Hunter's POV
I was groaning in pain as I was waking up from a long dream, and then I couldn't stop myself from falling back to sleep again. I was dreaming about my wife, and I was chasing her on the shore during our honeymoon on the beautiful beach of Magnolia, and she was laughing as she ran barefoot. I hate that no matter how much I want to have her in my arms, I can't catch her, and I wonder if we are now on our second honeymoon since I promise Madeline that I am going to take her to her favorite place once I got ho.
I beca disoriented if where am I, and suddenly got worried when I rembered I am still at the mining site. I quickly opened my eyes, but all I can see is total darkness. And I can feel the excruciating pain in my entire body, and there is throbbing in my head. And then, I felt horrified when I rember there was a loud explosion, and I suddenly rember the screams of my n, and then the whole place turned so quiet. I tried to move my body, and I grunted in pain as I realized there is sothing on top of and I am groping my hand, and I could hardly move because sothing is blocking my way. I rembered my phone in my pocket, and I moaned in pain as I try to pull out my phone from my pocket.
I felt so happy to hold my iPhone, and I bring it closer to my face, and I know I don't have any signal in this place, especially now that the earth covers , and it feels like soone tried to bury my body alive. I dragged my feet as I slowly sat up on the hard ground, and I can feel sothing dripping on my face, and I realized I have so cut on my head because I can taste the iron taste of my blood on my mouth. I opened the passcode of my iPhone, and I smiled when I saw the beautiful face of my wife when I unlocked my phone. I felt so relieved that at last, I can now see my surroundings, and I realized Calixto was right, and I suddenly rembered my assistant, and I can't stop the rapid beating of my heart as I think the worst thing that could happen to him.
I felt horrified when I looked around, and I can see a big rock not so far from , and it made realized I am still lucky that it didn't fall into my body, or else Madeline is now a widow. And I was hoping that there would be no more explosions since I don't know how I will leave this place, and I rember I promised my wife to have dinner with her in our house with my mom and Lily. And I missed having family dinner. And I can tell Maddie is now in our mansion waiting for , and I hate to think that I will make her worry again. I need to get out of this place because I have to co ho for my sweet, beautiful wife.
"Calixto! Cal! Hello! Anyone out there?" I shouted, but no one answered , and I felt terrified if they all die during the explosion, especially Cal." And no matter how I tried to be calm, I couldn't stop myself from worrying about them, and most of all, I know the weather before getting inside. It was raining hard outside. I can tell no one will rescue us with that kind of weather because it could be dangerous for the rescuer as well.
I felt so devastated when I heard the beeping sound of my phone because watching my wife's picture is the only thing that keeps going after hours of sitting in the sa position without knowing if I can co out alive from this tunnel, and I am hoping everyone is alive. I need to off my phone, so I can save so battery when I needed it. At least I still have twenty percent of my battery, and the mont I turned off my cellphone, blackness enveloped once again. I tried to move away from where I am, but my right leg is pressed between two gigantic chunks of rocks. And I need soone's help before I can move them away, and I can tell my right foot is not damage since I don't feel too much pain. I can't take it away, and it made hard to move.
Due to my frustration, I didn't realize I drifted to sleep, and when I woke up, I no longer open my eyes since I still can't see anything. And suddenly, I want to find Cal since he was bringing his backpack with him, and now I realized he was right when he told it is better to be ready at all tis, and I felt such a fool for laughing at him. I just felt glad I am wearing complete PPE gear, or else I could have damaged my head worse if I didn't wear any helt. And I know I fainted when a rock hit my head, and I am just hoping I didn't have any blood clots. And I wish the throbbing that I felt on my head is only because of so lacerations or cuts but nothing serious.
I wake up, and I know it was already twenty-four hours after the incident, more or less. I am starving and felt so thirsty, and I can tell I am going to die since I don't have water. I need to eat my shirt since I felt so hungry, but eating it without water would be hard. I wished I could hear any sound that will tell soone is alive. I am losing hope, but every ti I felt like giving up, I can see the image of my wife on my head calling my na, and I am just happy that at least before I die, I was able to make up with Madeline. And We were given the last chance to be together, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I rember our last night together.
I am aware I only have forty-eight hours to live if I can't drink water, I will die. And given my situation, I know I will no longer survive since I don't have anything except my phone, which is now so low in battery because I can't stop myself from missing my wife, and I can't contain my urge to watch and touch her beautiful face on the screen.
"Ihate that I am going to leave you, Madeline. I am sorry if I left you without saying goodbye, and without telling you how much I miss you. I wish I can see you one last ti before I take my last breath so that you will know how much I long to grow old with you and watch our children grow, and I hope there is a way I can tell you how much I love and I don't want to leave you, my sweet wife." I talked to her again while watching her face on my cellphone, and now my battery is almost empty. I wished I called her before I get inside the mine. And right now, all I have are regrets since I didn't call her, and I was such an idiot.
I want to take aside all my worries as I tried my best to think of all the beautiful things I did with Madeline, but I only ended up crying and sobbing. And I realized why it has to transpire now that we are back together, for once I want to give my wife complete happiness, and I couldn't imagine what would be her reaction the mont she will learn I am among the people who are trapped inside the mining ground.
I did everything I can to pull out my right leg, and I laugh like a lunatic when I suddenly rember to remove my shoe on my right foot. I felt so relieved that at last, I tugged my right leg closer to , and it felt so numb, but at least I can now make another position in sitting and lying on the hard ground, for the first ti after so many hours of being trapped I was able to stand up on my feet. Still, I hold on to the wall of the tunnel because I felt my entire world is spinning, maybe because I haven't eaten and drink anything.
I sat back on the ground, and I can feel my body is shivering, and I know I need to fight to survive for my wife. Still, no matter how wealthy I am, I know this ti my money can't do anything because it would never be easy for the rescuer to locate our location unless I can find a way to communicate to the outer world to let them know I am still alive that is why I need to get out from here and look for anything I can use to give them signal that I am waiting for them to rescue , but since I don't have anything to light my way I can't see anything.
"Hunter!!!!" My tears fall on my cheeks the mont I heard Cal's voice echoed the entire place as he called my na, and I was afraid I was only hallucinating.
"Hunter!!!! Hellooooo, anyone?" I heard his voice again.
"Cal! I am here." I shouted back, and I felt so happy that at least Calixto found , and he is here to give hope. And I realized I still have the chance to see Madeline again. My heart is overwheld with too much happiness when I realized my assistant, best friend, father, and sotis my boss, Calixto Morgan, is still alive.
