"AJ, why are you flinching?" Kevin asked, looking at his friend.
"Uh ... my hand looks blue."
"What?"
AJ held out his hand that Brian was holding on to and showed it to Kevin.
"Whoooah!" Kevin said. "That really is blue!"
AJ rolled his eyes and tried to make Brian loosen his grip. But that didn't stop Nick from whining.
"Kevin, I'm hungry."
"We'll get something to eat later," Kevin said.
"My legs HURTS!"
"We'll get help later."
"I have a headache."
"Try finding some Tylenol."
"I'm gonna barf."
"Get away from me."
Nick limped away from AJ for a moment and went over behind some trees. He started puking.
AJ and Kevin both looked at each other.
"Hey, Nick! This is serious! Stop hurlin and get over here so we can get help and get your Tylenol!" Kevin shouted to him.
Nick limped back and grabbed onto AJ's shoulder for support. After about two hours of walking, eventually they slowed down a lot. It was past 5 am and they needed sleep, food, and help. As well as somewhere to go.
After a little while longer of Nick's whining they stopped in front of something blocking their path.
It was huge and black, and covered the moon. It was a cave. Really dark and gloomy.
They didn't even ask each other, but AJ started crawling up the rocks with Brian and Nick, and Kevin with Howie. When they got inside they laid down and fell to sleep huddled close to each other.
They had no way of knowing this wouldn't be good.
