Heres the next part to my night adventure

I slid down the sloup and the climbed the rest of the way down with my flashlight in my mouth. I jumped down and looked around. It was not as beautiful as it was at dusk, but it was still breathtaking. I walked along the shore hurriedly. Not only did i need that necklace, but someone could be following me. Lets see, who could it be? Maybe newt forgot something in the cave to? Was it his parents? Do they secretly come here and thought i was an intruder? i don’t want the last thing I done wandering around in the dark like a dummy.

I finally came to the cave. It looked a bit more eiry the pitch darkness. Maybe I should stop going into the wilderness at night… what am I saying? I can take it! Besides, I can’t show I’m more pathetic than I already am…

I looked around with my flashlight. Rock, rock, shell, moving sand, rock, rock-

Wait, what?

I pointed my flashlight back towards the distance. Was the sand moving? It looked like it was slithering. As if an animal was crawling underneath the sand. It was, coming closer.

I kept the flashlight on it as the big slithering thing kept coming in my direction. It looked bigger. It was big. I started to back away. It was huge! Double my size. I was shocked that I wasn’t able to run away when it got under me. I suddenly felt something like teeth grab my ankle and pull me towards the ground. I yelled and grabbed on to a rock. It pulled. I used all my strength. I don't know what is happening, but I am not gonna be pulled into the ground by whatever this is.

I pulled on the rock, trying to hoist myself up onto the ground. The teeth things got draper into my ankle and I yelled. I muster all of my strength and pulled myself out of the sand, feel deep scratches down my ankle.

I painted. I heard a grown and saw whatever it was slither away in the sand, and then disappear into the sand. I exhaled and looked at my ankle. There were deep scratches,but no blood. Just red marks. It stung though.

I looked over at the rock I was holding on to. Hey, there's my necklace! I picked it up and examined it, with one word going through my head. Riley.

I don't know where he is, but when we find him, this, crest.. is gonna be really important. I ran my fingers along the silver crest, and put it back around my neck, where it belonged. I felt safe again. At leats i felt like i wouldnt get attacked again tonight. Man what a weird night. All this just to retrieve a necklace. I sighed as I watched the first glimpse of the midnight sun. I wonder what Red is doing right now. She would probably love this. I hope she was ok. I hope nothing bad has happened to her. I don't know what I would do without my best friend. But just wait, tomorrow, I may get the chance to see all my friends! Which gave me an idea. Since no one else in town is probably awake, I'll just leave my friends a note by their windows. It's a dumb plan, but being dumb has brought me this far. And not dead! I probqblu shouldmt tell them about this though. This could be our only chance to see eachother again, and besides, with someone as childish as me, no one will believe me.

I sat there for a second looking at the bright slow rising midnight sun. I saw some th ing sparkle at my foot. I looked down at my shoe.

And it was another small gitar pick thing. Thus one wasn't pearl white or leaf red, this one was yellow with a hint of green. I picked it up and held it up against the light. I took out the others from my pocket and examined them. They were different density, all somewhat same size, and all rough but smooth to the touch. How is it that I keep finding these, and in the weirdest places. I found the white one in the Burt forest… the red one after I almost got mutilated by a tree.. And this one just now when some th ing under the sand almost brought me down from earth. These weren't left by people. They didn't belong to people. We're they… scales?
