GROWL…
The second they entered the mansion, Zoey heard a faint noise of something like a low growl. "Huh? Did you hear that?" She turned to Matthew, tilting her head to the side as she furrowed her brows.
Matthew only offered her a side glance before she traveled her eyes, scanning her surroundings cautiously. As she did so, Zoey heard another low growl which made her turn towards its source.
"What…?" Zoey whispered, taking a step forward as she instinctively moved by instinct without a thought. Fortunately, Matthew stopped her by her arm. "Huh? She looked back at him, bearing a questioning eye.
"There," Matthew slightly perked his chin towards a particular direction. Slowly, Zoey followed his gaze.
As soon as she laid her eyes on the huge black lion, her eyes widened as her entire being froze. "Holy…" Zoey held her breath, watching the majestic lion approach them.
