The bus driver stops at a large tree with a sign nailed to it. It's mostly rusted over, and all that's visible on it is a red arrow pointing left.
Without saying a word, he follows the arrow, and we gradually get deeper into the forest. |

"Okay, now, I'm pretty sure it didn't say the cave was in a dark forest on the sign up sheet..." I say laughing nervously. |

I grunt in response but don't reply. I'm not sure what to tell him... |

The bus driver stops, his eyes searching the landscape. Eventually, he grunts in satisfaction and continues.
After a few more minutes of walking, we reach a giant hole in the ground. Darkness pours into it, and the bus driver shines his torch into the abyss.
"This is it. Set up your stuff and have fun. I'll be waiting just outside until morning."
Me and Janet proceed to hook our ropes to a solid tree trunk near the hole, ready to climb down. |
|
|
I put my hand in front of them, telling them to wait. I quickly strike a flare against the wall. Setting it alight, I throw it down into the cave, it bounces of the sides of the cave a few times before landing on the ground about half a mile down the cave.
"Hm, should the cave be this far down?" I ask Janet. |

I look around before grabbing a glow stick, with a few cracks it lights up and I drop it down, counting,"(Insert distance to bottom here)" I mutter before grabbing my rope and counting out the length. |

"No idea. I've not been to this site before... I guess if the driver says it's fine, it must be."
Me and Eliza attach our harnesses to the rope, then sit on the edge of the hole.
"Welp, it's now or never."
I push myself down and gradually descend, with Eliza just behind me. |

I stare at the dark seemingly bottomless pit "Do we even have enough rope to get down there?" I ask aloud. |

"I hope so!" I shout back.
Janet's satisfied grunting is heard as she reaches the bottom and turns on her helmet light. Eventually, I reach the ground as well. |

Johnny attached his rope around a large rock, and began to climb down. Eventually, he reached the bottom as well.
"Damn, can't see a thing around here..." He said aloud, and turned his flashlight on. |

After throwing about twice the length needed plus extra down, I tie a complicated knot to the end around a tree before heading down.
By the time I reach the bottom and have a light shining I am working with the knot, within seconds it comes loose and the entire thing loops back, the end from above falling down as I recoil it.

I follow suite, lighting another flare when I hit the ground.

"Woo-hoo! Eliza, you gotta come see this! It's amazing!" Janet's voice calls out from one end of the cave.
I carefully follow her voice, and breathe a sigh of amazement at what she had found.
A massive tunnel made of rocks stood in front of me and Janet, with water trickling down in fast succession. If it was morning, then we would have been able to see this in its full glory. |

I walked over, standing behind them, "Hoollllyyy....." I muttered. |

"Well, we'll wait for the others then explore this place I guess..."
I light a flare, then throw it near the cavern to see it better. |

I scuttle back into the shadows quietly, shielding my face as something begins to burn my eyes....

"Come on!" I beg Eliza. "Let's just go inside, the others will know where we've gone."
Eliza
I sigh and turn back to Leon.
"Hey, we're just going to look around a bit. We won't go far, tell the others." |

"Do I have to stay behind?" I asked, slightly disappointed.
Crawler thingy
I heard something like talking, but it was hard to make out. But I knew the sound pitch.....people..... |
|
|
"Er, Leon, is it? You don't have to stay behind. I don't mean to sound weird, but you want to...er...explore together? This entire thing looks like a death trap, but maybe it's me." |

We come to a stop as the cavern gets so tight that we have to squeeze through.
"We should wait for the others before we go through here", I suggest.
Janet nods; for once she agrees with me. |
|
|
{Edgeworth}
I quickly run up behind Janet and stand beside her, looking down into the cavern, but I feel a weird feeling, like something is watching me, or is close to me...
(The Creature)
Human. Flesh... craving, must feed... must eat...
|
|
|
{Edgeworth}
I turn around and I spot another cave heading downwards, without saying a word I walk down it.
(The Creature)
Yes... he's on his own... now's time to feed...
{Edgeworth}
I hear a low growling as I descend further into the cave, I start getting uneasy and drop the flare that was flickering out of existence. I take out another flare and strike it... It didn't light, I strike it again... still no light, I strike it a third time and it lights. I hear a piercing scream, and look around. Disorientated, I feel something sharp dig into the back of my thigh. I scream out in pain. |
|

Johnny snaps his attention to the scream, and turned to where the two other people went.
"I'm going to see what that was. Catch up with the others, I'm sure it was nothing." He said, and went after Edgeworth. |

Janet and I spin our heads around to the sound of screaming.
"What the hell was that?!" Janet asks me, her voice wild with fear.
"I don't know! Stay here!"
With that, I run off to find the sound of screaming. |

I immediately turn and take off towards the sound of screaming, pulling out my axe just in case somethings wrong.
