The Sinkhole

(Note: This story involves demon nightmare monsters [that I call SpiderWings] and spooky imagery that can possibly scar children, be warned. It is also just a one time thing, I won't be adding onto it or making another one unless somebody asks me to. Also this Locust is a different Locust than my other story, I just reused the name because I'm lazy.)
I feel like writing about the demon tribe.
Two HiveWing dragonets, one boy one girl, were out exploring the vast savanna. “Mom was right.. It is boring..” Locust said as he sat down to rest. “Oh, come on!.. There has got to be more!” Mantis said as she pulling Locust back up. “Can’t we just go back?.. There is nothing out here except elephants and..” Locust cut himself off. “What?” Mantis said. “That, do you see it?” Locust pointed over to a clearing in the field. “I think it’s a hole.” he continued.
Both dragonets raced over to the hole and to their surprise found it extremely deep and big. The hole itself seemed to go on for miles, while the hole was only a few hundred feet wide at least. “That doesn’t seem safe..” Locust said. “Oh come on, you’re such a wimp. It’ll be fun!” Mantis said. Before Locust could reject, Mantis hopped into the sink hole. “Jump in!” she said, calling after him. “No thanks. I’ll wait out here for you to come back.” Locust said as he sat down.
A half an hour passed, no signs of her. “Mantis?” Locust called out for her. No response. Maybe she’s just a bit lost.. She’ll be back soon enough, I hope.. Locust thought to himself.
Two hours passed, and no signs of her. Locust was getting worried now. Night was starting to fall and realized he needed help. He quickly flew back to the Wasp Hive and alerted some guards that Mantis was missing. A group of guards followed after Locust as he lead them to it. “Holy Clearsight, that’s deep..” said one of the guards. “When was the last time you saw her?” one guard asked. “Three hours ago, we were playing and she went down there.” Locust said. “Alright, we’ll take it from here.” said the red HiveWing.
Locust followed after the guards into the sinkhole. Everything felt off about it. The bits of dirt fell like dew on the house plant Locust’s parents kept. The hole had multiple tunnels leading underground and as they went deeper, things only got stranger. Locust saw bundles of silk on some of the ledges in the hole. Locust reached out to touch one, only for it to collapse on itself. “Don’t touch anything, kid.” said a nearby guard.
After what seemed like forever, they reached the bottom of the sinkhole, where a giant lake that went on for miles could be seen under the ground. It was so dark the water looked black as the night sky on a foggy day. Locust turned around and saw a HiveWing guard’s ears perk up. “I think I just heard something..” he said. “Come on kid.” the guard continued as he flew back up.
The HiveWing stopped at one of the ledges and walked towards a massive tunnel. It didn’t look natural, as if something carved it. It was too smooth, too empty, too big. “I’ll be right back.” the guard said as he walked in. Locust stood there and watched the guard get swallowed by the darkness.
After a few minutes, Locust thought he could hear a scream from inside, followed by silence. Locust was panic stricken and flew up to find another guard, only to find all of them had disappeared. Suddenly, Locust could hear a faint voice. “Help..” the voice said. Locust turned to one of the tunnels. “Mantis?” Locust said as he flew over to it. He walked into the tunnel.
The tunnel’s walls were smooth for a dirt tunnel made miles under the ground. It smelt like death however. Locust ventured deeper into the tunnel and heard the voice again. “Help.. So.. Cold..” it said. “Mantis!” Locust said with tears in his eyes. He ran towards Mantis, only to find a wall. “Wh-what?..” he said. Then, Locust could sense something there. He turned around, nothing. He then looked up, and fear spread throughout his body faster than ever. Above him was a scaleless, hairless, eight legged monster; dripping drool and shaking. It had no eyes and Locust could see its mouth full of sharp and jagged teeth. “Found. You.” A voice coming from the creatures mouth, sounding like Mantis said. It dropped to the ground and stood up straight. It towarded over Locust and it seem to grin as it moved slowly towards Locust. Locust screamed, but before he could even call for help, the beast used one of its front legs to pierce Locust in the stomach. Locust’s last seconds were spent being in pure pain as the beast wrapped up Locust in a ball of silk and began to eat away at Locust’s guts.
