" Shhhh!" Lily pressed both her hands against the youth's mouth in panic, almost choking him.
The rest of the group held their breath, their hearts pounding as they listened for any suspicious noise on the other side of the door.
Clang! Clang!
Kevin was the first to hear the rattling from the pipes above them, followed by Jake and the others.
Did they find us?
Jake wasn't sure, but his knuckles had turned white from gripping his machete so hard. If the ceiling threatened to collapse, he would strike instantly.
After a few minutes, the rattling drifted away before being replaced by silence again.
"Phew... This Ordeal is not good for my blood pressure." Daniel tried to play it down with little success.
With the monsters gone, Kevin gave a gentle slap to the back of Tim's head to relieve his excess stress.
"If you want to die, you don't have to drag us down with you." He muttered under his breath.
"Sorry..."
