Running, you are running through the underground catacombs. You were with friends, exploring the seemingly hidden entrance in the forest, that let deeper into these tunnels.
The forest itself was known for strange happenings but you wanted to brave and prove yourself to your friends.

Carefully exploring with the lights you brought in the form of candles and lanterns, you wandered in deeper and deeper.
The deeper you went, the hairs stood up on your body. Something was wrong with this place, something was off.
Telling your friend that maybe it was time to go back there was movement in the dark.

They called out if anyone was there while trying to light the area. A low growl came from the dark followed by glowing white eyes.
Scared, you all started running, thinking a wild animal was here but didn't want to find out.

It was when one of your friends tripped and fell. His light fell and the candle snuffed out. Stopping, both of you looked for him.
When your light found his face as he lay on the ground, the white eyes appeared behind him before he was dragged into the darkness with a scream of fear that quickly got silenced.

Fearful what fate had come to your friend, you started running again while the other was a bit ahead. You had found old candles in the catacombs earlier, having lit them to mark your way back.
Following them, you both stop as you pass a corner. A creature made of smoke was standing close to a candle, staring at it. Hearing you, it turned it's head, showing the same bright white eyes.
It slowly turned back to the candle before snuffing it out with a swipe of it's paw. Looking back, the other candles had also gone out.

Running again, you went the way you came from or as best as you could remember, your friend close behind.
left, right, straight, left, straight, right again. Without the other lights, the place was like a maze. The sound of a stumble and a yelp following a oof as your friend fell, you looked back, staring into his scared eyes before he was dragged into the darkness, like your other friend had.

You ran on, not looking back, it was to late for them, you were sure of it, you would had heard them otherwise. Stopping for just a moment, you felt a breeze making hope sparkle, you must be close to the exit.
Running to where the breeze came from, you panted harder and harder, your stamina depleting quickly from all the running.

It was then you stumbled yourself, falling to the ground and dropping your lantern. With a shatter of glass, the candle inside popped out and rolled over the ground.
Crawling towards it as it rolled away, it stopped ahead, lighting some dark red robes.

A black furred hand reached down for the candle as you cried for help, to whoever it was before you felt your blood pull from your face and went silence
Holding the candle higher revealed the persons features, and more so his skulled face. Holding the candle, he rose a finger to his lips or where they should be and let out a ssshhh.

It was then when his thumb pressed down on the candle, snuffing the light, leaving his glowing red eyes staring at you as other bright glowing white eyes opened up around you.
