Olivia's POV

I opened my eyes, seeing Axel slumped on the floor.
I smelled burning smoke, the fire barely smoldering.
The wind continued howling, sending echoes through the cave.
W-why does something seem...... wrong?
Sitting up, I tried not to bump my head on the rocks above.
"Wha--"
I stopped my sentence, seeing a dark green jacket wrapped around me.
I-it was Axel's.
Opening it up, I saw that it had fur on the inside.
It... smells nice.
I brought the jacket away from my face, staring at Axel's snoring figure.
No. don't get too attached to him..... he's just on this quest with you because we're the only ones left.
He only gave me cake because he was hungry.
And he only gave me his jacket because I probably looked cold. Nothing special.
Sighing, I started picking up the remnants of trash on the floor.
I picked up plates, forks, cake bits... tossing them all in the bag. Well... maybe I ate more cake.. just maybe.
I was almost done, when I broke a plate.
On accident, of course.... but it shattered and woke Axel up.
"WHA-- " he faced me, his eyes wide.
He groaned, burying his head in his arms.
"I told myself that I would stay up and watch you!" He muttered, stamping out the fire.
I giggled, looking at him.
"Guess someone got sleepy." I teased, smirking.
"Cut it out, Olivia..." he said, blushing.
"Why would you want me to cut it out when I could be-" I stopped mid-sentence,staring at the wall behind Axel.
Axel's POV
She stopped talking, her eyes growing wide.
I whipped my head around, seeing something terrifying.
It.... was a message.
A... a message written... in what looked like blood.
I stood up, freaking out on the inside.
Okay.... stay calm. Observe your surroundings, don't let Olivia see that this bothers you.
I walked to the wall, reading the smeared letters.
Your friends are dying. If you ever want to see them again- you will do as we ask.
I stood in front of the wall, my mouth hanging open.
I turned back to Olivia, her eyes cold.
"I. TOLD. You. That. our. friends. were. in. trouble." She growled.
J-Jess... Petra... Ivor.. Lukas... they... they could be... dead.
I was about to say something-
When I saw a dark shadowy figure at the mouth of the cave.

Sorry it's short! I'm currently working on other things. Love you guys!   \(^v^)/
