Braylon: Follow me, I will show you the way. (heads towards the cave)

Araceli: (dragging her) Okay, Braylon. Have you been here before?

Braylon: Yeah, I have been here tons of times.

Braylon: I just never come at night.

Araceli: (gets louder) Never at night!

Braylon: Don't freak out. It should be the same ,just darker. If it can be darker in the cave...

Araceli: (yells) Should be the same, huh?

Braylon: Yes, now come on!

( Araceli follows behind Braylon)

Braylon: Let's go this way.

Araceli: Did you hear that, Bray?

Braylon: We may or may not have taken a wrong turn…

Araceli: What do you mean a wrong turn?

Braylon: Chill out ,girl. I'm sure there are a lot of ways out of here.

Araceli: Yeah but, it is pitch black and my hands are shaking because my sugar is dropping.

Braylon: Crap. That sucks. It's ok. We'll get you food.

Ghost: Hello bray, how is your dad? (ghost appears from the dark) (only bray can see)

Bray: Oh my Goodness, who said that?

Araceli: What? I didn't say anything about your dad. My sugar is dropping and that's what i was talking about.
