Beth clutched herself tightly as the chilling wind from above started to make her sweater prick at her skin. She looked up and around the cave she and her sister were now trapped in. She had been away from her twin for about several minutes for a possible escape route but to no avail. The teen sighed and then shivered frantically as her clothes couldn't protect her from the cold any longer. In desperate need of some kind of help, Beth began to pick up the pace, now searching for any source of warmth instead to escape.

The further she ventured into the caverns, the darker it became. Beth reached into her pocket but swore under her breath when she remembered that she dropped her phone. Now their possible means of rescue was gone. Fucking brilliant. Curiosity and some form of relief sparked in her when she saw something in the distance. She quickly stepped over the rocky pathway and over to her discovery. It felt as if a heavy weight was lifted off her shoulders when she found a nearby door and a green jacket hanging next to it.

"Now we're talking.", she said to herself as she slipped the coat on, already feeling much warmer. Beth wanted nothing more than to sprint back to Hannah to tell her the news, but figured to check it out since that she could be leading them to a dead end for all she knew. She mustered all her strength to open the door and, after several tries, it finally gave way.

"Y!", she said to no one in particular. But as soon she stepped in, she heard some kind of screeching in the distance. Steadying her resolve, she ventured further into the room, unsure of what was about to come. To her surprise nothing was happening when she was now in the middle of the room.

Suddenly, when she turned a corner she could someone walking in her direction. The stranger from the previous night. Beth figured that he saw her since he was now picking up the pace and telling her to stop. But she was paralysed. She didn't know what to do. She took a few steps back but then stumbled to the ground.

She began to whimper as the old man was now towering over her. But instead of expecting him to end it all he put a finger to his lips, signalling for her to stay quiet, and helped her to her feet.

Beth saw his noticeable flamethrower and was about to say something but the stranger stopped her. Another screech was heard. This time, very close. "Quiet.", he whispered. "And don't move."

The teen complied and stood as still as she could. The closer the sound got the deeper her nails dug into her skin. What was coming closer? An animal? No, Beth thought. An animal wouldn't make her this scared half to death.

Then she saw it. The thing that was chasing her and Hannah. The inhuman figure swooped into the room and crawled in, all in one move. The sudden movement caused Beth to yelp in fear, instantly regretting it. The monster whipped its head in their direction and bared it teeth, ready to attack. Beth was unable to hold in her fear and soon manifested in a terrified scream.

The stranger swore under his breath and raised his flamethrower. "Get back!", he yelled, but Beth wasn't sure if he was taking to her or the monster. It could've been either, since the creature sprug back and started to scale the walls, still crawling closer. He raised his weapon up to the wall. "Run! Get out of here!"

She was still frozen in fear by what she was seeing. The animalistic shrieks snapped her out of her reverie and remembered that she was facing certain death. With all the fight she had left, she sprinted back through the door, making sure to close it behind her.

Her number one priority was getting back to Hannah. How could she be so fucking stupid?! She left her sister out in the cold now completely defenceless against a monster that could've reach her by now. Her fears and worries clouded her mind causing her to not look where she was going and tripping over some sharp rocks. She winced in pain but had enough determination to ignore it and keep running.

Just when she thought she was getting closer to her sister, the familiar screams could now be heard from above her. Beth didn't know whether to run or freeze when the monster was directly above her. The thing slowly scaled the ceiling not detracting it's gaze from the teen. Considering how fast those creatures moved, Beth knew it would be useless to try and outrun it. She stood completely still like a statue and there was so much fear inside her that she was biting her togue so hard that it was bleeding.

Her frantic breathing was apparently loud enough for it to hear her. In a matter of seconds, it was now level with her and was stalking towards her. Beth could feel it's chilling breath against her face when it snarled at her. The high pitch shrieks were enough to make her want to jump but she remembered… don't move.

Beth was ready to beg for her life as she saw its talons reach towards her, when she caught the sight of a flame in the corner of her eye.

"Hey!", the old man yelled. He released another flame. "Over here!" The creature snarled in his direction and left Beth as if she were never there. She let an elongated breath out until she started running again before it could come back, despite her worry for the man that saved her life.

She was now very close to where she left Hannah but from her distance could see that she was gone. More than just worry seeped into her bones as she feared her worst nightmare was coming true.

"Hannah!", she called out. There was no answer. "Hannah!" She sounded more and more desperate after every attempt. A loud and helpless shriek echoed throughout the caves and Beth could immediately tell who it was. She called out her name one final time. She waited forever for a response but didn't hear one. The heartbroken teen dropped to the cold ground and let out a scream that could be heard all the way across the caverns and back.

The monster had now caught up with her again but a distraught Beth made no attempt to hide her position. She closed her eyes, ready for death. A tear of fear and hopelessness rolled down her cheek and was soon crying her eyes out. That… thing was once again ready to rip her to shreds. Despite its screeches, everything around her went silent.

She was alone. She broke her promise.
