It started with a look

Moles! Worms! Ants! Oh my! 2

(Rose POV)

We've been bobbing in this sludge for a while now and I'm starting to feel sick "Can we get out now?" Tania gagged

"No!" The little Mole growled "This is both your faults. If you'd just shut up and listen to me, we wouldn't be in this situation"

"I mean, you forgot to tell us about the slime nest" I countered

"I think the sludge is in my vagina" Tania groaned "You know how many douche thingys I'm going to have to use?"

"Will you both be quiet!" Portafle snaps

"Look who's being loud now?" Tania quirks. Moley groans and then we hear a sound, like an electric sander. It was so loud and twiney, almost shrill like "What the hell is that?"

"They're asleep" Portafle says and swims to the side of the pit "Now climb out and be very quiet"

"How the fuck are we supposed to do that?" I ask

"Meh" He shrugs "Just marinate for all I care" He scales the wall with ease and smirks down at us "Enjoy being chewed"

"You mother fuck" Tania growls. She expertly climbs the wall in anger, reaching for the Mole and pulling him off the wall so he lands back in the sludge. She get to the top and stands proudly with her hands on her hips "Fucking bastard"

I look at Portafle and he has a smile on his sludge covered face "You sneaky prick" I chuckle

"You want me to help you climb out as well?" He quirks

"Nope. I got it" I dug my hands into the dirt walls, surprising they hold firm. My feet were another story. Only having one shoe on, my barefoot kept slipping

"Give me your hand" My best friend said as she reached for me

Jumping up a bit, I gripped her hand and she pulled me up the rest of the way "Thanks babe"

Mole man wasn't far behind as we started to walk towards the exit of the sludge "Now please be quiet" Portafle whispered "Please, I beg you" Both Tania and I make a zipping motion with our mouths and Moley nods, satisfied. Looking out of our little cavern, we see dozens of giant worms laying around snoring "The exit is over there" He point to a tunnel opposite to where we are "Don't step on anything and don't touch anything. Be as quiet as you can or we're all dead" Tania and I both nod and follow Portafle out into the open

We walk around a worm that is closest to us, only to come face to face with another. The worm huffs and sniffs the air before snoring once more. Moley points to the left and we follow him as he leads us around another worm

The air is tense as we tiptoe closer to freedom

Then Tania fucked up

I hear her whimper behind me and turn in horror, to see her foot in slime. The closest worm, suddenly wakes up and extends to its full height

It let's out a loud screech and one by one, the worms wake up

"Shit" I gasp

"RUN!" Portafle screams and takes off towards the exit

I grab Tania's hand and help her pull her foot out of the slime, before we quickly follow the Mole

The sound of rumbling and snapping echo around us as we dodge and duck from their attacks

Tania gets knocked sideways by the tail of a worm and she takes me with her. We hit the wall hard and it takes me a few seconds to get my vision back

Just in time, I duck as a mouth of a worm moves inches from my face
