(Please take note that some of these chapters are actually pretty long.)
The sound of my heart beating in my chest told me that I was still alive, the throbbing in my head told me that I was suffering, my injured arm and eye that bled profusely told me that I was still in hell.
Wondering around in Darkness, I just had to find the door.. the way out.. I was almost there... I was..
The voices that surrounded me grew louder and louder, some of them were telling me that "You're going to die", some told me to "stop and go back while you still can", and some said things like "He's going to find you" or "You better hide before he comes after you"
The voices confused me and drove my sanity down more than it should.
The eyes that watched me from the shadows as the light from my torch illuminated the ground around me.
My legs felt weak, like they were going to give out, and they were.
I stop walking, dropping my torch to the ground, I collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily as I looked down at my left leg, pulling up the pant leg and revealing my injured leg that had a hound bite mark on it.
My head was killing me, it felt like I was forgetting who I was the longer I stayed here.
'My name is Wilson Percival Higgbury, I'm a scientist, I was tricked by that bastard into coming here... I.. I.. oh god.. is that blood?' My thoughts came to a complete vault as blood drip onto my shirt making me panic.
I moved my left hand up to my face, using the back of my gloved hand to wipe away the blood dripping from my nose.
My eyes widen as I looked around wildly hearing the voices around me get louder and louder.
"He found you.. it's too late to run.. your fucked.." they reminded me of what was chasing me.
'Oh shit.. I'm fucked.. I'm beyond fucked.. I'm-'
"Hello, Mr. Higgsbury..." the voice rang out so loud and clear into the Darkness that I nearly jumped out of my skin. I scrambled to grab my things, feeling the cold hands of death wrap its long and slender fingers around my neck, choking me and preventing air from going into my lungs.
I let out something mixed between a whine and a cry out for help.
The voices laughed and cried as the demon had one giant clawed hand wrapped around my slim neck, chocking me to death.
"Why are you such a troublemaker? Can't you just leave me be?" The man, named Maxwell Carter, had asked me in a threatening tone as his other hand that wasn't wrapped around my neck moved to the side, being placed on the ground as Maxwell's long, sharp, canine teeth bared at me, his teeth had a fairly large amount of dried blood on them.
I stared in shock as he seemed to be contemplating on what to do with me.
"W-What.. what happened t... to Willow?" I strained to ask, trying to move my head back out of his grip, hot tears soon began to form on the corner of my eyes as my vision began to blur.
"Oh, the little fire starter? Well, let's just say you aren't going to be seeing her for a very long time." Maxwell let out a dark chuckle, his hot breath tickling my face, the smell of nicotine laced his breath like how you can faintly detect the small English accent in every word he said.

I lifted my hands, finally finding Maxwell's hand that was closed around my neck, I tried to dig my fingers into the clawed hand, trying to keep his hands away from my neck. I manage to break his grasp on my neck for only a split second before his other hand- which was laying on the ground by my hip- his other hand snatched both of my wrists, dragging them down to the grassy path with little patches of cobblestone in it.
"Say pal, lets make a deal." His voice was hoarse and sounded more demonic than it should- even for someone like him- Maxwell, removed his hand from around my neck and rested it on my hip.
The torch that illuminated the ground around us soon gave out, making me panic as I tried to catch my breath.
"Hold on pal." Maxwell whispered, I closed my eyes, hearing loud hissing before a sudden whoosh of air came whizzing past me and bright lights surrounded me.
Reopening my eyes, blue flames surrounded us, keeping the Darkness away... keeping Them away...
Maxwell still had a iron grip on my wrists making them bruise and sore. He didn't even move from his spot as he looked to the side before back at me.
"Here's a deal." He shifted on his legs, getting into a more comfortable position as he leaned back a little bit. "I'll let you go- start on a new island- make surviving during the winter a breeze and gathering food a bit easier for you."
'Well, that sounded like a swell deal..! Almost too swell..' I thought as I looked Maxwell in the eyes, "W-What's the catch?" I asked, my voice still a bit scratchy from being choked.
Maxwell laughed, a good heartedly laugh, that soon turned sour and evil.
"I can't get anything pass that smart brain of yours!" Maxwell laughed, before grabbed me by the face, his claws digging into my cheeks, now scowling me. "The only catch is that you must become a little test subject!"
My eyes widen, "What kind of test subject?" I asked feeling Maxwell's hands move from my body and up in front of my face.
My mouth was forced open by the shadow hands that protruded from the ground as Maxwell summoned a strange shadow creature in his clawed hands. I watched in shock as Maxwell picked up the strange creature that was dripping with nightmare fuel hanging it over my wide open mouth. My pupils seemed to dilate- I kicked, tried to pull away, and even tried to close my mouth, but the shadow hands prevented my mouth from ever closing.
"S-Stahp..! M-Maxwell!" I begged, trying to get my legs free from under Maxwell's body.
When the creature was dropped into my mouth, I gagged and coughed, trying to spit it out, I felt the creature move around and squirm in the back of my throat as its claws dug into the back of my neck, trying to force its way down my throat.
The shadow hands covered my mouth after forcing it close, keeping me from spitting the foul creature out of my mouth.
As I tried to push the creature away from the back of my mouth, my reflexes came in and made me swallow the shadow creature down, causing me to almost puke.
The nightmare fuel that layered its body felt like slime and oil- getting stuck on the inside of my throat and mouth.
I took a couple of more swallows before the shadow hands moved away from my mouth letting me take deep breaths.
My stomach began to hurt, making me howl in pain and agony.
"W-What the hell..? What was that thing!" I shouted at Maxwell, looking up at the monster who stood up, laughing.
"Just a new little experiment." He stated calmly, walking over my body, he crouched down and growled into my ear, "Now for that reset.."
I didn't have time to react as Maxwell's clawed hands went for my neck, ripping my throat out of its rightful place, I gagged and struggled to breath as my own blood filled my lungs to the brim making me cough and make gurgling sounds, but Maxwell wasn't done, being the monster he is, he began to rip my stomach open, tearing out organs and pieces of meat and flesh from my body, I felt numb. I felt lightheaded..
Oh, all I want to do is to go home..
But I knew Maxwell didn't want me to leave just yet...
