The Underworld
1
Jayden
Faya, what nonsense are you talking?
Jayden
It's the ice age, you can't go above ground
Faya
Jayden, I want to see what it's like
Faya
Don't you want to see what the real world is like
Faya
Not these stupid artificial things they have down here that represents them
Faya
Things are getting bad down here
Faya
Resources are running out.
Faya
They've even started rationing food now
Jayden
You think it's any better up there?
Jayden
They say nothing can survive up there
Faya
How do they know there is nothing up there?
Faya
They could be lying to us
Faya
I want to see it myself
Jayden
But you can't just go up there
Jayden
There are laws and penalties if they catch you trying to
Jayden
Plenty people tried and we never saw them after that
Faya
Jayden. I'm going with or without you
Faya
You're my best friend and I want you to come
Faya
But if you don't want to, I'm going inspite of the consequences
2
Jayden
I'm not letting you
Faya
You're not letting me?
Faya
Jayden you can't stop me, I'm going
Jayden
Well then I'll have to go
Jayden
I can't leave you to go alone
She squealed and dived on him hugging him tight
Faya
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Faya
I know you won't regret going
Jayden
Hope we don't get caught
Faya
I didn't just decide this on the spur of the moment
Faya
I did some research and looking around
Faya
I just need to get a few more supplies
She starts to explain her plan
Pulled out a map and showed him
Jayden listened and watched her
She was his best friend but to him she was more
He loved her. Not as best friends, more.
Faya was everything he wanted, bubbly, outgoing, adventurous. She didn't let anything stop her
But she didn't know how he felt
He was afraid if he told her it would change things between them
Jayden didn't want to lose her

They were crouched behind a building
Infact every day was night
There was no sunlight just, certain hours of the day with artificial light that barely chased away the shadows.
It always looked gloomy and creepy
More reason to go to the surface and see what their world should have been like
To actually feel the heat of the sun and natural light
Faya looked over at Jayden and gave him a nod for them to continue going
But a sound came from behind Jayden and Penny appeared
Faya
Penny what are you doing here?!
Penny was all geared up for a trip. Looking like she was going to some winter sport
Faya looked at Jayden knowing she didn't tell Penny what they were going to do
Jayden
I couldn't help it. She prised it out of me
Penny
I just knew something was up and I wasn't going to be left behind
Penny
How could you not tell me?
Penny
I can't survive one day without you guys here
Penny was okay but she took everything as a joke and she had phobias
Faya
But you hate everything
Penny hated grass, sand, trees, anything with texture. She was afraid of all living things except humans
Penny
I don't hate you guys
Penny
Penny winked. It'll work out.
Penny
I have my trusty gloves
She held up her hands, wiggling her fingers, showing black gloves
