Chapter 2 - Other Worldy Creatures

"Happy Birthday Lillian. You're 17 now!" Grandmother says as she brought the towering strawberry cake onto the table. 

Its my 17th birthday.  Its been 4 years since the incident and now I'm i my junior year of high school.  Every day at 12:00am I get sent to that world. No one knows about it. And no one will.

"Oh wow. Grandmother, you've truly outdone yourself this year. The cake looks delicious." I say as I stare at the cake then go to hug my grandmother.

The cake was delicious. And my Grandparents had gotten me this real silver sword. It was sharp and could detach to become dual blades. I had it kept in my room.

- - - 11:30 pm - - -

My alarm had just went off and its 30 minutes till the time it happens. I got ready with weapons and such. I stay there for 5 hours. 5 hours of survival from the monsters. I grab the new silver swords as well as a fully filled first aid kit. I sat there is agony at 11:45 waiting.

I turned to my left to see a mirror on a grey wooden vanity. My straight, black hair was in a high ponytail. Usually it would be till my shoulders. My green eyes(orbs :>) shined against my too pale skin. I looked away from the mirror and to the swords.

I stared at the silver blades shining in the moonlight. The handle with false gold twisted within it. I had spent a while looking at it since I received it, but it wasn't until now that I notice d something odd.

On the backside of the blade there were words on half of it embedded with the same false gold as the handle. It read, in its small letters:

To whom is leaving,

Read this weaving.

At 12 midnight,

You will wake to a fight.

The creatures will scare,

Fight them if you dare.

To survive you must...

And it ended there. Whoever made this sword knew about the secret world of horrible creatures. I thought my grandparents must know something about it.

Just as that thought entered my mind the alarm clock rang and then I was in nothing but darkness. Must be 12am. After a moment I was there.

I opened my eyes to the room I left off in. There is a cup of water and a small meal. The meal seems to be a soup. I had this food, ignoring any suspicions and then walked out of the room.

And thanks to my luck, there is a monster. Right outside the room. I take my sword out and separate it to the dual swords. I take a quick glance behind me to see the room had disappeared.

I try to be as quiet as possible.I take a singular step, and to my luck something under my foot crunched. I heard a low growl and quickly stepped right back. I gripped my swords tighter and looked around. It was very dark so I didn't see much. I looked around till I saw a light in the distance. About 20 yards.

The light suddenly grew brighter. Or maybe it was spreading. Either way I was starting to see where I was. I looked around.

I was in a large dark cave with creatures everywhere.

They were all asleep. I had to be really quiet. I trekked my way through wit out making a sound, getting closer and closer to the source of the spreading light.

It was... an elevator? This world usually threw many odd and crazy things my way so I didn't bother spending to much time thinking about it. After checking it for any dangers I walked inside and pulled the lever. I heard something come from the elevator and all the creatures suddenly rose up.

One ran straight at me. Its large bulging eyes glaring and its hand slashed at the elevator.
