Lei Fang and the Quicksand Cave (second part added)
Posted: Tue Jan 19, 2016 3:40 am
Hello again! After writing that short story for my Lei Fang In Quicksand request by RBX2, my muse just wouldn't quit bugging me... So, here's a prequel of sorts, showing how Lei Fang came across the mud pit in the first place...
Lei Fang and the Quicksand Cave- Prequel to ‘Lei Fang In Quicksand’
By DJlurker
“AAAAAAAAHHH!! Lei Fang! Achtung! HELP!! HYAKKU!!”
A panicked voice echoed throughout the underground cavern. Hitomi mixing languages together was *never* a good thing, as Lei Fang had learned. She immediately turned around and ran back up the way she came…
It had been Hitomi, the high-spirited German karateka, who had happened upon the cave while wandering through the woods not far from Lei Fang’s dormitory. Thankfully she knew better than to try to explore it herself, and had convinced (read: pestered) her friend and sparring partner to go spelunking along with her.
The two of them had come across a split in the path, and decided they would each take a different path- Hitomi to the left, Lei Fang to the right- and agreed to yell if the other found something interesting. But what the German girl had found was apparently more ‘dangerous’ then ‘interesting’…
Lei Fang nearly dropped her flashlight as she skidded to a halt at where the cavern split, before turning around and running down the left path, Hitomi’s screams still echoing through the tunnel… The Tai Chi Quan student’s mind racing with possibilities as to what Hitomi had gotten herself into…
She saw a dull light further down the tunnel, too reddish to be given off by Hitomi’s own flashlight. Rounding a bend, she suddenly found herself at the opening of a large, natural underground chamber, composed mostly of orange-brown rock. The source of the dull light was a small river of magma at the far end of the cave. And about 4-5 yards in front of the lava flow was…
“Hitomi!!” The light brown-haired German was buried up to her waist in the cave floor, which looked deceptively solid… Her flashlight was only a few feet away, but it seemed to be laying on solid ground, which meant Hitomi herself must have been relatively close to the edge…
“Lei Fang!!” the karateka cried when she made eye contact. “It’s quicksand!! HELP ME!!!”
“Hang on! I’m coming!” The Chinese woman began to make her way down to her friend, only to slip on the smooth floor, falling on her butt before sliding down, trying futilely to dig her heels into the ground to stop herself… Her legs ended up plunging into the mud right in front of Hitomi, her flashlight tumbling down and into the quicksand, its weight quickly dragging it under…
“Oh nooooooo!!” Hitomi squealed in despair. “Now you’re stuck, too! We’re doomed! Doomed to disappear in the quicksand and never be seen again…!”
“Um, Hitomi…” Lei Fang tried to cut in.
“I know, you’re sorry… but it’s *my* fault we got stuck here in the first place! Oh, why did we split up?! You could have caught me before I slid down here and this never would’ve happened…”
“*Hitomi*…”
“And what’s worse is that they’ll never find our bodies because they’ll be buried in this cave where nobody’ll think to look and-“
*CRACK!* The palm of Lei Fang’s hand struck her friend squarely in the nose, not hard enough to break it, but it definitely registered.
“OWW!” cried the karateka as she put her hands over her face. “What’d you do that for?!”
“To get you to *calm down*,” Lei Fang answered firmly. “First of all, yes my legs are stuck, but my butt’s still on solid ground- I’m right at the edge. Second, if you’d just stop and take a breath, you’d realize you’re not sinking anymore!”
“Huh? I’m not…?” Hitomi looked down, and saw that her bosom was pressing into the mud, but she indeed was not descending any further. “*Oh!* I guess you’re right…” She started giggling in relief. “Wow, I guess I’m an idiot, huh?”
Lei Fang rolled her eyes. “Sometimes you are, but at least your heart’s usually in the right place. Anyway, don’t start trying to push yourself out with your arms, you’ll just get them stuck, and we don’t want that…”
“I know that!” Hitomi shot back, as she held her arms out straight. “I’m not *that* stupid!” Taking a breath to calm herself, she continued, “But *you’ve* got a plan for getting us out, right?”
The Chinese college student bit her lip. “Well, first, I need to get myself out…” Bracing her hands behind her, she began to try and shift her weight backwards… it was slow going, as the thick mud seemed to clamp down on her trapped limbs with every movement… But her Tai Chi Quan training served her well, as she made slow, methodical movements, gradually pulling her legs free…
Then, with a sudden *shllupp!* they came loose, causing Lei Fang to fall on her backside from the inertia. She groaned as she pulled herself into a sitting position, wiping some of the muck off her legs. “OK, I’m out…”
“Hey, I just got an idea!” Hitomi spoke up. “Maybe you can use your legs to hook around me and pull me out that way!”
Lei Fang blinked in surprise. That actually wasn’t a bad idea… But she was going to need something to grab on for leverage. Looking around, she saw a small stalagmite protruding from the ground, only two feet away from the edge of the quicksand.
“All right, let’s give it a try…” She slid herself forward, positioning her long legs on either side of Hitomi, who tried to help guide them with her hands. Lei Fang then got a firm grip on the stalagmite with her left hand, before locking her legs around Hitomi at the ankles. “OK, here goes…!”
Once again, she started to try shifting her weight backwards, using the stalagmite as an anchor, gritting her teeth with exertion as she tried to pull her friend forward… but she didn’t seem to be making much progress.
“Hitomi!” she gasped, “Try twisting your body, loosen up the mud a bit!” The German nodded, bracing her arms on Lei Fang’s legs, before twisting her body back and forth as much as she was able…
“Lei Fang! I think it’s working!” The karateka felt herself slide down into the mud another inch. “Ack! I’m sinking again! Start pulling!” Her friend promptly set to work again, pulling herself backwards while keeping her long legs tightly wrapped around Hitomi… This time, she got results, as Hitomi’s stomach slowly emerged from the quicksand. “It’s working! It’s working!” Hitomi cried excitedly, twisting her hips to loosen the mud more…
Suddenly, with a loud *ssshh-ggloop!” the quicksand’s suction was broken as the German girl’s hips finally pulled free, followed by her legs. Soon, Hitomi was laying completely on solid ground. “I’m out!! Yahoo!! You did it, Lei Fang!”
Lei Fang promptly collapsed, her chest heaving as her legs’ death grip on her friend finally came undone, allowing Hitomi to crawl up next to her. The college student turned her head to look at her companion’s smiling face. “That was a close call, huh?”
“Yeah,” gasped Lei Fang, “it sure was… Hahhh…” Nothing else was said for a while, as the two ladies recovered from their harrowing experience with the cavern quicksand… Eventually, Hitomi got up on her hands and knees, crawling over and retrieving her flashlight.
“Looks like it’s up to me light our way outta here, since your flashlight went bye-bye in the quicksand…” A shiver of fear passed through Hitomi as she contemplated the fate that nearly befell her…
Lei Fang pulled herself back up into a sitting position. “Yeah, that’s gonna cost a pretty penny to replace… but better a flashlight than us.”
“I one-hundred percent agree with you, Lei Fang,” Hitomi nodded. “But, what are we gonna tell your college classmates when we get back? They’ll probably laugh at us, being all dirty like this…”
“Don’t see why we can’t just tell them the truth,” muttered Lei Fang as she slowly stood up. “And as far as being dirty, I think there’s a river not too far from the cave entrance, so we can wash off a little bit there…”
“OK, then! Let’s get outta this deathtrap!” Hitomi grabbed her friend’s arm in her left hand, carrying her flashlight in her right, pulling her along as she made her way back up the incline to the exit…
Little did Lei Fang know, she would be visiting this place again in the not-too-distant future…
