Chapter 50: Chapter 50

The air reeked of feces with a tint of iron mixed in it. There was nothing that could be made out in this darkness. Kaden moved his hands about, searching for something to hold onto. Tiny, little worms swarmed over the floor he was standing on.

At a closer look, there were all maggots. He held up his fingers to cover his nose as he resisted the urge to puke. The maggots were squirming over the corpses feasting over what remained of them. Cold sweat damped his forehead as he forced himself to calm his beating heart.

"Is anyone there?" he whispered so low that he doubted anyone could have heard him, yet afraid that someone would hear him. He tried again, in a louder voice this time, "Hello? Can anyone hear me?"

A soft moan came from the other end of the room, followed by a shuffling.

"Please ans---," A voice hissed at him. His heart leaped a beat. Eyes widening, Kaden tried to make out the person in the darkness.
