The Catacombs, Tartarus - Saturday

[fh_beasties]

Each person brought to the catacombs found themselves trapped in a cavern with seemingly no exit. It was cold and lighting was limited and even their own breathing would echo off the walls. The Nightmares were lurking, waiting for fresh minds to taste, to inhale the scent of fear and panic

Inara landed in a heap on the ground and squinted as she tried to figure out where she was. She didn't see anything remotely recognizable, and it was extremely quiet. Her breathing echoed off the cold walls, making her feel particularly isolated.

She closed her eyes and tried to regain her focus and her strength, since she had no idea what was coming.

After a while, Inara started to twitch and cry, and then to scream, finally tapering off to sobs as she curled into a ball.

The screaming ended abruptly as Inara's muscles went slack and she fell into what looked like a mild catatonia.

Amber had never been more terrified than she was right now; afraid to move after that thing had dumped her and left her.

She was cold and shivered as she tried to figure out where she was. A place she'd never been, that was for sure. Every imaginable horror movie began to take shape and form in her mind and she curled her legs in up against her chest, eyes wide as she peered out into the dank coldness, praying to be saved.

No. It couldn't be real...

Amber screamed, fought to remain in control, but her fears were great and they overtook any sensibility as she laid there in the dark, desperately trying to get away from Gladys Leeman.

Amber's screaming continued until her voice was nothing more than a harsh whimper. She tried to fight the horror, but it was all too real. And in her mind she was living a nightmare, over and over and over again.

When Gwynn woke up, she felt a massive headache and vowed she would get even with that ugly demon who had hit her.

She blinked.

Well, after she found a way out of this place she seemed to now be in. It looked like a cave, but she wasn't familiar with this cave. She got to her feet and started slowly investigating where she had been dropped.

It wasn't long until Gwynn started screaming...

The nightmares continued - as did Gwynn's screams as she curled on the ground.

Head pounding, John didn't want to risk opening his eyes when he came to. He groaned, feeling cold, almost damp rock beneath his hands.

Pushing himself up onto his elbows, John winced at the residual pain in his stomach and his eyes opened to see nothing. Walls. Rock. More walls.

This wasn't at all what he'd planned for his day.

When the Nightmares came, only his screams were real. John slumped against the wall of the catacombs, eyes staring fixedly into the darkness, not seeing anything but the scenarios playing out in his mind.

And the Nightmares kept coming, leaving John whimpering in horror on the floor.

Lana woke up, lying on a cold stone floor. She pulled herself gingerly up to a sitting position, wincing in pain.

God, it was cold. She wrapped her arms around herself, trying to figure out where she was and what had just happened.

She had a really bad feeling about this.

It wasn't long before the nightmares started.
