earth, she decided now was not the time to second guess her decisions. She was going for it with everything she had, and she was going to make her mark.
Underground, as they scaled the rocks, she could smell the familiar scent of damp earth which rapidly gave way to clay. It was pitch black in there apart from the light on her helmet and just when she thought the journey down to the opening of the cave was never going to end, she heard Quattro call up to her that he had gotten there.
When her feet touched down next to his, she breathed a sigh of relief. She crawled forward on her hands and knees in the tunnel that could have only been around a few feet high and suddenly it opened out into the most spectacular underground world.
“Oh my god!” Melissa exclaimed as her voice echoed around the cave. There was a lagoon down there, huge prehistoric paintings of bulls and horses adorning the walls and star maps present, too. She had never seen anything so spectacular in her entire life and she knew instantly why Quattro had wanted to keep it so secret. There was a magic to the place… It was so hidden, so concealed from the world, it was a miracle it had been found in the first place. Everything in there was perfectly preserved and the contrasting rock formations of stalagmites and stalactites were bone chilling.
“They’re amazing,” she whispered, and her voice still echoing. She stepped forward and made her way to an area that seemed to pull her there… She couldn’t explain why, but there was something about the rocks that made her determined to walk to them. She needed to touch their points and feel the moisture running along them.
He was too busy taking in the incredible surroundings so it took Quattro a moment to realize where she was heading, but when he did, he spun around with a look of horror on his face and called to her. “Wait, no!” He shouted as he lunged forward…
But it was too late. Melissa had reached the rocks and had one in each hand. As she held onto their tips, a fire raged through her and what felt like lightening rocketed up and down her spine.
She was pummeled backwards, and the whole world went black. Everything was silent, and the pain in her head throbbed. She couldn’t hear Quattro anymore, and she couldn’t feel anything. With a rush of nausea, she fell unconscious before she could even process what had happened.

The cold bit her skin, and she could smell the faint smoky drift of firewood. She was woozy, but the crackling and snapping of twigs brought her more back to life as she rolled over and realized she was on ice-cold ground.
“Quattro?” she croaked as she leaned up on her elbows and looked around. She was in the cave…but it was different. No one else was there and a small fire burned around nearby. She looked down at herself and realized that over her own clothes she was wearing the black skin of an animal. The fur was keeping her warm, but her shoes were missing and she had raggy material tied to her feet and she was dirty.
“What the hell…?” she said as she got to her feet. The pain in her head was still raging, and she was sure that someone was playing a joke on her as she looked around at the lagoon and the ancient rocks. She let her eyes travel upwards and take in the depictions adoring the walls. The paintings weren’t as extensive as they had been only moments before, but they looked fresh, as if they had only just been done. Melissa felt a crawl of nervousness make its way up her limbs as her mind searched ferociously for answers. She swallowed and crossed her arms over her chest and she pulled the animal skin tighter around her and her mind became more focused. The more she looked, the more she knew… The cave looked different because it wasn’t as developed or underground… She could sense something had changed with time and space… She was no longer in the cave with the rest of the expedition, she had gone somewhere else entirely.
