“Wow!” said Lily. She whispered to the glowworms in her lantern. “Wakey, wakey, rise and shine! It’s glowtime!” She laughed in delight as her lantern lit up, too. The tunnel wasn’t so scary now that she could see clearly.

They were about to set off again when a great gruff shout echoed down the tunnel.

“Boggits!” said Goldie, clutching at Jess and Lily. A moment later, there was a crashing sound and the whole tunnel seemed to shudder.

“It’s an earthquake!” Lily whispered fearfully.

There was another crash. She covered her ears to shut out the noise.

The lanterns went dark.

“Oh, no!” Jess said. “The noise must have frightened the glowworms. It’s too dark to go any farther without them.”

“Glowworms,” Lily whispered, “don’t be frightened. It’s just a noise and we won’t let it hurt you. Please wakey, wakey.”

There was the smallest beam of light.

“Please?” begged Lily. “Rise and shine?”

Rusty crept over. “Hey, wormies!” he whispered. “We’re desperate.”

There was a tiny glimmer, then another, then another. Soon the lantern was filled with glowing lights, and the girls could see again.

“What are the Boggits up to?” said Goldie. “I’m so worried about Bella! Rusty and Ruby, I know it’s scary, but please take us through the tunnels so we can look for her.”

Rusty and Ruby darted away.

As the others followed, Jess noticed that the light from the glowworms was casting huge shadows on the tunnel walls. What are they? she wondered with a flutter of fear. Then she realized! “The fox cubs’ shadows make them seem like giants!” she laughed.

Ruby and Rusty heard. They waved their paws and lashed their tails, making their shadows look like angry monsters!

The tunnel twisted and turned, then widened out. The friends found themselves at the opening of a vast cavern, with a thin, pale shaft of light filtering through a small hole in the roof.

In the middle were four grubby, hairy creatures, covered in fur of sickly yellow, washed-out blue, and dingy green.

Boggits!
