Curiosity killed the cat, didn’t it? And now, your own curiosity got the best of you.
With a looming, intimidating entrance in front of you, common sense started to make its debut in your mind. What the hell were you even thinking? All alone, deep inside a rotting forest at the starts of autumn, in the literal middle of nowhere, no signal, no way to reach out, nothing.
But you’re stubborn and hard headed. So, you naturally took a step, leaves crunching beneath your feet. Your gut was telling you to go back, to think about it, to take a moment. Despite those feelings, deep, deep down, it felt right in a bizarre way.
You always studied and investigated peculiar creatures, so, what was the worst that could happen?
Walking slowly, you started to inspect your surroundings. It was humid, but the amount of moss that should be there, just wasn’t. As if it was periodically kept under maintenance. Odd for a cave in the middle of the forest, to say the least.
Stepping further, darkness encased you. Your pupils were blown wide as you struggled to turn on the flashlight; you were shivering.
With a small click, your surroundings lit up, a faint white light illuminating the glistening walls of the cave. You noticed that the trail was intricate yet simple—hard enough so hikers and amateur explorers had a tough time, but boring enough for them to lose interest in it.
You knew better, though. You read books, you talked to people, you did your research, and it all came down to this point. There was no turning back now.
You reached a point where you were certain it was well underground, below a river, judging the way water dripped down the ceiling. Your legs were quivering and your mouth was dry, since you made the rookie mistake of drinking all the water during the hike to the cave.
Pondering for a minute, you decided it was a fair idea too look for a source of water. It shouldn’t be too hard to find one, and the cave was quiet enough to hear the faint sound of running water.
Turning left, you followed the sound of water, when the light started to flicker.
“No, no, no! Fuck!” Total darkness. A chill ran down your spine. You were lost, in a cave, with no supplies. Rustiling in your bag, you tried to find the spare batteries of the flashlight, but desesperation tears were flooding your eyes.
Your breathing was raggedy, pulse unsteady, and you could feel the blood pumping in your head. Everything was a blur, too fast, too slow, until you heard heavy footsteps.
