Snippet #2116369

Dean was somewhat dumbfounded at the audacity of Sean as he witnessed him plummet down after the girl into the darkness below. He heard a splash as he landed in the water, and waited until he could hear his voice. So at least he was safe, but what of her? Sean was calling out to her, and he waited, holding his breath as he stood on the edge of the crack. Finally he heard her too.

"Y-yes I'm here. I'm ok too... nearly drowned... but I'm ok" Dean sighed, that was relieving to hear. Now that they were both safe, it was a matter of either getting up, or following. He looked down into the darkness and as his eyes adjusted somewhat, he found that a glow was emanating from the cave. Most likely some sort of fungus he concluded as he listened to the two's splashing beneath him. He heard her call out for Sean, and then she called to know where he was.

"I'm up here!" Dean yelled down. "The hell do we do now?"

The girl spoke of the cavern being not as lit as others, and he could tell, but at least a light came from her watch now, marking her position. He looked down at the rough shadow broken up by the ripples in the water, and he tapped at the shotgun, waiting impatiently. He didn't like the situation, and he'd be glad to get out of it and into a... dare he say, safer place. Suddenly she yelled again.

"Be careful!"

Careful of what? Dean had a clenching in his gut as he sensed something bad was going to happen again. He looked around warily, eying every dark spot and crevice. He held the shotgun ready, but didn't want to have to fire down on the two, lest he endanger their lives with the spraying weapon. "Is everything okay?!" he said finally.
