Kye
We finally land on something hard and I scream in pain staying on the ground. It's too dark to see anything, though I can feel Derrick grab my arm.
"I think...I broke something" I say breathless and I hear him breath out a frustrated sigh.
"This might hurt, but I'm gonna make it so it's only a sprain not broken alright?" He says and I can tell he's scared too. There's a sudden sharp pain in my ankle and I scream in pain again. I feel Derrick grab my arm again and pull me up then i feel around for his shoulder. I find it and lean onto it. We start walking and I try not to limp so I stop and Derrick looks at me.
"I think I'll be good for now Derrick, now I think I know a candle spell so we can see were we're going" I say.
Lifting my hand and closing my eyes, I mutter in the darkest parts of the night, give us the brightest parts of a light then I open my eyes and a blue candle the size of a mug appears in my hand and it lights up. Then we scream.
There are dead bodies upon dead bodies lined up on what looks like broken down old barrels, shelves and anything big enough for a body to fit into. Derrick hits my chest and I look up seeing they reach up into the endless ceiling. We hear a little girl giggle and me and Derrick grab each other. I close my eyes and breath out slowly.
"It's just the err, catacombs Derrick, uhh no biggie we just have to find the exit and find father...err that's all" I say. Did I mention Derrick is terrified of the dark?
"Y-y-yeah, like that'll be easy...oh god we're gonna be lost in here forever. Oh god oh god!" Derrick starts I slap him hard across the face snapping him out of it. I start walking forward again when I run right into a wall. And I'm the one with the candle.
"Not a word Derrick" I say and keep walking holding up the candle.
After a while we sit down and I put the candle down then I put my head in my hands. Derrick rubs my back and I look at him trying not to show fear. He smiles a little cheekily at me and I shake my head.
"It's like a maze in here, we're never gonna get ou-"
"Hey hey hey that's not true" Derrick interrupts "we'll get out of here one way or another ok? Like dory said...just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming swimming" he finishes and i smile a little. I nod then get up taking the candle into my hand and I raise it looking around.
Two corridors stand ahead of us, mocking us as if we were in a funhouse and one way was the way out and the other lead to a dead end. I shiver at the thought then shake my head and I start walking to the left corridor.
"Like you said young Kye, it's like a maze" I hear next to my ear then I tense and grip the candle harder a little scared. Derrick touches my shoulder and I look at him then he grips my shoulder a little tighter telling me get ready in case we have to fight.
I put the candle on the floor and look around but I see no one except for Derrick and the candle. So I pick up the candle and we walk down the left corridor hoping it's the right one and that we will get out of this hell hole.
But we were way off.
