The Unexpected #1: The Caverns

Chapter 5: Misdirection

"Soleil... your face turned green. What are you hiding!" Cassy pointed out.

"Well I- uh." Soleil stuttered,

"Today please?" Cassy snapped,

"Dr.Javan is my boss..." Soleil said.

"You mean? You were behind this as well?" Cameron exclaimed, taking multiple steps back and away from Soleil.

"No! I'm just saying he's my boss. How was I suppose to know you were going to fall down out of no where?" Soleil responded.

"I guess that makes sense..." Cameron said, shrugging off his fears. Cassy didn't bye this for a second.

"Actually I think you would know where we would have landed!" Cassy objected,

Soleil only stood still in shock, Cassy was figuring out her secrets and she couldn't let her continue. "Puh leez. We live underground! How advanced do you think we can be!" Soleil explained.

"Clearly you are very advanced!" Cassy continued.

"Cassy, give it a rest! This is not the time for arguing and bickering! We have to find a way back to safety!" Cameron piped in, putting the girls back in their place.

"Fine. I guess we'll continue this later!" Cassy shouted, Soleil responded with a growl.

"So which way did you come from Soleil?" Cameron asked, calming the tense in the air.

"Obviously not behind us, there's a death trap there that we nearly got killed in!" Cassy pointed out. Soleil nodded.

"Well I'll lead the way, the pathway splits into three more paths while we head back, but because I come here often I know my way back," Soleil said.

Cam, Cassy, and Soleil began their walk back to where Soleil came from, and they could only hope they were being pointed in the right direction.

"So dr.Javan is your boss? How did that happen?" Cameron asked, breaking the endless silence that the three were experiencing.

"Funny story. This underground area isn't that old, and it's main purpose is to do research on ores and stones." Soleil responded. Cassy only listened in on the conversation, waiting to prove any small detail wrong.

"I see, but you didn't answer the question. I'll ask again, how did Dr.Javan become your boss?" Cameron respected, a bit ticked by Soleil's avoidance of the question.

"Well. I'm not sure if I can trust you enough to keep it a secret. It's quite big and he's told me to keep quiet," Soleil admitted, The truth finally came out. Sorta...

"Is it a bad thing?" Cameron asked, pushing for the entire truth. Soleil was losing faith from the other two, and she realized she will have to soon tell them the truth or risk losing them.

Soleil began to walk faster. She hoped that if she walked fast enough, she would reach the base before she had to answer the question. "What are you... " Cassy mumbled, "WAIT UP!" She continued, chasing Soleil down the path. Cameron shrugged and began chasing after the two.

Soleil got off easy this time. "Here's the area!" Soleil pointed out, gasping for breath after sprinting the last few minutes.

"There's two?" Cameron asked, also trying to recover his breath as well. In front of the three, was a blue base while a red base remained down a war obstructed area.

"I'm from the red base!" Soleil explained, pointing down the field with blows and craters filling any sort of pathway that ever existed.

"Uhh... no offence but I don't feel like risking the run through that war zone. I doubt if what you've said about how old this underground civilization is, that the wars far from over..." Cassy pointed out. She had a point.
