Chapter 13 - []Conƒined

As I was going through the corridors the spiders were flowing out of each and every door I see.

The scene was truly horrible, but I had to keep running.

But unfortunately soon enough I realized that I was in a maze, it doesn't matter where I go it always led me to the entity of spiders.

I turned away from another dead end but my time is at it last breathes, as I saw the light of the afternoon dimming.

I kept going downstairs but I find myself at the second floor.

Specificly after each ten seconds the next turn or the next corridor will always connect to the first spot.

But I never was fast enough to reach the exit in less than ten seconds, more over the windows are useless, jumping through a window only takes me back to point zero.

And every door I opened only had a room full of bones and skeletons.

After exhausting myself, I stopped to take a breath.

But the corridors of this mansion began to turn dark, with no lights it was easy to make it very dark.

...but as the hallway are turning dimmer and darker... ethereal entities started glowing.

The walls and the floor both glowing with glowing stains of... blood, or is it.

It was as if it recorded every stain of blood that was shed on its wood and now is displaying it with a dark glow.

I gritted my teeth, well... it was scary but not as much as the possible consequences of staying here till sunset.

I ignored the ghosts of the victims and took off running.

Obviously my next turn will lead me to her, and as I turned through a corner there it was with thousands of spiders covering the wood with a black shining color.

I turned away and rushed to the best route to exit.

As I was running, skeletal hands rose tearing through the wooden floor trying to grasp my feet.

Thank God I was great at jumping otherwise...

Landing on one of the hands from the best angle possible, I stepped on the unlucky hand and kept running.

And through the corridors I had to make another turn, it always take a second out of the ten seconds count.

WHAT?!... I was surprised to see the wooden corridor leads me to a dark ethereal emptiness, reminds me of the vacuum of space.

I had to take another turn but my ten seconds already going to run out, thus I chose to take a breath first...

I don't know why but this empty darkness thar enveloped the wooden corridor captured my attention, maybe just maybe it's an illusion.

A drop of sweat ran down my face as I was gazing upon the abyss.

But the abyss didn't gaze back...

Somehow this was a good sign.

Loneliness meant safety and I'll bet my life on this slim chance, especially since the light is drowning and the darkness is covering the sky, with the sunset.

I jumped through the darkness... and felt nothing saw nothing heard nothing smelled nothing, it was true emptiness...

A second felt like a whole minute, but that's all it was, just a second.

Then I found myself falling to hit the wooden stairs! Wait stairs!!

My body started rolling down the massive stairs, until I reached the floor.

I stood up as I understood where I was.

In front of me is the front gates but the time is already up, I had to run now.

Rushing towards the front door, I felt a weird sensation just to realize the tens of spiders that are falling on me from the ceiling.

Trying to throw them off of myself was futile with no avail.

I had to endure it, as I was running towards the front door, then at least twenty skeletal hands peirce through the wooden floor Trying to block the front gate.

Smoke was rising with them.

My instinct gave me only one possible choice, At the last second I jumped over the bone blockade.

And broke through the very old and un'locked' rusty gate as I slammed through it, tearing some injuries through my skin I fell to the hard ground of wooden stairs but not close enough to roll down them.

The front gate open more than it broke, and I already knew that it had no lock.

As I rose on my injured hands lifting my face off the cold wood, I looked back just to see a ghosty little girl with no presence except for a smock-like body.

The ghost spoke-

"Sigh... will, at least I got a little snack"

Her voice had infinite echoes each one darker and more unhuman than the other revealing her true nature, she was no mere little ghost.

Then she disappeared into nothingness, and the front gates slammed closer by themselves.

I was rather confused what she meant when she said, "got a little snack" ?

Until I saw something that stopped my heart for an entire second, my face turned blue-ish as I looked down.

As I laid my eyes on my feet, I saw that I was missing my two legs cut off from slightly ubove the knees.

There were no bleeding only... a smocky silhouettes of ghostly legs that looked like film ghost body depictions.

Thus now my legs are mere ghosts, literally.

With this horrible incident I was too shocked to think of my next step.

What should I do now, could I even survive anymore?
