My steps squished into the muddy floor, the air felt moist against my skin. “What the hell is that..” I turn to Claire, her confused face looking towards a tunnel, covered in leaves and vines. “Uh… I’m not sure…” my voice sounds out of breath from the hike, but i try to keep it as steady as possible. I continue walking cautiously towards the abise, hearing claire’s footsteps behind me. The closer we get the more musty it smells, like wet dirt and stale rain, I stop myself from cringing at the smell. Nothing it jumping out at me yet, that’s at least a good sign. Reaching the tunnels entryway my steps stop, turning towards claire I give her one last shrug of uncertainty and continue on. The silence is defining, the smell even worse. Wherever this tunnel lead, it definitely hadn’t been used in a while. The grass overgrown, the mud covering my old shoes. The farther I go the less O can see, my eyes straining. “Claire…” I turn but her bright blonde hair and bright eyes are no where to be seen. My blood runs cold, my heart rate picking up. “Claire.. CLAIRE!”. Nothing but utter silence fills my ear, my heart beating against my chest and skin burning with sweat. She’s gone, and my mind races with the possibilities of the darkness ahead, no one behind me to watch my back or help me in danger. I slowly begin my steps again, legs wobbling. A dark, horrible scream stops me as quick as I start.
