TERCEIRA, WEST CAVERN IN ALGAR DO CARVÃO
❝Sam--❞
Serenity stepped back out of fear, right into Sam's chest---
And suddenly, they were airborne, literally.
Turns out, a pressure plate and a net were buried beneath a thick layer of sand. How Serenity or Sam didn't step on it earlier? Who knew? it was some miracle. Or perhaps it was just the lucky coin working its magic? If so, how come it wasn't working right now?
❝OH mY gOD!❞
Sam shouted in Serenity's ear and if they weren't catapulting fifteen feet in the air, inside of a net, the girl would've told him to shut the fuck up.
❝AHHHHHHH!❞ Serenity joined in.
Although they were wrapped in a net, fifteen feet off the ground, squished against one another, Serenity straddling Sam, they were extremely aware of their surroundings. Especially when the screeching sound of a CRACK made itself known, echoing through the rather large cavern.
Their heads snapped in the direction of the creak. Turns out, the net was attached to some old ass rotten wood pulley system, yes, rotten. Meaning, the mechanism could not handle the weight of two adults.
❝Serenity-- Serenity--❞ Sam grasped her arm panicked, ❝It's gonna break,❞
CREAK.
With each dreadful creak, the wooden pulley system began to descend faster.
❝It's gonna break--❞ Sam sounded close to hyperventilation.
Under different circumstances, Serenity would've made a jab at him but, now, the girl completely understood where he was coming from. She was terrified too. They could die from a fall this high, especially with the spikey rocks beneath them.
❝Sam--❞
Serenity snapped her eyes away from the rotten wood pulley system.
❝Oh my god--we're gonna die, we-❞
❝Sam, Sam--❞
❝I'm gonna die, Nate, oh my god Nath--❞
❝SAM!❞
Serenity grabbed the boy's face. Each of her hands were on either side of his face. The girl made him look her in the eyes; attempting to gather his undivided attention.
❝Sam, look at me--❞
His blue eyes met her green orbs. The boy practically leaned into her touch.
