45 Survive (18.5)

The hand which was originally huge and dry and leathery on the inside, now began shrinking, until it was the human hand of Alice. The hand quickly fell down on the floor in front of them as Alice had crumpled onto the floor.

Tears began dripping like ice melting, Alice hit the floor in frustration, and then Alice hit herself in the face. Hard. She hit herself hard enough for it to sound like a slap from a friend who hit just a tad too hard.

"Are you okay? I mean, no hurt done so no need to cry." Noah said, aiming to maybe cheer her up, meanwhile Aza looked down on her with little to no empathy.

Then Alice who was in her human form flashed into a baby gorilla, which made Noah jump backwards. Then he slowly approached her again, before picking her up and continuing upwards. Aza stood behind him, yawning.

The cave was eerily silent, there was only darkness apart from Aza's ball of light. Then the cave began opening up and behind that another light source was scene. There was a fire, a blue one illuminating blue light.

It was also strangely warm there, and in the end of the circular room there was a pathway which led up. Aza yawned again and Noah yawned behind her, Alice had already fallen asleep. They followed suit.
