The Underground Cavern

Chapter 8 Underground Cavern

Jone's POV

Everything's so quiet. I thought I was blacked out. Actually the place was too dark. I can't hear a sound but only water drops. Cold air blew past my face. Making it felt more colder, it's very uncomfortable.

Then, with a loud 'flush' , I dropped into a cold place. It felt like water, I think. I can't breath too. It's water, a lake, and I'm drowning. I used all my strength to swim upwards. Out of the lake, like being centuries in there. I breathed fresh, cool air around me.

After feeling alive again, I started to climbed out the water and wondered around. "Anyone?" I asked and hoped for responses. "George? Carles?" still silent. The light level wasn't too dim. I walked forward to find the light source. With the wind blowing my face, I saw street lamp (it's the best way calling them) but made of wooden fences and sea lanterns.

There wasn't much percentage of seeing hostile mobs walking around but sometimes can saw creepers on your way. And the explosion seemed didn't damage the entire pavement.

I walked on the pavement that let me felt more safer. The sword I always hold in my hand in case a mob jumped out from nowhere and attacked me.

This place looked okay. The trees stood right beside the pavement with some vines. Sometimes I could see lights from above the hole stood in the solid floor (actually that 'floor' is called by people living on the ground.) I dropped into a cave, I thanked. And something strange happened in this cave. I could see smoke in a distance. It's like campfire or something.

I hold my breath and walked towards to the place where the smoke came from. I hurried over and saw a river in a distance. I just ignored it but I tripped by a stone and fell into the river. "Second... time.... I fell into... the lake." I whispered to myself while getting out of the cold, freezing water.

I saw a fire near me. But there was nothing there. All I saw was the red glowing fire stood on sticks and leafs. Apparently, there's no one there. Suddenly, a hand popped up in the middle of shadows. My heart beat was faster than I had thought.

"Hey!" someone said loudly. I looked around to find out the owner of this voice. "Anyone?" I asked. "Jone?" The sound appeared again. "Where are you?" I asked. "Here!" He said.

"Where's Carles?" I asked after meeting him. "Dunno." He said. "Maybe he was off to find food."

Suddenly, a roar appeared in a distance.
