"Are you okay?" Monty asked confused
"I-I'm okay." I stuttered, is he that unwell to not see how sketchy this all looks? I guess I'm the only one who could save us at this point, I thought to myself as I cautiously walked towards the stairs to follow Jose. I tightened my grip on his hand as I looked up from the first step.
"Please, come up madam. Don't worry, it's safe." Jose urged looking at us from the top of the stairs
I responded with a nod and carefully took the first step through the flight of stairs, the old wood squeaking from under my feet with every step that we took. Monty was quietly behind me, "Phew." I sighed in relief as we got through the first set of stairs without it crumbling under us.
As I turned to see the second set of stairs from the landing my feet felt heavy and the sight paralyzed me as I saw how old and grim the last step would lead to.
