The damn bushes

Finally, the housekeeper is gone and Frank heads back where Lucy has been hiding. "You scared the shit outta me man!" Lucy says after lightly punching on his shoulder. "Ah.. you hit me too much today Anyways, so our next plan is to get the car keys. While opening the door I had a very quick look through the cabinets as there were names written on each of them so we needed to find the name of the manager to get the key." "Oh I know how to do that!!" as Lucy replied excitedly.

Lucy heads downstairs and Frank follows him. "Hi!!, is Mr. Buttlicker on a morning shift? And by the way he is a housekeeping manager?" "I am sorry what?" Receptionist replied. "Mr. Buttlicker man.. Come on." Lucy said. "There is no one named Mr. Buttlicker working here, "the confused Receptionist replied. "What a baloney.. Mr. Buttlicker is a damn housekeeping manager who works here in the morning shift". "No.. it is Zeke Benjamin and he works from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm." an irritated Receptionist replied.Lucy whispered, "dumb intern" and left to room with Frank. "Vital information to have but a very rude way to obtain it." Frank commented.

*MEANWHILE BACK AT THE CAVE*

Raby and Will discover the shady Cave behind the waterfall but it was just too dark. "This cave seems suspicious and knowing the exploring nature of Martha, we should give this place a shot. I just want her to be safe." Raby said. "Well, we need a huge wooden piece or something and I can tie my jacket on so we can use the light. You check on the left side and I will check on the right side." Will nodded and went to the left to check. (Bushes buzzing). "Oh lord… What is that?Oh Jesus please protect me." As scared Will approaches the bushes and buzzing stops. As he looks behind bushes, he notices black rose. "Oh no danger. Thank you god for protecting me. Just a weird black rose." William was relieved. "Shall I give this rose to Raby since black is his favourite colour? But wouldn't that be weird since it is a flower?" hesitantly he bends down to pull the flower and huge mighty power pulls him and swallows him in the ground.

*AFTER FEW BRIEF MOMENTS*

"Hey man, I found this wooden trunk piece and I think it should work." Raby after arriving at the same entry spot. "Will Cmon!! I got the stuff, let's roll in." Raby yells in the left direction. Raby waits for a few minutes and he walks towards the left side. "Will !! William!!, Favourite child of fucking god!!" Raby finds no signs of Will.

(bushes buzzing). "What the fuck is that? Come on Will, no time for prank." Furiously, Raby headed towards the bushes and the bushes stopped buzzing. As he notices just a black rose there. "What the fuck man. I don't wanna believe Will chickened out but I am not gonna waste any time anymore." As Raby lights his jacket by knotting it to the wood and heads inside the cave. Cave was chillingly cold as he noticed insects all over the place and filled with spider webs.

While Will walks, he is about to step on a curled asleep Timber rattlesnake which is a poisonous snake with a toxic bite. "Oh shit...:"Slowly scared Raby steps back and quickly shifts to the other side and continues his foot journey. Cave was getting more intense with its atmosphere and was even more chilled than before but Raby was sweating. After almost walking for 10 minutes his jacket was fully burnt off and fire was blown out. "Crap! Dammit" scared and panicked" Raby tried to get back the light through his lighter but it was not working but he kept trying. A Medium-sized spider falls over the neck of Raby and lands into the shirt of Raby. He started to scream, trying to reach his back, "Ow ow, what is that?!" and in this panicked situation he started to rub his back on the wall desperately and the secret painting-door opened which made him fall on his back. "Great landing!" Groaned Raby gets up in pain. "Why am I feeling so sticky and moist on my back? " As he reaches towards his back, gets a mashed up body part and a broken leg of spider in blood which grosses him out. "Yuck!!I will ditch the shirt later. Just gonna find Martha soon." Frustrated Raby shouts, "Martha!!!Are you there? Martha!! It is Raby here."

(BUSHES BUZZING)

"Martha is that you?" Raby runs over quickly to the bushes but discovers a red and white rose lying down with a planted black rose. "No Martha here. Just a bunch of stupid flowers!!" Furiously Raby raises his feet to smash the black rose and as soon as his shoe touches the black rose, an extremely strong force pulls him deep into the ground.

*BEFORE SOME TIME AGO*

As soon as Martha pulls the rose, a mysterious powerful force pulls her hand into the deep underground. The force was extremely strong which was dragging her through various layers of ground which were filled with plant roots, different worms and insects. As she fell on a yellow looking object with a hit. "Ow no, crap my back it hurts." After a few moments she starts to scan the strange place she landed. Martha landed on Tall yellow rose as she was laying down on one of its petals and the flower was 15 feet tall. This place seemed like a completely different world which was filled with bugs, insects and snakes rolling over the ground and bats flying over the sky. "Woah where am i? And did I just lose those flowers? Da-" as suddenly sandstones landed on her head from the hole she fell. Martha´s head got hit and she passed out.

*AFTER SOMETIME*

"No no no, My god ahhhhhh!!!" screamingly Will falls on one of the petals of the rose. "Oh, am I alive? Yes I am.. Thank you Jesus christ. And oh almighty? What is this place? Is this hell?" Worried Will started to pray and soon he noticed unconscious Martha on the other side of the petal and he was about to run towards her but the pistil of rose(the middle part of flower) was filled with sharp spikes. "Ok i have to be more careful. I will go from the edge and walk carefully." Even though he was walking slowly with precaution, he steps on the spike and he screams in extreme pain, "oh goddddddd!!" As he somehow manages to reach Martha while limping. "Martha, wake up! Martha!!" as Will shakes her. After a few moments Martha woke up as her head was hurting with minor injuries. "Mom, mom where am I?" As slowly Martha wakes up he sees William and she wraps her arms around him tightly while burying her head in his chest. "Martha are you okay? I am so thankful to the almighty." As gently Wil strokes her head while Martha is sobbing.

Martha and William share the events that occurred to them for them being there. "So.. that is how I lost Raby and I am not sure that he went into the cave or not." William finished his story after listening to Martha describing hers. "I just hope Raby is safe. If he goes into the cave then he will end up here for sure." Worriedly Martha. After some time Martha tries to break the awkward silence and tension saying, "Will… actually i got some flowers for you but i think i lost them back at that cave and I wanted to ask y-" (RUMBLING AND SCREAMING SOUND FROM THE HOLE)

"Oh God!! That feels like it is Raby". William panicked and got more scared as one of Raby´s one of the shoes fell and landed into the pistil. "Dammit!! He is gonna land into spikes!! Martha quickly runs towards the other side from the edges to grab the opposite side of the petal and I will do the same and we both pull it off to our side to cover the spikes". As both of them ran towards the edges and time was ticking when the second shoe fell off Raby. "Hurry Martha!!" "This damn petal is heavier than it looks." Martha yelled back. As both of them grabbed the petal from each side, pulled it off with their maximum strength and they could see Raby falling when they reached halfway to the other side of the petal.
