“It’s a cave! Wow! Elsa’s face kindled with surprise.”
“We knew you would love it. This is our new shelter now. We have come here a couple of times.”
“Is it safe in there?” Elsa faltered, having a bad feeling.
“It’s ok. Come and see,” Alex urged.

That moment, a leaf fell from the tree and seemed to wither away right after the fall, unnaturally, like a bad sign. Elsa noticed that, she listened to the forest’s whisper, saw that the sun no longer sent its rays to her, but decided to ignore these signs, though.
“Let’s go inside and explore the cave,” she suggested instead.
“Great,” the others smiled.
At the first step into the cave, a cold shudder spread all over, and the darkness grew deeper. Elsa felt her courage melting bit by bit.
“Does anyone have a flash lamp?” she whispered.
“Yes, here it is,” and Alex turned on his flash lamp.

That moment Elsa saw strange drawings and figures on the wall, showing the hunting of some freakish being.
“That’s pretty creepy,” she remarked.
“Come on, don’t be so chicken-hearted,” Daniel laughed. “There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
