The Tin Man [ON HOLD]

Chapter 5

I had let David stay over for the night since it was late and we planned to leave tommorow morning. Yes it was a bit early for something we only planned for a day or so but it was the only time we could actually go.

I woke up to David shaky me awake and I rubbed his eyes to see him already dressed and ready to go. Ugh... I never even hear me alarm go off. It wss usually still dark when I wake up but the sun was shinning through my curtainless window. "What time it is." I asked and David helped me sit up in the bed.

"Its 12 am. I thought you need alitte bit of extra sleep. Since you slept in im sure you really did need it. Anyways get ready. Its a day long travel and we're already late into the day." And with that he walked out before I could say something back to him.

I let out a sigh and rolled my eyes as I got up. I guess I was pretty tried because I was still wearing yesterdays clothin. I walked over to my dresser and grab out some random combination and ended up liking what I pick so I went ahead and got my shoes on.

After five more minute of me getting ready I finally walked out to see David sitting down readying one of my books. "So this is like the inventor's journal." "Yeah. His husband suggested for him to right on and the later on published it. It ended up being a bigger success then what they had expected."

I walked overto him and yanked the book out if his hands and returned it back too he coffee table. "Hey!" I chuckled at his angry expression and he finally gave in and huffee out a laugh. "Alright. What are we waiting for!" I excitedly cheered and he got up to cheer with me. Even if I really didn't want to atless it will keep David at bay.

....

I yawned as we we're still traveling the path we were following on the map. "Oh come on Brock. Don't fall asleep yet. Were almost there!" he said still keeping his attention on the map. "Woo. Great." I said sarcastically and he nudded my elbow.

We kept on the trail even having to go off of it a couple of times untill David hear extend out his hand making me stoop. "What?" "Here." "What?" "It should be here. Look." He said showing the map and he was right. We should see it. "Here help me look for it." then we started looking for the cave.

We started to look around and I ended up looking uo and down a very big hedged littered with vines and poison ivy. I some what regretted my decision of sticking my head in it but it ended up working in the long run. I ended uo seeing the entry way of the cave and I yelled at David for him to check it out.

He cringed at the sight of the poison ivy but his facial expression soon changed when he saw the cave. "Good job Brock." he said walking forward intobthe cave. I groaned when a torn of some sorts got caught in my hair and pulled on it. When I walked in myself and looked at David I couldn't. It was to dark.

David pulled out something I didn't really know what it was but he switched it on and lit the way. "What is that?" I questioned and he shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know but its usefull. Some guys wereing fancy clothes dropped it so I picked it up and pocked it.

"Hm. Neat." I replyed and David shoned the light around looking at the walls covered it some "art" the looked straight ahead of the cave. We looked at each other the walked further into the cave.

We kept walking further and further into the cave into we reached a very wet part of the cave. I let out a not so mainly yelp when I slipped on something and fell on something hard. I groaned and wrapped and arm around my stomach since it hit it really hard. "Brick." he said bringing the light over to me and helping me get up. "You alright?" He asked patting me off abit because my jacket got dirty. "Yeah.

I looked over to where I had fallen and saw only a part of what seemed to me rusted. "Hey hand me that." I said pointing to the light. He gave it to me and I brought it to where a man looking matchine laid. I gasped and almost dropped the light to cover my mouth.

David looked confused when he saw my reaction at the mysterious rusted tin. "Brock?" "David do you have any idea what this is? Its the-"
