going.”
    “Clint, move it,” she said and pushed him forward. They were moving faster now, her heart racing at what one of the team members had said.
    Something’s in the tunnel?
    When they finally went into the cavern Clint fell forward, and Ruby fell in after him. She landed on her hands and knees. The rest of the team came falling into the tunnel, as well, their fear saturating the air. She stood, faced the cavern opening, and waited to see if anything would come out.
    But the weird part of it all, the fact she couldn’t understand, was that she felt no fear. What she did feel was anticipation, the blood rushing through her veins, and the power surging through her. It was this weird sensation, one she’d never felt, but then again she’d never been in a situation like this before.
    “Get a light,” she shouted out, and a moment later light from one of the massive lamps filled the room. She looked around, not seeing anything but a lot of scared-as-shit team members. “What in the hell was it?” she asked, feeling her muscles tighten. Her heart beat faster, and she felt this tingling all over.
    “Something was in the tunnel behind me, and it was huge,” one of the guys said, and Ruby looked at him. He looked scared, his eyes wide and his hands shaking.
    “I didn’t sign up for this,” another man said.
    “Me either.”
    “This is too fucking crazy.”
    Everyone started voicing their opinion on the matter, and she knew she needed to get this under control before things went from bad to fucking insane.
    “Let’s just calm down,” she said, holding her hands up, hoping to calm everyone. “Marshall, are you sure you felt something? Are you sure it couldn’t have been something else?”
    Marshall shook his head. “It was big, like bigger than me, Ruby.” His voice was shaking. “It had fur, and I swear to fuck I felt a claw lightly run down my leg.” He looked at his leg then, as if he just remembered. He twisted around so she could see the small tear in his pant leg. Ruby didn’t mention it could have happened on a shard of ice, or even a piece of the rock wall.
    “No, I can’t do this,” Marshall said. “I can’t stay here another minute.”
    “Marshall, please calm down. Everything will be okay.” She tried to calm things down. “Clint, explain to them that everything will be okay.”
    Clint didn’t speak for long moments, but then he removed his glasses and cleaned them off. “Anyone who wants to leave can. You aren’t being forced to stay here. You can make camp outside of the mountain, and wait for us to finish our exploration.”
    She stared in shock at Clint. “This isn’t about that right now.”
    “It is what it is, Ruby.” Clint put his glasses on.
    “How are you not concerned about what Marshall is saying?”
    Clint shrugged. “We don’t know anything right now. Marshall probably brushed up against the rock wall.”
    “Clint, I think I know the difference between a creature and a fucking wall,” Marshall said, his voice raised, his fear clear.
    “Everyone just calm down,” she said again. Ruby looked around the cavern and saw there were two separate entrances other than the one they just came in through. But just as she was about to say something, trying to calm Marshall and the rest of the team that was on edge, a low growl echoed off the icy cavern walls. Everyone froze. Ruby didn’t breathe, and she swore her heart was going to jump through her chest.
    “What the fuck was that?” one of the guys said, but no one responded right away.
    They all stood there, turning around in circles, looking in the cavern, and maybe expecting whatever had made that sound to come bursting through the walls.
    “What in the hell kind of creature makes that noise?” another team member asked.
    “How in the hell can anything survive in this mountain, in this fucking area?” another asked.
    “Shh,” Clint said, his annoyance clear. “You all knew what you were getting
