wakey wakey, baitboy

The darkness seemed deeply unnatural, especially to the boys.  There's something about it, tugging at Davey's chest, deeply unsettling.  Unsettling and exciting, even if it's enough to send an anxious ripple down his spine.  Through his system.  Fitful, dreamless sleep gripping him through the night, curled closer to his siblings and parents than usual.  While it's unusual for the boy to be this clingy, it's hard to blame him. 

It also doesn't last long.  When first light breaks, he's quick to wake Tide.  There was no way he'd go exploring alone, but with his brother?  Well, trouble comes in pairs.  The two boys set out early, before anyone can stop them.  They won't be the only ones exploring it, and someone would surely come after them sooner or later. "Wakey wakey, Baitboy.  Let's see what happened." 

Half dragging Tide, the two boys make their way through the spooky environment, searching for something as brilliant (or as sinister) as they are.
