The Key Of The End

The Chase For The Key Part 1

The air was cold and gloomy, sweat appearing on my body from the fear inside of me. I could still hear the thing at the bottom still eating, the sound of crunching bones, this time it was louder like it was playing with its food, the sounds of objects or in this case body parts hitting the side of the cave. I still couldn't see what it looked like but by the sounds that it was making I knew it wasn't human which wasn't a surprise nothing was in this place. I had a quick glance around to see where I would first climb. The main part of the place was the ledges to get up the next level of the cave, to go higher, to go further along to the goal that needed to be achieved. The blood stains on the walls were smeared on different places, some seemed slashed against the wall like a murder scene, like a murderous husband killing his wife, slicing her  neck to cause bursts of blood to hit the side of the walls. This case was the same but much gorier, instead of it being a neck I was guessing it were the whole body. I started up the first ledge which was more near to me it didn't look sturdy but it seemed to hold my weight which was a relief for myself conscious knowing I wouldn't be falling off. Hopefully. I have always been a good climber much better than my sister who used to fall down everything but in this case I don't think I'd be that good but I was doing well so far. On the third ledge it led me to a circular path which meant I had to sneak around without making any noise, this seemed really difficult due to the ice on the floor making it hard for me not to slip, the creaks of the ice also nearly gave my location away plenty of times, which was when I saw the worst part of the task, the crevasse in the middle of the floor did not help the situation of me needing to be quiet, it wasn't too big but the jump still would make a noise I didn't know how I was going to do it "Shit" I whispered to myself hoping this was going to be an easy grab. I needed to jump the crevasse to get to the other side and this made me shit scared. I could feel my legs turn to jelly but I also felt the adrenaline running knowing that there was a creature down below that enjoyed human flesh, one jump is all it took but I couldn't bring myself to do it even for me, Jasmine and Lindsey to get out of here but then again all it took was one bit of noise and that thing will be having another snack. I stared for a while deciding what to do to get over the crevasse, I looked down at the thing at the bottom, it was still munching on a bone seeing the teeth crunching on the thigh of a human, It looked aggressive, always angry even though it was satisfying its stomach. I started to walk backwards getting ready to run for the jump trying not to startle the thing below, I ran as quietly as I could ready to jump. My heart was racing but the adrenaline was helping me get through this moment. I kept looking around seeing whether I could see that creature, my breathing became heavy as my feet were pacing forward, the crevasse was getting closer and closer, when I finally saw the crevasse near my feet, I jumped landing on my ass. I crawled to the edge looking down to see whether the noise attracted the attention of the creature. It was now lying down, its eyes shut lying over the bones of its victims. I breathed out in relief now knowing that the worst was over. I stood my legs becoming wobbly from the fright I had before, I started to walk when I heard the creek of the ice. I looked up seeing an Icicle above me it was wobbling. "Don't, drop god damn don't drop" I whispered to myself for some reason I couldn't move I was just looking at the icicle on the ceiling pleading that it was not going to fall, my eyes were stinging with pain as I could not blink from the panic I felt inside waiting for the worst to happen. It was now slowing down which was when I breathed in relief once again, my head was forming sweat while my breathing was slowing down. I turned to walk on towards the other edge which was when I heard the smash on the floor and the roar from the thing below.
