GRRRR!
A low but deadly roar came from deep within the dark pathway, and the three boys immediately turned silent, their gazes slowly shifting towards the opening.
"What the f*ck was that?" Gerald looked at Max, who couldn't answer his question. "It sounded far away!" Alphonso whispered softly under his breath and he moved back a few steps, his eyes now turned alert.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, a long slimy tentacle shot out from the darkness, catching everyone off guard, grabbing hold of Gerald's feet and dragging him through the stairway with such speed that it was impossible for anyone to react.
"AHHHH!" The loud scream of Gerald was heard as he was pulled into the darkness, leaving a shocked Max and Alphonso to stand in front of the stairway, unable to come to terms with what just happened.
