clutches her stuffed bear, whispering Daddy, what's... what's under the ivy?
Contution
Let's go find out
takes a step forward, tiptoeing towards the ivy-covered wall Can I go first, Daddy?
Contution
Sure thing, princess. Lead the way.
giggles excitedly, starts pulling away the ivy with her free hand Look, Daddy! It's like a secret door!
Contution
Wow, that's amazing! Keep going, sweetie. Let's see what's behind it.
drops her stuffed bear and pushes the ivy aside, revealing a hidden entrance Daddy, look! It's a secret passage! Can we go inside? Please?
Contution
Sure as long as your little brother can come in. Asks Brody to help pull the ivy out of the way so they can get through
grabs Brody's hand, pulling him along Come on, Brody! We're going on an adventure!
Contution
Alright kids follow your sister and she will show you through
leads the way, dragging Brody along Don't be scared, Brody! We're gonna have so much fun! Brody: whispering Lily, what if there are monsters?
Contution
There won't be any monsters as long as daddy is close by
stops suddenly, gripping Brody's hand tightly Shh, Brody, listen! Do you hear that? listens intently, her eyes wide with excitement
Contution
I hear something too… Hold on I will go check it out. Shouts down into the secret area Can anyone say something so I know where yall are!
clutches her stuffed bear, whispering Daddy, what's... what's under the ivy?
Contution
Its just me checking up on you, princesses. You guys ready to go deeper yet?
<As they venture deeper into the secret passage, the ceiling collapses, trapping Lily, Brody, and Contution inside>
Contution
Hey it was worth the shot. Now let's try pushing the dirt off of the top of the cave so we can get out before anything else falls
frantically waving her arms Daddy, help! We're stuck! What do we do now? Brody: crying Lily, I'm scared! Can you fix it, Daddy?
Contution
Looks like some of the walls have crumbled. Okay listen let's stay calm nobody panic and then softly talk about what happened and maybe we will figure out a way to get out of here and patch up the hole in the ceiling before anything else falls
panicking Dad, we can't stay here! It's dark and scary! Can't you call for help or something? Brody: sobbing Yeah, Dad, please! We need someone to save us!
Contution
Calm down kids. Mommy will call for help. Okay first things first Lily let's cover up the hole in the ceiling with anything we can to prevent anyone else from falling through and getting hurt
starts frantically searching for something to cover the hole Daddy, look! I found a piece of cloth! tosses the cloth towards Contution Brody: whimpering H-Hurry, Lily! Before something else falls!
Contution
Holds the blanket over the hole and presses on it to see if the trapdoor will hold until they get rescued Yes it looks stable enough for now as long as nothing big falls in
breathing heavily, her voice shaking Dad, we need to find a way out of here! This place is giving me the creeps! Brody: sniffling Yeah, Dad, it's really scary. I don't like it here.
Contution
I agree but we don't have anywhere to go except deeper into this hole so we need to stay calm and figure out a plan to escape this place before we go any further. If we had our trusty rope this would be easier. Can you two bring your flashlights over here? We need to navigate around down here without tripping over anything
hands her flashlight to Contution Here, Dad. We need to find a way out before something else happens!
Contution
Takes both flashlights and turns them on and gives them back to the kids. They shine their lights down the tunnel to see how far it goes and it doesn't seem too far We'll head that way slowly we don't want any more collapses
whispering urgently Dad, look! There's a door at the end of the tunnel! Maybe it leads outside! Brody: eyes wide with hope Really? Can we go check it out, Dad?
Contution
Is everything alright? Did my two favorite people call me Dad? You guys usually call me mommy and daddy
stuttering N-no, Daddy! I mean... um, we're just... uh, stuck and... scared! But we can... find a way out together, right? Brody: sniffles Yeah, Daddy, we need to stick together and find a way back home!
