Mystery
The water was now up to his knees, struggling to make his way through the cellar he managed to face plant in the water. He felt his face prickling from the impact. He patted his face it felt numb.it's not like he did a 100 meter jump but still it hurt. He decided to continue walking, he's legs were tired after 20 minutes of exploring a cellar. Of course it would not have been a problem if half a meter of water was not flooding the whole place. But he was determined to see what this mysterious cellar was hiding so he did not stop. He walked towards a door, of course walked would not be a good adjective for this since he was nearly swimming. He tried pushing open the door kicking it but it would not open. The door was either locked or because of the water he could just not get it to open. He did not think anymore about it instead he decided to look for another room. He found another room the door must have broke of since it was no where to be seen. The water was now about a meter high so by now he was swimming. Then he realized the cellar will be completely filled with water in a matter of minutes. He was generally not best swimmer but you would not have known if you saw him in that moment. He's legs and arms moving faster then propellers on an airplane. Kicking and splashing as he went struggling to keep up the speed he started at he began to slow down. But he was still no where near the exit. As the water began to be higher and higher he started giving up. That's when he found another exit. He started to realize as he swam that this was not a cellar it was a bunker. It jut could not have been any bigger.

She....I....... I was running through the thick branches, pushing the leaves out of my way with all my might. I had to get away. The wet, brown, ground made it easier for me to slip and let her red, chilling hands slip around my innocent, scarred body, not knowing where she would take me next. I was almost out of breath, but I had to keep running if I wanted to make it out of this forest alive. My red dress was getting torn to shreds, and my hands and feet had mud all over them. My long, bushy brown hair was getting hooked on every possible branch, making me push my hair in the back of my dress, just like I used to when I was forced to cook everyday for my loathsome 'parents'. Returning back to the real world, I had to stop otherwise I would black out. I took a few seconds to catch my breath silently, and to look around to see if she was there behind me. I was looking up at the tall, old tree when I heard a twig snap behind me. Just like in the horror films. I turned and ran in the same direction, not daring to look back and see her wretched face fixed on my body. I sprinted and sprinted, but slowed down when I saw I was heading to nowhere but a ragged cliff. The unknown would me known if I continued to run and jump. I stopped two metres away from the cliff and looked down to see a valley so far down. If I jump..... I die. If I let her take me..... the unfair horribleness awaits me. I had no choice. I jumped.
