Into the Dark

[Deleted Member]

 

Wandering in the woods alone as I often do. I was in the mood for unearthing something new.

You’d told me about the tunnel, and advised that it probably wasn’t a place to venture alone. That you might show me it one day, but I should know that you might take advantage in the dark. Obviously that sounded exciting. But I wanted to know what I was letting myself in for, so I thought I’d ignore your guidance and see what I found.

I hadn’t managed to find my underwear from the night before, so just pulled on my tight fitting little black dress and left you sleeping. At least my footwear was suitable for walking. It was early and the birds were singing as though they were showing me the way. It was light and bright and not long past daybreak so I was unusually intrepid in my exploration. Certain that I wouldn’t be disturbed so early in the day.

The wood was full and almost impenetrable, I wasn’t sure I was going the right way at all, as I climbed up and over fallen trunks, and grazed my legs on brambles. They stung as they scratched but I kind of liked it. 

About an hour in the birds became silent and I thought I could be lost. Every direction looked the same. I’d left my phone on your bedside so couldn’t navigate my way out.

Clouds meandered and cast shadows. I could hear an invisible rustling behind me, or maybe in front... and I was beginning to think I’d been a bit foolish after all. But if I found my way back, you needn’t know, and maybe I’d let you take me to the tunnel like you promised.

Rain began to break from the sinister of the clouds. I relished it for a moment. The sting on my skin, how my dress clung tighter to my skin, the pertness of my nipples. 

But the precipitation picked up pace. And the chill in the air was no longer thrilling. I needed to find shelter. So I tried to outrun the rain. The floor had become muddy and fought against my movements. I fought back, but the winds pushed me down, muddying my wet dress, my thighs. I was a bit of a mess. 

That was when I saw the darkening appear before me, as though it had always been right in front of me. 

It was a tight cave. And I had to crawl on my hands and knees at first. But at least I could dry out a little and wait for the rain to pass.

You were right about how dark it was, still on my knees, I had to feel my way into the shelter. 
‘No wonder you wanted to bring me here’ I whispered out loud as my adrenaline surge passed and I rested my head exhausted upon the floor. 

‘But you came here without me!’ Your voice was playful and sinister at the same time. I felt a hand over my hair, you turned me to face me, and  slapped me hard like you knew I liked it...

 

to be continued ...

Well I was hoping for some help with part two but if there’s demand, maybe I should just write it...

If I was hanging I wouldn't mind. I'm stiff as a post.
