a little horror piece i wrote

cw: blood, a description of a dead body, a mention of cannibalism for a second

I have had a fascination with the forest since early childhood. My parents took me there to pick berries and mushrooms every autumn and those were my happiest moments back then. So, when it was time to go again, right after my eleventh birthday, I was ecstatic. 

It was truly a beautiful sight. Red and yellow leaves a blanket on the wet, cold ground, lush tree crowns of gold and bronze shining in the morning sun. I loved the way air smelled then, of dump grass and fresh dirt, of bark and pine.

You need to be covered head to toe in thick clothes to protect you from mite and thorns, so you walk and move slowly. It's not very cold this time of year, but after hours and hours outside your cheeks and nose become pink and itchy. Well, as a child I didn't care about anything other than getting my basket full of the best mushrooms I could find and eating as much berries as possible. Nothing could convince me it was time to head home. Nowadays you can't pay me enough to spend even a minute in the woods.

We were far from the only family there, now and again I saw someone pass by, sometimes even with dogs, which I liked very much as a kid. I remember telling my parents that we should get a dog, too, so it can protect us from wild animals, which only made them chuckle. 

I don't really remember how I got lost. After so many years I might have imagined so many details that weren't even there, so many thoughts and feelings that I retroactively assigned to a child who just wandered off into the woods. However, when I think of that time, all that comes to mind is that I felt compelled to see where a path hidden between two wide tree trunks would lead me. I walked and walked until I almost reached a clearing and stopped, frozen in place. Only then I noticed a rhythmic, moist sound of chewing. A sudden gust of wind brought a metallic smell of blood and meat with it. There was something big and moving behind the last row of trees. I held my breath and covered my mouth with my hand. Dad taught me that you should never run or scare a hungry wild animal, so I stayed put, refusing to even take a peek. I could feel my heart pumping blood in my temples, my hands and legs shaking with every escaping gasp as the sound of tearing flesh came again and again. I didn't cry. I was too focused on surviving.

But after a long, long time I couldn't take it anymore. I looked. What was before me did not look like any real animal but every description I gave made adults sure it was an elk. It was massive, with giant deer antlers, its limbs smooth and dark, stretched and bent in unnatural ways. But I can swear that its face didn't look like anything I've seen before. It's neck twisted to reveal a flat, round muzzle with big black eyes staring straight into my soul. I stared back. With every passing second my heart accelerated and I was ready for it to stop for good. But the creature made a few small steps away, as if inviting me to feast together. This was when I saw its prey.

It was a hunter, with his chest torn open, a gun still lying on the ground near him. I gulped and shook my head. The creature looked at me and tilted its head to the side like a curious puppy. I did the same, hoping it would think I was a friend. Somehow, it worked. It continued its feast without me, only pausing sometimes to look at me. Like it was asking if I'm sure I don't want to join.

When my legs started to ache and only the skeleton was left from the poor guy, it left, turning its head one last time to look at me. I fell to the ground and wept for what seemed like hours until I felt like there was nothing to cry with anymore. I got up and went back where I came from, my legs shaking. But when I heard the voices and finally found my way to the main path, my parents weren't scared at all. 

“What, you saw something interesting in the bushes?” Mom asked.

I nodded. And dragged myself after them for hours. Red berries made me want to throw up, mushrooms reminded me of skin and flesh, and I was throwing up for days without any reason, which made my parents scared that I ate the wrong mushroom. And even after the doctors said I was fine, they decided this was our last trip to the forest.

Of course, I wasn't going to argue with that.

A short horror story for my little series.

This one is about tunnels. Toxic yuri included.

Today we got a bit carried away in the hotel and almost missed the sunset. I wouldn't really care, but Julia threw me off of her and ran straight to the bathroom the moment she noticed what time it was. The sights were her favorite part, after all. She loved to stand, unmoving, looking at the flowers or the clouds. I never fully understood her obsession, to be honest.

Julia and I have been to dozens of ruins in the last few years. We have an established routine at this point, unspoken rules that let us work together despite our differences. It started by complete accident when we bumped into each other during one of my explorations. Julia helped bandage my sprained ankle and walked me to the hotel room that night. A remarkably embarrassing experience, but it worked out as we woke up together next morning. I don't remember how exactly it started but since then we've worked as a team, meeting exactly once a month. 

When we arrive, the sky is already blood red. It is beautiful, I admit. Sometimes even I get hypnotized watching the darkness slowly descend onto the world, gently coating the old building and the remains of what was once a lavish garden. We stand there, not saying a word, for a long time. The night air is fresh and chilly, it is about to rain. I feel relieved. A night is not the end for me, it is the beginning of my weekend, and I can finally drive to the end of the world, turn off my phone and disappear from the radars. I can passively float through time and space, not wanted or needed anywhere at all. Isn't that what freedom is?

We don't really spend much time above ground after dark. There is nothing to see, only parts of old walls remaining, trashed and covered in graffiti. I politely wait for Julia to take her pictures before we both move on. The basement looks promising. As we get closer, I feel a surge of anticipation building up deep in my stomach. Something tells me this time is not like the others, this time I will discover something truly breathtaking. Julia doesn't seem as excited but it's to be expected, she never understood my love for underground.

It's a small room, covered in moss, trash and dirt. It smells of mold and other unpleasant things so Julia covers her mouth with a respiratory mask. She's always been more of a lady than me.

One wall calls out to me. It's not special in any way, at least not outwardly, but I feel a gentle pull towards it deep in my soul. As I come closer, I realize it's not concrete, but a thin material. It's fragile, and somehow I am the first one to discover that. There shouldn't be anything behind that wall, but my gut is telling me to break it. Julia is laughing at me when I take out a hammer. 

But I have to see for myself. So I hit twice, then three times. And finally, the hole is big enough to illuminate what lies behind the wall — it is absolutely nothing. I don't mean that there is a wall, I mean that there isn't. The light drowns in the darkness before it can meet anything solid.

“You'll just «discover» some pipes. Or questionable design choices.”

Now Julia is invested, too. Still holding the torch for us both, she kicks the cracks in the wall, revealing more and more of what’s behind it. We step inside, on an old-fashioned marble staircase. 

“You told me you've researched this place,” I say.

“I did,” Julia huffs. “This place was built on a random plot of land and got bombed into the state it is today, I don't know what to tell you. No matter where I looked, no mention of previous structures. I have no idea how it's even possible.”

“Maybe it's a secret bunker.”

“Doubt it.”

We descend the stairs slowly. My heart is pounding in excitement I have never felt before, an euphoric sense of belonging. It's not long until the stairs end to reveal a long corridor. I feel weightless as I slowly go ahead, sliding my hand against a wall. It's bare, untouched. The air here is clean, dry and warm, like in my childhood bedroom. There's still a residue smell of earth, calming and reassuring. I don't need Julia's torch to see anymore. My eyes slowly adjust to the darkness.

“What if it collapses? We should leave,” Julia says.

“Leave?! Do you understand what we just found?” 

“Yes, and we could come back more prepared.”

I shake my head but Julia can't see it anyway.

“We must see how far it goes, at least.”

We leave our bags on the ground. Julia only takes a few items with her in a small backpack, but I don't even feel the need to.

“Okay.”

The tunnels change with every passing hour. Some sections look ancient, built out of uneven stone, some are concrete structures, some — raw dirt and rocks. The change is smooth and pleasant, relaxing like no walk in a park could ever be. Julia can't stop whining and calling out to me. I tell her to leave but she doesn't.

We reach an opening. Brick walls disappear, and in front of us is a space so grand I can't help but run through it. Julia's worried voice quickly fades into the background. With every passing minute my eyes become better and better at differentiating the beautiful floral patterns painted on the floor. This place is stunning, it's enormous, and it could all belong to me.

“Lily,” Julia begs, “we must go back. This isn't right, this place is completely wrong in so many ways. If we get lost here, we won't be able to go back.”

“Do you still want to go back?” I ask, letting anger seep into my voice. 

Her presence has been making me uncomfortable for a while now, ruining my solace, preventing me from being truly, completely alone. She has been blessed with a sight no one has ever seen; with the privilege to walk across those grand hallways; a chance to hide from the world in a comforting darkness. She doesn't cherish it.

“I don't like this place,” Julia admits, her voice shaking. “We haven't been eating, drinking or resting for hours, and we are completely fine.”

“Then leave.”

Julia looks at me like I'm already dead, and I'm content with it. She is as tired of me as I am of her, disappointed and mad. We weren't even close enough to stick together for that long, anyway.

“I’m sorry,” she says and tosses me a spare torch. I catch it so it won't shutter on the beautiful floor, but immediately put it away. Light hurts my eyes as I look at Julia, but not for long. Her steps echo in the hallways. Soon, it's dark and quiet.

The hall is round. There are tunnels leading in every direction, all different in shapes and sizes. I sit in the middle for a while, breathing in the warmth.

Then I go deeper.

[I AM FOLLOWING AYESHA K.FAINES RESEARCH OF FEMININE ARCHETYPES]

↳ the sexual feminine archetype of the mystic archetype.

♇ when your percentage of the lover percentage is 70% and over. and when your personal score matches with your percentage engima the most.

♇ the enigma is one of the sexual feminine archetypes that belong to the feminine archetype the mystic, whereas the other sexual feminine archetype is the goddess.

♇ people who belong to the enigma archetype are perceived as earthy and have this mesmerising and magnetic energy that can be depicted as positive.

♇ some of them could be seen as very aloof and can have a resting bitch face. they're spiritual people and positive enigmas have a hard time being narcissistic and cold.

♇ they're people who dont necessarily need fame or attention, [they just focus on what they create and people are attracted to], these women are more focused on their inner peace.

♇ they are people who feel like they need to connect to a higher source of power, its comforting for them to know that there is something bigger than them that they can be lenient on.

♇ since they're people who like peace so much, they could have this tendency of fleeing from situations when they recognise that trouble would be led to them in the end. they're women who are likely to have a sense of high value of themselves and to reach that, they like to ground their energy.

♇ when it comes to romance, they like to make their lover feel seen and heard. enigmas are HUGE lovers, and most of them express their love for them within their music. like when i was writing the enigma post, fka twig's song, pendulum kept on playing in my head.

♇ the lyric "dying to be yours" repeated in my head, sometimes, enigmas are the type of women to drop everything to be and please their significant other. the link to the song :)

♇ they can sometimes overlook their lover's very bad flaws, and can be the type of people to be into open-relationships.

♇ when it comes to non-romantic situations, or in general, they're people who keep a big part of themselves only to themselves, they don't like the idea of people knowing about them 100%.

♇ as it comes to people interacting with them, people might give them the burden of having to fix them.

♇ they can get into episodes where they have a lot of blockages when it comes to expressing their sensuality or creativity. enigmas are the type of people to live in their head than executing their ideas.

when it is not blocked you'll find them to be people with very artistic and original.

♇ though, enigmas come in many forms, even though they are people who can love very deeply, they're also very closed off women. watching interviews of them, most of them have reminded me of manic pixie girls.

♇ they're women who are very strong with their opinions, and since they're strong about their thoughts they can be very poetic. they're woman who can easily express their feelings so people can understand where they are coming from.

♇ when around the right people, they can come off as very chatty but they're the type to speak about everything but themselves.

♇ i have noted that many of them do know how to sing, i've implied that they're creative and enigmas are likely going to be those who take the musician route.

♇ are aware of how society and how poorly it treats people, so they try and help others, [and the earth]. they're people who always like to be prepared and can be considered as very cute. they have this earthy energy to them but still like to indulge in luxury, chiefly for their jewellery.

♇ they like to nurture things so they are the type to get plants or even pets. [and as a stretch could be open to having kids].

♇ when enigmas are really in love with someone or just take a liking too much for a person, they can become very agreeable people, they sometimes become a walking mat or you could say people-pleaser.

♇ after watching tons of interviews many of them do have a raspiness to their voice, could sometimes be because of weed. or just smoking in general.

♇ as it comes to their aesthetic, i have observed many of them like neutral colours and are into self-care. the type to have many skin products.

♇ scent/senses is very important for them and they tend to be very hygienic people.

♇ out of all the feminine archetypes, enigma archetypes are the ones who have the most diverse personalities, makes sense to the title of their archetype, not knowing who or what they specifically are.

♇ are women who are direct with what they want, especially when it does come to romance, confident enigmas know what they want and they get it. they could have many romances but not marry, plus, if they're famous they're likely tired with the attention they get.

♇ are sexually fluid people and love to express their sensuality within their art. many of them love memories and will always be grateful with what they have been taught in the past.

♇ moreover, when i was watching interviews of them, many of them had voices i did not expect them to have. if not careful can get pressured easily and hastily anxious. the type to want to make others feel included. they like to heal, very spiritual people, and as i have said that they remind me of manic pixies, the more i did my research on them, the more i realised they're very fairy-like.

♇ they're people who are interested in research and like to embrace their powerful feminine side. the type to indulge in witch-craft; some enigmas can be very insecure about their face, can be interested in cosmetic surgery, [even though all of them are gorgeous]. + also noticed many of them have very curvy bodies.

♇ can appear as two-faced or fake because they want to set a certain reputation of themselves. don't like drama or would walk away from the mess they made. they do like to be left alone and due to this people might consider them as boring, but they just have a wall in front of their real personality.

♇ as they are people who like to ground themselves, they are people who are long to temper, or try not to be easily tempered.

fashion wise, they are people who know their colours really well. are likely going to wear gold jewellery.

♇ and can sometimes come off as very bimbo-like because of their lack of care for things. they are people who are very open about their past, and majority of the time, young enigmas were forced into the spotlight. [asia monet ray + kourtney kardashian].

♇ they are great entertainers and can be favoured in what they do. what makes them more likeable is their sunny appearance. some of them display themselves as delicate. on the other hand, people might find them to be weird.

♇ sometimes enigmas can come off as childlike and a lot of them have chubby-cheeks.

other enigmas ↴

♇ enigmas i put above are fka twigs, krotchy, frida kahlo, greta garbo, kourtney kardashian and nicole kidman.

♇ understanding the enigma archetype, is that it shows that they are women who are usually deeply underestimated when it comes to their intelligence, spiritual women who are on a hermit path of understanding themselves and others.

♇ and to make the enigma archetype easier to comprehend i gathered characters from different tv shows or films that come under the archetype.

⟶ harry potter franchise - luna lovegood, embodies the shy and kept to themselves side of the enigmas, [as i said they are a very fluid and diverse archetype], as enigmas, luna is perceived to be someone who is strange but doesnt allow it to make her feel insecure. she helps other people and is kind, embraces her quirkiness.

⟶ from american horror story [coven] - misty day, the stereotypical spiritual enigma who cares for nature and the earth. has a special connection with animals and with life itself, very caring and eccentric, and as a healthy enigma, she doesnt allow people's views of her to bring her down.

⟶ avatar the way of water - kiri, when i was thinking of fictional characters who are the enigma, kiri was the first character that appeared in my head. she is connected with the earth, creative and connects herself to a higher source of power, [even though she is already connected to eywa from what i believe]. is connected to life and death.

⟶ from friends - phoebe buffay, embodies the childlike nature of the enigma, the nature where people perceive them to be "ditzy". when she is around the people she likes, she can come off as very chatty.

⟶ naruto franchise - hinata hyuga/uzumaki, embodies the shy nature of the enigma. the enigma that loves with their all, can have creative blockages and people underestimate who she is and her power. hinata is aware of how the world poorly treats people as she did belong to clan that didnt really care for their people. [ex. neji]. sometimes expresses the mysterious side an enigma can be.

⟶ from the original franchise - freya mikaelson, is the witch of her family and is very connected to nature, chiefly because of the time she was born. she is someone who likes to ground herself and is one of the siblings who thinks things out the most, will do anything for the sake of love and family. strong opinions and holds a strong bond of life and death, like misty day.

⟶ the last of us - dina woodward, likes to be connected to a higher source, shows when she gives ellie the evil eye bracelet, embodies the expressive side of the enigma and is likely open to "open-relationships" chiefly due to her bond with jesse and ellie. she is direct with what she wants, does like her peace.

⟶ from the haunting of hill house - nell crain, some people overlook her connection to a higher source of power; to see how you are going to die since you were young is pretty psychic. had spiritual phases and like many enigma characters is very connected with death, had tried to ground herself but wasnt able, especially becuase of her therapist. does keep a big part of herself but she normally did that because she didnt want to burden her siblings.

⟶ winx club - flora, represents the kind, nature-loving and mysterious side of the enigma, especially with the vibrant colours she wears, it might not really appear that there's this secrecy and mystery to flora's character but ever since i've watched the show when i was young, i've always noted an essence of puzzle and unsolved problem when it comes to her. like she's there but not at the same time.

⟶ from euphoria - cassie howard, you might wonder how cassie belongs to the enigma archetype and the girl embodies everything that an underdeveloped enigma is. is willing to drop everything for her lover, look past the red-flags and become what their lovers wants them to be. cassie is a big lover girl, and likes to make her lovers feel seen and heard, especially for what she did to nate, telling him she can be whatever he wants her to be.

♇ as i have done my research, i gathered that a lot of enigmas are are likely going to have capricorn, leo and pisces in their big three; in order of how much they appeared.

♇ they are also going to have leo, capricorn and taurus appear in their dominant signs; in order of how much they appeared.

♇ the planets jupiter, sun and pluto appeared in their dominant planets the most; in order of how much they appeared.

♇ the element that appeared the most was earth, second was fire and third was water.

♇ lastly, when it comes to the modality, what appeared the most was fixed and the second modality was mutable.
