~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Carriage, at Helda's Destination)~~~
~~~(Ti: 9:42 PM)~~~
This entire day has been spent mostly in silence, and now we're at Helda's destination finally. We exit the carriage, and we follow behind Helda and limora on a rarely traveled path. "Do exactly as I say. It's been many decades since I've used this entrance, and it's one of the oldest ones. It can get a little unstable." That doesn't sound good.
How can a wall this big get a little unstable and still be standing here? That doesn't really make sense. Sally bumps my arm with her elbow and points to an opening in the wall up ahead. It's just big enough to fit people, but we'll have to crawl on our bellies to get through. "It's going to be a tight fit. Make sure you're ready." This isn't good. Hailey is mildly claustrophobic.
My eyes turn to her, and I can see she's already extrely nervous. My approach doesn't go unnoticed by her, and she stiffens once I reach her. I place my hand in the middle of her back, and he jumps a little. After a second, she relaxes. "Do you think you can handle this?" She's a very strong woman and is capable of taking care of herself.
Claustrophobia isn't sothing to take lightly, and it's still emotionally stressful when in mild cases. "I'll be fine, Cera... The sooner we get a move on, the sooner I'll get through that stupid hole..." She steels her resolve and rolls her neck in an attempt to loosen up. Helda turns towards us and looks at Hailey. Her face is the sa it always looks.
She moves towards us, and she folds her arms. "The trip through on our stomachs will take about 30 minutes, longer if we have to hold up for you." My concerns for Hailey double imdiately hearing that. Hailey moves closer to on instinct, hearing the news about how long this will take. Sally moves up behind Hailey and wraps her in a hug.
My attention turns to the small hole, and I can't help but gulp myself. That isn't sothing I want to get stuck in. "Let's do this. Hailey, you'll be in front of . That way, if there is any trouble, I can help you." She nods her head at my plan, and Helda moves towards the hole. She gets on her belly and starts to crawl inside. limora follow behind her.
Sally follows behind limora, and Jasmine follows behind Sally. As soon as Jasmine's feet disappear, Hailey gets on her stomach and crawls in, moving forward. I follow her in, and I can already hear her breathing heaving. "Oh, God... Oh, God... Oh, God..." She's not in the place she needs to be ntally, and I can't help her get there right now.

~~~(Ti: 9:58 PM)~~~
My sense of ti is being lost, and I can't seem to clear my head of terrible thoughts. It's getting harder and harder to breathe. There is enough room for two people to stack on top of each other while on their stomachs. That's the only give there is this hell. "There is going to be a fork ahead. Make sure you take the one on the left!" Helda's voice cos from the front.
I can barely hear her, and my panic causes to forget what she said. "Did you hear what she said, Hailey?" Cera's voice is soft and full of a caring tone. My words can't co out. I'm trying my best not to scream... "She said to take the turn on the left at the fork. Repeat what I just said." He's babying , but I can't really complain. I need it right now.
His hand reaches up, and I feel it on my calf, and my panic slightly subsides. "She said to take the turn on the left..." He remains silent and lets go of my calf. "Could you tell a story, Cera... Sothing to help distract my mind..." I can't keep thinking of being crushed and buried alive out of my head, and I need sothing else to think about.
I'm going to go insane without a distraction. "Rember when we were kids, and you'd always try to take my Legos... You never liked them. You just wanted them cause I had them..." I do rember, and I'm not the only one that pulled crap like that. Cera was smart enough never to get caught. "Well... I'm the one that destroyed your plastic playhouse..." My mories of that day flood .
Mom and dad were so mad at . They thought I was the one that broke it. They said all the evidence pointed towards . I always knew it was Cera, and to be fair, he was getting back at for what I did. "Mom and Dad were so mad, and I felt bad that you got yelled at so much... That's why I saved up whatever change I could find and bought that doll for you..." That's a good mory.
He starts to chuckle, and I don't know why, and he takes a breath. "In truth, I didn't save up any money... I found it in the garbage at our school... Figured I could use it to make you happier and save the hard-earned change I saved." I stop in my tracks, and I try to kick him. He's using his palm to block my kicks.

~~~(Ti: 10:03 PM)~~~
She grunts out and tries to kick harder each and every ti. "I can't believe you!! I slept with that doll every day!! I had that thing in my mouth and arms!! You gave trash and let play with it knowing full well what it was!!!" Her anger echoes through the hole, and Jasmine makes sure that we stay on course.
My laughter causes her to get angrier. "Keep moving, Hailey... You want to get out of here, right?" She stops kicking and starts crawling. My little idea has worked, and I'll be the first to say it was all too easy. I didn't really give her a doll out of the garbage. I'm only saying this now to get her mind off the fact we're crawling through a narrow hole in a massive wall.
She cusses out and starts to question all the other nice things that I did to her. I'm glad that she isn't being bothered by the tight space anymore. Getting her mad seed like the easiest way to do that, and I was right. "You're such an ass!! I can't believe mom and dad believed everything you say!!" The bitterness is starting to co out, but oh well.

The language coming out of Hailey's mouth can cause a virgin to lose their purity. Cera continues laughing as Hailey tries to convey how mad she is, and his laughter is on causing her to get angrier."Your boyfriend sure knows how to get on people's nerves..." limora start to speak to in a low and barely audible whisper.
Cera uses his talent at getting people mad to benefit him or the said person. It's obvious that he's doing this to get Hailey's mind off her fear. "He uses it when he finds it necessary, and this is one of those monts. You can see that, right?" While I can't see her face, I can guess what she's looking like right now.
She releases a sigh and leaves the conversation at that. Hailey talks and cusses all the way to the end of the small tunnel, and we exit one by one, and I look at the dark forest ahead of us. Illuminated by moonlight, and for the first ti in my life. I'm seeing the Elven Kingdom, and echoes of pain and sorrow roar through .
