"You've got to be kidding me?" I say when she finishes her horrifying sentence. Some how I knew she was going to say something weird and crazy.
"You got any better idea's? " she says in a know-it-all tone.
"What do you expect us to do with it? Pick it up with our bare hands? And what's the chance it will work anyway. Who's hand do you think it belongs to? The captain's?" I let out a sarcastic laugh .
"We could use your socks as gloves." She glares at me.
"Have you thought about this before or something because you sound like you know what your doing.""Do you want to do it or not." She lifts an eyebrow.
"Fine. " I say in defeat.
I take off my bloody sneakers and hand her my socks.
"So who is going to do it. I think you should it was your idea and you seem to be afraid of nothing right now and I'm really-"
"I'll do it you baby. " She puts the socks on her hands but then takes off her own socks and adds them.
"Are you sure we have to do this." I whisper.
"Yes." She replys. "It may be our only way out. "
Andrea walks over to where the hand and all the other limbs are and takes a deep breath. Right when she's reaching for the hand a creak echos in the room. I turn backwards to where I think I hear the sound and I hear it again.
Creeeeak, Creeeeak, Creeeeak, Creeeeak.
Then it stops. We wait in an eery silence, not sure what we are waiting for but we wait. We wait forever until I'm sure it was just me imagining things the noises. I turn back to Andrea and right as I was about to tell her to pick it up, I hear the distinctive sound of two feet hitting the ground. Out of the corner of my eye I see something. Not sure what it is I turn all the way around. It's a person defiantly, but who? And it was locked so how did the person get in.
I take a chance,
"Hello? " I say. Hopefully I don't sound too scared.
It didn't answer. I say again, stronger this time,
"Hello. Who is there?"
I am immediately blinded with a bright light. I quickly sheild my eyes but right as it was there, it was gone. I hear a mumble coming from the person. It scares me so jump backwards. My feet land in something incredibly cold and wet. I feel something on my toe. It's hard and slimy. I look down and regret everything. I'm standing in the blood and limbs. I try to run out but instead fall on my face. I yelp in pain as I hit the cold, hard ground. I hear a voice yell
"Kass!?"
Definitely not Andrea's, but is a girl's voice no doubt. I hear a different voice yell my name but it's so faint that I don't worry about it. I realize I'm still laying on the ground and try to get up. But I'm so tired, and the ground is really comfy. It feels like I'm laying on a giant, brown pillow.
I hear more mumbles but they sound more panicked this time. I should probably get off my face now. I try to turn over but it hurts so bad. I need to get up and go to the ceremony. Wait did I already go? Did I miss it? Who cares anyways. I should go get some breakfast. Or dinner. Or lunch. I don't know any more, but I do know I'm hungry. I should go get myself some food that's really the only thing I care about right now. I slowly open my eyes, I look straight ahead, but I don't see anything, I focus hard and realize I'm on the floor, I laugh, I shouldn't be on the floor I should be on my brand new bed. I try to pick up my arms but they are limp. I start shaking them to wake them up. I hear that faint mumble again.
What is it saying? I focus on it now. I shake my arms to get its attention and I hear it.
It's saying "kcasaruooky." I giggle that's not it. I shake my arms again, it talks,
"Bass aren't you o may! " not it. I focus even harder and I shake my whole body this time.
"KASS ARE YOU OKAY!"
That's it. The voice says it with a lot of worry. I try to say I'm alright but it comes out as
"knabszbhshfdzzsplkhs!"
I'm getting annoyed with myself and I'm not tired any more so I try to flip over. The pain is unbelievable I bite my lip to get my mind off of it. I try to flip over again, and again, and again, and again. I'm biting my lip so hard that I start to taste blood. But I need to get up. I push with all my might and I finally get off my face. I'm laying on my back with my eyes closed catching my breath when I remember I'm not in my room I'm I'm underground in this weird hole thing.
Hmmmm. What should I name it. It shall be called... The Mighty Hole, The Hole for short. Yes very amazing name. I realize my eyes are still closed but when I try to open them it's so hard. My eyelids are really heavy and my head is throbbing. I very slowly lift my eyelids and the first thing I see is a very bright light I am about to close my eyes but I know it will be very hard to open them back up. I keep them open and feel like I'm staring into te sun. I yell for it to turn off and it does. My eyes relax but I am seeing dancing colors. Blue and purple and neon yellow figures dance across my eyes. They are dancing so beautifully that a don't want them to stop, but they eventually do and I'm left with darkness. But not fully darkness. There is two figures leaning over me saying something.
I look to the figure on my left and it's Andrea and she looks very concerned. I smile at her and she smiles a very relived smile back at me. I turn to my right and it's another person. I focus on it and immediately know who it is. The person has curly brown hair and bright green eyes she smiles through big lips and crooked teeth.
