Relics -WildLadd or MiniCat

~ Chapter 2 ~

Delirious' PoV

       I run through the hallway with a goofy grin on my face. Craig is going to kill me for this, but it'll be all worth it if I run into something valuable down here. Without thinking, I run into a dimly lit room.
I look around and see a golden statue of an owl resting on a pedestal. Is that real gold?! I bet Craig and I could earn a fortune off of this! I happily run towards the artifact before being pushed back by a gust of wind. Wind? Where is it coming from? There shouldn't be anything blowing through here...
Slightly confused, I continue to make my way towards the owl. As I get closer, the wind grows stronger, trying to push me away from the gold. I struggle to fight the winds but eventually I reach the pedestal. I reach down for the statue and just as I touch it an earth-shattering wind shoves me back into the wall, the muffled sound of rocks and rubble falling from the ceiling startling me.
The wind settles to a stop as a pair of footsteps inch closer to me. "Craig? I-Is that you?" My voice cracks as I try to look at the blurry figure that's now standing over me. This person can't be Craig. Craig has a much smaller body figure.
"Are you okay? I didn't mean to hurt you." An unfamiliar voice asks worriedly. I try to focus on the man's face, but my vision is still a little blurry. "I-I'm fine... Who-Who are you?" I ask. "My name is Evan, but my people call me Vanoss. Who might you be, my tiny rescuer?" The man states, his words rolling off of his tongue like fresh honey. "My name is J-Jonathan..." I stutter.
I freeze when my vision finally starts to clear up. I stare at the man in shock as I look him up and down, blinking multiple times in case I'm seeing things. The man before me has jet black hair, piercing golden eyes, and an elegant pair of owl wings on his back.
"Well Jonathan, since you've saved me from captivity I am sworn to protect you." Evan says with a warm and grateful smile. "What?!" I exclaim in surprise. He simple giggles and picks me up from the ground, startling me. I quickly latch onto his neck in fear that he'll drop me. "If you don't mind, before we leave this wretched place I'd like to free a friend of mine." Evan says as he carries me bridal style out of the room and through the hallways. "What are you doing? Why are you carrying me?" I ask with an eyebrow raised. "I thought you'd be tired from your long journey, so I decided to carry you." He explains as he turns into the hallway Craig went in. "O-Okay then..." I say as I simply give in to his act of kindness.
We reach a caved in door, making me begin to worry for Craig. Is Craig trapped in there? Did he find a relic too? Did he run into someone too? Is he okay? Several questions ran through me head as I tried to think of all the things that could have happened to him.
"Tyler! Shake the ground if you hear me!" Evan calls into the room. "Evan?! Is that you?! How did you escape?!" A voice calls back from behind the rubble. "Me?! How did you escape?!" He asks the voice behind the wall. "Don't worry about it! Can you help me move all of these damn rocks?!" "Yeah! Hold on!"

(Hi guys, sorry it's been awhile since I've last updated. My boyfriend got in a really bad bike wreck and on top of that he is really sick, so I've been trying to keep him company and help him feel better. I'm actually in a Skype call with him right now lol He's asleep so I'm just waiting for him to wake up 😋 Anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter even though it's short. Hopefully he'll start feeling better so I can write again. Thanks for reading my shit 😝😍❤️)
