A loud bang made Lily flinch as she was the last to climb into the attic. After her feet vanished from the hole, she put the wooden pieces over it and hoped it looked natural from the bedroom. Nothing out of the ordinary.
"It has begun," Xavi whispered, "1, 2…3" then he went quiet having signalled he was counting the 15 minutes.
While Xavi sat there and Lily next to him, Lia looked around the large attic. It was as large as a floor and ran completely through without any walls or doors. It was one gigantic room. Since there were no windows nor artificial lights, it was dark and moody.
Lia's eyes slowly got used to the surrounding and saw that there was nothing. She silently tip-toed, avoiding the area where Xavi and Lily were, in fear she'd step through the hole.
