Labyrinth

I walked in a bony path, not wearing a sandals to keep my feet away from hurt. Keeping my eyes closed in act of fearing to see something through the dark shadows surrounding me. As I opened my eyes, coldness passing through my white thin night dress and black thin hair is dancing as the breeze plays them.

"Its cold" I said with my arms across and rubbing them to warm myself from the coldness of this unknown dark indescribable place.

"Where am i? Why am i he--" i paused in a few moment, a huge thing blocking in front of me in a dark place was seen by my blurry eyes.

"What is this.." as I squint my eyes, it started to slowly adjust in the pitch black to see the real image of something in front of me. A huge massive door between these gigantic brick wall aside.

"Grrhhhhh Aahhh" its growl was sharp and rough as I ever heard.

Out of curiosity, I slowly moved towards the source of that sound. The sound is getting clearer now.

"rrruuunnn, ruun youung ladyy"

He said with his sharp voice and screaming in pain.

Completely defeated by the darkness of the place, my back touched the rock wall to keep me walking without stumbling on anything before me.

"Who are you?" I shouted to nowhere

"Ruun Rosalind--"...He paused, so silent. All I hear now is a dragging chain coming towards my way.

/ssk, ssk/ the sound is getting louder and louder.

Fearing for my life, I ran and ran into nowhere. I ran.. /huff huff huff/ i stopped thinking that I'm in safer place, away from that horrific sound.

/ssk ssk/ but I heard it again, like two step forward will be my death's day.

I can feel my heart about to explode when my shaking hands covered my mouth to hide the noise of my heavy breathing. The suspense of the noise drawing near me, i felt as though my heart will be heard, i clutched my chest wishing it would lessen the noise of my rapidly beating heart.

A reflection of a light from a fire drawn onto the stone suddenly came from my backside. The shadow of a tall man figure was reflected on the rock walls.

My eyes widened and jaw dropped open as my head turned to look at my back.

Seeing a bull-headed with human body in one persona standing right in front of me, so close that I can smell his foul breath, holding a torch where the light came from. He has broken chains in his belly, a stoned triceps and muscles around his human body, and a damaged handcuff around his wrists. He only wears a cloth that perfectly fits to hide his down thing. I wanted to scream for my dear life but no sound was released.

He looked in to my eyes deeply without saying anything as if he is mute.

A growling writhing scream echoed on the stonewalls, but his lips did not move a bit, as if he's in my head screaming in agony saying " RUNN YOUNG LADY ".

And so, I turned my back at the creature and ran through the darkness of this place, until the light from his torch slowly disappeared from my sight.

My feet moved on their own and continued to race hoping to find a light out.

But there was nowhere light to run to. As i ran, I can felt myself changing from human to a two short-horned man, hairy faced monster.

My feet wandered as if my feet kept going on circles in this tunnel, until my legs weaken, but my muscles were toned from running. It felt so long that i forgot how to live, how to eat and what water felt like in my mouth. I was inhumane.

And saw this young lady wandering around like i was before. I warned her, not to roam around in this terrible place, but my lips were so dry, and there was only so few words I could manage to speak

"run, young lady" and my feet finally stopped from running, as i saw her ran in the shadows.
