STAIRS

Chapter 2: Almost there.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Yusuke was really 'shaking in his boots' now. He could here many strange noises which sounded like screams of woman and children and then chuckles of anything possible watching him.

The blood trickling down his leg from something that scratched him wasn't what made him stiff, and not able to move. It was his 100 loss of bravery. He wanted to be home cuddling with his parents….in his warm bed…..safe out of here. But if he wanted that, he had to leave this first step and face all the rest 19 of them.

Yusuke pushed both of his hands onto the walls beside him. He could feel all the spiders and cockroaches crawling around them and up his sleeves.

Yusuke closed his eyes tight, and he panted over and over again as if he ran miles and miles. When he opened his eyes he was hoping for a dream of this, but it was real. He knew this as he felt his tears fall from his face.

Yusuke shot his head up as he heard a muffled growl, sounding very close to him. Yusuke stopped thinking of it. And then…..he raised a foot then stepped to the next step with both.

He then knew where the growl came from. Standing clear in front of his face was….something that looked like a cross between a wolf and a bear. If had the face of a wolf and the body of a bear. Its teeth were probably as sharp as a katana sword, and its yellow eyes were shaped like moons. It had blood covered everywhere all over its mouth and the rest of its body. Yusuke believed this blood wasn't 'its' own.

The creature lunged forward at him. Yusuke thought quick enough, and he meant to try and dodge but he lost balance and fell down. He tumbled all the way to the ninth step. The creature ran down to him but it disappeared in thin air. But to make a long story short it was killed with out a weapon….and its blood flowed everywhere covering Yusuke from head to toe.

Yusuke wiped the crimson liquid from his eyes the best he could. He was happy he was farther down the steps, but this would mean he probably was heading for more danger.

Yusuke felt a sudden rush of pain as it felt like a knife was being carved into his arm. There was nothing there doing it, but his arm was like paper…there were being words carved into it.

After suffering for a long time, Yusuke managed to read it. He was used to all the blood every where on him.

Are you ready? Can you face it all?

Yusuke read it over and over again to try and understand. The growls and screams and chuckles didn't help him be able to think much either.

Yusuke looked around, still trying to pier through the darkness. All he could see and smell was blood. Yusuke shivered and curled his knees to his stomach.

He broke a piece of woods off the wall, the turantula's crawling out of it. He took it and carved into his other arm…

'Yes'
