the floor collapsed beneath them, causing them to roll through a tunnel and into a pitch black cave. The breath was knocked out of them, and neither were sure whether their eyes were open or closed.
“Dawn? Dawn are you okay?” Peter yelled, worried he’d already killed his new companion.
“Yeah, I’m alright,” she said, her voice echoing off the walls. “Just a little scratched up.”
Peter stood up and looked around, trying to follow her voice, but with the sounds bouncing off the walls it was nearly impossible. It was then when he saw a faint glow right ahead of him.
“Dawn, I think I’ve found something. It appears to be… glowing…”
“Don’t… don’t go near it,” she said, her voice coming from the exact direction. “It… it might be dangerous…”
“Dawn?… Why are you…”
“Just don’t, okay!”
“Fine then. What do you want me to do?”
“Just wait for me to find you… Please…”
So he waited. The glow slowly began to die down, and shortly thereafter, Dawn stumbled into Peter, straight from that direction.
“There’s something going on with her,” he thought.
But he pushed the thought out of his mind. Right now, he needed to focus on getting himself and Dawn out of this cave. In one piece.
