Chapter Text
The water splashed with every step. It was getting higher and higher up her legs the deeper she ventured into the flooded catacombs. The obnoxious graffiti gradually became sparser and sparser, eventually replaced by the muddy handprints of the few that had made it thus far and only wanted to leave a trace of their existence, not to defile a sacred space with spray paint.
But she had to go deeper, deeper to where she could hear the call of whoever had taken an interest in her upon her entry, and trust that they will be merciful - merciful enough to allow her to return safely - Or at least in one piece.

"Heyo my ladybugs and caterpillars, welcome to yet another episode of haunted explorations on my second channel: splash of glitter and woe!" Enid waved around animatedly, her loyal camerawoman giving her a thumbs up.
"We have an extra special episodes for you today, the Nevermore Catacombs! A mass burial site of outcasts and natives in the 1800's, this place has been the subjects of millions of rumors, most of hauntings, paranormal activity and even some hookups!" Enid tried her best to replicate whatever noises she believes ghosts make, giving Yoko a chuckle.

The pair entered the catacombs by first pushing their camera equipment through and then lying down and crawling, squeezing themselves into the small opening until they were able to stand upright again. The sounds of crickets, wind and rustling trees faded behind them until all they could hear was the sound of their own footsteps splashing in the ankle high water.
