Into the Depths of Darkness

Prologue

Darkness. It surrounded my being as if it were oxygen itself, clouding my vision. Nothing was seen but the pitch black darkness that enveloped me. Pure silence, not a single sound heard or made.

"H-hello?.." My voice echoed for what seemed like half a minute. I was shocked to hear it go on for so long but nervous because I have no idea what could be in here with me.

God knows I could maybe die in here

I snickered at the thought. Okay so now this place is making me go insane. I'm in a dream for fucks sake. The worse that could happen is having an unrealistic nightmare like losing my voice and not being able to escape a kidnapper or something.

Hell, I can't even move in dreams either

Or even be able to think in my head like this...

The sound of a door creaking shut and locking causes me to gasp and lose my train of thought. I'm left unsettled.

"Hello? Is anyone there..?" Again, my voice echoes once more and I wince, forgetting how long it echoes for but someone has to be in here with me. There's got to be someone.

Wait a second

I can speak too?

Most dreams if I'm in danger, I just almost watch what happens like a movie but I only feel the emotions as if I'm actually there. I'm never able to speak out against anyone or anything or even move my body in some way.

I looked down at my hands as I raised them up so I can see them, turning them around and curling my fingers. I'm able to move in this dream.

What is this?

I turn around looking left and then turning to look at my right, looking above and below me but all I see is black.

I don't know how to feel about being able to move in this oddly semi-realistic dream. And hell, I usually love dreaming but this is making me feel unsettled and I hated it. I wasn't some weak girl who gets afraid of silly crap like being alone in the dark.

I hesitated to take steady, slow steps in front of me in hopes of not disturb anything that could possibly be lurking in the terrifying setting I was in.

I pushed myself to go faster as if I was actually getting somewhere, only to be disappointed when nothing new caught my eyes.

But I had spoken to soon.

Out in the distance something grabbed my attention — a rectangular figure ahead of me that was still, unmoving. I journeyed closer but was careful with the sound of my steps to make sure that whatever this was didn't move. As I realized that it wasn't going to move an inch, I had quickened my pace as my heart beat accelerated into a beat so loud that I could have sworn could have been heard by someone or anything in here with me.

I started sprinting toward it, as I heard a strange noise coming from behind me that absolutely terrified me but I was too focused on running full speed as I neared the motionless object.

Abruptly, I slowed down my sprint into a fast-paced walk until I stopped after hearing the sound of... wind?

Suddenly, a heavy thick fog started pushing past me from the direction behind me. The room seemingly lightened as the fog overwhelmed me but as I did a slow spin to check my surroundings, nothing was seen except the rectangular figure that I could now make out as a door.
