They'd been walking for hours now. The rain was falling so hard, it seemed to create a wall of water around their tired and weary figures. Everyone was soaked, of course, and chilled to the bone. Joe and Mimi were sticking close together, as were Tai and Sora. Yolei was trying to get to Ken, but Matt blocked her. So, much to his dismay, Yolei clung to Matt instead. The TK, Davis, Kari, Yuuki, and Ken were sort of huddled in one big group, and Izzy was hugging his laptop, which inside Kari's backpack. Akira stuck with Shouri and Rick, and Cody was trying to hang out with the older kids. He finally gave up and went with Izzy. The lightning lit up the sky, and they could make out the image of some sort of building in front of them. Everyone looked at the person they were closest to. "Did you see that?"
"Let's go!"
"Race you there!"
"Don't run!"
"Wait for me!"
"Hey, we don't know what's in there!"
"Just c'mon!"
"No more rain! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!" The girls took off for the house, eager to get out of the pounding rain. The boys weren't far behind. The lightning flashed again. They found themselves on a rickety old porch. The paint was peeling from the wood, and the door knob just fell off. "Uh," TK stuttered. "Should we go in?" Sora screamed. "What?! What was it?!" Tai yelled. Sora cowered. "I... I thought I saw something in the window." Yolei took a step closer to Ken. "What was it?" Sora shrugged. "I dunno. It's not there now." There was an eerie silence. "Well, let's go in," Tai said, trying to sound brave. They pushed the creaky old door open.
