"You're absolutely right, honey." Lisa said. "The best option we have is to stick together."
"As long as we're careful." Olly warned. "Who knows what could happen in that tunnel?"
So, led by William, the Thrivesons walked into the tunnel.
slowly, but surely, they walked down into the darkness.
As the light from the entrance faded, the Thrivesons soon found they were in nothing but darkness. and, it wasn't too long till they realized they were completely in the dark. they couldn't go any further.
"I sure wish we had some light." WIlliam said, "then we can see where we are."
Suddenly, they heard big booming footsteps.
then, almost a second or two after that, a huge bright light filled the area they were in.
they saw they were on a plastic floor, and around them were plastic walls, and a huge grey lid with holes in the top.
and, to their surprise, they saw more of the tiny human footprints. they saw that the footprints seemed to stop right where they were.
"The trail ends here." said Andi. "Weird."
suddenly, they saw a shadow appear behind them.
"OK," Andi said, "who turned the dark on again?"
When she, and her parents, and her brother, all turned round, they gaped, FOR THEY had seen the owner of the shadow!
