3rd Pov-

Isaac had finally woken up from his long dreadful plummet. He was confused on how he'd survived the fall after looking up and not seeing a hole, or even a ceiling. No light, no ladder, nothing to suggest where he'd came from was even a real place. He looked around at his soundings, seeing that the walls and floor were wooden, two doors on opposite walls, and a few large rocks. Isaac got up, scared at whatever this place was. He had no where else to go, so he picked a door and walked through it, finding nothing more then another room with more directions. Before he got far, Isaac encountered a small worm like creature, but it also resembled a cartoon caterpillar. All the thing had done is jump around the room, so he left it alone and named it Embryo. He's not sure why, it just seems like a weird creature would have a weird name. 

He runs into a new room and finds a much larger gray like version of the last, but it seems much more older and withered. It moves around the room a lot faster and Isaac tried his best to avoid the creature, but the moment it spots him, it quickly rushed towards him. Isaac in turn runs towards the door he just came from, but realizes the door is locked. He bangs on it a few times, starting to hyperventilate. The closer the beast gets, the more Isaac fears his life will be over, letting out a large wailing cry in fear of his death. The beast lets out a screech, not seeming to enjoy the noise coming from the boy. Isaac watches as it fails around as if it was hearing nails on a chalkboard. It breaks open the doors with it's large size and Isaac makes a run for it, thankful that the creature is too large to fit through the small door. 

 Isaac found himself in a strange room, walls had leaks, the floor had massive holes, and fires where found randomly in the room behind large rocks. Isaac only then realised how cold everything was, he'd been focused more on the fear of being in this strange place. He tried getting near the fire, but he was too tired from fear and running to climb the rock. He kept walking in the large area and found a strange door, different from the rest. It ad gold trimming and gold like horns at the top, the floor around it was tidy, and the door itself was open. He entered and found only one thing, a strange green mass on a smooth rock. There was even a small note he'd picked up and read.

"Bob's brain."

He poked it, causing it to float and him to flinch backwards in surprise. However it followed him. Wherever he went, it was always two feet from him. He decided to just call it Bob, after the previous owner of the weird green brain. He felt a bit calmer with it, now leaving and entering the only other room he found unlocked. It lead into a dead end, so he turned around, realizing he'd need to pass the large creature to enter the other room to try finding an exit, or at least some food. When he entered the beast seemed enraged, slamming into walls and doors. He started tearing up, and as if on q, Bob went in front of the small boy, as if it was threatening the beast. Isaac made his way quickly across the room, trying to avoid the beast of destruction. The faint grey worm followed him, but seemed much slower anytime Bob the green brain got in his way of Isaac, It seemed to be avoiding it. 

Because of his new friend, he'd manage to run into the next room, finding a simular room with one door at the end, a door with a black trimming and large human like skull with black horns. He entered a bit worried, seeing nothing in here he thought of leaving until a black hole appeared in the floor. Isaac walked near it a bit, only drawing backward when a figure around the size of him but a bit larger emerged from the darkness. To Isaac it looked like a black demon with red eyes, horns, even wearing a large grin, and floating. The monster starts laughing when it sees Isaac in it's room, quickly summoning a black hole in the ground near Isaac and taunting him to jump in. Isaac looked to Bob to see if the brain felt any danger from it, but since it hadn't given any attacks at either yet, it wasn't focused on the small demon.

Isaac decided to try trusting the creature, stepping closer to the black hole. Once he is close enough the monster floats near him, hoping into the black hole and scaring Isaac from this. He looks around the black hole until he sees the monster reappear from a new black hole, still taunting Isaac to jump in. Isaac grabbed Bob and took a step off the stable floor he barley knew, and once again falling down a hole. When Isaac reemerged, he was clinging to Bob and curled up, not thinking he would have actually came back like the horned creature. It pushes him in mid air so he lands back on the ground, seemingly less scary then Isaac had thought. He sat down wanting to know why one creature had no care for him, one wanted him dead, another protecting him, and now this horned demon seemingly playing with him, or at least trying to get him to play. He watches as it keeps hoping in black holes, at one point showing Isaac it can summon bombs, even giving him one. 

Isaac didn't know where to put it, so the creature gave him a bag of dessert, something his mom normally gave him if he went to church with her. He sat down and ate the food, enjoying being able to have food, and a place to carry any items he finds. Once Isaac looks up he notices the black figure seems confused, no longer smiling, and not floating in the air like normal. They took the bag from Isaac and pointed at the words on it, 'dog food'.  Isaac didn't understand what it meant and watches as it signs and hands the bag back. Isaac has gained trust with the horned monster, so he hasn't been shaking as much or feeling the need to cry. The two ended up playing together, and he learned the creature's name was Little Horn. He felt safe here, but knew he wanted to still find a way out to hopefully find his Father.

"Is there a way out?" Isaac asked very quietly, for he didn't like talking much. He'd been forced a few times at church to sing, something expected in some places to not be seen as disrespectful and included with their preaches. Isaac never enjoyed being forced to talk, so it was a nice pace went him and Horn could play in silence, it was comforting. He noticed how Lil Horn seemed surprised by seeing the boy finally speaking. They nodded at Isaac and mode a hatch appear near the end of the room. Isaac go closer to the hatch and opened it, not liking that it goes down. He point up, indicating he wanted to go back home. Lil Horn's smile dropped again, this time realizing Wally Isaac asked, and didn't like that his new friend wanted to go back there. Instead, they pushed Isaac down the ladder, not wanting him to have the chance of going back.
