Panicked, Kev and Anya struggled to keep the latch door closed as they heard knocking coming from underneath. They knew now that it wasn't friendly and they weren't taking any chances, using their combined weight and the weight from their backpacks, the two struggled as they started feeling hands hitting the underside of the latch door. Something's desperate in getting inside and they weren't keen on letting it.

Feeling the repetitive hits, enough to send jolts through them, the two struggled as they tried to keep whatever's down there at bay.

As they struggled, the two noticed that something's in the window looking in, causing Anya to scream at the sight.

It's one of the angel statues, almost about to climb inside hadn't they spotted it.

"What do we do?" Anya's voice wavered as she felt her throat closing while struggling to breathe.

Kev didn't have any ideas of escaping, but he realized that when they weren't watching the statues, they moved, and he figured if they watched this one, it couldn't move.

Since they have no other option, Anya agreed with his observation, and kept watch of the statue in front of them while keeping the other one from trying to break inside.

She didn't want to think of what they'd do to them if they succeeded in getting inside.

On her mind, Anya frantically prayed as she whimpered.

There weren't angel statues near the train yard before, she reasoned, they're all in the cemetery elsewhere, nowhere close to the train yard!

Here she is, faced with one eying her, and she wasn't exaggerating, either. It's eying her like she's some cold Coke in the fridge.

Watching the statue and keeping the other at bay with their weight, the two panicked, as they realized it's only a matter of when they blink, and what'll happen afterwards.

"I don't want to die," Anya whimpered.

Kev calmed her as he promised they'll be fine, unconvinced himself, but he wanted to keep Anya calm at all cost, and he promised her that when they get out of this, he'll buy her a ring. Promise.

The thudding grew louder as the fists slammed against the underside while the two struggled to keep their weights on the latch door on top of keeping an eye on the statue in front of them.

Tears ran down Anya's face as her emotions whelmed her and Kev's cursing up a storm as they don't know what to do, eventually they'll have to blink, and not only that, it's a matter of when the wood begins splintering and unable to withstand the brute force.

The two braced as they realized they're out of options and as they prepared to face their Maker, they heard an odd mechanical noise, loud enough that the thudding stopped.

Unable to hold their eyes open, the two blinked and braced, but when they opened their eyes again, the angel statue in the window's gone, and they didn't feel the thudding anymore.

"Wh-where'd they go?" Anya quizzically looked as she tried to catch her breathe.

Kev replied that he didn't know, but they shouldn't loiter, they needed to get out of here, and Anya agreed.

They abandoned their backpacks and opened the latch door, the statue beneath gone, and they carefully climbed down.

The moment their feet touched the ground, they began running back to the train yard. Once they go through the gate, they're home free, and able to run back to the village.
