8- Exploration

Just a little note, I'll be calling everyone by their real names now. Since it's getting a lil serious, I don't want to be calling them by their online names now. Just a thank you for all the reads because this is my first book and I never expected so many people to be interested in it <3, Anyways, enjoy :D              

——————————————————————————————————————-

Dusk started swiftly running the the eerie entrance, creeping Max out, 'I'm... not going in there... but, do I?'  He heard an echoed mew, meaning that Dusk is probably waiting for him. ' Why..? Who would Dusk want me to go in.. there? Is it that important?'  He analyzed the shape of the entrance, and how sketchy it was. 

Coincidentally, it starts to rain. 'Great, now what other choice do I have? Actually, it's just rain. I could just walk-'  a loud boom of thunder blasted in Max's ears, making him instinctively run inside the entrance.

Max leaned against the wall and gripped his chest, trying to calm down from the sudden thunder. 'Jesus... that scared me to death'   He looked outside, and the other way, leading further into—where ever this leads to. ' I think I'll go in, yeah. What's the worst that could happen?'  

Max reached in his pocket for his phone, his phone got a bit more cracked, but it still works. He turned his phone into flashlight mode, and started exploring a bit. Going deeper, and deeper in the strange entrance.

Minutes, that felt like hours passed by. Each second making Max more anxious, and making him rethink his decision of going in. 'I'm such a dumbass, why did I go in here in the first place? It's too late to turn back now, and I'm probably going to die or something.' 

Max then realized that he went in a sewer-ish place, it had the shape, and a appearance of a sewer, but it wasn't as dirty or smelly then the average sewer you would find. He looked below him, and saw that his walkway path got smaller and smaller. In the middle was dirty, sewage water, and it would be a nightmare if Max fell in.

"Disgusting... so disgusting." Max muttered. He looked behind him and saw that Dusk was still following him, he wondered why Dusk followed him, or even lead him to this area in the first place. All he really needed to do is find a exit, he forgot where he came from so he can't really turn back now. 

An hour, one whole hour searching around this 'sewer'. Max sighed and looked behind him against the wall on the floor, to make sure it was clean enough for him to sit. 'Seems clean. Atleast that's what I think.'  Max sat down and Dusk sat on his lap. 

He smiled a bit and started petting Dusk a bit, and set his phone flashlight next to him, making sure that it lit up his area where he and Dusk sat. He then started to think about why he went in here, why life was so unfair, and where this sewer would take him.

Max got up, grabbed his phone and made sure Dusk was behind him. He continued walking, he was tired, and clumsy so he almost tripped, but thank God there was a pipe next to him to save him from falling. 'That—that was close..'  Dusk rubbed himself on Max's legs, making sure that he was okay. 

"I'm.. I'm fine." Max calmed down a bit more, and kept walking. Two hours now, it felt like a whole day had gone by. It smelled pretty horrible, and Max was getting a bit claustrophobic. He kept walking, and walking. Took a couple breaks, and sometimes sat down to rest with Dusk.

'Jesus Christ, how long has it been? It's been like a day or some shit. I'll probably come out looking like a zombie, in addition, smell like sewage water and rat shit. This just can't get any worse. Now that I said that I think it's going to get worse.'

Max sighed and kept walking, just the same thing he's been doing for the past two and a half hours. But something was different, the room became bigger. More spacious, and his walking path became wider. 'Wait, is this a different section? It looks bigger, and smells less worse, doesn't mean that it smells good though.'

Max looked around the area, it was in the shape of a circle, there was a lining around the water where you could stand on, which was where Max had been walking the whole time. There were four paths that met up in the middle of where Max was, the paths leading to—wherever the other paths lead. 

Max looked around, 'no more walking, I'm not doing this anymore. My legs are killing me and I think they'll snap right off if I take another step.'  Next thing he knew, Dusk started to meow really loudly, and starting to lightly hit Max's legs, confusing him even more. 

"what? Are you hungry..? Oh geez, I promise I-"  another mew interrupted him, Max sighed and got hit harder in the leg by Dusk. 'What does he what?' Max then sees Dusk pointing to his right. Max puts his phone higher, and flashes his phone light into the darkness to his right.

"What the...FUCK!" A large, 9 foot snake was racing towards him. Max jumped and fell in the water, 'shit. This is shit water, and I'm going to drown in shit water.'  

Max tried his best to swim up, but he didn't really know how to swim, plus, his legs were still aching so that didn't help. He looked down and saw that there was an entrance somewhere, in water? Yes. He looked in the entrance, there was water, but only half way up. Also, it was coincidentally big enough to fit him. Maybe being small wasn't so bad, he gained some energy and started to swim the the direction of the 'entrance'. 

He finally managed to fit in, and started to 'walk' in the water. His feet could touch the bottom of the pipe, and there was only water halfway on the pipe, so he could breathe. He then saw that the pipe lead to another passage somewhere. But what was strange is that, he saw light coming out of the passage. 

'Is that the outdoors? No, it can't. I'm way too deep underground, so why the hell are there lights there?'  Max walked a bit faster in the water, and finally got out. 'Disgusting.. oh well, I don't even know how the fuck I'm alive, so I guess I'm lucky?' 

Max finally got out of the pipe, and was met with the passageway leading somewhere. There were lanterns on the ceiling, which made it more strange. 'This is weird as fuck, and I hate it.' Max just followed the lanterns, and saw a iron door. He looked at the door, and analyzed it before touching it.

'Where the hell could this possibly lead to? What, is there some homeless people living in the damn sewers? How the hell would they get food? I don't even know anything anymore at this point..'   Max took a deep breath and opened the door, the door creaking open made it even more difficult for Max to be calm. He looked around which was a dungeon-like area. With those classic jail cells, and a table at the middle of the room. 'What the-'  BANG!   'WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?'  Max looked behind him to run, but the iron door closed right behind him. Even better, there was no knob to escape, only a keyhole, and he didn't have a key so that was great.

'I feel like I'm going to die. I'm going to die. I'm going to die, and I'll meet the devil once I'm in fucking hell. what is even going on...'  Max turned around, and told himself to be calm. He approached the table at the middle, and saw a series of weapons. Bloody weapons. 

Thump. Thump. Footsteps echoed through the dungeon. Max turned around swiftly, "w-who's there..?" Max could hear his blood racing, and his heart beating. He looked all around him in a blink of an eye, making sure that he wasn't crazy. A familiar voice called out to him in the shadows, "so... it seems that you've made it to the show~"
