The Mystery

Robert and John

Hi it's JakeRN and when you read this story please don't criticize me, it's my first time writing a story and I just thought this story up and wrote it down right here in Wattpad so, ENJOY!!!

-----------------------------------------

It was a beautiful windy day in Silverlake, a small town just outside of Athens and I am honored and proud to say that this town is my home.

I was sitting on my porch sipping nice hot chocolate while enjoying the cool summer breeze.

I thought then and there that life couldn't get any better, I had a great house and a good paying job.

I quickly realized life could get better when I got a phone call, I reluctantly picked it up and it was my best friend John Stewartson.

I had known John since I was 7 years old, I knew everything about him then he said in the phone

"Hi Robert, it's John, you should go outside and I'll pick you up"

I got curious and answered "why, what happened?".

He replied in an excited voice "You should come over here yourself."

That caught my attention, John was never excited about anything unless it was special.

I grabbed my coat and headed outside while thinking we are only amateur paleontologists and we never find anything good, on good days we find small footprints or the markings of bones which pay a lot but we never find anything really good so I was hoping that John has found something that can make us rich.

While mid-thought I was almost hit by a car due to my absent-mindedness and I looked inside there I saw John in the driver's seat shouting "Get in we need to get there before anyone else does." so I quickly got in and a strong scent of mud came upon me.

I asked in a disgusted voice "What is that smell?"

John replyed while driving "No time to explain, we need to get to terace hill".

I said "Why there, I haven't been there since college, what did you find?".

He replyed saying "This morning I was taking a walk in that area and I stumbled upon a small hole in the side of the hill so due to my curiosity, I went to check it out then when I went nearer to the hole the next thing I knew was I was a few feet below where I was standing earlier, my weight made the floor I was standing on break.".

"That explains the smell.".

"No! It doesn't matter, so I looked around and there was a cave around me and I saw something amazing.".

"What was it?"

"You will see for yourself, so anyway I went back up from the whole and I went to my car and went straight for you, and I called you on the way.
