"Brian? Come on, stop kidding around." Following the source of light that shimmered before completely dissapearing down the hall, Bonnibel stopped in her tracks. Too exhausted to continue her chase after the overly energized Brian, she resorted to leaning back against the wall, catching her breath.

Doe Bay, Washington. This was supposed to be a relaxing vacation that was looked forward to throughout the entire year. If faced with the decision of choosing to remain at their cabins or head for a hike, Bonnible wouldn't hesitate to choose on the former. Unfortunately enough however, she thought that a little walk outside wouldn't hurt. Don't get her wrong, the hike and all was mostly fun, but what wasn't okay was her fiends dragging her along into a very dreary looking cave. And the strangeness didn't stop there, if the hidden cave wasn't enough for you, then the strange carvings into the walls would certainly do the trick.

"Brian-" Whispering under her breath, she closed her eyes for a small moment and leaned her head back so that it would be pressed against the cold surface of the wall behind her. "What a butt..." Bonnibel puffed her cheeks playfully, displeased with the fact that he very friend who dragged her in here decided to venture forward and lose her behind. Brian and herself were the only ones who went this far into the cave, everyone else decided to set back and waitt outside since they were too enticed with the petit river near the entrance.

She was about to push herself off of the wall so that she could continue her search for Brian. Suddenly, her support gave away, causing her to fall backwards and onto the ground as the wall ended up being a door that seemed almost unnoticable.

With a wince and a groan, she turned over onto her stomach, pushing off of the ground into a seated position. The room, if it could even be called a room, was very dark and chilly. Shivering lightly from the unneasy atmosphere that loomed over her, Bonnibel rubbed her arms in an attempt to warm up. "Good job, Bonnie.." Murmuring to herself silently, the female got up to her feet and looked around cautiously. The place was surprising clean, but empty. Thankfully, she simply fell through the now hole in the wall. It was a miracle that the whole thing didn't collapse. The thought of someone living here was unsettling, it only urged her to get out of the room as fast as possible, wishing to find Brian and leave already.

Just as she was about to turn around and head out through the way she got in, her eyes landed on what seemed to be the only piece of furniture in the entire room. It was located at the very back, pushed up against the wall. A capsule of some sort perhaps? What was odd about it was that it was made out of white and black marble. It really did stand out in this setting, even despite of the darkness in the very corner it was positioned in.

Biting her lip, Bonnibel was contemplating wether or not she should even approach and investigate the strange contraption. Of course, her gut feeling was shouting for her to turn around that very instant and leave, but her brain spoke otherwise. From her very childhood, Bonnibel was a very curious and adventurous kid. She wanted- no, she needed answers. "I'll regreat this later on won't I?" With the soft whisper under her breath, she put one foot in front of the other, taking the slow steps towards the marble capsule.

After finally reachig her destination, the strawberry blonde female stopped at the foot of the capsule. Her eyes scanned the piece of art in front of her, intrigued about every small detail that she could muster and analyze in the dim lighting. A certain part of the structure was stickinf out, proving to draw Bonnibel's attention. Bringing her hand forth, she ran her fingertips over the surface. At the simple contact, she felt a small sting to her finger. Wincing, she drew her hand back, a blood bead begun appearing from the hole in the tip of her finger.

There was little to no time for Bonnibel to process what had happened, as her worries shifted towards the dark blue glow that softly emitted from within the capsule. She took a step back as the capsule's doors begun to slide open.

Bonnibel thought that her eyes were definitely playing tricks on her as she noticed another female within the capsule. The other girl had beautifuly pale skin that contrasted to the raven locks. The strange female was wearing strange clothing, definitely something not from this period of time. To make matters even worse, her eyes slowly lifted open as she looked around analytically. Her eyes landed on the startled strawberry blonde girl in front of her. Stepping out of the capsule, the raven headed female almost stumbled from the loss of strength.

Terrible ache and confusion engulfed her. "..you are.?" Holding her head in the palm of her hand due to the headache, she expectantly waited for an answer.

Bonnibel parted her lips as her eyes grew a little. Was this just a ridiculous joke that her friends planned? For all she knew, they could have brought this girl along for the prank. Perhaps a new friend of theirs? "Uhm...good question. I was about to ask you the same-" Before she could even finish the sentence, she felt something knock her unconscious from behind.

The next moment, she was falling forward slowly, only to fall into the arms of the strange female that just stepped out of the capsule. The lower half of her face was burried into the girl's shoulder, looking up weakly to meet the other's gaze. After that very moment, her eyes had fallen closed as the grip on her consciousness had at last diminished.
