Jake

As the crashing sounds quieted, I got off of Cassie and looked around without a word. There were two makeshift doors behind us and a third which was sealed off by a large pile of cave rocks. On the other end, there was a large wall of rocks which cut us off from the exit.

We were trapped.

I heard a groan. I turned around as Cassie slowly sat up grasping her head tightly. I ran to her and pulled her up by her small waist. I quickly made a note of how extremely beautiful she was.

“Are you okay?” I asked her, gazing into her eyes and feeling her body appropriately to check for broken bones. “Are you hurt?”

She shook her head. “No, I-I think I just hit my head too hard.” She replied dizzily. I smiled, relieved that she was alright and to my surprise she smiled back. I grasped her hands and helped her into a standing position.

“Where are the others?” she asked me. I shrugged and searched. Had they been trapped beneath?

“Guys?” I called. I could hear their muffled responses coming from beyond the rock wall. They hadn’t been trapped under, only behind. I began to dig through the boulder sized rocks, continuing to call out to them. After a few minutes, I must’ve pulled out a very important rock because twenty others from the top began to fall towards us.

“Jake?” I heard, suddenly very clearly. I looked at the wall again and there was a small peephole that had been made by the falling rocks. I scrambled up and looked through. I saw Rachel’s gorgeous blue eye staring back.

“Are you okay?” I said, putting my mouth to the hole.

“Yeah Jake, we all are. Where’s Cassie? Is she with you?” Rachel asked me, concerned for her best friend. I was about to respond when a new voice came through the opening.

“Jake, you need to listen to me very carefully, alright?” Came the wise, old voice. “Do you see the doors behind you?” I looked back at the makeshift doors.

“Yeah.” I replied.

“Well you need to get inside the one with the purple crystals. There is a tunnel a little ways back that will take us straight to you. Once you are inside the room, do not move. The door will not reopen from the inside and you need me to get through the rest of the cave.” He instructed.

“Which door is it?” I asked him, eyeing the two doors carefully. He responded that he did not know and that he never kept track of which one was which.

“But be careful you two. Do not leave the door that leads into complete darkness open.” He said finally. “We’ll see you in twelve hours.”

My jaw dropped. “Twelve hours!” But there was no reply which led me to believe that he had already left. I turned back to Cassie who stared at me curiously.

“He says that there is a tunnel that will take them straight to one of those rooms. Jake instructed me to wait in that room.” I said to her, pointing at the doorways.

“Which room?” She asked.

“The one with the purple crystals.” I stated blankly. We walked over. She took the left door and slowly opened it. Though it was day and light was being cast into it, the room was pitch black.

“The door that leads into totally darkness.” I said aloud to no one in particular. I had no idea what was so horrible about that room, but I had I feeling that I really did not want to find out. After I made sure the door was closed as tightly as it could be shut, I grasped the handle of the door on the right and opened it.

“Oh my-” Cassie breathed. The room was made completely of purple amethyst crystals. As the light from inside the cave hit the surface, the room gleamed brightly. I had to shut my eyes to comprehend its beauty.

Cassie walked straight into the room and touched one crystal that stuck out of the wall. She traced it with her fingers then turned back to me, smiling.

“Jake, it’s gorgeous.” She exclaimed.

“But I didn’t make this.” I protested foolishly. She walked up and grabbed my hand.

“No Jake, you haven't. But you will.” She told me gently. I smiled and looked again at the room of amethyst. It really was a dazzling sight.

“Well, you know it only takes someone like me, with my superior intellect-” I teased. Cassie rolled her eyes.

“Oh yes, Great Leader.” She replied sarcastically.

“And my excellent leadership-”

“Oh, most definitely, sir.”

“And my extremely good looks.”

“Most importantl- hey!” she finished punching me gently in the shoulder. “Who says you’re good looking?” I pouted.

“What? Are you saying I’m not?” I asked, tickling her. She began laughing. “Well, then who is, huh? Who’s better looking than me?” I continued to tickle her, until she tripped and fell onto the crystal floor with me on top.

“Jake! Stop! That tickles!” She laughed. I didn’t stop.

“Not until you tell me Cassie. Hah-hah!” she laughed harder until I was pretty sure she was having trouble breathing.

“Okay! Okay! I give up, no one! No one!” she giggled. I stopped tickling her and sat back, surprised. I felt a smile creep up my face as my entire body grew numb.

“Seriously? Not even Marco?” I asked. She wrinkled her nose.

“Eww, no. He’s not my type.” She confessed. Not my type. The words repeated themselves over and over again in my head. The smile grew bigger still.

“So you’re saying that I am your type?” I asked her. A look of shock spread across her face.

“N-No! I- well, I mean… you’re uhm, well.” She was at a loss for words. I raised an eyebrow.

“Cassie? Am I making you nervous?” I asked her seductively adding a hint of pretend-shock to my voice. I gazed into her eyes and brought my face closer to hers. She didn’t say anything, just stared at me shyly as I brought my lips gently down to touch hers.

She resisted at first but then deepened the kiss and pulled my body down to her. I could feel her hands slide up the back of my shirt and begin to pull at it. I deepened the kiss, begging her for entry with my tongue.

She granted it to me and wrapped her arms around my head, pulling me closer. We broke apart for mere seconds, in which time both of our shirts were thrown carelessly on the ground. I slid my hands up her sides to unsnap her bra and caress her full breasts. I kissed them softly, sending shivers up her spine, and she carefully undid the zipper on my shorts and pulled them and my boxers off completely. I planted kisses along her jaw line as I removed her jeans and the only thing between us.

“Cassie,” I breathed against her lips. “Are you sure? Are you sure you want this?” I asked, kissing her passionately again. She shivered and placed her hands on my chest, nodding.

I slowly entered her and she gave a shuddering gasp. I began to move inside of her and she groaned with pleasure.

“Jake… Jake, uh JAKE!” she screamed my name over and over as I made love to her in that beautiful crystal room. When it was over, I slowly slid off of her and she leaned into me, breathing deeply but smiling.

“It’s beautiful.” Cassie whispered against my chest. I stroked her hair lovingly.

“Yes,” I replied, “you are.”
