its Aphra, Aphra Dex she is also an well an Alien she's from a place called New Athos it's a long story...

The group was about to burst into laughter but they saw the serious faces of the team...

- HOLY SHIT, and the other one this wraith – Lily asked

- That one is a bitch

- Is it gonna ruin my hair? – Darla cried out and Luna turned to her very annoyed with how Darla was acting

- It's a slimy Alien Blondie ofcourse its gonna ruin your hair – Luna stated as the others chuckled

- It's Darla i'll have you know and this style was really expensive – she said

- Oh i know – Luna chuckled

- Alright Colonel what's a wraith anything to know about it weakness strength what can it do? what we can do ? – Holly asked standing next to the pod looking at the blurred creature

- I like her can we keep her – Luna asked Josh

- sure – Josh laughed

- Well a wraith is an alien and not a friendly one it has a mouth on its hand it uses that to feed on life and take it away from you leaves you looking like and old man you can't shoot it our guns don't effect it but you can use …. these, these are stunners you can set it to stun and kill this puppy works on them perfectly and we need it alive so we can only stun it but the effect doesn't last long

- We need to get out of here now Colonel – the teacher said

- We can't no rope no climbing and no door the only way is through there – Luna said pointing at the dark hallway in front of them

- It atlantian – Aphra stated

- Yes it is probably built by the ancients before they even built Atlantis because i don't recognize these symbols on the panel but those over on the column i do – Luna said

- Uhm excuse me did you just say Atlantis ? like the lost city of Atlantis? – Lily asked shocked by everything

- Yes that Atlantis thats also another long story... but we need to get out of here fast because if this wraith wakes up from his everlasting slumber it will be VERY hungry – Luna said as she took out two stunners, gave one to Holly and took one herself

- Whats this? – Holly asked

- Its a stunner keep it at all times so if we're not there you have defence, and you're the only one i trust with these out of all of you so please don't let me down

- I won't Colonel, I promise – She said proudly, Holly always wanted to join the military so the fact that Luna intrusted her with something like that only 10 minutes after meeting her... meant a lot to Holly.

- Oh and it's Luna drop the Colonel...

- Done – She said

- you do need to listen to me tho

- yes ma'am - Holly said sheepishly

And so the team enbarked on their quest and entered the dark hallways...
