The Tunnels

As we got further into the tunnel, the fog got denser and denser. I was scared to my bones but tried my best not to show it. The others looked very concerned, which certainly didn't help make my fear go away.

"Your uncle trying to get us killed or something?" Asked Andrew.

"At least he got us out of there." Hunter replied in annoyance.

It was very clear the pair didn't like each other one bit. Me and Sergei must keep them away from each other so they don't get into arguments.

"If you didn't like the idea of going through this tunnel then why did you come with?" Hunter questioned Andrew.

"Why would I leave Daniel go alone into a tunnel with some random punk?" Andrew asked in response.

"Stop calling me punk or we have a problem." Hunter said in slight anger.

"Well, we fuckin do have a problem and that problem is you." Andrew got angry too.

"Guys come on this ain't the time." I said worriedly.

"No this IS the time. I want to know why this idiot has a problem with me." Hunter said.

"IDIOT?" Andrew said in surprise. "Listen here, you either shut up and follow what we agree on or you shut up and go back the way we came from."

As soon as Andrew said that he was on the receiving end of a kick to the face from Hunter.

"Shit." Said Sergei.

"Hunter what did you do?" I asked.

"YOU ARE DEAD." Shouted Andrew as his voice echoed in the tunnels.

Andrew got up and tackled Hunter to the ground. Me and Sergei tried our best to get Andrew off of Hunter but to no avail. Out of nowhere Hunter got his leg through and kicked Andrew in the chest pushing him away from himself.

"Guys you need to calm down now." I said as I got a hold on Hunter so he stops.

Sergei got a hold on Andrew but just as he did Hunter slipped his arm away from my grip and punched Andrew on the side of his head thus bringing him off his feet. Hunter then proceeded to jump on Andrew's chest and rained punches on him. Andrew then rolled Hunter over as they got close to the entrance of a tunnel on the right side.

"GUYS STOP." I said as Sergei approached them.

To my surprise Sergei started attacking Hunter alongside Andrew. They were punching Hunter together but he was still on his feet.

"STOOOP." I shouted at the top of my lungs.

They continued to pummel on Hunter as he struggled to stay on his feet. I thought of what I could do and there was only one thing that sprung to my mind.

'Fuck it.' I said to myself.

I ran towards them at full speed and tackled all three to the ground. A sharp pain broke out of my right knee but I shrugged it off.

"I said stop." I said as I tried to catch my breath as all four of us laid on the ground.

Before anyone said anything some loud shuffling sounds came from the tunnel we got into. I realized after I tackled them we got into one of the side tunnels.

"Let's see what's up." Sergei said as he started moving towards the sounds after standing up.

"Wait, don't go." Andrew said right before getting up. "Sergei." Andrew said as his voice got louder.

Andrew started stepping into the fog to go after Sergei. He was wobbling as he stepped forwards because of the hard punches from Hunter I assumed.

"Andrew hold on." I said as the words barely came out of my mouth because I was nauseous for some reason.

-------------------------

(Andrew's POV)

I barely stood on my feet because of Daniel's hard tackle. I was also dizzy from Hunter's punches.

'Fuckin asshole.' I thought to myself.

"Sergei, you crazy idiot where did you go?" I whispered loudly.

There were more sounds being made as I went further into the tunnel. The fog got denser with every step I took.

"Sergei." I whispered a little louder this time.

Some sounds came from my right side. I followed the sound as I started seeing a couple of silhouettes, one significantly larger than the other.

I approached them as one of the silhouettes was now visible. It was Sergei.

I was delighted as I approached him quickly. He was staring at something but I didn't care.

"Brat why did you come this far alone?" I asked.

Sergei's eyes never left the thing he was staring at. He didn't even notice I was standing there next to him I think.

"Brat?" I said as I turned to look at what he was staring at.

I saw a very rough looking creature, it stood on it's both feet but it's far from being a normal human. It's skeletal arms were connected to it's body in a very uncomfortable way, as if they were forced on the body. And the arms themselves looked like old dead tree branches, and it's covered with flesh that is so decomposed that I was wondering if it even was alive. It's claws were sharp enough to rip apart a bull with one claw. It also had legs that were firmly and indecisively firm on the ground. It's color, so ominous that you can't even see it and it blends in with the fog. It's chest, the only thing you could notice was it's rib cage. It was very much visible. It's head was spiky and deformed with the teeth very visible, they were very long and sharp as knives. You could notice that it was relishing every moment as it was walking slowly towards us like it hadn't seen it's prey in a long while. Excited and frenzied as it moved towards us with joy because it knew it's preys were trapped with no where to go.

I quickly grabbed Sergei's arm to try and bring him back to reality from whatever he was doing. He didn't respond. I pulled him hard towards me and he shook his head a bit before widening his eyes as he looked at me.

"Andrew?" he asked.

"RUUUUN." I shouted at him as I started running and also pulling him with me.

-----------------

(Daniel's POV)

"RUUUUN." A loud shout came through, echoing in the tunnel.

I tried to stand up but my knee gave out as soon as I applied little pressure on it.

Hunter noticed and he helped me sit back down on the hard ground of the tunnel.

"Easy there." Hunter said as he lowered me.

"My knee. The pain came back." Is all I could say from the severity of the pain.

"It's alright you stay here." Hunter said.

"Doesn't look like I have a choice. You go after them I will be right here." I said as I pulled my revolver out and cocked it.

"Be careful partner." Hunter said.

"You too partner." I replied.
