But then I noticed Lu was trembling. Her ears pricking up, I watched as she whimpered and hid behind me frightfully. Cradling her, I asked quietly, " What? "

Then I heard it too.

Listening out, I overheard a rattle of a door as it became louder and louder. As it gradually became deafening, I heard a woman's voice cry out in help with terror. Faintly, malevolent laughter echoed through the halls as my eyes widened with trauma. Then, both Luna and I sprang back fearfully as we heard a piercing scream which would forever haunt my mind. It must have been 20°c, yet I was uncontrollably shuddering. Hugging Lu's cowering body tightly, we waited in trepidation.

...Silence.

Nor did any of us try to move. Motionless, we both froze as the noises replayed in our minds which had scarred us for eternity. I was starting to break, how much more of this mental torment could I take?

*Five minutes later

After what felt like a lifetime, we heard pacing footsteps which grew louder with each step. Squeezing my eyes shut, I buried my head in Lu's fur as I felt both our hearts palpitate. Terrified, we shrank back as the footsteps abruptly stopped. With a creek, the door to the room opened as a chilling breeze swept through the room.

I didn't dare open my eyes.
