The King of the Monkeys

Chapter 6: Trap

I'm like a cliffhanger, hanging on for my possible death. The rock's cracking. Steve's on the other side. I'm on the side of the controls. If only I could get up and grab a hold. The magma's rising an inch a second, slowly coming to our death. A strong wind comes from it. It's very warm, and it's boosting me up! Steve and I are being lifted up!

"Ahh!" we both yell. We are rising as fast as the magma.

My hands were waving all around. I was freaking out. My hand hit a button accidentally, and the lava was draining down. The wind stopped. We fell and grabbed onto the muscovite. It had now finally broke all the way, and we were falling down and down and down and landed into water. It wasn't hot but cold. Why? I don't know. I try swimming up. I can't. Steve can't either. We start to be sucked down deeper in. The bottom is near. There is a hole that is only sucking in things that are not water. I see another one near it. I don't know if we will go into the same one. I fall through. It is dark. I have no idea where Steve is.

"Help!" I call.

There is no answer.

"Help!" I call again.

There is still no answer.

"Help me, please!" I again call. I keep calling and calling and calling, but there is still no answer. Not even a peep. "Help! Help! Help, help." I can't call any more I'm out of breath. I feel sweat all over me.The walls and floor around me are getting hotter every minute. I'm burning at every spot of my bare body that touches the wall. I hope my cold and wet body will somehow protect me. I start to feel like I'm on fire.

BANG!

Water started rushing in through a hole about the size of an orange.

BANG!

Another hole is created instantly.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!!!!!

The whole ceiling caves in. The cold water comes in. It feels very good on my steaming body. I see Steve near by with a big spike-shaped rock. Steve drops the rock, and we head for the surface.

"That what you used to get me out?" I asked.

"Yeah," he said, "Don't know how it got in here, though."

"Huh," I said, "That's strange."

"Yeah, It just somehow came through the wall of the dark place I was in. It wasn't too heavy either."

The water around us start to gain ripples coming off of the wall. I start to feel the water around us shaking. Small 3-inch waves are smashing against us and the wall. A round door starts to open draining out tons of water. Soon, all that is left is us. We get up and see them, the figures.
