Everyone's mind was clouded heavily as they stared at the doors desperately.
Blow them away!
~Bang. Bang. Bang~
The thundering bullets flew out from their weapons as if it were a war zone.
And the sparks and flashed from all the firing seemed to illuminate the dimly lit room from time to time.
Destroy. Destroy. Destroy. Destroy!
They didn't dare to slow down, as they fired uncontrollably at the only thing now standing between them and freedom.
And after firing for what seemed like an eternity, they suddenly froze, looked at the doors and almost burst out into tears.
Dammit!
How did they forget that these doors were reinforced and sturdier than ordinary ones?
The doors and even the latches were made for keeping the enemy out.
They didn't even do any major damage to the doors after all that firing.
One could only find scratches or marks here and there instead.
F***!
Dread grew within their chests as everyone tried their best to pry the doors open.
No matter how sound and bold one was, ending up in such a situation, trapped in a room with an unknown thing that they didn't know how to kill, would inevitably make terror bloom in their hearts as time passed by.
And without a doubt, even the guards who felt courageous before were shaken to their core with the turn of events.
Their breathing grew hoarse as they raised their legs and kicked or slammed the doors with a crazed look in their eyes.
"Open! Open! Why won't you open for me?!"
~Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Tensions were high, and their veins were already bulging out in desperation.
But how could they have known that this was just the beginning of a fun night?
~BRRRMMMMMM!
The chandeliers began shaking greatly, and the couches began floating and spinning around the room as a crazy gust of wind fumed in, creating a storm within the hall.
Everyone's body went numb with shock, they saw the scene before them.
Too strong!
The strong winds lifted several people and spun them around as if they were rolling around in the sinking Titanic, with many forcefully hitting themselves against the walls in agony.
~Bam! Bam! Bam!
Some people already saw stars from all the hits to their heads and bodies.
"Uggh...."
The loud chiming chandeliers and exclamations of other panic-filled people quickly covered up the moans of many.
But just when they thought that they would forever end up getting bashed and thrown around all night in this tornado, hurricane winds, the strong gust of wind suddenly stopped. And at this moment, everything, including everyone floating, fell hard on the ground mercilessly in one loud bang.
~Bam.
Thinking like that, the thing's eyes curved upwards.
~Swish!
What???!
Old Gia and several others looked around in blind horror while trying to suppress the shivers within them.
It vanished. It vanished!
Instantly, their scalps tingled.
Where was it? Where was it?
The dimly dark room, the weird sounds of drumming on the walls, and the impending fear of the unknown lurking in the dark, was enough to make one have a heart attack, talk less of losing their wits at a time like this... Especially the children who grabbed the adults with their cold, clammy hands.
It's been a long time since they, the Gia grandsons, had cried.
Today, they seemed to be able to shed buckets, with some even releasing the dragons of pee too.
But they dared not cry out loud for fear that whatever was within the dark would get them.
They... They wanted to go home.
They had never been so traumatized and frightened in their entire lives!
And just when everyone was freaking out of their wits, they heard a loud cry coming from above.
~Ahhhhhh!
Everyone looked upwards, and Butler Feng also flashed a torch there too.
It was on the ceiling! It was on the ceiling!
Yes. They found it.
But it was just that the image they saw was enough to send them into cardiac arrest.
They watched as the thing stood upside down on the ceiling, and in one single bite, it bit off a guard's entire head after its mouth expanded into 10 times its regular size.
Blood smeared its mouth, leaving the most horrid image to them.
~Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
In just 3 more bites, the entire human had been swallowed.
~Plugh.
She burped out the person's clothes and every other indigestible item.
Tonight, she could eat both flesh and soul.
Everyone watched her crunch the bones, not even daring to breathe, speak or call its attention to them.
The amount of fear wired in their bodies made their eyes eclipse and roll to the back of their heads.
But little did they know that this was just the beginning.
Tonight, the blood bath began.
"Run! Run! Pry open the doors again!"
"No! No! Save me! It's got my leg!"
"Shoot! Shoot! Waste the bullets on it!"
"Dammit! Where is a missile when you need one?"
"Help! Help! Save me!"
~Bang Bang. Bang Bang. Bang.
