in an almost pitiful turn of events, nike had found her way out of thrushmumble’s den, and using the knowledge she gained during cherrystar’s tour of the caves, into what she believed to be a cave to the outside. truth be told, she wasn’t a very good navigator. the white tabby had spent almost an hour wandering in the darkness, assuring herself that she knew where she was. did she? no, but she was too much of an optimist to admit it. eventually, she’d end up somewhere, and then she’d learn her way. right? with a smile planted to her face, nik turned the corner, walking straight into the sixth dead end in a row. the tunnel walls seemed to close behind her, forcing her to keep moving forwards into yet another dead-end. she was starting to feel frustration creep up her back. in these situations, nike always did one thing. she’d sit down, which she did, and yell. to who in particular didn’t matter. it was just a yell. ”hello hello?!” came her thought-out yell, “anybody out there? i’ve found myself lost and a bit frustrated about it. so, if anyone would like to talk to get my mind off of this situation, it would be most appreciated!”[/color]
