Against the Unknown

Chapter 7

~Elle's POV~

I moan as I slowly open my eyes. I hit my head while I was being dragged by the lizards and must have been knocked unconscious. Looking around, I see my friends, all still unconscious. We're in the same room as the one where Cadi, Alesha and Ellie were held captive. Only, this time, we're not tied up. We're surrounded by hundreds- maybe thousands- of lizards. "Shit" I think to myself. I nudge my newly-found girlfriend, who is lying next to me. She slowly gains consciousness. "Where are we?" she asks me.
"We're in the cave! Where Cadi, Alesha and Ellie were tied up!"
"I'm not staying here!" she says as she gets up.
"Cerys don't!" I shout. Several lizards hiss as Cerys looks down and finally notices them. She backs away slowly and sits back down.
"Shit," she says.
"Yeah, I know," I hear everyone else emerging from their 'sleep'. Once they're all awake and aware of their surroundings, we begin to make a plan. Kate is the one making the most suggestions. As always, she's the one with the plans!
"Okay so I count down from 3 and when I say 'go', we all run!"
"Run? Run where!?" I ask.
"Down there!" she replies, pointing towards a tunnel leading further into the cave.
"Hate to burst your bubble but we're supposed to be running away from the reptilian freaks, not making it easier for them to kill us!" Evan exclaims, clearly not impressed.
"Just before Anna and I killed Georgia, she told us about the mother of the lizards. She lives in the deepest part of the cave, with all of the eggs. We destroy her- the lizards lose their mother and no more eggs will be layed. Therefore, no. More. Lizards!" Kate explains. Evan takes a while to comprehend this befor saying "Lets do this," and we all sit back, waiting for the signal.

~Lauren's POV~

"She's amazing, isn't she Lauren?" asks Georgia, looking down at the huge lizard. It's just sitting there, caring for its eggs, but somehow it's amazing? Georgia is weird. If I had the choice between staying here as a spirit with her and enjoying myself in heav- hell, I would've gladly made an escape. But unfortunately, I wasn't given the satisfaction if choosing. So I'm stuck here.
"So what's the plan?" I ask.
"We unleash the beast on them!"
"How do we do that?" she looks at me, worried.
"I um... I still haven't thought that far ahead..." she admits. I sigh and make my way up to the surface. As I emerge into the other room, I notice the group of friends cowering in a corner, surrounded by lizards and laugh to myself.
"Hey Georgia!" I shout down to her, "I think it may be a bit easier than we initially thought!" I smile. Suddenly, they all lurch forward, weapons in hand, swinging them wildly and knocking lizards in every direction. This isn't good. I swiftly go back down to Georgia and explain the situation. Her eyes widen as a lizard gets hit down the tunnel and lands at the feet of the beast. It bares its huge teeth and pounces up, then scampers up into the room above us. Georgia smiles wickedly and I realise that our enemies don't have long left.
