Chapter 31

(EDITED ON 4 APRIL 2020)

Y/N and Jack both looked at each other in the darkness. It was very dark and if it was not for the glow from Y/N's hands, they couldn't see anything.

Jack went to the earth above that had suddenly closed by itself.

" Did we fell in a trap?" Y/N asked in a whisper.

" It looks like it," Jack replied while using his staff and struggled to push the heavy earth above them. He grunted when the earth won't budge even a bit. He turned to Y/N, shaking his head. " It's not gonna work," he said softly, giving up.

" Let me help. We'll do it together this time." Y/N offered as she reached her hands to the earth and Jack did the same.

Y/N's hands glowed and she turned to Jack.

" On three," she said.

" One..."

"Two..."

" Three!"

They both pushed the earth as hard as they could but still, it won't budge. Y/N scowled and punched it in frustration before pulling her hand away as pain shot through her knuckles. She shook her hand and glared at the heavy earth.

" Careful, you don't want a broken knuckle or finger, do you?" Jack asked, chuckling and took her hand to look for any injuries.

Y/N didn't move her glare away from the earth even though her heart was beating wildly at Jack's action that she quickly pulled her hand and crossed her arms across her chest.

" I swear, if I suffocate and die under this ground. I will haunt whoever set this trap up," she said.

Jack smiled when she finally turned to him.

" How can you be so calm? I'm dying right here!" she exclaimed. " Hello? Anybody up there? Help me get out of this unwanted grave right now!" she shouted.

Jack laughed.

" Stop it! It's okay for you... I don't think you really need a lot of oxygen. But I do." she glared at him then.

Jack stopped laughing but grin.

" Oh, come on, Y/N. I'm sure somebody will come and get us... sit and relax, you don't want to waste the limited oxygen. Right?" he asked playfully.

Y/N was about to argue, but she thought better of it and sat down beside Jack with a huff.

He did have a point though.

Five minutes later...

" It's been five freaking minutes!" Y/N exclaimed, as she stood up, all the calmness gone... again.

" How can you even count? You don't even have a watch with you!" Jack said.

" It's because I'm counting the time," she replied, emphasizing the word "counting". " You don't un—"

Jack shushed her as he raised a finger to his lips and signaled for her to quiet down.

She stopped talking abruptly.

" I heard something. Listen," he whispered.

She strained her ears and listened, he was right. There was a thudding sound... the sound of light footsteps, but still could be heard. It approached their trapped place and stopped so suddenly.

" Should I call out for help?" Y/N asked, as she came to sit back down and hugged her knees.

" You don't want to do that... what if it's some kind of a monster?" Jack teased in a serious tone.
