THE CORRIDOR

Chapter three: The cave ... a sacrifice,a new era has begun .

     Upon entering the cave , a striking coldness sent shivers down my spine , but I still felt indifferent . Afew bats flew away as I turned on my flash light , the cave was humid and somewhat narrow , as I walked through it , I felt light , my feet barely touching the floor beneath me , floating almost , on the sides of the cave were lying smallbones and even the skulls of some unfortunate critter , the soulless skulls kept gazing at me with their empty orbits , they seemed to be following me turning around very slightly almost unnoticeably, is my mind playing tricks on me ? I can't tell at this point , all I care about is to move forward deeper in this cave. as I walked further ,the cave widened revealing two pathways: left and right awall stood in between of them " either left or right the choice is one" have I said to myself ,but following either of the pathways didn't feel right ,the wall before me was covered in dark stains and markings , some resembled handprints , some random numbers were carved on the rock , on further inspection a reversed "1 "caught my eye , below it was a very distinctly shaped hole , I inserted the key by rote , and before realizing what I did the walls started shifting , revealing the ritual room , it was lit by many white thick candles covering the floor ,surprisingly there was not a pentacle like a expected but a big S was traced on the rock floor, no books , no statues of some sort, the room rather seemed empty , figuring that maybe the old rituals performed by my family were very different from the traditional ones ( as if I knew how those where performed ) maybe theirs were more powerful or more malefic .. who knew that the Sander's family hid such a ugly history in its entrails . On the other end of the room a tall table stood , on top of it were many small lit red candles except of one , the one standing next to a strange looking S shaped black syringe sealed with a red protective cover .Behind the table a beautiful , knob less, stone door was, in an inhuman manner,ornamented, from top to bottom, with such precisely carved mosaics.      I knew what to do next, took the legend book ,put it on the table ,by opening in the last page I noticed that a new blank page was added , took the syringe removed the lid carefully exposing a sharp black needle , I rolled up my sleeve tightening my arm , making my bluish veins more visible and more accessible to the needle, as I pierced my skin a sharp burning yet pleasurable pain fired through my entire arm turning numb as blood spilled out of the vein, filling the syringe with my warm blood .

     As the syringe got filled up , I removed it from my skin and figured I would use it to write the legend again in the blank page reserved just for me ,it was my turn , as I started writing each letter with difficulty , and after noting down the legend amateurishly, every word seemed to adopt a neater handwriting that resembled my own .

Upon finishing my task , I lifted my head to be faced by a wide open door , a door unveiling darkness,unveiling evil , it was the door ,the door that led to an endless torment. I froze ,my entire life flashed before myeyes , all of it was an illusion , all I was throughout this years , a sacrifice, I already feel regret and compassion for my succeder .I slowly moved towards the door , I turned around , one last time noticing the last candle was lit , even brighter than the others. I entered , and the door shut slowly but loudly behind me sealing me in the corridor for ever .Well that is the story of how I ended up here , I'm the chosen one , the sacrificed one , I saved my family, my village and even your life was spared because of me , everyone one should be grateful for my existence and ... oh is that uncle Sal's backpack ?! ...
