It's been hours or minutes, I don't know how to keep track of time here. The walls were moving reacting to the light from our wrist, they were moving slowly I don't know if Eria can see them. She has been quiet for a while, I don't know what's going on in her mind wish I could take a peek. Her eyes seem vacant like and partially opened. Is she hallucinating something? should I talk to her? Those thoughts clash inside my mind. Leaving her alone is probably the best option now,we seem to be going somewhere, not that we have any idea of where exactly and nothing bad has happened. Yeah this is good.

“Hmmm” Eria mumbled something, like she was answering someone. I looked at her and she still has the same expression, dead eyes and a blank expression.

“Eria?”

“What?” Those dead eyes looked at my direction, they look animated. Our hands are still locked together, and I don't know if it's possible for us switch place with another ‘thing’ because Eria is acting different than usual.

“You looked different, so I just… thought maybe hallucinating something..” A smile spread across her face similar to the one I saw than back on the bed.

“Oh, that just my thinking face. There's a lot going on in my head.” A lot of things going on in her head huh..

“Don't you also have things running around your head?” Why would she say that? Of course I do.. or maybe not. I'm not worried about this feather nor I care what it means. Dad? Maybe he's dead, that'll be good. Mom and Sara I do have them in my thoughts but a lot has been happening for me to drift back to that dream. If we are able to get out of here, what'll happen next? What'll they do with me. I guess those things are on my mind but not my main focus.

“Yeah, sure I guess.” I answered, there's probably a lot in her mind like what? I don't even know anything about her. She works at the same place as that man…

“Are you thinking about him?”

“Who?”

“The man, I don't know his name the one tried to throw me down here.” I can still remember the look on his face when he was about to toss me down here. No sign of remorse or whatsoever, my crying and begging didn't even get to him.

“His name is August.”

Stolen novel; please report.

“Not that I care”

“He probably left a bad impression of himself on you.”

“And I hope that's the last.” I said with my emotions quite visible on my face. Eria looked at me and a chuckle left her mouth.

“Well that's August's problem not mine.”

“So are you two- what's your relationship with him?” I wanted to ask if they were dating but I guess that's too direct and they do look like the ideal popular couple. Eria eyebrows moved together in a frown.

“He is my- wait that's rude of you to jump to assumptions.”

“Well I'm just…” well this has become awkward.

“Okay what's this hole?” I decided to change the topic.

“This is the pit of sin, it's pathway that sin flows to hell, you can say it's connected to hell and I heard if go deep and deep you'll eventually see the brimstone and fire.” Sin? Hell? If this is connected to the underworld , why are they using it to torment people?

“How did you guys even find something as terrifying as this?” It doesn't make sense, since that are working with angels and all that. Why are they still using the forces of evil.

“This was one of the craters form when the first one was throw out from the horizon, this hole in particular was formed from a fragment of his tail.” I don't even know what to say it felt so made up, like a cheap story.

“Looks like something out of a story book.”

“Yeah you could say that haha.” A dry laugh came out of her.

“See there's something I just figured out. We're probably not in the hole. We didn't fall inside it's just the edge of it.” She started saying something I can't make meaning out of.

“What do you mean?”

“See if we were truly at the hole, the amount of crazy visions that'll going through our head would have driven us insane the very minute we land here.”

“So what are you trying to say?”

“There's still hope for us.” Maybe she's right, nothing crazy as being happening. I wonder how far down we are…

“We are not that deep right?”

“Yeah”

I tried to look above us to see how far from the surface we are, but Eria grabbed my head and pulled it down.

“What are you doing! Those are things you just saw are damned souls one look at them and your soul is gone.” It was like clouds moving, the moment they came to my vision I felt a pull towards them. Could have been a goner right now.

“It's kind of boring right here, the way you guys hyped this place up I thought it'll be some kind of crazy hellish place.” Well that's came out wrong, because Eria had a distain expression on her face.

“It was jok—” The walls surrounding us started vibrating and the sound of barking came not too far behind us. It's was like a human barking, not dog or any kind of beast.

The beast or human, I don't know what type of creature it was, came charging at us. It had a head of a human and the body of a wild dog. It was moving at a tremendous speed towards us.

“Eria!” I shouted at Eria who had her eyes locked on the beast like she was waiting for specific moment to do something.

“Get behind me.” I did as she said and went behind her. I felt small behind her back even though we were the same height. The beast jumped at us and I closed my eyes anticipating the impact but nothing happened. Only the sound of the beast flesh hitting the ground at both sides of us. It was split into two by the thing that was emitting light on Eria hands. It was whip that was made out of light with gold flare coming out of it.

The whip faded away from her hands. Wow that looked so cool.

“Now that taken care of—” The wall around us started moving tiny particles forming something long it stretched thirty feet above us. The sound of barking increased and an army of those half human and half dog appeared moving at a great speed towards us. The long tendril that was forming on the wall sprout out four limbs and a head of snake it landed on the floor sending vibrations everywhere.

They where all coming at us with malicious intent, there's no way we can outrun them and still no way for us to beat them. I looked at Eria she was breathing heavily.

“Eria, what do w—”

“We are fucked”

We stood there while awaiting our impend

ing doom from the carnage spit out by the embodiment of darkness.
