Ragged, onyx rocks jutted out the slimy walls. My pearl white skin laced with ruby blood flashed in the pale torch light. Eerie, tortured screams echoed through the coal black tunnels. The sharp sound of claws ripping sodden earth came closer. The putrid smell of rotten flesh curled through the darkness. Pressing silence filled the sickening air. A darting motion scuttle to my right. I turned to see two toxic, emerald eyes dancing in the ebony darkness. Razor sharp, porcelain white teeth dripped scarlet blood. Terror tore at my racing heart. As the glistening torch beam died.
