Crash!
"Ouch!" Sameer exclaimed.
"Sameer!" Aarav ran to Sameer and said "Are you all right?"
"Yeah..." Sameer replied and they both turn towards what had crashed into them.
It was another human. He looked the same age as them, wore a dark blue jacket over a white T-shirt. His eyes were a shade of light blue the same as Aarav's.
"Hey! Who are you man!" Sameer asked the new guy.
And in return the new guy replied "No time to answer they are coming! So run from here!" And dashed away.
"Hey! stop what do you mean by they are coming?!" Aarav asked the running guy.
The new guy replied "Look there!" And pointed towards the direction he had came from.
Both Aarav ans Sameer looked at the direction he pointed and a horde of robots were rushing their way.
"Hey! What is that?!" Sameer asked not knowing what the things were that was almost jogging towards them.
"Ho GOD! Run!" Aarav shouted and ran chasing behind the new guy.
"Hey! Wait" Sameer ran to catch up to the two. "What are those things?!"
"I don't know! But I do know they are dangerous to us!" Aarav said.
They ran along side the new guy. In front of them there is a three way path. One forward, one to their left and another to their right.
"Hey! turn left! The robots struggle to turn left!" The new guy suggested.
"Alright!" Sameer agreed but Aarav was a bit hesitant.
'Why do I have a feeling that if we turn left, something ... I just don't feel like left is the correct choice.'
As they were about to take a left turn. From that corner the hyena appered.
"I knew it! It was waiting for us! This was it's trap!" Aarav shouted to the two. "Quick! Run straight!"
The three ran with all they had, but the hyena was right on their tail. Not to mention the robots had began to shot the hyena.
At that moment the saw a metal door. "A lift!" Sameer exclaimed. He ran faster than the two to get to the lift. The new guy was astonished to see sameer's stamina.
Sameer reach the lift and opened the lift door. "Quick! Run faster!" He shouted.
Aarav and the new guy looked at eachother and began to run faster.
The got inside the lift "Now! Close the doors!" Aarav shouted.
Sameer slided the metal gril door which was for safty and pressed the button. The doors slowly closed.
"Hey can't you make it close any quicker!" The new guy asked Sameer.
Sameer began to press the button rapidly. "Comeon! Qick! Close quick, before the beast comes!"
The beast ran fast to catch the three before the lift fully closes. It opened It's mouth waide showing its hundreds of unpleasantly arranged teeths. As it was just a meter away the lift finally closed and moved down.
As they travel down the lift, they could here the beast slaming and smashing the safty grill gate of the lift four times.
"Sigh" The let go their breath they had been holding.
"Where is this lift going?" The new guy asked.
"Don't know I just pressed a random button" Sameer replied.
Aarav looked at the screen at top of the floor buttons. Sameer had pressed 'B1'.
"B1! The basement?!" He exclaimed.
"What? I just panicked and pressed the nearest button my hand got to!" Sameer said.
"Just leave it. Any way we are finally out of danger." The new guy said.
"Don't jinx..."
The lift suddenly moved down fast. The three flew up in motion for a second due to the sudden speed.
AAAaaaa! The three screamed.
Then crash! The lift fell to the ground with a loud crash. Thankfully the three were safe.
Sameer stood up first and the lights in the lift was off. It was dark and he could not see any thing.
"Hey! What just happened?" Aarav asked and holded Sameer's arm.
"AAAaaa! Something is holding me!" Sameer screamed.
"Hey! Don't get sacred It's me Aarav." Aarav calmed him down.
"Ho, it's just you. I got scared for a second."
"Alright, alright, now open the door." Aarav said.
"You see I am actualy pressing the 'open the boor' button every second." Sameer said.
"So, you mean the door is stuck." The new guy said it in a direct manner.
"Yeah." Sameer agreed. "It can't be opened now."
"No worry, just move away from the door and may be behind me." The new guy ordered.
The two got behind him and he got him self ready and kicked the door. But it did not open. "It is one hell stubborn door." And kicked it again, and again.
"Wait!" Aarav stoped him and said "Let's both try together."
"You say I am weak?" The new guy got offended by the idea of getting help from Aarav.
"I don't mean that you are weak, but if we both do it, it will me more easier." Aarav justified himself.
"Alright then, let's try it." The new guy agreed.
"Here!... We!... GO!" The two shouted in unison.
The door finally opened with a loud Baam!
Sameer got out first, took a deep breathe and exhaled. "Finally! We are out!"
Aarav came out of the lift, looked around and asked "What is this place?"
The new guy came out last, looked around and said "It looks like a cave."
Sameer looked up and shouted "Hey! look up!"
The others also looked up and saw a part of the museum basement ceiling.
The basement pillers attached to the ceiling, dangling in air, It's iron rods used to support the cement clearly visible.
Aarav looked at the floor and noticed it was not like a natural made material. It was a rubble of tiles and cement.
He said "The basement floor must have collapsed into this cave. Clear evidence that it is the basement floor." And picked up a piece of tiles.
Sameer looked at the rubble and touched the cement, looked around and noticed a lot of dust at the top. He placed his right hand on his chin and thought for a while and said
"But how was the museum build on top of the cave it must have collapsed during the construction itself, but it lookes like it had just recently collapsed."
Aarav gave his question a thought and said "I think the museum was not intended to be build on top of a cave. The cave must have formed after the museum was built."
"But how can a cave be formed out of no were it usually takes centuries to form even a small on, not to mention this cave is massive." Sameer protested.
The new guy suggested "I think the cave was always here it must have been not noticed during building it, about thirty meters deep into the earth and when an earthquake or something similar happened the cave wall must have collapsed and opened to a part of the museum basement."
"That is valid" Sameer agreed.
"Alright, leave that. How are we going to get out of this place?" Aarav said looking up, hoping he would find a way.
"Even if we find our way up, the the army of robots ready to exhilarate any human on sight." The new guy said.
"And not to mention the huge hyena is waiting for us to come up, so it can eat us for breakfast, lunch and dinner." Sameer added remembering how much teeth the hyena had.
"We should probably go deeper into the and try to find a different way out." Aarav suggested.
"Yeah, I agree with him." The new guy agreed with Aarav and reviled. "And by the my name is Kabir."
"Iam Aarav and this guy next to me is Samar." Aarav said to Kabir.
Sameer offended by Aarav said "My name is Sameer! Not Samar!"
Aarav joined both hands and apologised to Sameer "Ho! Sorry!"
Kabir loosing his patience said "Alrigh, alright, stop you guys drama and let's move." And walked in front.
Aarav stoped Kabir and asked "Hey! Wait before we go could you tell me how did you get here?"
"Well... I don't remember any thight before I woke up. All I remember is that I woke up out from frozen in ice kept on display. My ice seemed to be melted and I got free. After that I went around to look around to see where exactly I was and also found the main exit, but it was gurded by a swarm of the robots ready to kill me, one had noticed me and others ran towards me to kill me. And that's when I met you two."
"When you mean met, you mean crashed into us." Aarav joked.
"Sorry about it was a pure accident, I am trueky sorry for that." Kabir apologised.
———————————
About 30 minutes later
———————————
Sameer coplained "Is this a cave or a high way?! How long is this cave?!" He stoped and holded his knees.
The other two stoped and looked at Sameer.
"What? Already tired? We just walked for what half an hour." Aarav said.
"But he us right." Kabir justified Sameer's doubt. "This cave does not look like it was naturally formed. There is not twists, turns or even an branch. This cave too straight to be naturally made."
Aarav unsure want Kabir was talking about asked "What are you telling? Come straight to the point."
"I mean this cave might not be naturally made. Instead I think it is made by humans." Kabir clarified.
"Human made? Butfor what reason would they build a cave this longfor?" Sameer asked.
"I don't know. It might be for transpor or construction something like a sewage or metro or it might even be for war." Kabir answered.
Aarav listed to the two yapping not understanding what Kabir was telling. He looked at Sameer who was emerged in his mind, probability thinking of how to stop Kabir from yapping about how the cave was formed.
At that moment Aarav heard a small sound like a wisper
"Aaaa!"
'I think it's just the air.'
"Aaaa!"
'Again that same sound.'
Aarav kept hus index finger on his lips and "Shhh!" silenced the two.
Kabir and Sameer stoped their yapping and looked at Aarav.
"What is it?" Sameer asked Aarav.
Aarav kept one hand on his left ear in a cone gesture to hear more clearly and wuspered "Didn't you guys here that sound?"
"What sound?" Kabir asked.
"Aaaa! Help!"
"That sound! It said help!" Aarav said.
Sameer and Kabir also kept their hand on their ear in a conical gesture to hear more clearly.
"Help mee!" That voice again shouted.
"Someone want our help! Comeon follow me!" And Aarav ran towards the sound.
"Hey! Wait for us!" Sameer shouted and ran behind Aarav.
Kabir Said "What us this new headach." And began to run.
