It just keeps getting worse.

“Where are we?” I asked.

“I don’t know!” Cook said.

“Seriously?” I asked, frowning. How long have we been running. We need a plan.

“Stay together!” Omi shouted. The footsteps grew faster. They just won’t quit! Where do they keep coming from?

“Up ahead!” Omi yelled. There was a door. Was it locked? Only one way to see.

Omi ran ahead. Cook and I ran after him. We didn’t look back. Just get to that door. Get to the door!

Omi grabbed the knob. He opened the door. Yes! It was open! Omi, Cook, and I ran through the door.

It’s so dark in here. When did these halls get so small?

“I can’t breathe,” I said.

“Shhh,” Cook whispered. Now, we were walking. I still had questions. Where were we? Where were we going now? What about our phones? I don’t like this.

Wait… What is that? I strained my ears for a listen. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

“Guys,” I whispered.

“Shhh,” Omi whispered back.

“Do you hear that?” I asked. Cook and Omi took a listen.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

“What is that?” Omi asked. We couldn’t answer. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. It sounded like… I looked up.

Oh…

“Guys…” I said. The walls started shaking around us. My ears were ringing.

“Gah!” I shouted as I rubbed my ears. I could barely hear myself screaming. My legs felt like jelly. Someone grabbed me on the arm. I started blacking out as I was dragged away.
