'Two go in, and one comes out'


"Come on Jake let's go inside," my friend Tom and I were walking down the nearby forest trail when we found an agape cave covered in vines. We went inside of course thinking nothing of it.


'Don't you scream or she'll bite'


Inside wasn't really anything to scary, just an old statue of what looked like a female and a weird shape carved in the floor.


'One for her sacrifice'


"Look Jake," Tom pointed at this weird prick in the middle of the engraved floor. "Don't touch it," I said half heartedly but of course he ignored me and he touched it. His eyes rolled back now white as the prick got bigger and taller stretching through his body. The engraved floor filling with Jake's blood.


'One with good luck'


I couldn't move, I couldn't scream, the statue was now alive and right in front of me, her hair tangled, her skin rotten gesturing for me to keep my mouth shut, I obey. When Tom was finally drained she smiled at me and handed me a bag, before going back to her resting spot. I left in shock never looking back, only now a life filled with fortune.
