Special: Caves of Death Chapter2

Caves of Death
Chapter 2
  "Who's that?" The mysterious man asked again. Another torch was seen in dark, it was his.
  Their eyes met.
  The mysterious man seemed surprise, no one would not be surprised to see four person teamed with so many pets along.
  Meanwhile, Tony seemed like he freaked out. Or maybe freaked out in JOY?
  "Nathaniel!"Tony ran and hugged the mysterious man.
  He was Nathaniel? Don't care, after all we can finally get out of here.Nat thought.
  Surely, Nathaniel was shocked. Every one would when a stranger came hugging you and calling you by your name.
  "Tony?"Nathaniel guessed.
  "Yes! I can't believe that you are still alive!" Tony was so happy until he looked like he was going to burst into tears.
  "Touching,but lame." commented Tha. No good words would came out from Tha if it's for Tony. It couldn't be blamed since they were enemies since they were seven.
  "Kay, Tony. You've found your friend,and now can we leave this caves now?" Jen asked.
  "Sure thing!" Tony answered.
  "No,you can't. I've tried to leave here too." Nathaniel stopped them.
  "Why?" Since there was an entrance,there must be an exit too.Natalie thought.
  "Because......"Before Nathaniel could finish his answer, a gigantic bat flew past us and took Nathaniel with it!
  "Ahh!!"Jen screamed.
  The bat was way bigger than any bats we seen in our entire life--- it was bigger than any bats in that heap.
  "Nathaniel!!"Tony called for him. The person he found a minute ago dissapeared a minute later.How pity.
  If curiosity kills the cat, whereas only satisfaction can bring it back. Tony wasn't satisfied for just finding his childhood friend for a blink of eye only.

                                                                                                                                  Natalie

#8: Trapped

ps. this is Jen's POV.

  "We better get out of here!!!" said Trick with his voice quavering. His eyes were full with fear.
  Everybody dashed to find the nearest exit.
  " Hey, where's the door?!" Tony exclaimed as the door that supposed to be there disappeared.
  "Obviously the exit's gone! How stupid." Tabitha snickered as she rolled her eyes.
  " What are we going to do?" cried Natalie in despair "It's all your fault, Tony! Look at all the trouble you caused! " She continued.
  "Excuse me! The trouble I caused? Who was the agreeing with my bet earlier huh?" Tony was defending himself.
  "Okay! Gawd! Stop the fight! We gotta get out of here before something worst happens!" Jen cried.
 " This place looks like a maze.." Tabitha said as her voice trailed off when the metal doors shake and screams were heard once again.
  Shivers were running down up and down their spine as the criminals scream in pain were to be heard as if they were terribly abused.
  "Remember what the beggar told us? This prison has been here during the World War II... and the souls of the abused to death did not rest in peace and came back for vengeance!" Tabitha said worriedly.
 "That old beggar's theories are nonsense only." Tony snickered.
 "After all these ghostly figures appearing and you still don't believe in the beggar? How stubborn can you get??" Jen exclaimed.
  " REVENGE" He said with a high tone as a wicked smile spread through Trick. His eyes were different, it wasn't the ordinary brown, it was as red as blood.......

The following is by Tabitha

  "Uh-oh. The fox has gone wild." Natalie sighed dryly. "And it's not like we can just shoot him."
  "You think you can escape from me? I'm sorry, no." A voice spoke. We froze. However, the voice was not Trick's, nor whatever thing that currently inhabited his body. It was another one. The one that caused us to panic and ran just now.
  The threat was not headed to us. We soon understood this when Trick turned from us abruptly and glared at the voice's direction. There was something in his glare, an expression difficult to understand or explain. Unreadable. It was hatred. Pure hatred. Yet there was also fear. "No? No? NO? NO!" It screamed with that earsplitting high voice. The two creatures terrorizing us had distinctly different voices. The 'voice', still unseen, is male but sweet-sounding with some laughing edge to it, as if it was enjoying itself; while the thing haunting Trick is screeching kind of mindlessly.
  A corner of a red cloak showed from the corner. The voice's owner walked slowly towards us, or rather Trick, to be precise. His face, pale, twisted into an evil laugh, the fangs showing...

Special: Caves of Death-Chap1

This is a special story different from "The Haunted Prison" The characters are almost the same except for the absence of Trick. Actually, this story was written last year, but I editted some boring parts and type it out. Enjoy!~

Caves of Death
Chapter 1
  "Are you sure? It's dangerous!" Tabitha said. Anxiously.
  They were planing to go on a trip with our pets, but the only travel set that allowed to bring our pets along is a trip to the famous 'Caves of Death' in Bali.(I don't think it really existed,LOLS)
   Exploring the six caves are very dangerous. Many people disappeared mysteriously every year. When they are found, they are dead. That's not the scariest part, because the bodies looked as if it was sucked in. Not only are there human corpses,but also animal bodies! Some of them had already rotted away into bones!
  "Relax Tha! It's just rumours!" Tony replied. Tha rolled her eyes.
  The decision at last was to go.

  A few hours flight to Bali, and a few hours drive to the caves. The driver seemed to have heard the rumours before and left us at a place quite far from the caves. Without any choices left, we had to walk. Tony was so excited all the way long.
  Nat and her cat,Vironica, Tha and her cat,Velvet, Jen,Tony and his dog,Sebestian reached their final destination.
  The minute they stepped into the cave, Tha knew something wasn't right. It was just ......so creepy and too quite. The caves were echoing the sound they made only.....The atmosphere was abnormal. For example, there was not a bat to be seen--- at least not at the openning.
  " I think we'd better go out. This is place is making me uncomfortable." exhaled Jen.
  But, Tony refused.
  " No, I wanted to get to the bottom of this!"
  It was so unlike his usual self. Tha thought. But it was none of her business, she forgot that immediately.
  "If you are afraid, then go back! Scaredy cats!" Tony continued.
  Viron and Velvet seemed to understand Tony's words and meowed angrily at him. Being teased as scared,their mistresses were angrier than their pets, they even shivered in anger. But, Tony thought that they were shivering in fear.
  Nat and Tha walked deeper into the caves with their pets, Jen followed them,leaving Tony behind. Just to show that they weren't afraid.
  After ten minutes of their adventure in the 'Caves of Death',much to their dissapointment, they found nothing. Not even another people adventuring like them.
  Natalie felt Viron was uneasy. Viron's fur was standing up. Viron was looking to the left although she was walking straight. Nat followed her cat's sight.
  Suddenly, Nat who was standing by the most left gasped. She pointed her finger to a heap of unclear things to the left, closing her nose. They finally found something other than rocks.
  It looked exactly like a heap of rocks. But the closer you go, the clearer you get the creepy image, the thicker that rotten foul smell get.
  It was a heap of bat corpses. It seemed like the bats were killed and was grouped into a heap. But that's not the wierdest, because the bats were all longer than a metre, their wing span was about 3metres! It was way larger than how a normal bat should be! It was bigger than an eagle!
  Maybe the rumours are real after all......
  Tha ewwed in digust. Jen looked as if she wanted to throw out. But different from the others, Tony seemed to become more exciting than before. But a different type of excited that normal people had. Well, the usual he is abnormal enough already.
  "Let's go deeper!!" He suggested.
  "You are strange today."exclaimed Nat."Why did you wanted to get to the bottom of the caves so badly?" Vironica meowed after her mistress. Even Viron felt something is wrong with Tony.
  Tony ignored Nat's question and continued his adventure. Jen followed him immediately. Not to adventure the cave further more, but to run away from that smelly rotten bats. She wouldn't want to puke there of course.
  As Nat and Tha couldn't leave their friend,(Jen ONLY, Tony is surely not considered a friend to Tha<I might be killed in real life by Tha if I didn't add this"Jen only"> ) they followed the other two and a dog.
  Out of the blue, Tony started to talk. "It was my neighbour, a childhood friend of mine." With a quite sad sound. The others were surprised for his sudden answer.
  "He was missing. Here." He continued.
   "So?He might have died." Tha felt no pity for Tony, or his whatever childhood friend. "Since there had been many before him."
  " I am finding for him!Even if he became bones."Tony answered Tha's question.
  That explains why he was wierder than usual.
  "His name is Nathaniel Aldon. He loved exploring. This was the last place he explored." Tony continued.
  A silence was formed in the darkness of the caves. They continued walking, Tony continued his finding for corpses,to be exact, Nathaniel's corpse.
  A bark broke the silence. It was Sebestian.
  Something was not right.
  The gravity was changing its place!A little by little, and becoming faster and faster. A dark hole existed from no where. Small rocks were sucked into it, their clothes and hair was being pulled to the hole as they watched the hole in horror.
  Imaginations flew wild in that spilt second...
  Sucked in, corpses, bones, DEATH.
  "Helppppp!!!"
  Yelling for help was all they could do.
  Their minds were blank because of fear as they were drawn closer and closer to the hole. They tried to grab something, a big rock or whatever else. But there were nothing close enough.
  "Meowwww.................."
  It was the last echo.

  Black. Pitch-black. Total silence.
  Nothing else.
  Am I alive?Where am I?Are the others all right?How's Viron?
  Natalie was on the ground after entering that black hole.
  "Tha? Jen? Viron?" she wondered if they were with her.  Or to be exact, she wished them to be here.Even if it was just a cat. No one wants to be left alone in such a creepy place.
  She sat on the ground. She got no answer. Totally helpless. Lost of hope.
  A light was to be seen in the dark in a sudden. The change was too big and sudden. She closed her eyes naturally.
  She opened her eyes slowly.
  Someone was pointing the light to her. Who will it be? A friend or a foe?
  It was Tha! Nat cried happily and hugged her best friend, Tha.
  "Nat! Are you fine?"
  "Yes. I'm glad you came!"
  Tha observed the surroundings. Nat switched on her torchlight that she forgotten a minute ago.
  Nat sniffed the air. Smell stinks, but not rotten.
  "What's this horrible smell?" Nat asked in disgust.
  "Bat poo.I suspose." Tha looked at the ground. Velvet was just by her side.
  Nat saw Velvet. She remembered about her Viron.
  "Have you seen Viron? Or maybe Jen and the others?" Nat asked, worrying about her cat and friends.
  "Nah, when I woke up all I knew is Velvet licking me, waking me up. Then we went on a search, and the first was you." Tha's answer wasn't satisfying.
  Footsteps were heard after Tha's answer. The footsteps were echoing and confused Nat and Tha for finding the direction of sounds.
  What should they do? Should they hide themselves? Or be prepare to run?
  Before they could discuss and end up with a conclusion, two torches were to be seen.
  "Meow!"
  It was Viron! Nat recognised her meow.
  Nat,Tha,Jen,Tony and their pets met up.
  They were so relieved and happy,but not Tony.
  "Let's get out of here!"Jen suggested.
  "Sure!" Nat wouldn't want to stay in this cave another second.
  "I agree. But HOW? We are lost." Tha dug out her compass from her bag pack. But the compass was not working. There's something wrong with the magnetic field around here.
  "No, we can't leave yet. I haven't found Nathaniel's body." Tony was very determined. Annoyingly determined to find that body.
   "
  They continued walking without a destination set. The girls hoped to get out, but the boy wanted to hunt more.
  "Who's that?" a man's voice was echoed in the caves......
  <To be continued>
Who's that? A question which everyone wanted to know, including the mysterious man and the team of four.....
Watch out for the second chapter! ;p
