Entering the cave

The excavation team were ready, 10 students of the university and about 40 from other universities, 20 Seasoned excavators, 5 visitors whose life did not matter and Seven researchers.

Those who visited would sign that their death had nothing to do with the school.

They all walked into the plane walking towards a trip to change their life.

In the darkness Vaddmiar closed his eyes , he was not sure what time it was and he preferably did not want to know.

Everything seemed blurry as he lurked in the shadow. People walked by him not noticing.

Vaddmiar could hear their blood pulsing through their veins.

' psshh phsshh ' The blood sounded like a gushing river then was slow at some point.

It took everything in him to stop himself from going forward to disturb the flow.

He ran away from the city and moved towards the forest. It was better to be away from humans when things like these happen.

The cold kept him awake though his eyes began to grow heavy. As a Vampire Vaddmiar wondered why he felt killing creatures was terrible. His eyes turned red and all he wanted was blood.

A delicate feature came in front of him , human or not he wanted a taste.

The darkness came from his heart , he put is long outstretched claw towards his heart and began to claw his chest open.

Blood spilled out and the figure seemed to smile.

A delicate pale hand reached out to his face and held it. The bloodlust in his eyes had faded and he saw it.

The person who held his face was definitely delicate but not beautiful. The weird looking creature had claw like hands that reminded him of a bird.

Its face was scrunched up making one wondered if it was carrying a cloth on its face. The scanty hair were scared by it's side.

It eyes bulged out of its skull and the pupil was completely black. The nose was partially present it seemed to have been bitten of. It's mouth was nothing more than a thin straight line.

It reminded Vaddmiar of the demon in the skies story he was told has a child.

His eyes began to grow weaker but he hurriedly bit his tongue to keep himself awake.

The creature begun to mummur incoherent words "Samcha myahn tossueb tees.... k jjkj.."

It's eyes began to glow and Vaddmiar felt even weaker. Feeling his life slip out of his hands he stretched his hands fort into the chest of the creature.

Air that was what he felt, it seems their was nothing to grab. He noticed a glowing stone had the creature moved to avoid his hands. Not thinking twice he grabbed the stone.

The creature writhed in pain and Vaddmiar used the distraction you run for his life.

He was not sure where he was out where he was going but soon the fatigue and whatever the creature did to him was finally showing signs.

He laid his head and rested not forgetting to stuff the stone in his pocket.

The plane ride was super boring for Erina. Some people tried to talk to her but she was not interested. They could die in the tomb why make friendship when you might lose them.

Erina was so adamant on being alone that others saw her as a creep. Seasoned Excavators on the other hand understood her dilemma.

" Landing in ten , nine , eight , seven , sixth , fifth , fourth , third , second and one "

.

The beauty of the sight was marvelous she thought that it would be in a mess it seemed it was all taken care off.

" Welcome" A nice joyful voice sounded it was sweet.

" please will you go and pick a card. that will be your room sight.

Erina walked towards the table and picked a random card.

The use of this method was not needed but it showed enough transparency so no one got special treatment.

Tent 4 , that was an okay number for Erina as long as it was not a nine she could manage the rest.

She walked into the medium sized tent. Erina guessed only three people would be present in these tent but to her it was absolutely no big deal.

She could not care less if it where a hundred people in a tent.

Before the arrival of her roomies , Erina put on a full face mask and bald cap.

She pulled of the Face mask and wore a cap to cover her fake baldness.

While she was going over the map and carefully analysing the escape route a short ponytail haired girl bounced in.

She was so jovial before Erina could put up a cold face the girl extended a palm and introduced herself.

" Hii...Am Happy Stone "

Erina observed the girl, she was wearing a blue and grey jumpsuit with a Black vest and backpack. Her stature was small and petite. She had a small oval shaped with a pouty lip and round nose. Her eyes were big that Erina felt a little jealous.

Not to be mean but Erina could have one guess her why her parents named her happy she seemed so sweet like sugar.

" Hi am Erina Dine " Erina could not bare to ignore her.

" Nice to meet you is this your first time on an excavation. It is my first time" Happy brimmed.

Happy was pleased that she met someone who did not snub her or act like she was needy.

Though she had just met Erina she hoped for good things to happen.

" No it is my third , so how did you get assigned to this site " Erina asked.

" Oh well I attended Daville I was one of their subs so I begged for a spot. "

Most people who heard about subs looked down on them or pitied them.

Subs had no insurance , if they found a treasure then good for them but they could die as well.

Erina knew that ninety percent of Subs died inside the sites and only one percent of them get a treasure.

" Subs do you no feel that is to dangerous"

" Yeah I know but I am unable to get into a normal site. They made an exception for these sites and subs are allowed to enter with the students. On the bright side I get to see a tomb. " Happy pouted.

" Of course but not only could you be sacrificed as lambs or used as test subject but you will earn absolutely nothing and chances of losing your life is high. " Erina felt a need to warn.

" If I don't go , then I have no way to enter a proper site. If I do come out alive at least I have experience. "

Their was no way to argue with such a point there was no risk without gain. Erina felt it would be such a pity if a girl like a Happy was reduced to nothing but flesh and bones.

" Since you have been to sites before how were they like. " Happy asked curiously.

" Hmm... Well in comparison to this sites I have no idea but the other sites are to extreme and dangerous despite there being available information on it. Over 6 people lives out of ten so I was kind of lucky "

Happy now understood what she meant by dangerous but she could not quit now.

" I am so sorry. Hmm so what school sent you " Happy immediately tried to change the topic.

Sensing what she was doing Erina was glad. " I am a visitor on a school list just not sure which one "

They kept talking about random things, Happy told her of the various myth of the person who owned the tomb. It was said that birds fly above the tomb and refuse to enter.

Ten feet away from the tomb is encased in silence and their is no presence of life.

" If that is the case won't we die as soon as we get there " Erina asked.

Happy laughed " Of course not it is just a myth. "

Happy went to bed and the other room mate came in she was tall about 5'11 and had lots of well defined muscles.

She looked extremely intimidating and did not seem interested to introduce herself.

Erina kindly ignored her and kept studying her map. The distraction that Happy provided her was enough to keep her mind rejuvenated.

After two days Erina and Happy had become very close. Though Erina stopped herself from discussing the things she had or what she was doing with her.

No matter how close and friendly one is with someone they could stab you in your back.

A loud voice boomed. " Attention to all excavators and those who will be on the journey to the site we will leave in two hours. "

Erina was grateful that she was always ready , she walked back into her room to get her map.

" Hey Erina are you ready " Happy asked.

" Sure are you " Erina smiled.

" Of course what about you Sarah " That was the name of the new roommate but Erina never cared to speak to her.

Seeing has Sarah was ready, Erina packed the supplies they provided her and moved into the transport truck.

About a few hours passed and they approached a forest.

The green trees were tall and blocked all the sunlight causing a dark shadow in the forest.

Arriving approximately ten feet away from the site, Erina could see the cave was enshrouded in darkness.

" Here is where we part we wish you all luck and hope you make great contributions to mankind. Remember anything you find should be submitted and you will be specially rewarded. " The commander spoke.

Erina strapped on the watch scanner and the communication aid to her ear.

They began to walk into the fields towards the cave. Erina remembered that Happy said that there was no life ten feet away from the cave.

Everyone on the field were still alive so what was happening.

Her legs kept moving as she thought deeply. Distracted she bumped into a stone and fell.

Trying to stand up she noticed a dead bat not to far were other dead animals including a small cat.

The worst part was that this animals were not bones or rotten flesh. They seemed like they were sleeping.

She got up and continued walking towards the cave the entrance was big enough for almost everyone to enter.

As she entered the cave. She saw so many openings everyone was full of excitement that they began to enter any opening that felt right.

Erina waited till everyone was gone before noticing that there was a opening that was behind her. The map she marked indicted these was the right way and she hoped she was right.

Erina switched on her light and walked in.
