She was shaking with fear now, imagining a great beast slithering up the tunnel. Slimy tentacles, gaping maw filled with too many teeth. Eyeless, and pale as death. The image, conjured by a terrified mind, had her heart threatening to burst from her chest. The girl couldn't breathe, the walls were too tight. Closing in on her. She let out another frantic, wordless cry.

The light from behind her hinted at the form of something with lots of arms and legs, all of them different sized. She could see eyes, glinting in the faint light. "Go away! Don't hurt me!" She screamed at the creature, praying that mama or papa came to save her before she was devoured.
