Something heavy was bouncing on the ground in a regular rhythm. The force of the impact sent everything off the ground for a split second only to land back on the ground. The small lamp on the nightstand inched closer and closer to the edge with every bounce. In the end, it was shattered to pieces when it hit the floor.
I opened my eyes in alarm. I sat up on the bed and threw a glance outside of the window warily. What time was it? The giant digital clock at the sky showed 3 AM.
"Anty? Are you okay?"
Kitty's voice rang out from outside of my bedroom.
"Yes," I quickly replied. "What is happening?"
"We also don't know. Come out. It feels like an earthquake..."
I climbed off the bed and marched outside immediately. Kitty, Wolfhound, and DragonTalon were already awake and fully alert. They stood at the house entrance. The door was open wide, and the moonlight shone against their faces, casting long shadows on the wall behind them.
