Chapter 4 - The need to survive

Still laying in the water I make as little movement as I can attempting to look around the room without getting up from the water. From what I can see of the very dim inside of the cave it was ruff and rugged with holes,stalactites,crystals, mis colored rocks, and dirt. All placed sporadically as if the cave was made by someone or something not naturally. Standing up I realize the water is warm but the cave is cold making me wonder how the water was warm. Shifting my attention to the cave once again looking all around me I begin to observe the different types of herbs growing in the tiny bits of earth or cracks between rocks paying attention to how some are green with big flat broad leafs and curly branches. Others being brown or pink with small spiky leaves and straight stems. Unaware of what both were I left them be and continued my search throughout the cave investigating the other finds. Looking at the crystals I noticed they were the same colors as the ones I had in my bag only bigger and full Crystals not pebbles of them. I tried to break some off and take it but when I grabbed a decently sized rock to break it off but as soon as I hit the crystal the cave light up light making all kinds of symbols seeming like pictures or signs maybe even some letters staring at the light on the walls in able to move my of it watching the colors change from a bright Orange to a very dark blue making the signs become more clear. Almost able to understand what the walls where trying to say my heart falls to my foot as a loud booming scream echoed all across the cave resonating off the walls and what felt like attack my head . "CCHHHGWAAAAAAA" falling to my feet from fear I stumble up as fast as I can turning around and sprinting the other Direction glancing behind me now attempting to see what was making the noise behind me unable to see what it was only capable of hearing the foul creature chasing after me and the loud sounds of the ground being shifted behind me. I sprinted with full force putting ever inch and fiber of my being into each one of these steps reaching as far as my legs would let and attempting to search for more strength to let me move my legs faster with no avail. Not giving up knowing the second I slowed down that thing would catch up with me and devour me like nothing I screamed and screamed "RUUUUN LEGS DONT STOP I NEED TO SPEED UP I CANT SLOW DOWN RUUUUUUUUN!" Pumping my arms vigorously to keep my momentum I felt something. To my surprise my legs felt like they could keep running even though I've been full blood curdling screaming and sprinting with everything I could muster up it felt like I had just begun again. I attempted to speed up feeling like my legs could reach farther then before and like my legs where moving faster then ever before I lose all strength in my right leg as blood shoots out of my pours as if something was ringing my legs dry I collapse smashing my face violently and with all my weight against the rocky ground as my leg gives in to the pain. Blood and little lights now are covering my whole face including my eyes unable to feel more then the blood on my face I try to comprehend what just happened looking around to see why I stopped see my leg I knew I couldn't walk. Unable to feel the strength in my body I frantically look for a place to hide and save my self as blood slowly paints my body green dripping from every orifice on my face I see a pile of rocks and what looks like a crack in the cave wall. Crawling towards what felt like my only salvation unable to even lift my head fully I drag and cut my body as an attempt to hide from the beast as the thudding in the cave gets louder as well as more prominent becoming the only thing in my mind while I can't take my eye off the crack I reach for it grabbing the rocks rolling them off the pile I can't help but think that I don't have the strength for this that I'm gonna die even though it's still only been so little since I've realized that I'm actually alive wishing I could see the forest one last time even in it's wet land like layout now I muster up all my remaining strength to climb the pile of maybe 60 rocks about the size of my hands pulling my body onto the top of the rocks just to collapse over them into the crack unable to move I stared into the corner of the crack unable to do anything but wish I would be ok that I wouldn't be found that the crack would be small enough to stop it's tongue from prying me out from the only safe spot I have left. I hear it scream once again "CCCGGWWWWAAAAAAAAA" I close my eyes ready for it to start tearing at the crack reaching for what little life I have left I roll over as an attempt to at least see what monstrosity is going to end my short life but it didn't stop as I stare through the crack I see it sprint pass screaming once again "CCCCGGGGGWWWWWAAAAAA" unaware of why it didn't stop or what was going on I close my eyes trying not to die as I hear a strange language unable to tell what they where saying it just sounded like gibberish except one word "chase" I thought I knew that one after hearing this I knew that they where what I should have been afraid of the whole time. With no more strength I pass out with the hopes that I don't die and what/who ever they where would never find me.
