I stood at the front door my hand shaking as I reached for the cold handle of this awful place. I was so nervous, yet extremely exited. This door was the only thing between me and the outside world... And yet I hesitated. I don't know why, but I couldn't bring myself to turn the knob.

Maybe I was scared. I've been locked away from the outside for such a long time in a stuffy attic. And now I get to remember what it's like to be free. It scared me. I felt like a small grub again, everything was knew, foreign, terrifying.

Perhaps I still have a chance to turn back. No what am I saying, after all that hard work to get to this point. It would be stupid to throw all that away now.

I took in a deep breath, closing my eyes for a moment in an attempt to calm down.

Then I opened the door. A soft gust of air danced past me as the smell of fresh air welcomed me. I bit my lip as I stepped outside for the first time in sweeps.

It was bright outside, the sun was high up as midday began to wake. I couldn't help but to laugh as I stepped out into the sunlight. I began to cry, I couldn't believe it. I was free, I was... free.

"Free... Hopefully I can keep it that way." I whisper.

I rubbed the morning dew from my eyes and began my decent down the porch stairs. But suddenly I remembered something. The beast traps. What if he set up new ones here? The grass wasn't very tall, I could easily see the ground. However, forest surrounded the hive, he could have easily covered them up there. I glanced around for anything useful. Suddenly I spotted a shovel, it layed sleeping on the ground not to far away from the hive.

This will do. I thought going over and picking it up.

I could use this to poke the ground in front of me, so it'll get bit instead of me.

And so, with a backpack stuffed full of supplies and a new friend Mr. Shovel you set off on your quest to Damara's hive. Even though you had no idea as to where you were going, but hey anywhere is better than that attic.

You walked carefully across the yard towards the dense forest. Stabbing the ground lightly in front of you as you went. This continued until you reached the edge of the forest. Freezing under the tall blue trunks of the woods you stared into the small world that would soon separate you from this hell. You turned around peering back at the attic window. But turned back towards the forest quickly afraid that you might see him glaring down a you.

You raised your shovel placing it in front of you once more as you began your decent in.

At first there was no sign of any traps. But you weren't going to let your guard down any time soon.

BANG!

You jumped slightly at the noise. It seemed you caught a beast trap.

"These are set out pretty far..." You say under your breath.

You turned around looking back from where you once came and furrowed your brow.

"I can't even see the hive anymore... Why did he set these out so far, Or did I just get lucky and miss some?" I questioned to no-one in particular.

I bent down gabbing the trap and sliding it off of the end of the shovel head. It came off relatively easily with a somewhat loud metallic scratching sound.

"Now to rinse an re-peat." I huff continuing on forward.

It has been over three days or so since you have escaped. And so far you weren't doing to bad. You managed to make it to a small town and was able to find out where you were, and as it turns out, you were currently only about a week worth of walking from Damara's hive.
