"Okay! You need to tell us all the information you have on every single one of these supernatural creatures. " Matthew said.
"Matthew is right, we need to know what we're going up against!" Nigel said cooly.
"I will okay. But first, we need to find a way to get inside the castle. The potion will wear off soon." Mordecai replied. He turned to look at Matthew. " Matthew, which way leads to the secret passage?"
"This way!" Matthew said. He led them to the back of the castle towards the stables. There, he ran his hands all over the wall, trying to find the brick that will trigger the mechanism and open the entrance.
Henry and Nigel joined him in searching for the trigger while the others were on the lookout for potential threats. The potion Mordecai took began to wear off and one by one his body parts began to return to their normal appearances.
"Hurry up! Do you want us to be captured?" Cecelia asked.
"We're trying." Henry replied. "Just wait a bit longer."
"I'm afraid we don't have a bit longer....listen. " Nigel said, drawing everyone's attention to the sounds he had been taking notice of.
They all became silent and listened. Soft grunts made by a group of supernatural creatures were slowly approaching their location.
"I know that sound anywhere...Zombies!!! We need to open that door now!" Mordecai yelled.
"We can handle them, can't we?" Viola asked Mordecai.
"Maybe if there were few zombies but zombies never travel alone. They move together in hordes."
"Come on! Open it already! " Cecelia yelled.
Everyone was tense, their faces filled with unease and panic. The grunts and moaning were getting louder and closer.
"Matthew!?" Viola yelled, urging him to search faster.
"I'm trying!" Matthew yelled back while frantically searching for the mechanism.
