A loud splash echoed out from the rear of the cavern, subtly ringing out with the dull roar of groans and cries from the wounded children. Among them were the wails of Naomi as Lucia rapidly approached and offered her comfort. [color=hotpink]"I-it h-hurts!"[/color] she babbled, rocking back and forth slightly with pain. However as the kind girls words distracted her from the agony, she began to calm down, but only slightly. Tears still ran down Naomi's flustered cheeks, rosy from the cold. [color=hotpink]"A-alright..."[/color] she mumbled between stifled grunts as Lucia asked her to put her leg in the water. She hesitated, straining to lift her leg before inching it into the cold pond. [color=hotpink]"Ow!"[/color] she shouted, recoiling from the sting of the water hitting her wound. A tinge of red stained the ponds surface. Wiping tears away, and pushing her hair away from her face, Mrs.Cassidy sat up finally after being comforted and calmed by the kind girl who had went off to help another. Hearing Mimi's voice, the rattled teacher realized this wasn't the time for mourning or sorrow. Finally she managed to pull herself to her feet. She looked down at the children who saved her and patted Mimi's head as she called out into the cavern. [color=f6989d]"C'mon. We have to s-start looking for a way o-out of here."[/color] Her voice was still shaking slightly, having not entirely recovered from the shock. [color=f6989d]"Lets go gather everyone up okay?"[/color] [color=hotpink]"Owowowow!"[/color] squealed Naomi as the pain from the cold water hitting her exposed flesh tingled through her leg. However the sensation was slowly numbed away by the frigid pond. [color=hotpink]"Th-thank you..."[/color] Uttered Naomi finally after several moments of watching Lucia wash a few shreds of fabric to be makeshift bandages. The faint patches of dirt and dust washed away, bleeding through Lucia's fingers into the water and her reflection below, mixing with the faint swirls of crimson. However as she wrung out the cloths, she noticed something strange staring back up at her. It wasn't just her reflection. It almost looked like Mr.Connors staring blankly up at her. A scream rang out near Lily and the two boys who came to assist her. It came from across the pond where Ginty and Ashton had landed. Another scream pierced the silence accompanied by the frantic splashing of water. A long fat, wart and saliva covered tongue several yards long was wrapped around Mary's ankle drawing her in, kicking and scream, toward the gaping maw of a giant bulbous amphibian. She cried out desperately, frantically clawing at the ground to no avail. Suddenly A massive splash sent water flying through the air in a geyser as a massive bulging figure emerged from the depths of the pond. The spray soaked Lucia and Namoi. As the mist cleared, they could see a hulking form looming over them. A giant slimy frog of some sort. It's eyes bulged out as it let out a bellowing croak. As it did, it's stomach enlarged, and the contents within shifted. The girls could see it through the translucent skin on the creatures belly. The lifeless gaze of the late geology teacher staring hollowly at them. [b][color=00a651]"Ribbit...Ribbit..."[/color][/b] bellowed the monster, saying the word 'ribbit' in a muddled croaky tone.
