Lava Hound

[BONUS] Chapter 5/5

"I swear the walls are moving and are squishing me," Alicia complained.

Rafaela laughed. "It's just your bulging tummy."

"Excuse me? I'm size twenty-four."

"Don't you mean thirty-four?" Rosie teased, and the others laughed.

The only woman who didn't laugh was Pamela, whose fingers were sweating, eyes keeping watch, seeking whatever light was present.

Traversing a 400-millimeter-wide path with only a torch in their hands as light against the darkness wasn't exactly her type of adventure.

"You okay?" Silvia looked over her shoulder and grabbed Pamela's hand.

Pamela swallowed her fear and gulped her saliva. "Y-yeah."

Silvia was worried about Pamela but decided to respect her brave front. Pamela didn't want to burden the group just because she was afraid of tight spaces and darkness.

She'd rather take it all to herself and not complain all for the majority's sake.
