The darkness was only a partial part of the problem. It was also her brother who added to the issue. Jacob was propped up against the mineshaft wall, practically bleeding to death. His waist-length hair was pinned up in a bun she tied for him 12 days before they entered the damned cave. "Cathy, you need to rest." Jacob's breathy and pained voice wanted to make her cry. Just 2 week ago, he was full of energy, bullying and teasing her, and running around with their pet wolf, Claudinea.
They had discovered that cave 13 days ago. They were running low on ores and needed diamonds and gold to trade for supplies at the local market they visit once a month. The cave had appeared deep enough to find a good mineshaft along with a variety of ores. Without hesitation, they grabbed their pickaxes, torches, backpacks, and weapons and entered the cave. As they descended deeper into the cave, it seemed to never end. At one point, they realised they were lost. "Where do we go from here?" she'd asked. "Let's try back-tracking." Jacob quipped, smirking. 
A sound of footsteps against a cobblestone snapped her out of her flashback to 12 days ago. Tensed, she grasped the diamond sword tightly and was ready to attack the first thing she saw. She couldn't see anything in the darkness that was enveloping the entry on the tiny room she quickly built in the mineshaft they were stuck in. "Cath... Cather... Catherine..." a voice moaned from the darkness. Tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't possibly hold off the demons that were chasing her. 
"Ja, Jac, Jacob..." a second voice seemed to moan from behind her. Her heart seemed to seize in her chest. Her voice caught. Turning around, a sight no one should have witnessed greeted her. Jacob lay unconscious on the floor behind her, blood flowing in scarlet rivers to her feet. His head was resting on something. No, it was someone. "Catherine..." a voice moaned from behind her. Then, all she saw, was darkness.
