The Castle of True Beginnings

"Huff huff"-loud breathing was coming out of my mouth as I ran past the never-ending hallways.

"DAMN IT"-I let out a scream of defeat.

The only thing keeping me alive right now was the thought of leaving my little brothers alone. Running, I felt my heart palpitating at a frightening rate.

My feet were giving in. "My heart will burst at this rate," I said to myself in a husky voice tempered by the sheer amount of running that I had done at that point.

"HELP HEELP PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF THERE IS ONE AT THIS POINT, HELP ME, YOU BASTARD" My throat hurts from the screams that I constantly let out, hoping that at one point somebody would hear even though I was alone in this godforsaken castle.

With no options left, I had resorted to something so stupid that even an amateur would not do.

I could hear them approaching me with velocity. The screams that I let out moments ago had led them to me. "How could I make such a dumb mistake, screaming at the top of my lungs praying to god-like there is one, to begin with…only to lead this filth to me."

As I knew whispering to myself would only make the situation worse and slow me down, I quickly set myself behind a pillar to make some room for evading these creatures.

"For fucks sake, I cannot see an end to these hallways, and they said that this was a 5th class mission" as I was resting behind the thick pillar, I began to remember pieces of memories blurred by the sheer amount of adrenaline going through my body. It had been almost two weeks since I entered this rift.

I had been told that this rift had been the lowest difficulty and would most likely be a quick buck to make, and I needed to feed my twin brothers, Rennie and Reggie.

Taking out some leftover meat that I tested earlier to see if it could attract the creatures, I started making a trail of blood and pieces of meat around the pillars leading in the way that I had come from, hitting two birds with one stone which allowed me not to lose myself again and show the creatures away from me.

With the time I had given myself, I made sure to run as fast as I could towards the door.

Loud audible running could be heard as I was heading full speed ahead, not looking back at those terrifying dark-shaded creatures. I always hated the darkness. It always made me uncomfortable not knowing what lies in it. But little did I know that this rift, or should I say this castle, would be the beginning of the truth. My truth…

Clack!

The door made a loud sound as I opened it, and it echoed throughout the hallway that I had just passed.

Screech!

Hearing as the disgusting lumps of darkness began to drag what looked like a pair of feet, they quickly stampede towards the same door that I had just opened. My pupils dilated, and my heart began to beat like it would burst out of my chest at any moment.

" Come on, CLOSE UP, GOD DAMN IT" I started to shout in the heat of pure angst and a tad bit of annoyance because the door was too heavy and barely opened in the first place.

My fear continued to grow further as the shadowy creatures approached me at an alarming speed. "DAMNN YOUUU" my only thinking at that point was to close the door and nothing else.
