Darkness, it was overwhelming, and the silence made it terrifying. She couldn't hear anything, the shaking had stopped for sure, but where was Quelt, why wasn't he saying anything? She went to take in a panicked breath, but something was wrong, dirt filled her mouth. Eyes shot open, but still there was darkness all around, and she couldn't move. 'What's happening?!' Limbs frantically tried to move, held in place by the dirt all around her, there was just barely enough for her to wiggle an inch.
Koi would try coughing, get the dirt away from her mouth enough so that she could at least get some air in her lungs. Cough, cough, cough. Just barely enough, but it was still air, and so she would hungrily suck it up and hold it in. Something would move from nearby, dirt being dug up. Was that Quelt, was he stuck too? No, they couldn't both be stuck! They couldn't die down here, not like this!
Using all her strength the girl began to move her body as much as possible, head going back and forth, just a few centimeters the first, the slowly she would get more room. Legs attempted to kick , to shove her body backwards. She needed to make space, needed to create some sort of tunnel to dig to the surface or at least get some away from above her so that her voice could be heard. She had to let him know she was alive, and she need to know he was too.
After what seemed like a couple of long minutes, when in reality it was just a couple seconds, the girl managed to make enough space to move freely, but unable to turn around in her little prison. Hopefully it would be good enough, she was quickly running out of air. "Quelt! Down here!" She yelled with all her strength, pausing to take a breath, pressing her head against the wall of dirt above her. "Please, answer!" She whined, tears running down her cheeks from her already water filled eyes. Whether he heard her or not, her voice would be muffled some by being buried. 'Be alright...'
She was beginning to feel light headed and dizzy.
