Chapter I
Screams of agony filled the massive, empty grounds. He pressed his hands over his ears and squeezed his eyes shut. He desperately wished he could block out their pained cries. To make matters worse, the bell started ringing. It felt like the world was shaking around him.
He could spot the crawling figures before him. Their pleads for salvation and redemption echoing through his head. Each step was slow, his whole body heavy, he felt like he was a walking dead. He just could not bring himself to move any faster towards their screams and droning.
But yet, despite the fear growing in his abdomen, his feet continued to lead him forwards. The ground beneath his feet grew darker, darkening to a pitch black. For some reason, he felt relieved; yet at the same time, it caused the fear to grow. He walked closer, and yet closer to whatever creatures was hidden in the dark. Dread seemed to spread itself to every vein in his body, yet he could not turn away.
The previously black ground was lightening to a grey. He could even see now, which thinking of his situation, wasn't so good. If he could see his hand in front of him, chances were he would be able to see the creatures too.
There. He could see some movements just in front of him. The bells were ringing louder now. The terrible sounds of agony emitted from the creatures stronger than ever. His stomach gave a strong lurch.
He could see them now… Oh god, he could see them now.
