" All In all Life is a waiting area for the inevitable death that lurks in the shadows of all you hold in your waking dreams."

Darkness

I do not remember if it was night or day. Funny isn�t it not remembering weather it was night or day all I know is that it did not matter if it was night or day I could not see the sky under all the earth and rock. It feels as if I had been in the cave my whole life and yet as my eyes adjusted to the darkness. The small amount of light I had I knew that I was not alone in the dark world.

In the shadows there was something and it was as afraid of me as I was of it. It moved from shadow to shadow as if it feared aney and all light. The things that live in the absence of all light are something to be feared and watched out for. What it ate I do not know but I found some peace knowing that I was not alone.

That is util I was wandering in the vast chasms and lakes far underground that I came across the remains of a fish. Now this fish was unlike no other I had ever seen it had pure white eyes and long feelers two onto of its head and two from either side of its mouth. Sense the water here is very dark I assumed that it used the feelers to move about without swimming into things.

I saw the teeth mark in the midsection of the white-scaled fish very much like a human but with sharper teeth like that of a dog. I ran over in my mind of what it could be maybe an animal? Then as I looked down I saw there was claw marks five long groves in the rock. In solid Rock! Nothing short of an old ghost story involving werewolves and other denizens of darkness could have made those marks. But I soon thought better of this and though more on that fact that there has to be a reason for the strange marks,

I moved on further down one of the long tunnels leading from the main chamber to where I had started. Funny now that I think of it I do not remember how I got here. I remember nothing before of my day the day I woke up here. I remember thinking the time I woke up here wondering what I did to be brought here left in this place can a man make is way out of here alive.

What Wrong could I have done to be here in this dark hell I have now been forced to call my home. On one day I believed to be my third day here sense I did not know how long I had been sleeping before I woke here. But on this day I had my eyes closed lying in one of the natural cubbyholes that I had bedded down with some moss I had found growing by the water. I heard the scraping and shifting of the thing that lived in the shadows. I did not have fire yet so all was fairly dark and deep shadows where everywhere.

I could hear it breathing and knew it was close to where my sleeping form lay. I dared not open my eyes afraid I would alarm it and it might attack. Sense it has not caused me harm, as of yd I did not want to push my luck in this matter. As I heard the scraping subside and the breathing grow faint I opened my eyes and saw there was a fish on a stone slab salted fish to be precise. And a medium sized stone with the middle carved out to make crude kind of bowl. In the bowl was water and I had not eaten in days my hunger was so great that I did not question the gift but merle smiles weekly and thanked the darkness for it's gift.

I sat Down near some softly glowing geostones and ate my meal. It was not the best tasting thing but it was food and the only food I have had for days. I looked around to see if the creature that had left my fine dinner was around but I did not see a thing. I had no shoes and with only sock on my feet they where soon damp and swollen from the walking on the rocks tripping in the dark and fumbling my way around.

The wakening to fish and water was an every morning thing now. I would hear the creature coming and I would lie very still and wait for it to leave. I have made marks on the wall of my sleeping place and have counted that this food bringing ceremony has goon on for two weeks now. The creature never comes to close always leaving with out rising me.

It was On the third week that the creature left something else it was a pair of shoes they looked warn and sturdy there was something dark and wet on them but I did not question who had them before me I just thanked the dark and put them on. They where a little bigger than I liked but then again my feet where swollen from the rocks and they where a god send.

I was Able to look about some more now that I have shoes to ware. I moved around the dimly lit cavern and edged around the lake to a cavern on the other side. A place up until now I could not go for the rocks were to sharp and as I looked closer I could see that it had been carved out this was not natures work but the creature. I stood there for a long time deciding if I should venture in at long last I hefted my self up and into the hole. The hole it self was three feet from the floor of the cavern that I was in.

I could smell the moss that was covering the floor like a soft green blanket on the ground. The walls had groves in it like it had been dug out long ago. I held up my glowing geo stone to get a better look at the walls and all I could se was a form of marking they looked like words of some kind. Very flowing and yet Very familiar like I had seen them some place before.

I moved To the back of the cave and saw that it became darker as I moved in and that the light of my stone was being eaten by the approaching darkness. As all my light seemed to cease at once I felt the pain of panic set in and I could hear it breathing in the darkness. I thought I was to be punished for venturing in it's home with out being invited.

I attempted to move away I tripped and fell I herd it shift in the darkness and the scratching on the stone as it moved towards me in a panic I stumbled and ran from the tunnel and jumped into the lake. I did not think of how cold this underground lake would be my breath caught in my lungs and I started falling in the water my lungs where filling with liquid and I was drowning my muscles cramped from the icy waters and my world started to descend into darkness. Before I lose sight of my watery grave I saw a figure dive into the water a shadow is all I saw niter male or female was my rescuer. Then as I was hefted out of the water all went dark.

I do not think the thing fears the light so much as it fears me seeing it. It hides in the shadows fearing that I might try to kill it on sight. The food did not stop and I had been here now for two months. On the first day of the second month I started receiving small stones by the look of them. They where gold, silver and one time a diamond and all of these gifts I thanked the darkness for them and placed them on a shelf that I had carved out of the rock above my sleeping place.

The next week came and I herd the creature again in the morning. During the leaving of the food while she left the food she started singing. I did not open my eyes nor did I stir from my bed but listened to the sounds it made a wordless melody and it was in this song that I came to see that it was a female. The creature was female and it was singing to me! I still did not look at it not knowing what would happen if I did. I lisened to the song then it faded with the movement of the creature and was gone.

Was this all in my head? Did I dream up this creature so I would not feel so alone down here. Also why can I not find the way out? No matter witch tunnel I go down I am always coming bak here. Then it occurred to me, I knew that the creature had brought me here. Now I know why ,it needed a mate it needs me!

I tried to calm down hoping that it will not sense my uneasiness. I lay down once again to sleep and vowed to confront the thing the next time it brought me my food. As always the creature came to my sleeping place and walked close to me and started to sing again. This I know now is her mating song and it calmed me no matter how much I wanted to fight the relaxing feeling washed over me like a warm summer breeze.

I slowly turned to see what it was that was singing to me and I saw her. She was like nothing I had ever seen before. She had long white hair falling to her knees. She had a light coat of white fur all over her body and her ears where that of a cat. Her eyes where closed and I knew that she knew I had moved she still sat there on the ground her eyes closed and singing to me. She was dirty but wonderful all at the same time my voice caught in my throat and I could see the outline of her face agents the soft glow of the geo-stone.

She sat Like a cat would tall and proud she had hands and feet like a human but the nails where much longer more like claws and I remember when she opened her eyes and I saw the light reflect off of them. It took my breath away She stood up and looked at me before slipping into the shadows and leaving me alone. When I called out to her begging her not to go I herd nothing in respond to my calls just my own echo rebounding back to me.

A few days went by and no food was brought to me I feared that I had frightened her away .I made my way to her home and ventured in. I had my glowing rocks and crept in as far as I could go without lousing my light when a cold wind rose up around me and snuffed out my light. I was all turned around and I did not know witch way to go. Panic swelled up in me again and I felt for the wall but my hand fell on something soft and all at once I knew it was her. I herd a hiss and a unholy screech like a cat about to strike out at its pray and then I was struck to the ground I landed on what felt like a pile of soft furs. My head started spinning I could not feel anything then all went black as I went unconsence.

I woke in my sleeping place I do not know how long I was out for but there was the fish and water I did not go back to the tunnel where I knew that she was. I could hear here moving about when she brought food and there was no more singing. Now instead of one fish I received two a day then three a day as time went on my strength returned. With the new increased food and able to look about more without becoming weak.

it was on the sixth month that I herd the waling cries of the girl in pain I wanted to go to her but I was to afraid to and then after a few hours there was no more sound. The next day I did not receive any food nor did I hear her coming around where I had made my sleeping place. Had my purpose been fufilled? Would I be able to go home? Then I herd the growling from on of the darkened caves this one masculine in sound and angry.

It sent fear racing through my body and my hear began to race and I knew I was done for that I was to be dinner now and that there was no way to live through this...it was all over for me and I had no place to hide. Just as I feared the worst I saw lights from one of the tunnels and sense I hardly spoke I tried to alert them of the beast that waited in the shadows.

I saw her eyes from one of the shadows and they looked at me as if to say it is time to go. I saw that there was a smaller version of her self near her feet. The child had dark hair not like the mother but like my own. I knew then what had happened to me that night .I suppose I knew it all along but did not want to admit it.

Her eyes warned me to leave I wanted to stay something in me wanted to help her and then in one swing her clawed hand fells across my chest and cut me my blood ran down my chest as I turned and ran to the moving lights. The Geologists where stunned to see me flailing about in the darkness and covered in blood. They took me to the surface it was a long way but in a little over a week where we emerged from the darkness and into the light. Now I am here telling you this story...you have to believe me when I say it is true all of it!

As the FBI agent stands up and looks at the man lying in the bed strapped down so he can not harm himself he sighs and smiles. "I know that you are telling the truth I believe you everyword "He picks up his recorder and notebook and packs them away. "You mean I can go then, I am free to go home where ever that is? "He looks down a the man and shakes his head. "No....I think you would do best to stay here and rest...yes here is best for you. "He walks out the door the man in the bed screaming about a cat woman and the pain and fear of the darkness. As the agent left he turned the light off. Leave him in the darkness his screams can be heard down the hallways of the old hospital. The FBI agent looks at he nurse and smiles. "He will be ok it is all taken care of "He walks out as the confused nurse goes back to her book.

In the room in the darkness a scraping sound can be heard as he turns and tries to see his aslant the darkness consumes him and as he screams for help it is cut off by a growl and a gurgling of blood as his through is ripped out. In the autopsy reports they conclude it to be done by a animal bite but no one or thing had been in or out of the room and the mans testimony left with the man who walked out.
