Chapter 5 - Run

In an eerie dimly lit cave spanning a few ft in width bursts a small fragmant of light

It was as though the light was a miniature blackhole in of itself that sucked everything into it

Small rocks and dust within the cave began to fly and revolve around the small fragment.

To an outsider the light would seem like an embodiment of peace itself, its angelic presence soothing to all

As time seemed to standstill, the fragment began to gently grow a few inches, as blue waves of essense continue to revolve around its surface

It was then in an abrupt moment, the once blue peaceful waves around the light began to darken

Cracks began to show themselves around the small fragment

Accompanied by eerie screeching sounds, the angelic presence of the fragment now turned dark

The sounds coming from the orb echoed accross the cave, the gentle flow of its essense now replaced by eerie screams that grew louder with every passing second.

As the screams from the fragment echoed, a robotic voice suddenly overlapped alongside it

[Initating • • • •]

The screams grew larger,

SCREETCHING intensified as the robotic voice weakened

The cave became chaotic as the fragment released bursts of energy that seemed to slice the walls of the cave surrounding it

The sounds grew even louder untill it suddenly came into a halt

The cave became silent, but a few seconds passed that it seemed like it was only the calm before the storm

rocks and dirt in the cave began to fly faster into the fragment

the sunction became much stronger that mere movement of air in itself became audible

The sunction grew much stronger sucking everything into it untill the fragment...

Disappeared

But the space of where it has been became contorted as though there was blur at the center of the cave.

The air around the space intensified untill in an abrupt and instantly it was replaced by a creature.

It looked human

...

...

...

The man growled as he stretched his body on what feels like open ground

It hurts....

Rocks scratched the surface of his skin as the man stretched out his body

But he can feel it as the presence of his arms, legs and body began to connect themselves with his consciousness.

But it remained dark

In a gentle motion he opened his eyes

He can finally see

But the man remained terrified, too much has happened in a short ammount of time,

With a confused and cautious gaze he glanced over.

Is this a cave ?

The cave seemed to be dimly lit by the torches attached to its walls seperated by a few ft in distance after the other

The man took his time organizing his thoughts as he sensed something of a wet substance falling into his shoulders.

He moved his arm slowly to touch it.

Water?

He took his time standing up and shifted his gaze above.

Above his head lies of what seemes to be metal rods

It was too dark to see what ms inside

Water continued to pour from whats within.

The mans senses tingled

He took a few steps back

The silence of the cave echoed like beating drum inside his mind

Amidsts his remuneration, a light suddenly bursted infront of his eyes

[Survive]

[Time: 00:00:10]

The man did not respond

[Time: 00:00:09]

Of what seemed to be a countdown continued to go lower

[Time: 00:00:08]

Time continued to move

[Time: 00:00:07]

The wet substance from the roof continued to fall

[Time: 00:00:06]

The man is agitated, his gaze was at a ablaze, his vision constantly shifting from the substance and the countdown

[Time: 00:00:05]

Sweat slowly trickled down his face, his breath agape

[Time: 00:00:04]

With the timer getting closer to its end, the man shifted his body back and proceeded to run

[Time: 00:00:03]

The silence of the cave made his breath even louder, one can almost hear the desperation from the sounds that echo with every step

[Time: 00:00:02]

He did not know what was beyond those bars nor what would happen once the timer ended

[Time: 00:00:01]

He would not wait to know

[Time: 00:00:00]

As the timer ended, the bars that once attached themselves of what seemed to be a cage, have now fallen

[Survive]

And once again the robotic voice echoed.
