A snippet of my book I'm working on...

She was walking down the tunnel. The frozen drops of liquid startling her at every drop. Her eyes adjusting to the darkness, she could only make out slight shadows and tiny plays of light poking out of the walls. She couldn't remember how she got here or where she was going. Whispers were echoing through the tunnel. She couldn't quite make out what they were saying, except her name was apart of it. So she journeyed on toward her name. The cold water beneath her feet was seeping into her boots. She was shivering from the cold. She could see the flickering of light ahead and shadows moving within it. Her heart was pounding in her chest. The closer she got to the flickering shadowy room she could hear faint hums like chanting.

               The cloaked figures were circled around something, all of them chanting incoherent words and weaving back and forth. Karolyn was glued to the spot, she didn't understand what was going on, and why was she here? Was she dreaming? And if she was why could she feel the cold and fear so vividly. Out of the shadowy darkness came the cries of a baby. Karolyn was startled with fear. She realized the cries were coming from within the circle of shadowy figures.
