JOURNEY TO THE DARKNESS: THE MYSTERIOUS CAVE

Sun was shining hard; above the head. It was hot summer and children were doing sunbath in their lawn. The swimming pools were crowded and malls, theaters and restaurants were pervading because summer vacations had began. They were playing JCQ monsters. Masie and Alex were cousins who lived in Carbondale. They were best friends more than cousins. Masie was an extrovert who had bunch of friends while Alex was shy who hardly had an ally. Masie lived in the mountainous region, so she knew every rock of it.

At night she often heard strange noise from a cave which was nearer to her house. After couple of days she noticed some red laser beeping on her window. When she opened the window there was only silence and looking at the sky at the bright shining moon and stars she thought that it might be an illusion. Next day when Alex visited her home, she told him about that strange illusion she faced at night the previous day. Alex was eager to know about the cave so they decided to visit it during noon as their parents were going for some trip to Chicago and will return after two days. They started packing their rucksack; keeping necessary things such as rope, food, energy drink, protein bars, etc. As soon as their parents left, they wore their shoes, buckled their bags and were ready for the first adventure “the mysterious cave”.

The slope they started climbing, had small pebbles and thorny bushes. It had a sign board indicating that, caves were closed for construction. Though it was a construction site, there were no workers sought neither there were machines. They found it strange. They continued their journey when Alex noticed that some shadow was following them. They stopped for a while. But as the time passed the shadow had disappeared. They finally reached the cave after walking for about two hours.

The cave was dark. Droplets of water were falling and cobwebs had made their way. The pathway was slippery and there were frizzes all around. Suddenly bats started flying over them. They ran and in a flash   a strong sway hit the cave, Masie got a sudden push and she was separated from Alex. Alex now was alone stuck in the deserted cave without evidence of Masie. He was shouting her name but there was no sign. He carried on with walking. The cave was going more mysterious. Deep within one could see paintings carved in it. The cave was now ended; he could only see rocks in front of him. He decided to return, when he saw that there was a small opening that will take him in the intense cave. He was walking when he spotted Masie lying unconsciously. He walked her up and made her sit. He gave some energy drink and protein bar; she was deeply injured on her hand so Alex did first aid and after taking some rest they continued their journey. Now Masie and Alex were lost in the cave. They were not able to find their way out. They were getting strained and the atmosphere around them was fidgety. There was no ray of hope of returning back when they saw something strange, something different, and something that did not seem normal. What was it?
