A intro to a story of mine.
She was trapped. No longer could she run, no longer could she try and escape. Her attacker had finally caught her. And she cannot explain how.
One minute she was running and gasping for breath, the next she was frozen to the spot, as she watched steel bars form around her. Rising from beneath the floorboards to form a perfect square cage around her.
Andrea's eyes widened in horror. How did that happen? How can a cage magically appear out of no where? Nothing made sence anymore.
But she had much more serious matter's to worry about. And that she was about to learn.
Suddenly the hall she was in went dark. Pitch black, and she could not see, until light shone down upon her. Like a spotlight. Only this time she wasn't on stage, there was no audiance, no props, no acting, everything was real.
A shiver went up and down her spine, and she could feel her whole body numb with fear, her eyes unable to close for she was too alert. The smell of rotten wood filled her sences and she began to feel naucious.
Thats when she heard foot steps. The sound was eerie and loud as they stomped on the floor boards making them creek noisily.They were also very slow, and seemed to drag on forever.
Until eventually, they stopped and a man stepped into the spotlight.
The sight of him caused Andrea to gasp. Black, there was no other way to discribe him. He looked like ink in the shape of a large man. He had no nose, no eyes,no face, or hair. He was just an outline.Arm's, legs', feet,hands and a head were his only features.
A wide gaping hole seemed to form in what she guessed would have been his face, and he spoke,
''Fire hear me, fire roar this human being shall live no more. Trespassed in my home they broke the zone between hell and earth there will no longer be mirth. Death to the one who causes disruption. Death to the one who interupts destruction,who ruins all corruption.Fire hear my plea, end this life incase it fleas.'' The mans voice was deep and rumbled as he did recite some sort of spell. One that terrified Andrea to the core.
The spotlight dissapeared, and once again she was thrown into darkness. She felt blinded as her eyes tried to ajust without light.
But after what was about to happen she would have preferred to spend all eternity alone in the dark. For suddenly fire burst up everywhere.
Vicious flames that shot up towards the roof and suurrounded andrea enitrely. Startled she fell back against the bars and pulled away quickly as they were boiling hot.
Even the ground she was standing on began to heat up. Sweat was already rolling down her face,arms and back.
''Help me please'' She tried to shout but all that came out was a croaking noise and she realised her throat was drying up from breathing in the smoke.
The smoke drifted around her like a veil, it stung her eyes and poisined her lungs.
When she coughed pain coursed through her body causing her to go into fits. Andrea collapsed in a heap on the ground. The heat burned her body but she was too weak to do anything.
''No this can't be the end'' Andrea thought desperately ''Someone help me'' But she knew she was going to die, the fire even thought could not penetrate the bars was burning everything else and the heat still reached her. It was like an angry monster teasing its prey before the final blow.
Regret was one of the mayjor things she felt, regret for entering this haunted house when her friends dared her to run and out. Only the door closed on her before she leave. Regret for not listening to her parents and staying at home. Regret for not standing up to herself when everyone called her a wuss.
She wished she could just go back in time and change everything. But all the wishing in the world wasn't going to help her now. This was the end and she knew it.
Across the room, the dark man stood. Watching gleefully at the pain and suffering his vitcim was in.
It would teach her a lesson for entering his home, one that only he rested in for many a decade. Now it was infested with human germs and he would have to burn them.
He charmed the fire to burn only the places the girl had touched.
Mordred hated humans, despised would be a more appropriate world.
To him they were liked disease infested rats that needed to be exterminated. Worthless scum. And now one dared to enter his home, but he set the trap and caught it easily. Showing how stupid humans really are.
He began to laugh as the girl screamed out in pain, revenge was a dish best served cold but in this case served hot. Very hot. And Mordred was loving every minute of it.
He read the girls mind she was calling out for help,
''Help me...help me'' Andrea thought weakly and her eyes closed. She was begining to die, or just fall unconcious, she was not shure which.
Just when all hope was lost and she gave up the fight a voice called out
''I will save you'' it said and Andrea smiled feeling some peace before everthing turned dark again and her world ended.
