Chapter 5
     
    The Tunnel
     
    Bryson rushed along, grasping his torch, and
joined Mitchell and Mortimer leading the men into the depths of the
tunnel, going below the hill, as the cave descended towards
somewhere, nobody there could distinguish.
    What could be at the end of such a cave?
Bryson and, as far as he saw, nobody else had heard of caves like
it. Its walls looked cut by something with a powerful force, and
they regularly examined it expecting to see marks from some form of
digging machine.
    When it changed direction and went from one
direction to another they examined its corners trying to see how it
had been formed, and what natural occurrence could cause it.
    They had started off trying to find a good
location to spend the night, and then the further away from the
dangers outside they got the happier they were, and the more they
explored it the more they wanted to see and discover what was
there.
    Bryson confusedly looked ahead for anything
dangerous to leap out at them. It was surprising now that they had
the encounter outside that they left it open and that anything
could appear.
    Their reactions created a less tense
atmosphere amongst them, making Bryson wonder what they were all
thinking! What were their true feelings now? He was sure he and
Mortimer had different thoughts of things after their past
experiences.
    It was phenomenal, they had been surely
nearly killed and they never had a clue by what! What was its
motivation? Was it animal motivations? Did it intend to consume
them or kill a danger to it?
    Should they leave it there, hidden away at
the place, or have the police informed? How would they handle
something that was supernatural? He could not decide the outcome of
it!
    Mitchell was not stupid and he did not push
things too far, if he could help it.
    One time the light shifted downwards
creating a bright circle of light where Bryon could closely examine
the dirt and saw the debris from the walls and picked some pieces
up and examined it, examining its cut edges, considering what had
occurred there.
    It reminded Bryson of a shaft that had been
built for some work to take place. But when he thought of it he did
not have a clue what it was. What was a tunnel doing out there? Why
had they gone to such lengths to construct it? What hidden motive
had been behind it?
    They had to have built it for logical
reasons, as all the constructions were, which he could recall. They
would only build it for their needs!
    “ Perhaps it ’s part of a mine for
something, ” Merton concluded, trying to push things further long, trying
to recollect something such as it.
    “ What happened to all the roads and
constructions that they would ’ ve had? ” Mortimer replied.
    “ How could they have built everything
with all those trees being there? ” Mitchell answered. “ There ’ d be gaps leading through. Nobody would get
anything through all that! Unless it was built a long time ago ...
And it all grew over it! ”
    “ Perhaps it ’s another part of the
castle, ” Merton spoke, trying to recollect something; maybe from his
memories.
    “ You ’ re psychic
researchers? ” Mitchell replied, looking alert, and considering something
that had been bothering him. “ As well as scientists! What ’ re your thoughts of all that
stuff outside ...? ”
    “ It is pretty hard to
tell, ” he
replied, “ especially at this stage ... Things are so
muddled, and we ’ ve so little ... We ’ re not even sure that castle exists!
Or is in rubble ... ”
    “ I ’ ve never seen anything like that ! Something has to be behind it!
And I ’ m
sure it ’ s
not all from this world whatever it is! ”
    “ I ’ m pretty sure of that. It seems in an
entirely different environment, than it was designed
for. ”
    “ As though in confusion ... Of what
was occurring around it! ”
    “ We may
be able to find something someday to defend ourselves against
it!”
    Mitchell
grunted, and looked down at his
