Into the Depths Part 2
Older Writing from the Past. This is the second part of a story that I wrote to someone I was dating at the time to let her know how I was through writing.

Into the Depths Part 2
"Stick close then, so you don't get lost," I told her slightly grinning and upbeat and stepped forward into the darkness, forward and to the left until the door we came from was a tiny speck of light. She bumped into me a few times and apologized up until the point I stopped. I could sense and hear her heart beating and I turned toward her in the darkness. Her eyes were adjusting slightly as she balked when I moved. "You alright?" I asked. "Yeh... yeah," She said. "Watch your step, it goes on up for a little bit," I told her and turned around. I stepped foward and then started on the incline that continued at a even, not very steep, ascent on a smooth cool floor. We went up higher and higher, up further and further. Then I knew we were at the top and I stopped. She then bumped into me. I laughed and she did too. "It goes on down from here," I stated. "Where does it end up at?" She said. "It goes down to the right and ends there," I told her. "Does it get any lighter?" She quizzed. "You don't like a little darkness?" I asked her. "No, I'm enjoying myself now, I'd like to get back to some light sometime," She commented and indeed her heart wasn't beating fast for anxiety and she wasn't tensed from the place, just from the climb. I continued on and she had a few moments hesitation before I called at her. She came running forward but didn't bump into me this time. "Very good," I said chuckling. We continued on, now at a decline that wasn't as steep as the one we came up on. She kept up with me evenly as our descent was casual. We didn't say much of anything now. I didn't mind myself on this trip. I was more interested now to see how it would be on Kalae. "I guess I'd better start into some narration here, okay?" I spoke at length. "Sure," She responded nearly immediately. "I am taking you down into the depths a bit away from the light to show you the fast track about me," I said and paused. "I think you said that much before," She remarked. "And you're interested to get to know me better?" I said to her. "Yes, I do want to get to know you better. I'm interested, really," She came back. I stopped and turned around, "Excellent. I am quite interested in you too. I just wanted to know how much you'll follow someone away to learn about then. I wanted to see how far you would go. And, I still want to see." We were down on level floor and now went on toward a growing light. We eventually ended up at the top of a pale staircase with flourescent lights at the top that descended down and wrapped back around and went down further. "We'll travel in the light but I'll ask again, and if you'll come with me just take my hand," I reported and outstretched a hand toward her, stepping down onto the first step in the staircase.
Will she stay or will she go away? Will she keep to her word, or will she continue on with a leap of faith? We'll find out next time.
