The Chamber of Eyes
Chapter 1.
After Cubiculum Domina finally escaped ‘The Chamber of Doors’, she had worried about the other innocent civilians who got trapped. She feared what came next. She knew there was a permanent way out of The Chamber of Doors, so she blocked off the exit she used. She wanted to leave and visit her family because she loved them a lot. But she needs to first save everyone else who got caught under this scheme. She was an ordinary woman who owned a handmade jewelry shop. She was lucky enough to finish The Chamber of Eyes before she was haunted by the whispers that come with staying after one hour.
Cubiculum Domina cautiously peeked around each corner, she didn’t know if the same kind of monstrosities from The Chamber of Doors was in The Chamber of Eyes. She had angered the creatures inside of The Chamber of Doors. She felt a bit bad because then she didn’t know how the creatures were to treat the newbies. She felt queasy after standing around for a while. It felt like her stomach was turning. She didn’t have many fears, but of course one of them is being stared at, also known as scopophobia. The eyes twisted around, not really looking at her, but she was informed about what happens after several hours in the chamber, they would stare at you. The eyes wouldn’t make eye contact, but it would almost feel like they would stare right through you. Apparently, it feels like they’re silently judging you.
Cubiculum Domina sat in a small corner and rummaged through her purse. It was a custom made purse for one of her customers. It was a gorgeous bedazzled white leather purse. Nobody ever trusted Cubiculum Domina with white things, she was extremely messy. She loved white things though, when she got white things dirty, she would call it a piece of art. She had some sort of—designs on all her white articles of clothing, including other items such as dressers, tables, floors, and much more. They weren’t exactly visually pleasing to the public, she didn’t care what other people thought. She was ridiculed over almost everything, her hair, her clothes, her physical appearance. She got over it after 12 years of her life, she was only 13 though.
This year of her life was different, she didn’t care about it anymore. But of course when her life seems to get better, there’s always some sort of downfall. She adjusted and got comfortable in the corner she was sitting in. There were helpers in almost every chamber, such as Lars from The Chamber of Doors. Lars got on her nerves though. Lars acted like she was helpless, just because she looked helpless. She finally found a bottle of water in that purse. Her arms were weak because she had gone through so much while running, opening doors, and just everything. She was extremely tired. She tried to untwist the cap of the water bottle with her flimsy arms. She finally managed to pop the cap off. She took a refreshing sip of water. It felt addictive since she was dehydrating. Once she took the rim of the bottle out of her mouth, all the water was gone! She accidentally used all of her water. That was her only bottle.
Cubiculum Domina was frustrated, she began to insult the eyes. She turned around and crossed her arms, continuing to insult the eyes. She turned back to the eyes and they were crying! She raced back to the eyes and caught the tears into her water bottle. She slurped down the entire thing. She even stuck her tongue in to get the extra drops. She was relieved. She took a stick that fell off when she barricaded the entrance. She pulled out the stick and began to jab the stick into the eye’s pupil. The entire eye popped and she fell face flat into a hole.
Cubiculum Domina turned back around to where she fell through and she saw a ladder. She had an opportunity to climb back up, but she needed to uncover every secret of this place to save any other unfortunate individual who got stuck here. Every time she stepped forward, the wooden floor would let out a large creak. She lifted the heel of her foot up so she put noise to a minimum. Soon, the ground she was about to step on collapsed. There was water underneath the ground. It was like a miniature swamp. It had cattails but they were bent since it’s stem was lowered down for such a long time. It had some grass growing in the water as well. Her feet were bare, so it was uncomfortable to walk in the water. She soon made it onto grassy land. She couldn’t see where the narrow floorboards came back together. She thought it might’ve gotten rid of every remaining piece of the wooden floor. The hallway lasted around an hour. She was nearing the end of the hallway. There were seven miles, each mile was a biome. The last one was the Tundra. Whatever affects you would get from the real biome, transfer onto the miniature one she was trailing on. She finally got to the end, there was a large stash of supplies such as food, drinks, and clothing. Cubiculum Domina stuffed as much as she could into her tiny purse. Not all the clothing fit, but that was fine. She could get it some time later once it’s needed. She began to trail back to the entrance.
This time, she was watching out for everything, she was looking for clues or items. She had a gut feeling that she was missing something extremely important or vital to her mission. She began to feel nauseous, she ran faster. She saw the ladder but it kept getting further and further away. She slowed down to take a breath. Suddenly, reality came jerking in her face. If she didn’t have hallucinations, she would’ve realized that she was already in front of the ladder. As she was climbing, her foot slipped off and the entire ladder came tumbling down. Something broke her fall. She rolled her body around and faced the floor to see what it was. It was a human! She freaked out and immediately got up.
“Please! Help me! I’ve been here for weeks, those supplies were mine. I need it. Please help me out!” the strange woman said, “Tell me your name.” Cubiculum Domina said, “Huh?” the strange woman replied, “Tell me your name now.” Cubiculum Domina demanded, “I’m sorry. My name is Dominae Prisoner. I have a husband with four children” the woman answered, “It’s fine. My name is Cubiculum Domina-.``Before she could finish, Dominae Prisoner cut her off and said, “Mistress! I am so sorry for causing you this trouble, please leave me to die.” Dominae Prisoner begged for forgiveness.
Cubiculum Domina told the lady that she should not apologize for nothing, that she didn’t do anything wrong. She questioned her on why she called her Mistress. Apparently, her name means Chamber Mistress. There is a group of people who are the master and or mistress of a certain chamber. Their names will be different depending on what chamber they mastered. She never knew the meaning of her name, it was a secret kept by her grandfather. She didn’t really understand her name. It didn’t reveal some big chamber that she mastered. Out of the ones she’s done, it would probably be The Chamber of Doors because of her short time it took. Obviously her name isn’t something stupid like “Door Domina” or “Cubiculum Domina Door”. She understood the woman’s worries. She offered to help, and was interested in getting her out.
“No! You don’t understand. The mistresses and masters can’t help the victims. You’re just a spectator! You get out, now! Save yourself!” Dominae Prisoner yelled as she threw Cubiculum Domina out through the hole of the eye.
She looked down at the woman once again and sorely waved, then she walked away. She met a corner, it wasn’t normal though. It had a mirror in the middle of it and it had two ways. Left or right. She decided to go left. She noticed the eyes open, so she kicked it in its eye and it began to cry. She continued running down the path, but she heard footsteps behind her. They were fast and soft. There were also shuffling noises, whoever or whatever was chasing her sure had a lot of stuff. As they heard the noises getting louder and began to seem closer, a buzzing noise slowly produced. It was a buzzing noise like a bee, but softer. She was facing backwards so she could possibly see what was chasing her, she was still running though. As soon as she turned back around, she tripped. She crawled back up off the ground, pulling herself up by some rocks on the wall.
