Once cia finally felt the bottom of the pit with her outstretched fingers the rope was released and she dropped with a heavy thump to the dirt floor. She gasped for breath as the wind was knocked out of her. She waited for her eyes to adjust to the dim light and looked at the various tunnels or cave openings that filled the walls around her. She shivered as she imagined what lived down here. She had heard the cries of others that had been sacrificed and remembered hearing either her sister or the other girl that had been sacrified with her screaming out with fear. There was nothing to show that anyone had been killed or come to any harm at the bottom of the pit. She could see no bones, no blood...nothing at all, except something like snake trails in the sandy dirt leading into one of the tunnels or cave openings. She decided that to go in the opposite direction was the best option for her, she thought to herself, how pissed she was that her thigh high boots were taken off her by one of the village elders wives, before her feet were tied and they lowered her down. she had been mocking cia as they held her downn and stripped her jewellery and bots off her.  "Fat bitch", she said out loud to herself. "I bet she's already gone through my things and kept everything for herself and her fat lazy daughter". "She's had it in for me since her fat husband had payed me to give him what she couldn't" Cia, began walking towards one of the openings, she noticed that it was quite light inside one tunnel, so she chose that one to explore.
