Gregor and the Oreo Cookie: Prologue.
A/N: Here's the prologue for the most awesome Underland fanfic ever! (Note: The golden is referring to solid gold, not a white colored Oreo.) (Note 2:Italicized font is for thoughts)
Disclaimer: Oreo belongs to Kraft Foods, I am just using it to further increase the awesomeness of the story. The Underland Chronicles belongs to Suzanne Collins. Plot belongs to me. No further disclaimers, on with the story!
There it was. Right in front of him on an overly fancy pedestal, an Oreo Cookie. Not just any Oreo Cookie though, it was a Golden Oreo Cookie. He couldn't resist it, he just had to have it, to eat that delicious looking cookie. Then he looked around, and noticed he was in an ball shaped cave with three exits splitting off behind him. He heard a scratching sound and turned to look. There, on the cave floor standing just a few feet away was a small rat. It made a squeaking sound then quickly ran out of one of the exits.
Distraction out of the way, he turned back towards the Oreo cookie. He quickly snatched it up and started walking out of the cave towards the exits. Then he thought Which way do I go though? I don't remember coming here! He started to panic, but then, he heard a clicking sound. Just a short, six clicks and then it stopped. He waited for it again, but he didn't hear it again. Had he just imagined it he thought to himself? No, there it is again! It didn't stop this time though, it kept clicking and clicking, growing louder. It's coming closer to me. Just then, a large red ant emerged from the tunnel on the right, only a few feet away from where he had frozen just a minute before.
It opened it's pincers and let out a long hiss. It started advancing towards him at a low steady pace. He looked towards the tunnels in an effort to escape, the tunnel which the Enormous ant had come through wasn't an option. Neither was the middle tunnel, that left the tunnel closest to him. Without a second thought he quickly ran down the tunnel away from the Ant.
He ran down the tunnel as fast as he could, he could hear the clicking behind him slowly getting quieter. After 10 minutes of running the tunnel split into three different sections, one on the right, one on the left and one straight ahead following the main course of the tunnel. On the right, another of the giant ants was approaching from. He skidded to a halt as he noticed another three ants coming from the tunnel straight ahead. He heard the clicking of the ant behind him getting closer; the four in front of him started to close in, blocking his escape routes. Waiting until they had gotten close, he made a desperate leap over them and charged towards the tunnel off to the left; almost dropping the precious Golden Oreo in the process. The tunnel continued on for a short ways, opening up onto a large cavern. He slowed down as he exited the tunnel and came into the cavern, not hearing any clicking sounds from the ants he stopped to catch his breath. The Cavern was massive, at least a few thousand feet long and wide he guessed. Then, he heard the clicking sound again, this time it was right on top of him. The ants burst out of the tunnel behind them. There were 20 of the big ants now, and they were mad. He started to run, but tripped on a large rock he hadn't noticed. He desperately hopped to his feet and ran away from the ants that were almost biting him with their large pincers. This cavern is just so gigantic he thought to himself as he started to look for an exit. There, a few hundred feet away from him, he saw an exit. Putting on a burst of speed to escape the ants he ran as fast as he could towards the exit. He felt the ground shake slightly, confused he slowed down and looked behind him at the ants. They were still following him but they were moving slower now. He looked at the ground and noticed it had cracked, a huge fracture in the whole area around him. The ground rumbled again, this time the whole cavern floor shattered and he started plummeting towards another cavern floor covered with sharp stalagmites.
"Ares!" He called desperately, but Ares wasn't there to save him this time.
A/N: Er, right. So this is the start of a story I'm planning on writing. Started it at 1AM...So the results might be pretty terrible, anyway press that nice review button and tell me what you think.
