"Imara!" I moaned in pain and felt my head. "Imara!" I dug into my pockets and pulled out my flashlight. I turned it on and shone it around. "Where am I?" Alister sighed in relief. "Why didn't you answer me? I thought you died." I was currently sitting in a half circle room that led only one way. "I don't know. There's only one path." I stood up expecting pain but my leg felt normal. I patted my arm and again everything was fine. "How long was I out?" I pointed my light into the tunnel. "A while." I started walking down the path. I heard the sounds of rattles and I eyed the ground. I'm not in the mood to be bitten by a snake. "Does it feel like I'm going the right way?" I felt a crunch under my foot and shivered. "Yes." I lifted my foot and …show more content…

I let out a loud oof as the air was knocked out of me. I spun around and started kicking my way back. Everything started to shake as I noticed what tripped me. A thin wire about mid calf high was strung from wall to wall. The bugs stopped and piled up like an invisible barrier stood in their way. "What the hell?" I got to my feet and tried to steady my balance as the shaking worsened. "What's happening?" I yelled out to Alister. I used my flashlight to gaze around. It wasn't until I looked up that I realized what was going on. "Um, the ceiling is slowly coming down!" Dread filled my entire body. I frantically searched the walls. In my panicked state, I almost missed the dial pad. Four feet from the ground three dials were protruding from the wall. "There's a password! What do I do?" I looked around again. There has to be some hint around these walls! "Uhh," I spoke as I put in three one one. I mean three walls, one door, and one path. That could be it? I was hit with a horrible no as the ceiling fastened it's descent. "Alister I can't figure it out!" My body started shaking. I'd rather be up there with the dogs than being crushed to death! "I'm sorry Imara but I can't remember it. I know it ends in zero." Okay, think Imara. The dogs! Maybe that has something to do with it. I mean they could've been protecting this …show more content…

Yea four dogs. So if it ends in zero and starts in four what is the middle number? Wait, it can't be what I think it is. I pushed the dials to the right number and the door popped back slightly. "Yes!" I shoved it as hard as I could and it slid open far enough to squeeze inside. I can't believe the password was four twenty. Who came up with that? I began coughing as a strong odor overwhelmed me. "What is that smell?" I took a step forward and I slipped. Whatever it was it was round and mushy. I slid down and off a mini-ledge. When I landed multiple snaps and cracks radiated around the space. I stood causing more cracks that sounded like twigs snapping. I shone my flashlight down and gasped. "It's bones!" Bones echoed around and was responded with a deep growl. "Not more dogs." I huffed out. I backed against the wall and tried to stay quiet. Loud thumps shook the ground. "Alister, what is down here that could be that big?" Light boomed in my direction. I squinted my eyes from how bright it was. When the flash died down I opened my eyes to a roaring path of burning flesh. Shadows of skulls and torn bodies danced the walls. The thumps grew closer. "I guess I'm about to find
