"Caroline be careful!" Matt yelled

"Just lower me already!" Caroline yelled back

Matt sighed and lowered Caroline into the dark pit. He slowly lowered her.

"Any day now!" Caroline yelled in annoyance

"You know I could be anywhere but here right now"

"Tending bar in some crappy college bar?"

"Where my skills would be appreciated"

"By a bunch of sorority girls! Besides your life is much more interested with me anyways"

"It's never boring that's for sure. Those head hunters thought you were really interesting"

"They thought you were a grave robber"

"You were the grave robber!"

"I was merely investigating"

"Yeah their graveyard"

"Well how else was I suppose to find the map?"

"How about not digging up their dead?"

"I put them back the way I found them!"

"See Care, working with you has made me a constant magnet for danger"

"You're just a klutz"

"You sure you want to be insulting the person who's lowering you into a dark pit of the unknown? I should just drop you in there instead"

"It would be a hell of a lot faster than listening to you complain. Why the hell is it so damn hot here?"

"It's Virginia"

"It's not Florida, seriously, I think I must have sweated through this shirt already"

"Why don't you just wear your bikini instead?"

"Don't tempt me, I'm sweating like-"

The rope lowering Caroline suddenly snapped and she fell down. She yelled out for Matt and landed hard onto the ground. She looked up.

"Care! Care are you alright?!" Matt yelled from the top

"Yeah I'm fine, you really didn't have to drop me"

"I didn't, the rope just snapped. I have to tie up another one"

"No rush or anything." Caroline looked down at her leg

She had sweated through her shirt already. The khaki shorts she wore were covered in dirt. She managed to cut her thigh when she landed on the rocks. She unhooked the harness around her waist and tried to get up.

"Argh! What the hell?!" Caroline cut her palm on a rock as she got up.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a handkerchief, she wrapped it around her palm and tied it. She reached into her other pocket and pulled out a small flashlight. She turned it on and started to look around the cave.

"Care?! Care you there?" Matt yelled from the top

Matt sighed and tied the rope around a tree and lowered himself down into the dark pit. His adventures with Caroline took them both around the world. She was a modern day relic hunter of sorts, searching for lost artifacts and traveling. He had learned a lot on his travels with her, no matter how strange and weird it was. And even he was starting to believe in the supernatural. He saw that Caroline had ventured deeper into the cavern. He pulled out his flashlight and tried to follow her.
Caroline walked deeper into the cavern. She knew what she was looking for. She had spent the past year searching for this. Deeper she walked in and felt the temperature drop suddenly. She heard something behind her. She spun around quickly to strike her attacker only to realize it was Matt.

"What the hell Care?" Matt yelled

"Don't sneak up on me like that!"

"You couldn't wait 5 minutes? You're bleeding"

"I'm fine"

"Just let me bandage it up, it's not going anywhere anyways"

"I know it's here, it has to be"

Matt took out a cloth from his bag and tied it around Caroline's thigh. Caroline looked around the cavern and saw nothing but darkness. She let out an annoyed huff.

"There I'm done" Matt said getting up

"Thanks"

The two continued walking. They saw a large stone coffin lying on top of some stones.

"This is it, it has to be it!" Caroline said

"Care don't get your hopes up, it just might be a creepy dead body"

"I made it this far, I'm not gonna give up hope yet"

Caroline rushed over to the stone coffin. There were no markings, no indication of what was inside. Caroline tried to push the stone top off. Matt walked over and tried to help her. They barely moved it an inch.

"No! It has to open" Caroline yelled

"Care, relax, we'll open it. Remember how we opened that creepy crypt in Hungary?"

Caroline smiled as Matt took out a few things from his bag.

"That's cause you were dating that physics student" Caroline said

"Jealous Care?"

"Hardly"

"The simple mechanics of levers. Have I ever let you down?"

"Thanks Matt"

The stone lid came off the coffin and crashed to the ground. Caroline grabbed her flashlight and walked over to the open coffin. She wasn't sure what to expect. She shone the light in and saw him laying there. His body was chained up, his skin was grey, but he hadn't decomposed at all.

"No Care this isn't creepy at all" Matt said

"But he hasn't decomposed or even mummified or anything. He's perfectly preserved."

"The temperature in here could keep him cool enough"

"But he's been in here for 500 years, not even Stalin could look that good"

"Stalin wasn't frozen, he was embalmed"

"Whatever, help me get him out of here"

"Why are we always carrying around dead corpses? I liked the Nepal trip when we came back with Buddha's bowl"

"The bowl didn't work, so we're dragging him out"

"Can we take the chains off him? It's not like he's going anywhere"

"Whatever"

Caroline looked down at the man in the coffin. He was perfectly preserved and seemed so perfectly preserved. She reached out and touched his face. He was cold and his body was hard, as if he were made of rock.

"This better not be a statue Care" Matt said breaking the chains

"If he is I'm sure some museum will want him"

The body inside heard voices, voices swirling around, but the blood, the blood called out to him. He could smell her, when she reached out and touched him. He could smell it, he wanted it. His eyelid tried to open.

Caroline sat by the fire while skimming through the old journal. Matt had covered up the body with a large fabric covering. He saw Caroline reading the old journal again. He remembered when she found it years ago and didn't think anything of it. And then a year ago she found it again, read it and became obsessed with it.

"You know you shouldn't be reading that relic so close to a fire" Matt yelled out

Caroline ignored him and looked at the pictures. Sketches, and scribbling about breaking a curse, the torment of someone who's family had forsaken him. Sketches of his family, daggers, a white oak tree and werewolves. She had followed the moon and sun curse, about a shaman who cursed the werewolves and vampires. She followed it but found nothing but a few drawings and engravings. But when she found the journal she realized that it was all a ploy to find the moonstone to break the curse for something else.

She looked up as if she heard something. She looked around and saw Matt standing over the body. She returned to her book and continued to read. Matt was wrapping the body up before returning to his tent. He looked up and saw a brunette standing before him.

"Be quiet" the brunette compelled him

Matt stood there in a daze.

"You're too cute to die, but oh well"

The brunette grabbed his neck and sank her fangs into him. Matt fell limp her arms. Caroline looked up and saw the woman standing there.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Caroline yelled as she got up

The brunette dropped Matt's body to the ground and started walking towards Caroline. Her fangs bared and her eyes blackened. Caroline reached to the back of her shorts and took out her gun. She fired at the woman. The brunette groaned and kept walking. Caroline kept shooting, the bullets landing in to the woman's chest. Caroline aimed at her head and fired her last shot. The brunette went flying back onto the wrapped up body. Caroline stood there for a second breathing hard.

"Get a grip Caroline, get a grip" Caroline said to herself

Caroline put the gun back into the back of her shorts and went over to Matt.

"Matt! Matt! Wake up please" Caroline begged

Matt lay there lifeless. She reached over and could feel a faint pulse. He was still alive. She had to get help. She was in the woods, where she barely had any cell reception, and it was night. She tried not to cry.

"I'll be back Matt, you hear me? Just hold on please, I'm going to the truck, I'm going to get help, I'm coming back for you" Caroline said

She struggled with herself to get up. She had to get help. She looked back and saw the brunette laying on top of the body wrapped up. Her blood staining the sheet. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She wouldn't let Matt die, they had been through so much together. They traveled the world together, had adventures together, they had met when they were children and she stayed with him, after her parents divorce, after her father left, and when her father came back into her life at 16. She wouldn't let Matt down. She couldn't. He kept her sane, he kept her in line, he was her only friend left. She ran through the woods, hoping it was the right direction.

She heard the howl of a wolf and stopped. She looked up at the sky and saw it was a full moon. She had the worst luck. She saw that the cut on her thigh had opened up again. The wolves would smell her blood. She had to keep running to the truck, then she would be safe. She couldn't let Matt down. She ran but then she saw gold eyes staring back at her. Several pairs of gold eyes. She walked backwards slowly. These wolves were different. She reached to find her gun. She realized she had emptied her entire clip while firing at the brunette. She reached to find her spare clip while backing away slowly. Matt needed her to make it to the truck. Her father needed her to make it back to her. She quietly slid the clip into the gun. The wolves heard the click and charged at her. Caroline fired her gun, shooting at least one wolf before a blur flashed before her and the wolves were gone. She looked around trying figure out what happened. She heard footsteps approaching her. She looked and saw a figure walking towards her. She raised her gun. She swallowed and aimed. She had to live, she had to survive this and make it to the truck.

"Hello sweetheart"

Caroline's eyes went wide when she saw who was standing infront of her. The body who was laying in the stone coffin was walking towards her, talking to her. Her heart was pounding through her chest. She froze unable to move. His dirty blonde hair fell to his shoulders, his blue eyes sparkled in the moonlight as he walked right into her gun. The gun pressed firmly into his chest. He reached out and took her injured hand and held it in his.

"You're injured" he unwrapped the cloth, "It's starting to get infected and will fester"

"You're dead" Caroline managed to say

"Technically I am, and you will be too if you do not tend to your injuries" his eyes glanced down to her thigh

He tried to move closer to her, but the gun was still pressed firmly into his chest. He pushed it aside and moved closer to her.

"I mean you no harm, afterall you are the one that released me from my prison. You are my angel"

Caroline felt trapped and powerless. His body was pressed up against hers. He held her hand in his, while his other hand slipped around her waist and held her.

"What is your name sweetheart?" he asked

"Caroline"

"Well Caroline, thank you for releasing me, I will give you whatever you want" he kissed the inside of her palm.

He could hear her heart thundering through her chest. His hand let go of her hand and it fell to her side. His hand moved over her heart and she gasped.

"Your heart, it's pounding, are you afraid of me sweetheart?"

Caroline had to get a hold of herself. She pushed his hand away and tried to get out of his hold.

"You're groping me! I don't know who you think you are, but you don't go around groping girls in the forest!"

"Apologies, it's been so long since I've heard a human heart."

"Well you've heard it, now let me go!"

"Of course love"

He released his grip on her. She stepped back and picked up the gun that fallen to the ground when he grabbed her. She put it back in her back pocket and turned around and he was standing in front of her. She gasped and took a step back.

"Don't be afraid" he compelled her

"Easy for you to say" Caroline replied

He looked at her and tried again. His eyes dilated as he tried to compel her again. She looked at him strangely.

"What are you doing?" Caroline asked

"Are you on vervain?"

"What? No, what is that?"

"What are you?"

"I'm the girl that rescued you, remember?" Caroline said trying to calm herself

"And I will grant whatever boon you ask, but I have one to ask of you now" he said slowly approaching her

"What?"

"I am thirsty"

In an instant his fangs were in her neck. He held her close as he drank from her. She whimpered trying to struggle against him. He stopped and looked at her. Her eyes were closing and she saw golden eyes looking at her. She felt herself fade into the darkness.

So, what do you think so far? it's inspired by relic hunter and tomb raider.
