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

Specially from Natalie~
