Aaron rushed down the stairs and turned to Lilly. She hadn't gone downstairs yet, she was at the top of the stairwell, pointing her light at something. Aaron looked closer and saw that it was a small metallic object with a flashing yellow light on the side. He walked down the stairs to the object, he immediately knew what it was.
"What is that?" Lilly asked. Aaron hung his head low.
"It's Kate's camera." Aaron said. He looked back at the fallen camera knowing what It meant. He leaned down and grabbed the handle with his mouth and began walking upstairs. The camcorder had bits and pieces of its harness still attached. But before he could do that, he heard a scraping noise behind him. He spun around and his eyes widened.
The dirt on the floor was swirling around itself, creating small spirals in the dust. But that's not why Aaron was pale. The spirals were advancing towards him.
"RUN!" Aaron hollered. They both took off towards the front door, which slammed shut.
"Oh No!" Lilly cried out.
"Now what?" Aaron asked hysterically. They both heard a demonic screech and turned around. The beam of light that was coming from Lilly's shoulder was now facing the top of the stairwell. They both immediately screamed when an uncasted shadow moved across the wall next to the stairs. Aaron had begun ramming the door, attempting to open it. But It didn't budge. Samson charged out of the hallway at the sound of their screaming. He saw the door was shut and Aaron was trying to open it. Lilly was pale and frozen, starting at the advancing shadow.
"STAND BACK!" Aaron hollered. They all watched him as he head-butted to door, causing the bottom portion to split open. They all ran out of the hole just as a loud screech came from the house. They ran for what seemed like hours before Lilly could no longer run and collapsed on the ground, panting. Aaron and Samson did the same. Lilly and Samson were both equally surprised on how Aaron broke the door. He just plowed through it like it was nothing. The both heard a small groan, and turned to Aaron, who was shaking slightly and had a confused expression on his face. He had a large bruise on the top of his head, and was bleeding slightly.
"Um, I don't feel so good." Aaron said just as a small line of blood leaked from the corner of his eye, almost like he was crying redness. The camcorder clattered as he collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
A/N: Yeah, another short chapter, sorry. So the news:
Bad: This story will probably be shorter than expected, sorry. Good: I already have plans for the story after this, and I'm determined to make it atleast 20 chapters long. So, yeah.
