Randy and Sarah (Part 1)

"Over here, quickly." Randy shouted as he ran across the beach.

"Are you sure?" Sarah puffed as she ran.

"I’m pretty sure." He responded.

Randy and Sarah ran out of the rain into the cliffs caves. They looked around and Randy happened to notice some dry drift wood at the entrance of the cave. Being the handy wild kid that he was, he grabbed the wood and started a little fire. The little fire lit up the cave.

Sarah looked out of the cave and watched the rain fall upon the beach. The tide waters rolled up the sand and back down. From the stand point Sarah could see the whole bay. Shaped like a crescent moon, the bays beach stretched from the cliffs to the rocky point at the end of the cove. The rain pored on steadily and calmly without any lightning or thunder.

It all looked so romantic in the eyes of Sarah. Just reaching her 15th birthday she felt a soothing power flow through her. She felt happy and warm like she wanted to be there at that time forever with Randy at her side taking care of her. She wanted to be with him and didn’t know why.

The 15 year old boy who had lived by himself for most of his life worked hard at everything he did. After all those years by himself the daily life felt heavy and sad. But when ever he was with Sarah he felt life change. With Sarah around he became happy and care free.

Randy, at that moment in time, was watching the shadows dance across the cave walls. The walls were smooth with a rugged look about them. The cave was no bigger than a small room but was warm with an arched roof. At one end of the room there was a tunnel that looked adventurous and filled full of mystery.

"Hey Randy," Sarah, almost thinking out loud, said. You could tell she was full of thought. But as she talked the words just came out, driven by what seemed to be pure emotion. Being a growing woman she was experiencing these new emotions and didn’t know what to do about them.

"What is it Sarah?" Randy said responding to her.

She was thinking hard trying to think of something to say. After a moment of silence, "Tag, your it!" She laughed as she tapped Randy on the back.

Randy jumped up and started chasing Sarah around the fire. They laughed and giggled as they jumped around the cave. Sarah, still running from Randy, decided to run down the tunnel on the other end of the cave. Not really fully noticing it they ran about 20 feet through the dark tunnel. When they reached the end of the tunnel they stopped suddenly.

There jaws dropped and there eyes widened as they stared ahead at a room that sparkled with gleaming glory. In the walls were bits and chunks of diamonds, sparkling about and lighting up the room. There were several holes in the ceiling. Each hole had water flowing out of it. From some holes the water ran down the walls, crossing over the diamonds. The holes more towards the center of the room had water dropping like a waterfall into a large stream. The stream traveled in a circle around the center of the cave. A small bridge made out of wood allowed passage over the stream.

The two kids were not staring at the holes in the ceiling or the diamonds on the walls but directly in the center of the room.
