Thank you to everyone who has given me feedback, you all are amazing!
Also, sorry this chapter is so short. I just felt that it was better to let all the action sink in.

Kiara's POV
"Hey guys! Come check this out!" Josh yelled from one end of the cave. Kiara stopped examining her pickaxe, which had been damaged when she was mining some iron, which they had a small abundance of. Kiara hurried over, heading for Josh.
"What's up…?" Kiara's voice faded off. "Oh my god." A dark body lay on the ground, surrounded by a pool of blood. A wide fence post lay across their chest, pinning them to the ground. Hazel and Fred hurried over. Hazel noticed the bodies, and she took a step back.
"No, no no no no." Hazel started to breath rapidly, putting her hand over her mouth. Kiara noticed 3 more bodies nearby, all in the same state. Fred walked over to one of them, feeling their neck. He turned back, eyes stone cold.
"They aren't dead." One of the far bodies sputtered, and Kiara hurried over.
"Hey, can you hear me?" She asked softly, leaning in close. "Hey, stay with me." Kiara heard Hazel come beside her, Josh and Fred close behind. The body coughed again, and a single word escaped their throat.
"Run." Iron jaws clamped around Kiara's leg, causing her to fall to the ground. Hazel screamed, falling beside her. Kiara blindly swung her sword, connecting woth whatever haad here.
The grip on her leg softened, and Kiara twisted her body, coming face-to-face with a dead spider. But this was no normal spider. This spider was a grotesque shade of brown, and it was about as big as a cow. Josh yelled, his sword clattering to the ground. Kiara held her hand to her wound, feeling the blood pumping out.
Oh god, please no.She thought to herself, trying not to fall into unconsciousness. Kiara's vision darkened, and she pulled herself over to Hazel.
"Thank you." She croaked weakly, pulling Hazels limp body into her arms. Hazel, Josh and Fred had saved her life, but there was nothing they could do now. Hazel lay on her back, welcoming death. Tears streamed down her face when she thought of her family, back in the real world. Would she ever see them again? Kiara grabbed Hazels hand, closed her eyes, and embraced death.
