Chapter 42 - 42

The rest of the group arrived minutes later after we discovered the pit.

"How are we supposed to get down there without running into any traps?" Theo asked.

"We will send two guards down, then they will call us down if the coast is clear." Twilight explained.

So it was settled. Two of the guards went down, and about three minutes past and no call. What was taking them so long?

"Umm... Twilight are they supposed to take-" Lucas was caught off by the sound of Will, one of our guards, calling for clear.

One by one, we climbed down a ladder leading to who knows what.

I entered the pit to a really dark room. Luckily the guards had flashlights with them, so they lead the way.

The room was just like Alex's other hidout, except it's underground. There were a bunch of empty cells and there was a long hallway leading to darkness. The place almost looked like a haunted house. It ran shivers down my spine.

Theo took my hand, sensing my trembling.  "I'm here. Just breathe, ok."

I took a deep breath and followed the others.

"Someone's here. I can feel it." Noah whispered.

"I can too." I agreed. I didn't know how, but I felt the air around me cold and I swear I thought I heard an unfamiliar whispers saying my name.

"Do you think spirits roam around here?" Luna asked.

"I don't know, but something is definitely here and it's not Alex." Noah replied.

That's when I heard a sound, like shattered glass coming from behind me.

"W-what was that sound?" Lucas asked alarmingly.

"We gotta go. NOW!" Twilight ordered.

We started down the hallway and then down the stairs.

The moment I entered the basement, I froze. I came face to face with a ghostly looking figure wearing a dress, staring right at me.
