Growls.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Screams!
The cacophony of sounds was bone-chilling.
Lucius stumbled backward, his heart pounding uncontrollably in his chest.
He was terrified.
He could hear a voice trembling somewhere in the darkness, but he couldn't tell where it was coming from.
He was completely disoriented, his mind racing, unable to make sense of anything.
He was hyperventilating, struggling to distinguish left from right.
Then, suddenly… Silence.
"Grrr…"
That ominous growl was the only sound left, echoing through the void.
Lucius held his breath, every instinct screaming at him that whatever was out there would be coming for him next.
He froze, desperately trying to remain still, despite the terror gnawing at him.
Then, as quickly as it had come, the silence returned.
And suddenly, the lamps flickered on.
