Left Behind (Work In Progress)

Chapter 1 - The Hole

              Two college students, Alex and Kitten. Alex loved the color green and refused to wear anything without the color in it. Even his hair and eyes were green! His girlfriend, Kitten loved the color blue, and had dark pink hair, and loved fashion. The two also did paranormal investigating to earn money, living in Alex's home at the time. The two were chilling at  the house, when Alex got a phone call from a panicked man. 

"Hello?" Alex answered.

"The...the....IT!!" The frantic voice screamed on the other end.

"What? Who is this?"

"THERE'S A DEMON IN THAT HOLE I TELL YA!!"

All the while Kitten was watching TV and eating popcorn in her pajamas. Alex asked for the location of this hole, and the panicked man calmly told Alex the address, Alex thanked the man then hung up.

"C'mon Kitten someone wants us to investigate an abandoned hole." Kitten thrashed her head at the sound of her name then sighed. "I'll go change then."

        Later, Alex pulled the car into the gravel road of the driveway. There was an abandoned house, but beyond that was a desert. Kitten handed Alex a flashlight. "Ready?" Alex nodded and the two started walking down the gravel path. Once they reached the desert and had been walking for a while, Alex was about to turn around. "Maybe the man was drunk and gave me a random address." Kitten shook her head. "It's here somewhere, were just not looking hard enough!!" Very cliche, the hole appeared in sight. A giant black abyss in the middle of the desert. Alex gulped. Kitten looked back at him, grinned, then jumped in. Alex heard a loud thunk and saw Kitten's light thrashing. "Kitten you okay?!" Alex called. There was silence until finally Alex heard her voice. "There's a note down here!!" Alex smiled and dropped down into the hole. Kitten picked up a wrinkled paper from the sand, and started reading aloud. "Day 1: I have heard that anyone who enters this hole never comes back. I hope that's not true. My friend came down here a few days ago, and he's gone now. So I've come to look for him." Kitten looked up then dropped the paper. They moved on. They shuffled through the cave nervously until they came across a small river. "Inside a hole?!" Kitten stepped over the water and inched on the side into the next room, Alex followed. This room looked like it was part of a building. There was a working light that hung above their heads, flickering often, and the floor was now tile. Kitten gasped and Alex looked away, there was a dead rotted skeleton in the corner, and a completely black, lifeless figure lying on an operation table in the center of the room. Kitten examined the body while Alex picked up the note. The note was blah about someone's studies on this female demon, but some of the letters, like E was replaced with a 3. It made no sense until Alex turned his head and saw a metal door leading back into the sandy cave, but to open it there was a keypad. Alex remembered the numbers on the paper, and punched those numbers into the keypad. The metal door slowly slid open, as if old with age, and the two walked through the door. In front of them was water, meaning they'd have to swim. Alex bit his bottom lip because this was his favorite jacket, but Kitten jumped right in, so Alex followed. The two were great swimmers, as they reached the bottom of the pool, Kitten saw a note, and grabbed it. They went through a tunnel before swimming back up into a new room, they gasped for air and threw themselves up onto the dirt shore. Kitten read the note, and grabbed Alex's shirt. "What is it?" Kitten pointed at the note, and Alex leaned over to read it. In big, sloppy letters, it said "You shouldn't have walked away from my body." The two immediately thought about the demon body they had left back in the other room. The two scrambled out of the water and looked around, Alex screamed. There were dead bodies hanging by their feet and covered in blood. There were many tunnels full of these bodies, and to get out, they had to choose one. Kitten tossed the note and the two ducked under bodies cautiously and after what seemed like hours, and they were dry, they found an elevator. It still worked! The doors opened to an...upside down room. Kitten looked through the window, and screamed, on the other side there was that same female demon, except it was standing, and staring at them with white glowing eyes. Besides that she had long black hair as well. Alex wanted to go back inside the elevator, and when he pressed the button, the wall behind Kitten opened into another elevator. "C'mon!" Alex and Kitten ran inside and went up a level. They were so lost, and could not turn back now. That door opened into a long black corridor, and at the end of it, stood the demon. In the middle of the hallway was a large hole on fire, and black arms reaching out of it. Trying to grab for anything near. The demon left a note, and Kitten picked it up, while Alex hid behind her. "Alex, do you remember me? Is that Kitten from high school? - Karma." Kitten read aloud. Alex stood up straight and stared at the demon at the end of the hall. "Karma?!"
