Chapter 3

They stepped outside of the flat, it was dark outside and the streets were bathed in moonlight, Tash closed and locked the door and they both headed towards the pub, it wasn’t too far from their home, it was near the sea and so it was a hot spot for bird watchers and general day trippers, on hot sunny days it was packed, but tonight it was deathly silent. The cool breeze flowed in from the sea, it whipped round Blues body making her hair stand on end, Tash never felt the cold she was always warm, when they were little and she was cold she would always climb in bed with Tash and would instantly feel warm and fall asleep. Blue looked over at her friend, she didn’t know what she would do without her, she was her family, her sister from anotha mista, she smiled to herself as she thought of all the fun times they had had when they were little.

Blue was brought out of her thoughts as the air changed around them, Blue felt it as well as Tash, they both stopped and looked around “Tash what’s going on the air has turned stale?” Blue whispered “I don’t know Blue, but its not good, we need to search near were you fell, show me” Blue went over to the broken chairs “here this is where I was, but I don’t see anyone around” Blue looked around and couldn’t see anyone, where did they go? She wondered.

She looked on the ground and saw nothing, no blood, no bits of clothing, nothing, if it wasn’t for the broken chairs and the table it would have looked like nothing had happened, she hoped Tash believed her and didn’t think that she had made the whole story up, just so that they didn’t have to move again. She started to pick the bits of chairs up to see if she could see anything under them, any scrap of evidence.

Tash started to walk over to the edge of the cliffs, she had a bad feeling about what had happened to Anthony, she peered over the edge and was relieved to see nothing. Something caught her eye a flash, it came from the bottom of the cliffs. She looked around and found Blue picking up the broken chairs, “Blue, we need to go down their” she pointed to the bottom of the cliff, Blue looked confused “why Tash” Blue looked at her friend with confusion and then it dawned on her “oh god do not tell me you think he’s down their Tash” Blues eye went wide and tears pricked her eyes and threated to fall “I don’t know Blue, but we must look, even if we find him we need to know” Blue sighed and followed her friend.

There was a path that would take them down through the cliffs to the bottom, it was very steep and Blue nearly slipped a couple of times, but the girls were determined to see the bottom, suddenly Tash slipped, Blue went to grab her hand, but Blue lost her footing and went with her, Blue realised that they weren’t slipping they were falling, “what the Helllllllllllll” Tash screamed as they kept on falling, both girls desperately tried to grab anything, branches, rocks, earth, anything that will stop their decent into this black hole.

Tash opened her eyes she tried to adjust to the darkness which engulfed her and the reality of what had happened hit her, she tried to move, her chest burned and her back cracked as she dragged herself up, she fumbled around in the dark when she stumbled and fell over something, “oh my god Blue…… Blue….” Tash started pushing and pulling Blue “Blue please, please wake up come around please” Tash was getting frantic now, Blue then moved and moaned “ohhhhhhhh whattttttt theeeee…..”

Blue opened her eyes she could see Tash’s worried face in front of her, “what happened Tash, where the hell are we, oh my God I can bloody see in the dark…” Blue could see so clearly her friends face the shape of the walls, the dirt on the ground, the bugs….”OH MY GOD BUGS BLOODY BUGS EVERYWHEREEEEEEEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHH” Blue screamed and jumped at Tash, she stumbled and fell backwards, “BBBBLLLUUUUUEEEEE NOOOOOOOOOO” the girls screamed as they fell further down the dark tunnel, they rolled through some leaves and crashed into some icy water.
