mislead

[darkforaster]

I'm a big fan of horror stories. And my english teacher set us homework to write one. but unfortunately, it was so long i finished my english book, got another one, finished the story. Then lost the book. so now i only have the beggining. and your going to miss the most descriptive parts of the story.

 

 

 

~Mislead~

 

 

 

A sunny, bright day. Not a cloud in sight. And on a perfect day like this, a maze was opened to the public. But this maze was no ordinary maze, this maze was the largest maze in the UK. Not too far off London. But far enougth that the city life did not disturb the wildlife.

 

So the opening ceremony began and the humans were celebrating at thier creation. This may seem a bit far-fetched, but my words are as accurate as robin Hood's aim with a bow and arrow. Humans party over the most trivial things. Which has given the name 'ignorant' to them.

 

But, some say that ignorance is a form of blessing. As it may be better to keep horrors hidden away, than let loose.

 

The humans ignorance, in this case, was not a blessing, but a curse to all of them. It signalled thier doom and destruction. They were unaware of what was in thier maze. The maze they dreamed for. Unknowing of what was waiting for them. What was watching them. Mocking their very existence.

 

But this tale is not about these humans, or the creature lurking in the shadows of the maze. But about how this maze began the end of life on earth. But I, Destiny, who controls time and space an bend it to my will, is ignorant of what occurs.

 

But the 5 children is a fate I controlled. The story of them walking into the maze willingly. sacrificing thier lives. to try and help one whom was doomed....

 

Screams, a woman cries out from within the maze. the scream is folowed by a shriek. Umlike any other I've heard of. I go in and investigate, along with 4 others. Robert, Emily, Adam and my best friend Joe.

 

Nothing at the beggining of the maze, so we proceed, eager to help the one in distress. Green hedges everywhere, frustratingly similar, no way of telling if we're going in circles. all I see is green. Exhaustion kicks in, and i stop.

 

I realise we're lost. i know we are know in serious trouble. we have no map, no way of telling how to get out, and worse. the maze we are in is tremendous in size.

 

Adam, the most athletic in the group, continues. Only slightly tired. I ask him to stop, but he ignores me and continues down the path. he turns and curses. then runs past the corner, out of sight.

 

We turn to spot two skeletons, near each other. laying on the floor. In two ditches, which appear to lead to a tunnel of some sort. We continue to examine the remains as Rob pulls them out. We soon conclude that they were female. but were killed at different times.

 

As we look closer att he bodies, we see flesh tattered along the bones, as if the rest had been ripped off, forcefully and rapidly. Suddenly, I look round, unnerved by the discovery. Terrified of what was out there.

 

"Who, no, What killed these people?" Emily spoke slowly, but was trembling badly. fearing what could be the cause of these deaths.

 

"Well, it's not human. That's for sure." Rob pauses, he was clam. But there was doubt in his eyes. Not able to believe what happened. "Humans can't rip skin off like this. It just ... can't be done. And i know of no animal which can do this either."

 

Suddenly the words sink in, we have to escape. we have to report this to the authorities. Joe sets off, we follow close behind. NOt wanting to get lost in this maze of death.

 

Hours later, lost track of time. Dark now, no easy way to see ahead of us. Nonetheless we continue. Emily is still in shock. I'm worried about her. it doesn't seem like her.

 

We start to argue, simply because we have no other things to do. eventually, the riot get out of hand. I try to end it, quickly and forcefully. So I shout at the top of my lungs "SHUT UP!"

 

They immeadiately silence, but not of me. of a strange laughter in the background. It stops and i hear a curse. I squint, struggling to see with the precious light around me. A few feet ahead of us, two purple eye-shaped orbs float in nothingness.

 

The wind picks up, and the clouds blow across. And suddenly a strange thought crossed my mind- the maze was scared.- light beams from above, my eyesight adjusts and i see the figure.

 

He appears to be humanoid. And those with poor eyesight would mistake him to be human. BUt we have more advanced senses than that, and we clearly know that this being is not of human origin.

 

He has pitch black skin. And scales cover his body. The eyes are violet, and have no pupils. Just two eyes of violet, pure colour. He startled us as he approached, we instinctivly take a step back.

 

"I am a shade," He speaks darkly, and there's a tone of pity hidden in his voice. "Do not fear me, humans. As long as you do not flee, i will keep you alive."

 

Despite his warning, Emily breaks free of the group. Fleeing in sheer hope it would leave us alone. We turn to stop her, but we are too late. as we face shade again, he is gone. vanished without a trace.

 

A whimper from behind. We see shade standing over Emily, blocking her path. Moving incredibly fast. "You cannot eascape. You are human, therefore are dum. That is why you ignored my threat."

 

He touches her forehead. His finger glows then, Emily shrieks. She appears to be having a seizure of some sort. I see black lines running over her body, where hey blood capillaries should be. The fits stop, and she lay silent, not moving. The lines still racing round her body.

 

Rob rushes to her aid. To discover her dead. "What did you do to her? You monster." There were tears in his eyes. but his voice was filled with fear.

 

"I merely increased her yang, this extra evil energy overwhelmed the Tin. Her good side. Inevitably causing her death. As no human can survive without it. Another fact you've lurnt today. Making you that little bit smarter eh?" He laughs with pleasure and excitement.

 

Now that he's had the taste of death he won't stop. I run, Rob and the rest in toe. fleeing the creature. Wanting our lives to be spared.

 

The shriek erupts again. and I see a starnge worm like creature at war with the shade. "A demon?!" Cried the being, that's the last i heard of him at that time.

 

Still running, sorry that Emily died in such a manner, but life continues. and we have to move on.

 

 

 

~end~

 

 

 

Well, unfortunately the rest is lost. But what do you think about it. a rating out of 10 would be nice.
