The night seemed to guide her through the silent streets as the wind swept through her hair. She kept looking over her shoulder being sure that she was not being followed, but she could never be sure. She slipped silent past the fallen drunks and the hookers that lined the streets earlier in the evening. As she got closer her pace quickened and a smile crept across her face. The thoughts of earlier evenings swept through her minds.
Kiya opened the heavy door to Valek's haven, allowing her slender body to slip through. She let the door go, a force taking it from her hands and slamming it shut behind her. The sound of the lock securing itself echoed through the halls. Her eyes glanced around quickly, wondering who or what was around her. Kildrood no longer stood in the entrance way, the demon dogs remained their growling.
Whispers of forgotten souls radiated from the pours of the walls. Screams of pain peircing through her ears.
"Hello?" Kiya stood frozen for a minute, her mind racing. "Valek?" No answer from anyone, just whispers enwrapturning her, filling her head with noises. The presence of whatever it may have been wanted her to follow it. Kiya stumbled back to the doorway, grasping for the handle. The door knob felt as though it was on fire. Panic overwhelmed Kiya as she looked around into the darkness the silence had been over taken by the screams of souls. She looked to her left, a trial of blood seemed to form in front of her eyes. Endless scratching, one much of a puppy dog trying to get in, could be heard as the lines continued to form. Horror and curiosity took control. Her eyes followed the dripping red liquid as her legs followed without direction.
The sense of sadness, hatred, anger, and pain seeped through the walls. Her eyes big, but saw nothing. There was nothing around her. Just her, the noised and the endless blood trial that continued to form. She stopped for a second, her mind once again regain control of her body. "I must be mad." She muttered to herself as her body began to shake with fear. A loud scream echoed from down from what seemed the stairwell. Once again, her legs took control, her mind losing all power. She drifted down the staircase, her hands catching the webs of the small creatures that must have been there for centuries. A pale green light radiated from heavy metal door that stood in front of her. Her hand reached for the handle, trying to continue with her journey but was unable too. The voices remained but no longer guided her. She stood there for a moment, her fears easing, but her curiosity as strong as ever. She stood back, looking into the door. A figure appeared, smiling wickedly at her. Pure evil could be seen from the meer child. The girls arms opened as if to invite her into where ever she came from. The once locked barrier seemed to melt into a pool of blood dripping from the ceiling right before her eyes. Kiya stood there astonished at what she just saw. Reluctantly she put her hand through, retracting it just as quickly. She starred at her hand, it came back as clean as it went in. She guided herself through the door. She looked down at herself, she chuckled slightly making a check that she was still all in one peice. She turned back to the door. The lock still was secure and the blood was gone. The girl stood in front of her. The evil smile still secure on her lips. She seemed to float as she walked through the endless maze of the dungeons. The echoes that were surronding her before intensified, ringing through her head like a cannon going off beside her. Finally, the girl approached something that looked like a mirror, walking through it with ease. Kiya reached out her hand, but found it to be solid. The screams that she had heard were coming through this. The sound of one unforgetable demonic scream seemed to be coming closer. It was as though it was all coming from this mirror. She watched as terror took over her body, a dark shadow appearing in the reflection of the mirror. The figure rushed towards her. His eyes were white. Blood and skin running down his face and arms. Kiya began to stumble back, her mind exploding with immense terror. She feel the the ground, her hand falling onto a brick that had fallen from the centuries old wall. Her hand grabbed the object, she closed her eyes and launched it at the mirror, shattering it into thousands of fragments. Slivers of glass glimmered in a circle around her.
Kiya opened her eyes ... seeing Valek's back to her ,,, fire glistening in front of him.
