I remember it like it was yesterday. My archaeology class had been invited to Scotland by a while known archaeologist by the name of Dr. Tim Greta. He was an old colleague of our teacher and he invited us to his dig site to help study some strange writing he found. He found the writing in ancient cave system near Dundee.
He had heard rumors that the caves had been used by ancient Druids. When he got to the caves he found the writing but it wasn’t Ogham. When he saw it he became very confused. Thus we headed overseas for some onsite experience.
When we landed it was late evening and we were met by Dr. Greta himself. He then took us to one of the local hotels for the night. The next morning we were meet by one of the doctor’s aides. He had came to take us to the caves, which would take some time to get to. Along the way he pointed out various places of interest and of historical presidents.
It took us awhile to get to the caves and when we got there we were taken to Dr. Greta’s tent. The good doctor greeted us and gave us our assignments. He also warned us not to wonder to deep into the caves.
“Dr. Greta why shouldn’t we go deeper into the caves?” asked a guy named Steve Hel. A six foot tall jock that was as dumb as a rock and as ugly as troll. “I mean shouldn’t we explore deeper into them to see if we can find more of that writing or the maybe the source?”
“The reason Mr.….” began Dr. Greta.
“Hel. Steve Hel.”
“Well the reason Mr. Hel is that we haven’t got lights up in all the tunnels and chambers,” replied the doctor. “So it’s unsafe to go any deeper until we get all the lights up.”
We all agreed that was a really good and simple reason not to go deeper into the caves. We all knew that Steve would find away to go deeper into the caves anyway. After getting our assignments we broke into groups and headed for our assigned areas unaware of the impending danger.
My group was consisted of my girlfriend Carla Hems, her twin brother Carl Hems, his girlfriend Amy Nix and our friend Alex Mackenzie. We had finished up one of our sections and headed for the next one. We had barely started the new section when an announcement came over the radio that said “Attention everyone there is….”
The last part of the announcement was cut off by a loud explosion that knocked us all out. When I came too I didn’t know what had happened. The first thing I noticed was that the lights were out but for some reason I could still see and what I saw made me think I was the only one left.
“Is anyone there?” I yelled.
“You don’t have to shout dude,” came a voice not too far away.
I knew that voice and asked “Carl?”
“Yeah it’s me Rick,” said Carl.
I looked toward the voice and was shocked for where Carl had once been standing there was now a six foot grey wolf.
“Carl is that really you?” I asked.
“Don’t be stupid dude,” said the grey wolf in Carl’s voice. “Of course it’s me.”
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing. The grey wolf looked over at me and blinked.
“Rick?” he asked pointing. His eyes suddenly went wide when he saw his hand. He looked at the rest of him and then at me horrified.
“Rick if that really is you,” he said. “What the fuck happened to us?”
“Yeah it’s me,” I replied as I look at my own hands and my eyes almost pop out of my head. I couldn’t believe it my hands were covered in tan fur with large black spots. “I wish I knew what the hell happened to us.”
“Shit. What the hell happened?” came another voice.
“That voice,” I said.
“Alex?” called Carl.
“Carl? Rick?” he called back.
“Yeah it’s us,” I said.
“Alex where are you?” called Carl.
“Over here,” he said and we heard the sound of movement not to far off.

My group was consisted of my girlfriend Carla Hems, her twin Candy Hems, her girlfriend Amy Nix and our friend Alex Mackenzie. We had finished up one of our sections and headed for the next one. We had barely started the new section when an announcement came over the radio that said “Attention everyone there is….”
The last part of the announcement was cut off by a loud explosion that knocked us all out. When I came too I didn’t know what had happened. The first thing I noticed was that the lights were out but for some reason I could still see and what I saw made me think I was the only one left.
“Is anyone there?” I yelled.
“You don’t have to shout,” came a voice not too far away.
I recognized that voice and asked “Amy?”
“Yeah it’s me Rick,” said Amy.
I looked toward the voice and was shocked for where Amy had once been standing there was now a six foot grey wolf.
“Adam is that really you?” I asked.
“Don’t be stupid Rick,” said the grey wolf in Amy’s voice. “Of course it’s me.”
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing. The grey wolf looked over at me and blinked.
“Rick?” she asked pointing. Her eyes suddenly went wide when she saw her hand. She looked at the rest of her and then at me horrified.
“Rick if that really is you,” she said. “What the hell happened to us?”
“Yeah it’s me,” I replied as I look at my own hands and my eyes almost pop out of my head. I couldn’t believe it my hands were covered in tan fur with large black spots. “I wish I knew what the hell happened to us.”

“Amy? Rick?” he called back.
“Yeah it’s us,” I said.
“Alex where are you?” called Amy.
“Over here,” he said and we heard the sound of movement not too far off.
We looked around and saw him crawling from under some rubble. We hurried over to him to help him.
“You ok Alex?” Amy and I asked together.
“Yeah I’m ok,” he said. “Where are Carla and Candy?”
“Don’t know,” I said and looked over at him. As if to answer the question low groans were heard coming from the tunnel we had come through earlier. All three of us turned in response to the groans.
“Do you thanks it’s them?” Amy asked.
“Maybe,” I said. I then looked at Alex and asked “Can you see well enough to find your way?”
“It’s to fucking dark to see anything clearly,” he said.
I shook my head and said “We can’t leave you here it’s too dangerous.”
“I’ll lead him,” said Amy as she grabbed Alex by the hand.
“Shit,” he said. “You need to do something about your nails Amy.”
“Shut up,” retorted Amy as she began to lead him down the tunnel. I just rolled my eyes and followed them. The groaning got louder the deeper we went.
“They couldn’t have gone that far back up the tunnel,” said Alex.
“That’s true,” I said.
“Who’s there?” came a voice out of the darkness.
“Carla?” I called.
“Rick is that you?” she replied.
“Not just me but Amy and Alex as well,” I said.
“Is Candy with you Carla?” asked Amy.
A pair of glowing red eyes appeared just ahead of us. The eyes were accompanied by Candy’s voice “Yeah I’m here.”
“Are you both ok?” Alex asked.
“Just a bit bruised,” said Carla.
“What happened?” asked Candy.
“Don’t know,” said Alex.
“All I remember is that there sound like an explosion,” I said.
“Came to thank of it,” said Amy. “I also remember an explosion of some kind.”
The others also remembered the explosion.
“We need to get out of here before the whole system comes down on us,” said Carla.
“That’s a good idea,” I said. I looked at Carla and Candy and asked “Can you two walk?”
“I thank so,” said Candy as she began to stand.
“I don’t know but I can try,” said Carla as she began to stand as well. She then fell on her backside with a gasp of pain and grabbed her ankle. “I thank my left ankle is sprained.”
“I’ll carry you then,” I said as I moved to pick Carla up.
“Thanks,” she said as she placed her hands around my neck. She let out a gasp of surprise when she felt the fur. “Rick what happened to you?”
“I don’t know but I thank whatever that explosion was may have changed us all,” I said. “Somehow.”

I like the tale thus far. I might have a few suggestions about it, but right now it would solely be about format. Feel free to message me in the OOC room for a little more detail. I would love to see more of the story unfolding as you continue to develop it. Really good work there.

Loving the story, and do keep writing.
