Zak walked into the hallway. It was dark. He looked down the long hallway to the silhouette standing at the other side. It stared to walk forward. The moonlight shined through the window; glistening on the creature's fangs. Zak quivered in fear of the creature. He knew he was going to be eaten. The creature started to walk closer. Zak could smell its foul breath, and it smelled like death. Zak's legs started to give out. His entire body gave way. He fell to the ground. He blacked out.
Zak woke up. The bright lights stung his eyes. As they adjusted, he started to make out the medical equipment. He was in the Med Lab. His mom was sitting in the chair next to him reading a book. He had no idea what had just happened.
"Well it's about time you woke up, sleepy head," his mom said to him.
"What happened?" asked Zak. His mom stopped reading her book and looked at Zak. Her face looked very serious.
"You were almost killed by some creature that broke into the house," she explained. Zak had a confused look on his face.
"It was real?" he asked in confusion. His mom nodded her head.
"I told you to never leave your room at night," she replied. "This creature comes at night and eats anything, or anyone, that comes into the hallways of the house. We can't stop it from doing this, but it won't eat you if you stay in your room." Zak looked at his mom. The terrified and confused look on his face was all it took to understand what Zak was thinking. He was afraid that he was going to die. What if the creature came into his room? What would he do then? He already has to deal with Argost; now he has to deal a creature trying to eat him nightly. Can he ever catch a break?
