FEAR

A delicious shiver vibrated through my body from the energy that sizzled the air around me.

I clutched my chest and took deep breaths as the buzzing in my mind along with the pounding inside my head subsidied.

When I was back to myself again realisation dawned on me about what I had just done.The voice that cut through my senses was quite now , not even a trace of it remained but I knew it was real , I had felt the intensity of it's words which was the only proof I needed to know that it wasn't just my mind playing tricks , all of it was real even when I.....I..even thinking about it made fear crawl my mind but what was scarier was the deep thrill of satisfaction and excitement that  rushed through me when I burned those voices with nothing but my mind .

Maybe they weren't wrong about me being not human , cause what I just did was not something a human could do. This knowledge made my mind to open up it's deepest part , a void I had stopped trying to figure out  long ago , the past I had forgotten ,which might tell who I was or rather what I was and now the void became deeper and darker making it's presence painfully aware .

The hallway ended at the entrance into a tunnel which was eerier than the hallway. My footsteps echoed louder and a continuous dripping of water broke the silence of the tunnel.

The thread of light from the crevices became wider as I ventured deeper into the tunnel.

My heart raced with each step I took.This wasn't like any other mission ,it could be both my sister's salvation and doom depending on me.If the suspicions of the king about the duke was true this would become messier .

It was too late when I realized my mistake ,my distracted mind failed to notice the suspiciously high rock among the others on the floor.

There was a click.I sucked in a lung full air as the floor beneath me disappeared and I tumbled down.

I fell down with a yelp , landing on my butt. My hands scraped against the uneven ground , tearing my skin filling the air with the metallic tang of blood.

After scanning my surrounding for any immediate threat , I found myself in sort of a dungeon .

Why would a duke's manor has a dungeon.Of course unless he has something to hide.

If the tunnel was earie ,then this was ten times worse .The walls were completely made of thick stones probably to keep the voices from escaping while whatever was done here , judging from the number of cells on either side of it was sure nothing good.The cells seemed endless as far as I could see .

With daggers in both hands I went deeper , passing cell by cell most of them were empty except for a few which were occupied by bones and other remnants that I did not want to imagine.

I waded through the webbed floor.The dungeon was filled with an unerthly silence it even swallowed up the tap of my boots , the kind of silence that wasn't natural at all.

As I passed a good number of cells I noticed that the cells were different from the initial ones.These cell's iron rods were thicker than normal and when I took a closer look at one of the cell ,the shackles I found inside to chain the prisoner was thicker , stronger and ferocious than the normal ones , it even had iron spikes which will bury itself in your skin if you try to yank it while shackled.At an even closer look I even saw blood on the iron.whoever was unfortunate enough to be in them.

Then the stench hit me .The early dinner I had threatened to come out.It smelt like rotting flesh .I struggled a few more seconds to keep the contents of my stomach and started forward covering the bottom of my face.

A throaty growl cut through the silence making me go still,it was followed by another and another and then it bacame a chorus of growls that definitely wasn't humane . What were they trying to keep inside.Some of the growls turned to wails .I willed my body to move forward but my body refuced.

This was beyond what I had thought , this wasn't just a collaboration with the rebels it was way beyond and what I felt in the hallway and now this .I didn't know what I was dealing with though I had to find out.

Whatever I had experienced after coming here wouldn't be termed normal.Maybe this world wasn't as normal as I had thought there was much more to it that I did not know , a sudden thought arose in me , or you were kept in the dark.

I remembered the voice and the void , there was a part of me I didn't know.Well only one way to find out.

I stepped infront of a cell and peered inside , my breath caught in my throat.    I stared at it with my body completely paralyzed by pure strangling fear.

No way...........
