oki, heres another section. i have no idea how to continue. edits?

“Be quite!” Said the girl curled up behind the pile of bones. “Oh sorry.” I said lowering my voice. I jumped behind a pile of junk and averted my gaze to to the main tunnel, waiting for a head with teeth to come bursting through and eat everything.

“Are you that girl that went missing? You’ve been here for like 2 days, right?”

The girl gave a small nod. She seemed kinda shriveled, but I wouldn’t blame her. She’s about to thirst and starve to death. And it seems like she had seen some things.

“Do you know what that thing is?” I asked whispering. She shook her head in a hurried way.

“Am I talking to much? Sorry I know it’s weird to suddenly have human communication after a while of being alone, and not consuming everything, and I’m probably not the first face you wanted to see, heck I don’t think I’m the first face anyone wanted to see, I just have that very strange and annoying presence, wait where was I going with this?”

I looked up and saw she was looking at me with a confused face. “Right! Escape. Uh… ok. Have you tried to get out before? What have you learned about this.. thing?” I said trying to keep my voice down. “Well..” she said quietly, “it never comes in here unless once to check on the metal. But, I, didn’t see it’s face, I hid in this pile.”

“Mhm, ok then. Is there another exit out of here?” I asked.

“No.. but there is a small hole in the wall, and there’s some sky light coming out of it. But there’s no way to get to it…”

I looked up at where she was directing. There really was a small whole in the What seemed to be glass sand ceiling… mhm… glass.

I looked around at the junk metal. There were plenty of rusted axes, pieces of iron, bones… shards of whatever. There also seemed to be a pile below the hole. It went up very steep and unstable, but it still was a slope. Not tall though, but I was starting to get an idea.

I jumped up on the pile. “Come on.” I motioned to Gina. She slowly got up and came on to the pile. While doing so, I got a rusty small ax and some rope. I tied them together and took a small crate. I put the crate down and stepped on it trying to get higher.

“Are going to stack things until we can climb out of the hole?”

“Nope.” I aimed at the hole and threw the ax as hard as I could, not letting go of the rope. The glass like substance shattered as the ax latched on to something on the outside. Suddenly there was a deep growl. “Come on!”

I took hold of Gina, the rope, and started climbing the stacks. I heard a rumble in the distance. That thing was coming back through the tunnel! I was almost at the opening.

“Up there! You first.” I started pushing her towards the opening. The thumping was getting louder. Then suddenly a growl. I gave Gina a final push and she crawled into the outside. I let out a breath of relief. I started to climb out the opening. Something then bit my leg.

I let out a yelp. I grabbed onto the ledge and hoisted myself up on it. I felt my flesh break some. The thing wasn’t letting go.

I took a sharp object from the pile I was on and let it drop below me. I heard a screech, and it let go.

I climbed up as fast as I could out of the ground. I layed down on the ground, panting. I looked down at my leg and saw a bit of blood. Great. Just when it was starting to heal. But it was definitely the same thing.

I looked up at Gina.

“Are-are you ok?” Asked Gina.

“Yes of course. You?” I asked starting to sit up.

“Yes. Thank you.”

“Anytime. Now you might want to return to your family. You know the way you came, right?”

“Yes actually. Again, thank you…”

“Cora.” I said smiling. “Get home safe Gina. And if I were you, I wouldn’t come back here, just in case.”

She smiles back at me and ran towards town. I sighed. Then I remembered.

My friends.

I grunted. How could I forget! But better question. How was I gonna get down there again? was I even able to?...
