Wanted (2012)
“My voice cracked.
My heart started to pound like a drum machine. My skin suddenly tingled all over.
Brad and Marcus didn’t move.
The floorboards squeaked under the soft pad of footsteps. The hoarse breathing was so nearby. Rapid, excited breathing.
“You — you’re not scaring us!” I choked out. A total lie.
I took a few steps forward. Maybe I could make it to the stairs before our silent visitor attacked.
I let out a cry as I stumbled over something on the floor. Something soft. Something alive. ...“Nooooooo!”
I fell and hit my knee hard on the wooden floorboards. Pain shot through my body.
“Th-there’s a creature up here,” I managed to whisper.
“I can’t see it. It’s so dark,” Marcus whispered back. “What happened to the light?”
The creature was breathing noisily now. Whatever it was, it knew it had us trapped.
I forced myself to my feet. My knee throbbed.
I stumbled forward. Bumped into something hard. And a white light flashed on.
A floor lamp. I’d bumped into a floor lamp.MoreLess
