The First Deaths

Chapter 6: The Endless Night

The blackness continued for what seemed like hours. Suddenly Sam yelped as a force pulled her backwards. A light was shone on her face and revealed that there were no longer creatures around, that Lizzy was gone, and one man with a warrior build and a tuft of spiky, white hair.
Sam pushed him and yelled "WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU!?" "You best not yell if you want to get out of here alive" "Fine, but still..." "You can call me Sagitarus" "Ok, where are we?" "The basement, no more questions"
"Okay" Nearby, Sam heard a weeping that sounded unmistakably like Lizzy's. She was about to dash into the branching tunnel on the left, where the sobbing was coming from, right as  the warrior said "That's not your friend" "What?" "That is a weeping whipper" "Huh?" "They imitate your most relevant grief and lure you in, only to grab you, slash you with their giant whipping tendons, and kill you" "Uhhhh, ok" which ended the conversation. They continued on for at least 5 miles and Sam needed to stop. "Slow down" came with no response. "Sagitarus?" Still, no response. "God damn!" Air whisked by her face and she was swept upward through the corridor; Sam passed out.
When she woke up, she was tied to a chair and felt horrible. She felt the musty feeling of an attic and saw a window she recognized from the front of the house. Thats when she heard a clatter behind her to find Lizzy. As Lizzy struggled, Sam said "What are you doing?" Lizzy jumped and yelled "SAM! Jesus don't jump me like that!" "What are you talking about?" "Oh, you're tied up too." Sam felt Lizzy's attitude drop. "No shit Sherlock!" They heard a booming voice from below yell "Shut the hell up!" and there was silence. The girls didn't make a peep for an hour until Lizzy whispered angrily "Why the fuck does it need to happen now" and Sam saw blood on the floor by Lizzy's leg. The voice returned and was closer to the door on the opposite side of the room. "I thought I told you to shut up" and Lizzy, being the arrogant smartass she is said "I thought you told us to 'Shut the hell up' " and the door creaked open. Sam yelled at Lizzy "You arrogant bastard!" When Sam was expecting a large creature, she was confronted by something not much larger than a rat. It has a scaled head and leathery bat wings. The rest of its body was covered in feathers.
"What the he--?" Sam and Lizzy said in synch as it slapped both of them before they could finish. "I am Boreus" They heard in an impossibly loud voice. Sam started to talk "We are S-" "I know who you are" the lizard thing responded. "You are both curious as to what I am, I am a drazon" "Dragon?" "No, all my older cousins have passed away, and no I don't breathe fire, I simply blast my teeth which can go up to 758 mph." And it revealed rows of hundreds of teeth. "Now, quiet or I'll blast out both of your tounges."
Sam thought that was unfair.
