Emily and the apocalypse.

Chapter 4 | It's a cave silly!

"Nathan! Nathan!". "AHHHH!" I shouted as I sat up and gasped for air. "Hey what happened back there?" Emily asked with a slight frown, sat beside me by a fire. "Hmm... I don't know... I... I... I don't remember..." I responded as I scratched my head. I got my consciousness fully back. "What is this place?" I asked as I examined the area. "It's a cave silly." She giggled. "You lost consciousness for no reason and I had to drag you in here away from the rain and darkness for the night, what was that for huh?" Slightly threatening. "I told you, I don't remember... But thanks for taking care of me". Now I find myself In a cave. The entrance in front of me and the dark alleys behind. I looked back at Emily, she was staring at the fire with amazement, her eyes were shining like a star, glittering, loving. She made my heart beat harder and faster, I could feel it. I was really starting to have affection towards her. Until a thought ran through my mind for a while. I saw images of me being loved by people, having a life in a futuristic world. But it showed me no more.. " How did you get in this situation? " I curiously asked. " What do you mean? ". " Well, like a few days earlier you were getting attacked by brutes, so how was your life before? ". " You should ask yourself that!" She giggled. " No I'm serious! " I felt as if she wasn't happy I asked her. " Well I had a normal life, like a normal girl... I had a family, I went to a school, I had friends and stuff." I got closer to her as I listened. But she started crying, I put my arm around her
" But then. These bloody brutes, They burnt my home and... And.. My Family. " she cried into my shoulder, I saw her tears fall to the ground, splashing violently and making a dark stain to the hard rock.

I woke up with Emily 's head on my shoulder, I didn't move because I didn't want her to wake up. Her face was so peaceful. I stared at the ceiling of the cave for a while until the sun rose. I waited until Emily open hear eyes so we could head back to the camp.

I went for a small execution in the dark alley of the cave. I took a stick in the fire and went along. I walked for a while. Not finding anything special, until I came across a drawing of a stick figure on the walls, and there was another one a little farther and another one and another one, until it came to the whole wall being covered with people and animals and creatures and so many things that were not explainable. I didn't know if it was a prophecy of the island or some type of legend. But it got me pretty terrified as I saw what was drawn. But there was an arrow in the middle it was fainting a bit but I could see that it was clearly pointing down wards. It was pointing at mountains that had a strange and disturbing shape to it with the words " It's coming " carved to it, that got me pretty disturbed. I kept inspecting every detail. I saw nothing else. But then I looked back at the arrow and looked down to the ground and saw something. There was a round symbol carved to the rock. It was probably a code or something. But in the middle was a coin, a red coin. I hesitated to pick it up. But ended up taking it. I closed my eyes hoping it wasn't a trap... Nothing... Nothing happened.... I exhaled all the air I had in a celebration for not dying. Which wasn't a good idea. That's when I heard breathing behind me, heavy breathing, I felt the breathing hit my skin. Every breath it took was like a shot through my hearth. I froze. Dead, didn't move at all.

I slowly looked back to be welcomed by a huge creature. A wyvern, I swallowed my saliva and started stepping backwards. Then it took steps forwards. It was synchronized. I sped up and started to run. The wyvern followed. " its huge steps made the ground shake with a loud crashing noise to it. " Emily!!! Run!!! ".
