Daphne put her hand on Fred’s shoulder. “You hear that?” she said. Fred hadn’t at first, but now there was no denying it. Some voices were echoing through the large chamber. It sounded like they were getting closer.

Fred, Daphne, and Simon ducked back around the corner of the cave wall. “What is that stuff?” Daphne whispered.

“I don’t know,” said Fred. “I wonder if it has any connection to those spirits we saw earlier.”

As if in reply to Fred’s question, Simon made a slight whimpering sound. Fred and Daphne looked over to him, only to see both Civil War soldier ghosts standing next to them. The ghosts were smiling.

“Run!” Fred yelled. It no longer seemed like a priority to whisper.

Fred, Daphne, and a terrified Simon shot back down the dark tunnel from which they had come. They moved quickly, even as the light around them began to fade. The tunnel in front of them branched off in three directions. Fred bit his bottom lip and then chose the middle path. Daphne and Simon followed, hoping that Fred had more of a plan than they did. But as they ran into another jet black tunnel, they realized he was just making it up as he went along.

Fred stopped abruptly. Daphne and Simon did their best not to collide into their leader. It was a pretty difficult exercise.

“They’re not following,” Fred said between gasps for air.

“How do you know?” asked Simon.

“They glow, just like that cavern,” said Fred. “We’d see them coming pretty easily in this darkness.”
