Clara never felt like she belonged in the world. Being the middle child of the Wheeler family and having to compete with her perfect twin, Nancy Wheeler, made everything suck for her. She didn't want to live life like any other people. She wanted to...

Steve drove his car with Clara sitting in the passenger seat and Dustin in the back seat. "Wait a sec. How big?"
"First it was like that." Dustin showed the size by hand gestures. "Now he's like this."
"I swear to God, man, it's just some little lizard, okay?"
"It's not a lizard."
"How do you know?"
"How do I know if it's not just a lizard?"
"How do you know it's not just a lizard?"
"Because his face opened up and he ate my cat!" Dustin exclaimed, getting fed up with Steve's questioning.
Clara pursed her lips to keep silent while Steve tilted his head and nodded.
When they all arrived at the Henderson residence, Steve grabbed his bat from the trunk. Whilst he did, Dustin stood next to him while Clara went over to the basement doors recklessly. Steve and Dustin watched as she did so in shock.
Clara walked down the tile pathway until she got to the basement doors. She shined her flashlight at the chain lock while she waited for the boys. After a minute, they finally caught up to her. Steve hesitantly banged on the door a few times with his bat and didn't hear a sound. He proceeded to shine his flashlight right in Dustin's face. "All right, listen, kid. I swear, if this is some sort of Halloween prank, you're dead."
"It's not. It's not a prank." Dustin denied as he squinted his eyes. The light in his face was extremely bright. "Get it out of my face."
"You got a key for this thing?"
Dustin handed Steve the keys to the basement lock. Steve kneeled down and slowly opened the double doors one by one. He stood back up straight and looked down into the darkness.
"Let me see that." Steve lightly took Dustin's flashlight out of his hands.
Clara and Steve shined their flashlights into the dark and the room brightened up. She pulled her medieval sword out of the safe leather covering and started to walk down the stairs. She got to the bottom of the steps and made her way over to the lightbulb. She pulled the string on the lightbulb and it turned on. She looked at the basement ground to see a pastel green substance that looked like puke.
"Guys, get down here." Clara called to Steve and Dustin.
They walked down the stairs and met up with Clara. Steve was disgusted by the substance and Dustin was frightened.
"Oh, shit." Dustin said when he saw the green goop. Steve pointed his flashlight towards the hole in the basement walls when Dustin freaked out. "Oh, shit!"
They all kneeled down to her a closer look at the hole in the wall. There seemed to be a tunnel that went down really far.
Clara shined her light down the tunnel and tilted her head at the sight. "Son of a bitch."
