BROKEN MIRROR

Clara went in the left route, which ended after walking for few miles. She returned back hoping others might have found the way, when she got back Drake was already waiting for them. She ran towards Drake,

"Did you find the way?"

"No, I didn't. Did you find anything?"

"No, let's hope something that Ryan will find"

"okay"

Both waited for Ryan till 15min, Drake got up

"I am going to search for him, you wait here Clara"

"No, am going to come with you"

"Okay but stay right behind me"

Both entered the middle route where Ryna had gone, as they continued to move inside the air started to get thicker. Faint smell of wet soil stung their nose,

"Eww, the smell of soil but how can this possible? There is no single drop of water here" Clara closed her nose with the hands.

"Something is weird here!" Drake carefully moved forward while replying to Clara.

"Ryan, where are you?" both started to scream Ryan's name. On the other hand, Ryan was stuck in big black cave filled with little mud water which was reaching till his feet. He searched for the way out but he could not see any exit around him. Loud laughing noise started to sound around the four corners of the cave, Ryan turned everywhere to see who is laughing but there was no visible body.

"Did you think you can catch me that easily?" the mysterious voice spoke up,

"Who the hell are you?" Ryan questioned it silently, in less than minute big mirrors fell around Ryan circling around him.

"First take a look of yourself. Who are you?!!" the image of Ryan spoke through the mirrors; it was trying to manipulate him. Ryan thought to himself 'it won't let me go that easily' again it dragged him out of his thought.

"Or you are afraid to agree that you are a monster" the voice started to laugh out loudly while saying it.

"Why would I afraid, I say openly I am the monster" Ryan gave the mirror devilish grin, he slowly took out his sword. But the images from the mirror started to shout sending sonic waves making it difficult for Ryan to even stand.

"Shut the hell up" he swung his sword in anger towards the mirror, fire flames coming out of the sword broke half of the mirrors surrounding him. Ryan took a jump to leave but the ropes emerged from the muddy water out of nowhere wrapping itself around Ryan's leg making it difficult to move for him. It dragged him down, Ryan struggled to escape through it.

The invisible sound laughed out loudly, the sound echoed throughout the darkness it started to sting inside Ryan ears. He got annoyed by the voice, anger raised through his veins, he pulled out his sword. His red eyes sparkled something hinting more dangerous, he slashed the sword towards ground the flame came out of the sword burning even up on the mud water. He once again swung the sword towards ceiling of the dark cave, it broke in to many pieces opening the exit.

On the other hand, Drake and Clara kept calling out Ryan's name. When Clara moved little front to check the cracks in ground but suddenly the cracks burst opened, wet figure came out from the ground

"Ghost!!!!, Drake a Ghost!!!!!" Clara started to shout

"Relax Clara, its Ryan!" Drake moved towards Ryan

"We got the map, lets get out of here" Ryan told with other's to leave.
