"Where did she go" Mike asked, he was tired and sweating he also sounded scared .
" How should I know she was right here and now she's gone"
" We have to find her before night"
"I know"
This was strange my sister was right here and now she's gone and now there is this strange old bronze looking bucket with weird carvings on it. It looked like a different language we couldn't understand, it didn't even look like a real language and it was here instead of our sister. As we pace around wondering what should we do and with no ideas we start call her name, but there was no answer. I wasn't really expecting an answer.
We decided to crunch down similar to what Ash did before she vanished. As we were there i asked what should we do and Mike suggested we should we should move the bucket out of our way . He then got up and pulled on the bucket handle, he pulled harder and harder with all his strength but nothing happened.
"This thing weights a ton " he said through his teeth while struggling.
" Little help would be nice Liam" he said still pulling.
"Oh right sorry about that"I said while laughing lightly.
And then I pulled on the bucket's handle and i felt it move beneath my hand, it was as if I use any real strength and it moved . Strange i thought, after moving the bucket we crunched down and ran our hands over the spot following what our sister did and then nothing happened. What should we do i said nothing was working and the sun wouldn't be up forever , out of ideas and frustration I pounded on the ground and then finally something happened it flipped.
Ahhhhh
We landed on solid ground and it was painful, "You ok Mike?"
"Yeah I'm fine nothing big, what about you ?"
"I'm fine too, no let's star looking for Ash before nightfall".
We started looking for Ash staying close to each other since there was more than one entrance and the place was unfamiliar. "Where the hell are we?", "what is this place" i questioned myself as more questions formed and danced in my head.
"Do you think we should call her name?" Mike asked.
"I think that's a bad idea, maybe if we shouted too loud rocks could fall from above so i suggest we stay quiet".
We were in this place that looked like a cave, rocky ceiling, rocks and stones that layed on the ground, it also hand a smell of dust.
We continued looking for Ash, but we only say more and more tunnels, strange writings and crawling insects.
Half an hour later we felt a change in the atmosphere, this chill breezy feeling that just past.
"Did you that Mike".
"If you're talking about the talking about the chill feeling that just passed then yes I did. I really don't like this place".
"Yeah me too , the sooner we find Ash the sooner we can leave".
We walked more until we heard a little voice, it sounded like a little girl.
"Do you hear that Liam?"
"Yeah I do"
"It sounds like Ash i think we should follow it".
"Sure we should check it out to be sure, but stay close"
"Ok"
We followed the voice until we were face to face with a wooden door and light was coming from the inside, we were close to the door and we could hear talking from the other side and it sounded exactly like Ash. As I proceed to open the door I look back at Mike who nods in agreement for me to open the door. I rest my hand on the mental handle and turned it
CLICK
I felt Mike stiffen beside me as the sound of the clicking door echoes throughout the tunnels. I gently push the forward trying to ignore the creaking and when it was half way open I poked my head in and that's when I say Ash. I held Mike's hand and ran to her , as relief washes through us we hugged her .
"Where have you been?, we were looking for you " asked Mike.
"I have been here the entire time waiting for you guys"
We have been walking for ages , but it's wonderful you're ok , you are fine right?" I asked looking down at me sister.
"Yeah I'm doing fine "
"We heard you talking is everything ok?'' Mike questioned.
"I was talking to this glowing light thing, it wasn't really talking and then it flew away when you guys came in".
While Ash and Mike talked about the light thing, I studied our surrounding. It was old looking place with dust, cob webs, small furnitures, bookshelves and papers that scattered on the floor, this place looked like a study or something. I picked up one of the books that was collecting dust and blew the dust off it , while covering my mouth and noise so i wouldn't sneeze. After the dust died down I opened the book carefully so I wouldn't cause any damage to it. I flipped through the book and while doing so I looked back at Mike and Ash and the seemed fine. I continued flipping through the book and walked over to the other books on the shelf. I looked through other books and they had the same strange writing. "What is this saying" I asked myself.
"Hey Liam look here"
I closed the book and placed it back were i found it, I walked over to them and to my surprise there was a little light floating around them. "What is this?"
"It's the light I mentioned, isn't it beautiful?" she asked.
" Yeah it's amazing"
" I agree "
"So where did it came from", I asked.
" I don't know, when I got here I was scared and it came to me it stayed a distance but it was still amazing", she said while reaching forward to touch the floating light, but it floated backwards a little.
I look at the light floating before us and it was as if it was looking back at me, out of curiosity I reach forward to the floating light, it didn't immediately came to me but after a few seconds it came to me and rest in my palms. It was magical, it felt like holding air but it was warm. Mike and Ash watched me they were clearly amazed. Minutes later the light flew from my hand and started floating away. It was as if it wanted me or us to follow it and so we did.
We walked to a nearby tunnel it was dark as I walk by torches started to lit up, I didn't put mush thought into it I just thought it was the floating light doings. There were so many entrances in this place, I seemed like a maze, but we were in an unfamiliar place so we only followed the light. We've been walking for a while and then we reached a cave like opening the light flew in and Ash and Mike immediately followed and the moment I stepped in, the inside was glowing with blue and gold lights. We were all in Awe.
I continued to walk and then I saw the light flew to a stand made of stone, Mike and Ash were busy looking at the glowing lights to notice me. I walked to the stand and that's where I saw three silver bracelets levitating above the stand, I felt drawn to them somehow, like something was pulling me to them. I was about to touch them and then I looked at the floating light in front of me and it seemed like it was encouraging me to take them and then I reached forward and toke them and I saw an writing saying "Rings of Magic", funny because these were the first english words i saw and they were about Magic .
When I placed them on my wrist I felt something cool and electric ran through me. After I felt that feeling I saw more blue and gold lights excepted this one was like water coming from above the cave and then filling in some cracks on the wall, I didn't even see them I first came in, I looked around but the floating light was now gone." Where did it go?".
Mike and Ash seemed to notice that I wasn't there because they were looking around and now running towards me. When they came up to me the first thing they seemed to realized was the glowing brackets from my wrist. I didn't even get a proper look at the water filling in the cracks, my attention was now on my brother and sister.
"Wow so pretty I want one , where did you get them from?" my sister asked.
"I got them from the stand over there" , as i point in the direction.
"What stand?".
"That stand" I said while looking around but it wasn't there." I mean I found them on the ground and i don't think there are any more", I lied. "But you can have one of mines".
As I held one of the bracelets or I should say Rings since that's what the writing said, while pulling it of my wrist it seems like the lights weren't as bright as first."Strange"
"Can I have one too", my brother asked.
" Sure here you go, now we all have one and they are yours to keep".
And with that the lights that were filling in the cracks were now flowing backwards, until they were all gone.
"Where did the light go?", asked Ash.
"I'm not sure"
"Liam what time is it?", Mike asked.
"Oh my God it's probably night already and mom must be worried sick, we have to get home".
We walked back the way we came it was easy since we didn't take an turns. We walked until we were in the study room, where we found Ash. I sat in one of the chairs and held my head in my hands and started to think of a way to get out of here and home.
"I really wish we were home" and then I felt this tingling feeling, but I ignored it I was trying to focus.
" Liam look there is our house"
What
I looked up quickly and in front of us in a distance was our house and i was sitting in grass , and if that wasn't the strangest thing the sun was still up. It was as if time stopped when we were in that cave ."How is this all possible", I asked aloud.
"It seemed like we didn't spend as much time as we thought in that cave", said Mike.
" Let's get inside I'm feeling hungry", said Ash.
"This can't be I",said inwardly.
