Her boots slapped against the ground, the hardened stone echoing throughout the caves. The rest of her team followed close, one scribbling pictures into their journal.

"Hey, Y/N? Don't you think it's better if you move towards the back? Your flashlight is low on battery!" Uraraka said, shaking her own light to ensure it still worked.

Y/N realized she was right, humming as she let the others pass her. Now, their formation appeared differently. They branched out like a  star. Uraraka was in the front, Y/N in the back, with Kaminari, Mineta, and Midoriya taking place in the middle.

"Wow...look at all these bones!" the brunette exclaimed, furiously scribbling the images. In the center, Midoriya nervously picked at his fingernails. He didn't feel safe in this cave, nor did the other boys.

Further and further they advanced, their path sloping downwards like a hill. Y/N too started to become nervous. The farther down they walked, the scent of rot and decay became stronger. All parties momentarily gagged, hiding their noses in the collar of their shirts.

"Do we have to keep going?!" Mineta asked rather annoyingly. "Kaminari, you agree with me, right?" the smaller boy shoved his friend, wanting some confirmation. Kaminari prepared to answer, but the stench of rotting meat made his stomach flutter.

Midoriya directed his flashlight down the path, his eyes widening like saucers. Even more bones littered the ground, some comparable to large beasts. They were stacked in multiple piles, like trophies. The freckled boy gasped when his flashlight flickered, the light becoming dimmer with each passing second.

"Guys...we need to turn back. I'm serious!" his voice echoed through the cave, just like his steps. Uraraka turned around, her flashlight illuminating Midoriya's features. Y/N felt herself subconsciously stepping backwards, her chest heaving with fear.

"Izuku, stop being a baby! There's nothing down here! Well, not living, at least." Uraraka bent down, handling a bone as if it was a hammer. She swung it back and forth, hitting the side wall of the cave. With all of her strength, she couldn't so much as crack it. "Oh! I wonder what animal these must have belonged to—?"

Several sounds resonated deep from within the cave. They didn't come from the team of explorers, nor something they expected to find. It sounded like bones were being snapped, their fragments scattered across the ground. Uraraka quickly swiveled her flashlight, illuminating the darker depths in front of them. None of the five explorers saw anything, but the sounds were getting louder. They bounced off the walls less frequently, a sign something was approaching them.

Y/N felt her face drain itself of blood. Her feet felt like paper, bound to crumple up at any moment. Like her feet, her knees felt like air. She couldn't take another step, too fixated on what was happening. That's when they all heard it.

Hissing.

Uraraka trembled, stumbling backwards into Kaminari. He helped to support her, but he too was shaking. Midoriya cried out as his flashlight finally took its last breath, suddenly becoming useless. Kaminari and Mineta didn't have flashlights, but Y/N's was almost dead. Only Uraraka had a working one. She kept it pointed towards the depths, praying something didn't snatch away their only source of light.
