The Train Disaster

~Through The Secret Passage~

  Celine pulled Amelia and Cathy behind her and she crept a little forward to see who it was..

She peeped a little and went pale for what she saw!

"Hurry, let's go! " she said turning to them. And with that she pulled the two of them( who were as confused as possible) into the narrow passage. She didn't let any of them talk! A moment later, she suddenly stopped..

"What happened? Is everything alright?" Whispered Amelia.

"Oh god! There is a large Boulder, blocking the way!... Now how are we going to pass through it? I'm just too nervous we would be too late!" She said looking scared..

Amelia looked at her face which was gloomier than a groundhog who has just seen his shadow.

"Oh! Do look here! There is a crack slit in this very huge boulder!" Amelia observed as she brushed off the sand off the slit.

"Oh man! I'm too tired! Everything is too complicated!" Said Cathy as she sat on a slab like stone.

Suddenly they heard a noise which they thought was loud!
And then Cathy saw a part the stone wall come out and inside was a neat shining polished silver shovel!!

"A shovel??" The three of them cried in unison..

"What is it doing in here?" They said again.

Truth be told, There they saw a silver shovel,neatly polished..so neat that they could see their own reflection! It was hanging under a fire torch!! The dusty stone wall had revealed a shovel! Whatever was it used for? They thought.

Celine realized what it was for and with a quick jerky movement, she took off the shovel off its place.

"Oh Cathy! It was good of you to sit on that slab like stone!" Exclaimed Amelia clapping her hands.

"What? Why was it good?" Asked Catherine confused.

"For this slab was actually a mechanism thing which will slid open the secret little door where the shovel was kept! Oh but I do wonder whatever is this shovel use for!" Said Amelia making Celine smile.

Suddenly they heard some footsteps behind them!! Celine quickly inserted the shovel inside the crack which Amelia had seen earlier..

And a moment later with a roaring sound, the huge and large boulder rolled on the other side revealing a shining golden door!! They all gasped as they were taken by surprise.

No sooner had Celine pulled Amelia and Cathy inside the door, the big Large boulder rolled back to its place with a roaring sound and then the place was silent.. (So silent you could hear a butter drop!!)
They were scared to death! Why did the Boulder had to make such a terrific sound? They thought as their heart were beating fast...

There were torches everywhere lighting the whole underground place, the three of them stood silent whose minds were blank as to what should they do next!
There were total 2 rooms inside the little hall whose door was shut tightly.
The three of them glanced around. Then Cathy caught a glimpse of some dusty wooden stairs.. They could barely make out, for they were covered with sand..
The three of them slowly lifted their trembling legs and finally took a step forward. The were already sweating with cold shivers and were gulping hard. Until Cathy chocked and she wanted to cough but Amelia and Celine glared at her motioning her to keep quite or she would give them away..

And as a result, she turned purple in the face until Amelia who took pity on her and covered her face with her red cherry blossom designed handkerchief. She coughed till she was relieved and then slowly with trembling legs, they made their way up the stairs and they found themselves on the lower-upper floor. The ceiling was just above them! It was too low to walk..
They wondered if the thieves were short!
   They found a little door there.. They moved towards it slowly and carefully. Their eyes were glued on the Mysterious door and Amelia accidentally stepped on something which was below her feet making a sound. She was lucky enough as she hadn't jumped over it or the sound would be more terrible!

Celine glared at her for she dint wanted to be caught when she was in the middle of such a nice investigation! Amelia gave her a nervous smile..

Then they slowly went towards the door and put their ears on the door incase, they would be able to hear something or what's going on inside the room! Although their hearts tore and when they were scared to death, they still took risk by putting their ears on the door..

Celine and Amelia who were just in front of the door, couldn't hear anything, they pulled little Cathy behind them..

Cathy pushed Amelia a little in order to listen too, but Amelia was too busy trying to hear what was going on inside! So she blocked Cathy's way and pushed her towards the stone wall and at that very time Cathy accidentally press the alarm button!!

     The alarm button started ringing as it was making horrifying sounds, tearing the three of them's hearts!!...

Meanwhile, Mr Watson jumped in as there was no stairs to go down! He wore his black mask and had a gun filled with all five bullets kept in his pocket He fell the same way as Celine and the others did..

Mr Watson brushed off the sand off his cloth and moved just in time to see Marco falling right on him! Marco fell down and groaned... Mr Watson helped him get up and then with the torch, he shone it everywhere but he couldn't find any door or something where they could continue...

"I do wonder where is the secret thing to go through.." He said as Marco followed him..

"May I ask... How do you know that?" Asked Marco curiously..

"If there isn't anything here from which we can continue, then where are the others??" He asked Marco who turned bright red with embarrassment..

Marco took a step back and he was standing right on top of the lid!

"Oh oh... I think there's something under me!!" He told Mr Watson who shone his torch under him and pushed him for he was still standing on it..

Mr Watson opened the lid and discovered a hole.. Without hesitating, he jumped in and fell down and down the long hole and finally fell down on the rough! He got up and brushed off the sand off his coat. Although it was dark around him, he somehow felt something and moved away and there came his trusty assistant tumbling down clumsily as the torch he bought fell in front of Mr Watsons foot. He moaned as he got up..

Mr Watson took the torch and shone the light and helped Marco get up..

Mr Watson took the torch and shone the light and helped Marco get up..

Then they went on and on, it was so dark they could hardly see their own palms!
After a while, Mr Watson spotted the narrow winding passage which The three of them had passed through. Suddenly they heard a loud sound of something moving from the passage full of. torches...they thought it was the three of them but they heard the voice from the opposite side of the narrow passage! They were puzzled as to where should they go?!
