I ran to the window and looked out. The monster had disappeared. I ducked in the nearest empty room when I heard footsteps.
"..."
I listened carefully.
"...Hello?"
The boy noticed that the door was severely damaged. His eyes widened. He then turned as if he heard something. I heard it too. A single step. Then another one. Then a third. The boy tensed. Then he relaxed. I sneaked a peek. It was a giant guy that looked like a gangster, But I could tell from his eyes that he had been in the police. He looked at the boy strangely and said something. I couldn't tell. He then looked behind the boy. I saw he was staring at the bloodstain that I had created when I struck the monster.
"Have you seen… A Monster?!"
"What."
"Yes, a Mon...Monster. I saw it heading for the stairways…!"
"Are you KIDDING ME!?" the guy said threateningly.
The boy flinched and his nose started bleeding. He glanced at it.
"what?...I haven't even hit you yet…"
The boy collapsed. At that moment the girl came rushing out of her room.
"What happened?"
The guy didn't say anything. He took his fist and smashed it against the door. He examined the dent it made. It was nothing compared to the giant dent that the monster had left.
"Ok...you take the boy back to his room." the guy said.
"What…?" The girl seemed confused.
"You see your door? There's no way that whoever made that is human…"
I noticed that the boy had shattered the end of one of the brooms, creating a makeshift spear. I smiled at the creativity. The big guy grabbed the boy and lifted him in a fireman's carry. They then walked back into the boy's room and laid him down on the bed. I turned around and headed for the 1st floor.
