Chapter Text
It all happened so fast.
“Shaye! Shaye! Look at me!”
She was so excited to go with me on a hiking trip. Just the two of us, away from everything.
“Hey Spudsy! Don’t go too far from me, okay?”
I was so stupid, I shouldn’t have let her out of my sight. Mt. Ebott is known for accidents.
“Shaye!”
“Anna!”
I wasn’t fast enough. I saw her hands disappear over the edge. I could still hear her scream. I didn’t think, all I knew at the moment, was that she needed me… I needed her. Who cares if I die? Anything to keep her safe. I kept that in mind as I sunk farther into the darkness that had swallowed my sister. Funny, I don’t remember hitting the ground…

When she woke, it was dark and everything hurt to move. Nothing broken from what she could feel, just overly sore. She blearily opened her eyes and took in the blurry scene before her; dark cavern like walls surrounded her being, whilst her body was cushioned by a bed of golden-yellow flowers… Wait. Flowers? Slightly impressed that the flowers weren’t crushed and the fact that they were practically holding up her body weight. Well, it wasn’t the weirdest place she’s fallen, Anna would know, she’s seen her fall more than-Wait! Where’s Anna? She distinctly remembered following her little sister down this exact hole as soon as she fell. No way in hell was she just gonna stand there stupid. But now where was her sister? If she was fine, then her sister might be too? What if she was hurt? What if she was dragged off by some mountain beast?
With a start, she got up and searched around the cavern wildly.
“Anna?” Her voice slightly echoed and carried along another path. Maybe she got up and walked through there? Her sister didn’t have much common sense, even when it came to danger. “Ah shit…” She looked around the cavern once more before she set her sights on the tunnel leading to who-knows-where. Time to find the little spud and get them both out of here.
The girl shakily got to her feet and briefly checked her person. Her glasses were fine, short, dark hair was messy but not a problem at the moment, her hoodie and jeans were slightly disheveled, but again, not an issue. She checked her pockets, only to find out that her phone was miraculously dead, she had a few coins in change, and her earphones were still here. Great. Nothing useful. Everything needed for emergencies was by the little rest spot above ground she had chosen for herself and her sister. Oh well. She stepped away from the flower bed, towards the ominous tunnel before.
Looking down the dark, unknown tunnel… fills you with motivation.
