This is a story of a small group of friends confronting a monster that feeds on there fear |
I don't want to recall the experience but people need to know. It happened a couple years back me and five of my friends were having some fun goofing off and messing around. We heard stories that a monster lived deep inside the caves at the edge of town past the forest that was said to suck the life out of those who entered. At first we thought this all plain folklore that mothers told there children to keep them out of those caves. We were never so wrong before. While in the forest me and my best friend Mike thought to go down the trail and set a prank up but Sarah and John caught us before we even began. While Sarah was gossiping with Anna, who was the only other girl with us, I thought I saw something in a behind a bush at first I thought it was a rabbit or some other forest creature I decided to shrug it off and march forward. We were about half way to the cave when we saw it, it seemed to be a man carving something in the tree but in a blink off an eye he was gone we all saw him even though none of us admitted it we were all scared though none of admitted to it, I decided to look at what the man carved into the tree it was a waring and it said "Don't enter the cave it is a plain of hell... Leave while you still can." I thought this was all some prank John was pulling but he was with us the whole time, but I knew danger awaited us but I my mouth wouldn't open and my legs seemed to move on their own what hell is awaiting us in this cave. Ounce we reached the cave Mike was the first one to go down then Sara came darting after him, then Anna chased after Sara then me and John just looked at each other with a blank look then he said "Did you read that message? Because I couldn't my body wouldn't let me for some reason but I saw you looking at it, please tell me what did it say." But right that second I forgot I told him it was gibberish then with a sigh of relief we caught up with the others. We walked down miles of stony paths winding deeper into the core of the earth itself. Then we saw it. It seemed like a door but there were markings all over it. One looked like a star another one looked like a man and another was three lines a bit like a claw mark but it was to deep for any animal any of us have ever seen or heard about. Then there was a bit of an earthquake and the tunnel behind us collapsed and the only thing I saw was the door it gave off a Erie glow yet it was the only place any of us could go. Ounce I opened the door I blacked out. Ounce I got up from the surprise nap I looked around I wasn't in the tunnel any more and the door was no where in sight but there was a message I couldn't read it but the closer I got to it I realized it was written a series of scratch marks on it. I wanted to read it but I was too afraid that it was going to be like the last one. After surveying the room I noticed a lever rusted stuck. After a few kicks I knocked it lose then there was a creaking noise from behind me. A trap door opened. After leaving the room a hallway greeted me and when I look down the hall I could of swore I saw a man run down the hall I cried out to him but he kept running then I saw why. It was a girl around five years old she was covered in blood. She shouted "WHY DID YOU KILL ME DADDY WHY DADDY WHY!" I just backed away I never saw this man before but I knew he needed help but ounce I ran to that part of the hall there was nothing there but two skeletons. Then I heard a P.A. "Shame shame to the man who kills. Shame shame to those who lie. Shame shame shame." I thought I heard crying a cry I thought I would never have to hear again. I just ran in tears. Then I saw John in a corner chanting something "John! I thought you were dead! John are you ok?" "Shame shame to those who mock shame shame to those who torture shame shame shame." I just backed away from this husk of what use to be my best friend then I saw a another person but instead of being covered in blood like the last one she just had a rope with a not and she use to be a classmate until she hung herself. " WHY JOHN WHY DID YOU KILL ME WHY!" "JOHN snap out of it you now that you didn't do anything she killed herself and you now that! Now snap out of it!" That somewhat did it he stopped chanting and just looked at me angrily and spat in my face. "Alex you know if I didn't make that dumb joke she wouldn't of killed herself." "No John she made her decision you can make you're own now get up. NOW!" He did but he ran towards her grabbed the rope and killed himself them she screamed "Don't die yet John you still need to feel the pain the pain that you gave me." Then she just ran off I thought John was dead but when I looked again I saw him struggling. I tried running after her but she was to fast. Then I was alone again then I walked down a series of corridors with locked doors all bent and scratched then one was in perfect condition and there was a sign on it it said "Project Revenge number 50" the letters and number re and 50 were highlighted with blood then I heard a voice from behind "shame isn't it humanity just runs in circles trying to kill each other. Have seen anyone else yet young man? Because if you have I bet you heard that chant." The man behind was considerably handsome tall with a smooth face and a calm expression his eyes were the color of the bark of an ancient oak tree, his cheeks were bony, and his hair was white but while his hair made him seem older his build made seem around his mid twenties. "I'm so glad to see another living human being down here me and a couple of friends came down here and now one if dead and I can't find the others." I told the tall stranger "Ha jumping to conclusions but never mind. I never introduced myself call me Relief. What is you're name young man." At first I was stunned that a person would think introductions were important at a time like this and a man could have a strange name but I told him mine anyway. "Alex. My name is Alex." Relief smiled kindly down at me and said "Alex like Alexander the Great conquer of the Mediterranean Sea. What a wonderful name. Well I hope to see you soon oh and look out for my brother he can get upset easily at times. Goodbye." In shock I just stood there. Ounce he was gone I tried to open the door and to my surprise it opened with little effort. Ounce inside I found a folder with a confidential stamp on it. I opened it any way. Inside I found this lab reportLab report day 135 report 89 The subject gets worse every day he seems to know when we enter the room and looks a the one way window and just stares at us it scares me I told the others that we should let him have some fresh air but when I said that they seemed only to be in a trance they were all looking in the boys eyes crying not in joy or sorrow but in fear then they fell over one by one. His powers have grown quickly I need to stop this now. Final report Tonight I poisoned his food but that just made him angry and he shouted and looked right at me ever since then I have had thoughts of killing myself all the others are dead are going to die. We trie gassing him but that brat found a gas mask I hear him opening the door this is my final re the last part was never finished I saw the room the man was talking about all that was in there was a bed and toys lying on the ground. Once I left the room I heard a series of heavy foot steps they were getting closer then tall man turned the corner he was wearing a gas mask that looked stitched to his body the glass where the eye holes were missing and I saw his eyes. They were the color of a burnt out embers just two deadly eyes staring at me they were not looking into my soul but it seemed they were probing it shifting endlessly looking at one part of me then another. He seemed to be wearing a brown sackcloth shirt and on his chest was the word SORE cut into his shirt. His hands were blood soaked claws and he was wearing two heavy boots. He began to walk towards me he. I did the one thing I could do I ran away from this monster. Then the speakers starting screaching. "ALEX WHERE ARE I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT NIGHT WHEN YOU KILLED ME!" No not here anyone but her she. She was long dead I saw her die infront of my own eyes. Why was she here? Why! "Elsa is that you?" I cried out weakly "Little brother where are you don't you want to play like we use to?" I couldn't believe this how could this be happening and why here of all places. This wasn't real it just couldn't she died I saw her DIE! Elsa my big sister died when I was little because she saved me from drowning from that frozen lake and she caught hypothermia. I killed her. I killed my sister my only sibling. It was all my fault. If I didn't stomp on that lake she would still be alive. NO! This is what killed John I can't end up like him. I marched forward knowing I was being hunted. After walking for what seemed like days I found a lifeless Mike holding what seemed like a love letter. "Mike not you to. Wait where is Sarah? SARAH are you here!?" I shouted into the dark halls of this labyrinth we had entered, but to no avail. Then I saw Anna. "Alex please don't tell me you have gone crazy to." "Well Anna you always called me crazy before." "Very funny Alex. I saw Sarah earlier she was crazy. She was mumbling some song then she ran off." "Well I found John earlier and he was crazy as well. But then I saw Emma kill him." "EMMA! She died last month!" "I know but she was alive and she was caring a rope and dragged John off before my eyes." "Oh I'm sorry." "Then I saw two other people. Well I think the other one was human. He was like a monster." Prepare for more |
