Chapter ten,
When you look into the darkness,
I opened my eye's, it was dark and cold.
That's when I remembered, I remember Jack screaming as he was taken away.
I remembered being chased, caught and dragged out of a small tunnel.
I must have lost conciseness after hitting my head on a rock.
Then I remembered those big and black eye's staring right into my soul.
I got up in pain as I realized my leg was still wounded and I was also covered in new wounds.
To my horror I saw tons of dead rotting corpses and body parts laying around.
Then I saw the unmistakable green hair.
"Jack!" I yelled as I tried to run over to him.
Unfortunately I fell right back down, my leg hurt like hell.
I glanced over at my leg and noticed the wound was worse than it had previously been.
It looked like something bit me on the wound.
I crawled over to where Jack's was.
"Come on nephew! Wake up! Please… wake up." I shuck his body but to no avail.
"Please.. Don't leave me here alone.. You know I'm afraid of dead body's"
I grabbed Jacks hand and checked if he had a pulse.
At first I didn't get any but then very faint I finally got what is was hoping for.
After a couple hours Jack finally woke up.
"Urg.. where am I?" Jack asked while looking around.
"I have no idea." Em said while she was sitting beside him.
"What is that foul smell, it's like rotting meat or something like that." He responded.
"Just take a look around." Em said.
Jack's face turned paler than it already was.
"We need to get out of here." Jack finally said and he helped Em up on her feet.
The two walked further into the huge hallway shaped room.
Then suddenly Jack pulled Em back and the two hid behind a couple of dead bodies.
Em had to cover her mouth in order not to make a sound.
She looked at Jack in confusion but then she heard it..
A growl in the darkness, followed by the sound of footsteps.
There it was, the creature that had chased Jack and Emily earlier.
Even though it was standing in the darkest part of the room Emily could still make out some features.
The creature had sharp crocodile like fangs and it seemed to be very thin.
It had long claws and its feet where weirdly twisted to resemble that of a wolf.
It had a very pale skin and was very tall.
The creature was looking around scanning the area with it's dead black eye's.
He looked into the direction of Jack and Emily.
They could feel it's intense glare coming over them.
The creature was looking right at them but didn't move.
Then after a brief moment it started sniffing the air.
It seemed to have picked up something.
It started to slowly walk into the direction of Jack and Em.
However they didn't dare make a move.
It was getting closer and closer still smelling the air.
The closer it got the more it started smelling and looking around.
He defiantly picked up their scent.
Then when it stood right beside them, it seemed to have picked up another smell and ran the other way.
Jack and Emily both sighed in relief.
They then left their hiding spot and continued walking.
There were a couple of entrances but they were all to high to get to, like this was some kind of dump area.
Unfortunately for them the only reachable exit/entrance was through the tunnel that the creature had just gone left through.
They had to follow the creature and hope that it wouldn't decide to come back.
The halls were dark, luckily it also mend that the creature had to rely on smell instead of sight.
"I do wonder why suddenly something else caught it's attention." Em thought to herself.
The gang and Steven had just walked into the entrance of the mine.
They were surprised to find that most of the lights still worked.
The hallway's were dimly lit and the further in they went the darker it seemed to become.
It was very quit they could only hear the dripping of a leaking water pipeline.
"I've seen enough let's turn back!" Steven said out of nowhere.
It jump scared the other a little.
"But we are going back, back to the place where you locked our friends up!" Mark said with an evil look on his face and he pushed Steven further.
After a while it became fully quit except for their own breathing.
They had to walk very far in and even had to decent quit some levels.
It was then when they noticed one light started to flicker slightly.
"This is the room..." Steven then said while pointing at a broken, no more like shredded door.
Micheal swallowed in his fear and then walked inside.
The others soon followed.
The room was a complete mess, there was shredded and broken stuff everywhere.
There were dark green colored lockers thrown about and some had huge scratch marks on them.
Lots of other ruble lay on the floor, a broken table some shattered glass, shredded white cloth and torture tools all over the place.
There were two chairs broken on the ground with some cut rope next to it.
"Those are the chairs I put them in...I told you they wouldn't make it." Steven then said.
David, Mark and Linds looked down for a minute almost giving up hope but then…
"No, these ropes were cut by knife. They escaped." Micheal said while holding the rope in his hands.
He then continued to grab the other rope. "It looks like there was a locker here once, they must have gone into hiding."
Micheal then followed some scratches on the floor that looked like someone dragged a locker for a bit before throwing it.
Micheal turned over a locker and there was the wooden piece covered in blood, just like the ground underneath.
"O no, one of them got hurt and from the looks of it pretty bad."
Then Micheal saw a small blood trail and started following it though the room.
Mark who was still standing half in the doorway thought he heard something coming from further down.
He started walking towards the stairs leading down.
Just when he thought that he just imagined it, he noticed that two more lights began flickering.
Then from the dark stairway he heard it again.
It sounded like someone calling for help.
The voice seemed to be very distant and the others didn't seem to notice.
They were all caught up in Micheal's story of what must have happened with Em and Jack.
Mark knew he had to wait for the others to catch on but then right when he wanted to turn back to the others he heard it again.
This time it was more clear. "Help me! Please!" It sounded like Emily.
Mark couldn't hold himself back anymore.
"Emily!" He yelled as he started running through the maze like mine.
The other then realized that Mark ran off and they tried to ran after him.
Unfortunately Mark was too fast since he already had a short head start.
"Emily! Jack!" Mark yelled at the top of his longs.
Mark stopped in his tracks he didn't hear a response anymore.
He turned around and realized that he got himself lost and worst of all he was split up from the others.
Meanwhile Micheal, David, Lindsey and Steven were walking down another path one that seemed to only get darker.
While they were walking they noticed more lights began to flicker around them.
David and Steven were both very scared at this point.
They knew what they were up against.
Micheal kept on walking however so the others had no choice but to follow.
The hallway they were fallowing had a view twist and turns but in eventually let to a dead end.
As Micheal was closely examining the wall the other turned around ready for walking back into the dimly lit hallway.
Then they all heard someone exhaling with a heavy breath and right after that the light above them shattered and darkened the hallway even more.
Then the light furthest away from them did the same.
David, Lindsey and Steven all looked in horror as they saw a shadow move closer.
Every time it would pass a light it broke so they couldn't see the thing that was approaching.
The shattering of the light came closer and closer.
Lindsey couldn't believe what she was seeing she and her brother David both stood frozen in fear.
Steven however was now turned towards Micheal who was still inspecting the wall.
The shattering of the lights had almost reached them.
Lindsey and David watched in horror as they saw the last light right in front of them shatter with a loud cluck.
They were in complete darkness.
It had gotten eerily quit, way to quit.
Then David felt a worm wind near his face, that's when it hid David.
They were no where near the exit and they were a couple of levels below ground, how could there be any wind.
Then both Lindsay and David felt a hand on their shoulders pulling them backwards.
