A tunnel covered in fresh blood

{if Roxxy is alive = true} Roxxy grimaced. "Are you sure? I mean, there's blood, that's never a good sign."

"Psh, it's not blood."

"You don't think so?"

"Nah, it's probably rusty water. You know, water leaking in through a deposit of iron. Or maybe through a cinnabar vein. Plenty of explanations." Nora put one foot ahead of the other and started walking into the tunnel.

"Isn't cinnabar toxic?"

Nora paused and scrunched up her mouth to one side. "...it's probably iron."

Roxxy chuckled. She kept close to Nora, her flashlight pointed ahead. They walked for quite a while, wary of their pitch black surroundings; Nora tripped a few times in the darkness, Roxxy helping her up each time.

"Do you mind not walking so close? You keep stepping on my heels."

"Oh sorry", Roxxy replied, "I'm just more used to exploring with my brother, he doesn't mind me walking so close."

"Well it's annoying. I don't know how he puts up with it."

"You have longer legs! You're totally putting me off my walking rhythm." They came across a boulder, and Roxxy sat down on top. "Hold on, I just need a moment," she stretched her arms behind her head, and thrust her chest forwards, her back creaking as if she cracked her knuckles, "we've been walking for a while, haven't we?"

Nora shrugged. "I wouldn't know. I kind of go into a zen state when I walk, and lose track of time. Being underground without the sun doesn't help either." She unscrewed the cap from her water bottle and took a sip. Nora tossed it over after Roxxy motioned for it.

"Zen state huh? That can't be good for you, you'll walk too much. That's why you have such well toned thighs."

Nora grinned. "You've been looking at my thighs, have you? You haven't been looking at anything else in that area by any chance?"

Roxxy let out an awkward yet cute laugh; her voice was suddenly different from her regular sure self, and it was clear she was flustered. "W-what? No, no. No! Of course not!" She crossed her arms, harumpfed, and then relented. "Bah, fine, it's hard not to look, okay?"

Nora laughed. "Ha-ha, well, I'm flattered. Maybe after we get out of here, you'll get more opportunities to look at my-y-a-a-aaaaAAAAH!" She screamed, dropping her flashlight, causing a flurry of shadows to dance on the walls as it bounced on the ground with a clatter. Roxxy turned around and screamed as well, her hands jumping up to claw at her own face.

The creature was barely constrained by the tunnel. It was vaguely humanoid, or at least its upper body was; a torso grew out from a stool like body, and it had four legs, each tipped with a single elongated claw. On the underside was a sphincter that opened and closed with a wheeze, and occasionally a tongue like tentacle dripping pinkish gunk would shoot out and writhe before retreating back into its body. It had three long, lanky arms, two attached from just beneath where the shoulders would be, giving it a grotesque, "wrong" look, and the third attached to its back, same height as the other two; each one was tipped with three fingers, and each finger had three claws on their end. And all of it was covered with a pocked and scarred layer of human like leather, sores and growths spattered all over.

But its face was the most unnatural and disturbing; it was like a melon, left to rot in the sun, giving it the appearance that its head melted into its body, with flabby flaps of skin that oozed a wretched cloud of miasma. Two mismatched eyes glowed like radiation, one larger than the other, but both piercing and full of fury. Just below that, a vertical maw of teeth stretched all the way down to its "hips".

Nora vomited, still upright and screaming, before mercifully passing out and falling to the floor. Roxxy pissed herself, a large stain growing from her crotch and down her pant legs. They were easy prey for the creature, which picked up Roxxy with its arm, wrapping its claws around her stomach. She didn't struggle, but started wailing, tears rolling down her cheeks as she babbled incomprehensibly, her eyes shut so tight and her hands covering her ears, trying to wish herself away.

She expected to be eaten alive, but it just brought her up close to its face. It sniffed her, and then licked her face. She recoiled, but the vile tongue probed around regardless, sliming its way into her ears, then rolling over her eyelids, and finally pushing itself against her shut lips.

It growled a strange clicking sound, like a crabs claws, before lifting Roxxy higher so it could look at her crotch. Its nimble tongue climbed over and squeezed under her trousers, now free to writhe in her panties. It lapped up all the acrid piss that has accumulated and then pushed through the lips, not venturing too far, but far enough to make Roxxy suddenly gasp.

"Ah, no! W-why... Please," she sobbed, pleading with creature as if it even knew English, "please, I don't want this! I just want to go home! Brother help me!" But no help came.

Instead the creature made a wretched sound, gagging and retching, and a large protrusion extended from its maw. It was the thickness of a log, and nearly as long as one too, covered in thick veins. On its end was a bulb, the size of a football, that split open three ways, revealing a clump of probioscus and tiny tentacles. It closed, and pushed itself against her crotch, forcefully fighting against her trousers, before they gave in with a 'riiiiiiiip' and the bulb entered her.

"Aaaaah!" She cried out in pain as her cunt was stretched out more than it could bear, a large bump showing through her stomach. She drooled as the excrutiating pain overwhelmed her senses, becoming a reactionless, limp, plaything in a half catatonic state. Her body twitched as the bulb opened up once more, and the little tentacles tickled her insides, crawling into places that have never been filled before. "Guhh... Uh-uh-hh-hh-uh... Ah!" she guttered, unable to speak actual words. It was strange for her, her body was full of such feelings pushed to such extremes, that she didn't know how to react, her body flailing one part at a time, as if it were now pressing buttons at random to see if maybe it'll help her out of this situation. She came, her body shaking like a person possessed, her eyes twitching and rolling back as she tried to resist but was unable to hold it back. She hated this, it hurt so much! But in a sick sort of way, she loved this as well; such pleasure she's never felt before! Just when the first orgasm finished another rolled in, causing her to thrust and flail more.

"Oh god! I-I-I-I can't t-take m-m-more of this! AH!" She couldn't stop cumming, each orgasm feeling ten times as powerful, ten times as ****. It made her bones feel like cracking, her skin to feel so itchy, the strength required to keep herself functional seeped away with every stroke, her body used like a sick fleshlight.

Suddenly, the protrusion she was impaled on began to retract, taking her inside its maw. She wanted to scream, to wriggle and escape, but she just did not have the strength to do so as another orgasm overtook her. All she could was whimper. "N-n-o-ooo..."

The teeth closed in around her, and she was trapped inside.

The creature was about to walk away, before it remembered that it had a second little morsel to play with and devour. It grabbed the **** Nora by the leg, and dragged her into the darkness.

Nora and Roxxy were never seen or heard from again.{else}Nora crouched down and touched the wet stone floor. It did feel like blood, and it certainly had the color, but she wasn't thoroughly convinced it was the real deal. "Maybe it's just water going through an iron vein..." she reassured herself. She started walking down the tunnel, nearly slipping on more than one occasion.

It was long and winding, and Nora considered going back several times. But she sunk so much time into this path, she might as well. It must lead somewhere!

She came across a boulder and took a break, unscrewing her water bottle and taking a sip. At that moment a twindge of loneliness surfaced in her stomach. She wasn't sure why. It's not that she was scared of being alone in a dark, unnerving tunnel; she was used to it, but this time she felt a genuine feeling of missing someone. Roxxy was her rival, sure, and they had their different points of view and principles, sure, but she was still fun to be around. "And a friend I suppose..." she murmured. If she just didn't... If she just could have... No. It was best not to dwell on it. She shook her head and continued on her way.

She walked with determination, her flashlight leading the way; wary of the black darkness. She stopped occasionally for a short break to look at the glyphs on the tunnel walls. They were... Peculiar. More crude and sloppy than the one seen before, scratched onto the surface than properly carved, like they were done in a hurry. They were different from each other too; they were clearly different languages... And wait! She recognised that one! That one was in Chinese mandarin! She was a little rusty, but she still knew enough. "It," she read out loud in a way only a person reading a foreign language could, "never ends."

She scratched her head. "That's pretty vague." She pondered. 'What' never ends? Perhaps whoever wrote this was in pain? Was the pain to them neverending? She didn't buy that one. Maybe they weren't sane? Who knows, maybe the just decided to write gibberish? She knew she would if she were down here for an extended period of time. But what if they were being literal? Does the tunnel never end? Is the tunnel so long that it could be seen as never ending?

There was a sudden noise noise that made Nora jump coming from the way she came. It was a slow clicking noise, like the snapping of a crabs claw. She peered into the darkness, her flashlight not extending her vision by much.

She screamed and dropped her flashlight with a clatter.

It was vaguely humanoid, or at least its upper body was; a torso grew out of a stool like body, and it had four legs, each tipped with a single elongated claw.

Two mismatched eyes glowed like radiation, one larger than the other, but both piercing and full of fury. Just below that, a vertical maw of teeth stretched all the way down to its "hips".

Nora vomited. She could hardly comprehend how such a thing could exist, but she knew it was there, slowly coming towards her. She wanted so bad to just curl up and pretend she was somewhere else, but... she made herself run. The beginning was difficult; it was like pushing against a brick wall to start her feet, but once she started it was easy to keep going, to put one leg ahead of the other, to put as much distance between her and that... that... 'Creature'. She left it in her dust. It didn't give chase, but she didn't care; she just ran. She ran until her legs felt like falling off, and then ran more.

She winded down, resting herself against the wall. What was that thing?! She didn't want to think about it, to even remember how it looked like, but it was burnt into her mind. She vomited again, splattering chunks against the cold ground. She looked behind her, not able to see more than a foot ahead of her in the darkness. Was it still coming this way? It must be; she didn't see any other tunnels splitting from this one. She started to walk once again, using the wall as a guide. She tried to remain calm, but it was starting to get too much for her; she felt her heart pounding like a racehorse, and frantic, more instinctive thoughts raced in her mind.

Then she tripped.

"Aah!" She panicked more than she should have, but she quickly regained her composure. She used her hands as her eyes. It was a boulder. Then she brushed against something plastic, and it swished. It was a water bottle! Her water bottle in fact. The bottle she forgot to take with her when she rested some time ago...

"N-no... H-how... This... This isn't happening! It can't be happening! I-I-I must be dreaming!" She slapped herself in the face as hard as she could, but she was still awake.

She fell to her knees. "Never ending..." she muttered, "never ending... Oh god, I'm going to die here aren't I?" She started to sob, tightly clutching her face. Despair and hopelessness took ahold of her. She thought of all the things in her life: her childhood, her years in college and university, her first love, her parents; even that stupid idol that brought her here. And it all came to this.

"What did I do to deserve this?"

She lay there for quite some time, pondering the choices in her life, maybe if she chose differently, she wouldn't have ended up here. Eventually, the creature caught up with her, and dragged her off to who knows where.

No one saw or heard from Nora again. {endif}
