“All I can smell are caveman toilets,” I said.

Ned was beginning to get on my nerves. There was nothing to panic about! I had to find out if my parents were still here – maybe there were more pictures of them on the other walls. Just then, Ned grabbed my sleeve and started to pull me out. He was pretty strong and I had to struggle to wrench myself free of him.

“I’m not going anywhere without knowing if my mum and dad are here or not!” I hollered.

NOT! NOT! NOT! the echoes told me.

“Not safe!” Ned roared.

SAFE! SAFE! SAFE!

“You go then, if you’re so scared!”

SCARED! SCARED! SCARED!

Our noses were almost touching as we yelled at each other. We were silenced by a noise like a giant trumpet with a sock in it. Ned and I stared at each other.

Whatever was making that noise was very, very, very BIG.

I ran to the entrance and saw a herd of gigantic beasts heading in our direction. They looked like oversized elephants that had been rolling around in a ton of grey fluff, and each of them had a person on its back. I recognized them at once.

“Woolly mammoths!” I whooped. “Cool!”

They were lumbering straight towards us, and I figured we were standing in their cave. Ned was making little whimpering noises.

“It’s just a few woolly mammoths,” I told him, trying to sound relaxed about it.

I couldn’t quite remember whether mammoths were vegetarians or not, but they were related to elephants so I was betting they wouldn’t want to eat me. Besides, I couldn’t wait to see one close up. Looking at the skeleton in the Natural History Museum was not the same.

The mammoths were so close now that I could see the whites of their eyes. They were as big as ostrich eggs. I swallowed hard and gave them a little wave. At that moment, I wasn’t even thinking about the people who were riding them. I guess that was a mistake.

With a roar, one of the cavemen clambered down from his mammoth as if he were abseiling. He ran towards us, jabbing at us with his spear.

“DEATH! KILL! PAIN! BLOOD!” he bellowed, showering us with spit.

That didn’t sound good. I backed away and bumped into Ned, who was shaking from head to foot.

“Wh-why are you so angry?” I asked.

“Where Eddy? Where Henry?” the caveman roared.

“Those are my parents’ names!” I cried. “Are they here?”

The caveman’s overhanging brow frowned.

“Parents?”

His voice was deep and when he spoke it sounded as if there were thousands of tiny pebbles rubbing against each other in his throat.

“Yeah, my parents,” I said. “I know they’re here – I’ve seen the pictures in the cave. So where are they now?”

“Gone,” said the caveman, glaring at me with a fierce expression in his eyes. “Eddy and Henry gone.”

Hundreds of questions raced through my head. Mum and Dad were here in the Stone Age, but how was that possible? I had lost them millions of years in the past. How
