The further in, the goo seemed to be more and more frequent. It wasn't thin little trails anymore, but large puddles and thick ropes of it, strewn all about. The corn was crushed in areas, creating a path as though something big had gone through it. "I just wanna know where it's coming from.." Antonio heard one of the rookies murmur. They all stepped around, having to step in it at times. A fine, filmy sheen had covered some of these trails that had been there longer, containing the smell it seemed, but stepping on those that were encased released the awful scent.
Finally they found themselves in a little clearing. Nearby, there was a lake, sparkling in the moonlight and a forest beside it. Nothing had attacked them yet, thank god.. But there was a cave nearby, hidden by the trees. From inside, Antonio swore he'd heard the screaming of a woman. The trails of slime were prominent, leading into the cave. "For fucks sake.. Why can't at least one of these weird incidents lead to something less creepy?" One of the rookies said. It was Tyson's partner and she didn't really take the whole idea of aliens as being intriguing as Tyson did.
"No use complaining.. Lets just get this over with and find that woman." Antonio forged on ahead, uncertain, but they couldn't just back out and leave that woman to whatever fate she had been drug to.
The cave was humid inside and the slime dripped from the ceiling further in. One could occasionally hear strange noises, but there was no telling what it was. Inhuman tones and screeches came from inside, sounding faintly like speech that they couldn't decipher. It was hard to hear though and Antonio found himself hoping it was some kind of animal or the wind.. But it really didn't sound like the wind. Maybe an animal could make such noises, but what kind of animal would that be and how would an animal learn to make their screeches sound like a foreign language?
