The Trials-4-My thoughts

I had walked into the same hallway I believed to have left. There must be something different, I thought to my self. I checked every single crack in the room... I thought 'there must be something different here' but everything was the same.

…

The piercing silence echoed and thundered through the halls in which I stood. -Maybe, I am the problem, maybe I did not remember everything in the last hallway-. I quickly moved to another door, I opened it. stepped inside. Yet the same hallway again. I moved to another door, the same hallway, another door, same hallway, another door same hallway,another door, the same hallway, another door, same hallway, another door ,same hallway, another door, the same hallway, another door, same hallway, another door, same hallway , another door, the same hallway, another door, same hallway, another door. THE. SAME. DAMN.HALLWAY.

For some reason, I just cannot think properly, why? -Because I am a failure, a laughable pawn in a world in which I have no belonging-

In the midst of my thoughts, something small and quick scurried into the darkness of the end of the hallway, I moved my pupils to try and focus on what moved into the shadows. -What was it?-

-It is trying to kill me-

-They are all trying to kill me-

Who are "they"?

-The walls-

-They are laughing at me, They all hate me-

- IM GOING TO DIE-

my body started to shake, the world felt like it would collapse any minute now with me in the centre of it. There is no way walls can kill me right?

-What if its something worse-

Worse? What could be worse???

-What if I am stuck here for the rest of my life-

No.. There has to be a way out right???

-What if that thing in the shadows comes back-

What was it? Was there even anything there? Did my vision fail me????

-IM weak I have no weapon-

How should I protect myself?????

-I'm scared, I'm weak, I miss my grandpa, Why did he have to leave me alone-

Why am I alone? What did I do to deserve this??????

-I hate him anyway, I Despise him-

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Suddenly my thoughts clicked into place. My body stopped shaking...

Wow if my grandpa saw me now he would probably be disappointed. Letting these silly mind games get to me. How pathetic. I love my Grandpa, so the chances of these being my true thoughts are slim to none. Now, time to deal with this. I walked towards the darkness near the end of the corridor, making it seem as if the corridor is endless.

-Stop! I might die, It is still there-

The thoughts still raged on in my head, quite an annoyance, but I just crammed them into the back of my head, so it wouldn't distract me as much. I clenched my fists, pulled back, and released the punch straight into the darkness, I followed through with my punch and reality itself shattered as I was brought back to the same nostalgic darkness. I once again returned to the Colosseum. Feeling the satisfying weight of the glaive in my hands and I let out a smile. I quickly spun the blade vertically so that the blade was facing behind me and launched it.

The hands holding onto the back of my head belonged to a wraith, a ghost that seemed to have no legs and was draped in a dark blue cloak.

Hmm, Does sound a lot more straightforward than the others.

In the middle of my thoughts, the ground 10 metres in front of me started to split open in the shape of a small square. From that square rose a crucifix which held a man impaled on it by his hands and tied by his feet. It seems I must kill this man in order to proceed...

I walked back to where my spear had landed from me launching it and picked it up. I turned towards the man again and swung my glaive.

The ropes holding his feet easily cut off, before all the weight could be placed on his arms from being held up by just the nails, I cut the wood surrounding his arm so when the weight was placed on his arms, the wood would easily snap and he would come down. His landing was softened by the sand in the Colosseum as the shock of it woke him up. He looked me in the eyes as it seemed his will to live had disappeared, "What is your name?" I asked in hopes that he could understand me.

*sigh* " Never mind it seems I hoped too mu.."

"Cain" He interrupted

"Oh, so it seems you can speak?"

"Please...Kill me" A weak unexpected reply came

"I see, So tell me first and then I shall grant your request...Why do you want to die?"

"They took everything...MY WIFE, MY KIDS, MY LIFE... THEY. TOOK. IT CURSE THEM.....CURSE THEM TO THE PITS OF THE EVERLASTING HELL" His dried throat shook with resentment

"Who are they?"

"They????? Of course, you would not know, the wretched, the cruel, the merciless and the vile. They are the rulers of this place, the 'oh so mighty' superior beings that govern thi....."

[Foolish Lower lifeform! You dare defile the name of those scared?]

Ah I was half expecting you to cut in some time around now

Chains pierced through the ground as they wrapped around his mouth, stopping him from speaking completely

"Kill m...GURHHH"

[Complete Your Mission... as you are meant to do]

"Very well I understand to the reason that you wish die for... As per our agreement, I shall grant that request"

SHHNG!

My blade ripped through the air as the man entered, what I hoped it to be, a peaceful slumber.

Do I feel regret for what I just did? No..why should I? An action I committed on purpose or on accident is still an action that I have committed, for what reason should I regret it?

[Slow! However, it is acceptable]
