Chapter Fourteen – Amber

“Here’s the flashlight.” Kelos rummaged around in the dark before he straightened up and thrust something into her hand. Amber closed her fingers around the curved handle of the flashlight. “Press the button here to turn it on and off.”

Her thumb rested on the raised button and she pressed it. A beam of light instantly illuminated the area around them. It was a cave.

“There’s nothing here.” She swung the beam of light left and right across the cave floor. All she could see were lumps of fallen rock and dust. Tipping the flashlight, she shone it over the ceiling. “This isn’t about to fall down around us, is it?”

“Nope, it’s quite safe. Don’t worry.” He slipped his hand into hers. “This way.” The excitement in his voice was contagious and a shiver of anticipation threaded through her as he set off across the cave heading for the back wall, which looked like another solid rock face.

“Where…” The beam of light rested on a small gap in the rock. “We’re going in there?” Kelos was leading her deeper and deeper into the cave and a sudden wave of claustrophobia swept over her.

“There’s a short tunnel and then it opens up into another cave. It’s safe,” he assured her. “I wouldn’t have brought you down here if it wasn’t.”

He wouldn’t. He’d sworn to protect her and said he could never hurt her. It was safe. At least, Kelos believed it was safe. However, she lacked the ability to shift into a huge dragon with a tough scaly skin that would protect him from falling debris.

“I don’t like it in here,” she admitted. “But if this is important to you then I’ll follow you.”

She took a deep breath and forced the air into her lungs even though her throat constricted with panic as she followed Kelos into the tunnel. Whatever was here had better be good.

“Can you still sense Margie and the kids? Even through the rock?” Amber asked as panic over her sister-in-law threatened to overtake panic of being buried alive under tons of rock.

“I can still sense her,” Kelos assured her. “They are alone.”

“And if anyone came for them, would we get back there in time to save them?” Amber asked. If this was her idea of taking her mind off the enclosed space around them then she had to be a masochist. Torturing herself with thoughts of her sister-in-law getting kidnapped was not the way to go.

“I would.” He nodded, his face pale in the light from the flashlight. “I promise.”

She nodded grimly and followed him through the tunnel, thankful when they exited the other side. As the cave opened up, the air smelled sweeter, less stagnant, and she wondered if there was another entrance into this part of the cave.

“Is this it?” Amber still couldn’t see why they were here.

“This way.” He inclined his head to the right and she followed him, sweeping the ground with the flashlight.

“What is that?” The light reflected off something shiny. As she moved the beam back and forth, the shiny object grew bigger.
