"Please tell me you're joking." Jackie pleaded.

"Would I joke about something like this?" Riley asked.

"He's right." Amanda said feeling the claw marks. "I know these claw marks anywhere." The team stayed silent for another few seconds, not sure of what they're going to do to get out of that house.

"We have to get out of here." Sam said. "Through the front door, if we make it, we can probably head back to the church!" As they looked at the front door, something slammed into it, knocking it off its hinges.

"No time!" KC shouted. They were looking around frantically for a way out.

"There's probably a back door somewhere!" Riley screamed. As they looked around, they saw the shadow of a wing by the door. Riley grabbed a plank of wood on the dusty floor. "All of you, go! I'll hold it off!" Riley screamed.

"What?" asked KC scared.

"You heard me, go!"

"I'm not leaving you!"

"Just go, now!" Riley shouted running out the door. KC was about to run after him until Zack grabbed her sleeve.

"KC, come on!" Zack yelled running. KC looked back at the door but then ran to catch up with the group. She ran into a room south of the house that looked like a shed for farm tools. As she looked around for a place to hide, she was grabbed by the hood and pulled into a tight space.

"AH!" she screamed. But then, someone put their hand over her mouth, it was Jackie.

"KC, hush." Jackie whispered. Sam got out from the tight space and went to the back door. He looked through the peep hole and saw Riley swinging the wood at the creature and he hit it a few times.

"Get him, Riley!" Sam whispered. Then, Riley got kicked in the stomach by what looked like a hoof. Riley let go of the wood and collapsed on the ground. "Uh oh." Sam said. He ran back to the tight space and squeezed his way in there.

"What happened?" KC asked.

"You don't wanna know." Sam replied. Then, like at the speed of light, the back door was brought off its hinges. KC and Jackie screamed in terror.

"Shush, shush." Zack repeated. They were breathing hard, waiting for what might come through the door. Then, 2 hooves walked in, upright, like a human, it was growling out of anger. Then, it let out a roar, very carefully, the team peered out and, with the moon light shining down, they all saw the face of the Jersey Devil.
