You felt a gentle yet firm grasp on your upper arm, as Jack's hand began leading you across the room.
You moved hesitantly, your eyes fixed on the creature wearing Cecile like a skin suit.
As Jack led you across the room, without thinking you reached out and grabbed Toby's hand, trying to urge him to follow.
But he shook off your hand, giving you a dirty look before quietly moving alongside you, taking care not to alert the creature that was literally wearing Cecile.
Jack let go of your arm and knelt down by the hatch you had found earlier, starting to pry it open.
You and Toby kept an eye on 'Cecile', realising that she was extremely close to making it out of the door.
As you stood behind Jack your attention was drawn to the sight of Cecile's insides being dragged across the floor, the squelching noises filling the room made even Toby appear horrified.
You snapped out of your thoughts as you heard Jack's voice below you.
"You coming?"
You looked around the room one final time and spotted your phone lying on the floor.
"I'll be down in a second," you whispered to Jack and pointed to your phone.
He nodded and made his way down the ladder and you quietly crawled over to your phone.
As you grabbed your phone, your lip curled in disgust as you noticed that it was covered in an ungodly amount of blood.
Pushing aside your distaste, you shoved it into your pocket and wiped your sticky hand on your jeans before quietly making your way back towards Jack and Toby who had disappeared down into the basement.
Every step you took, the ladder groaned and creaked beneath your weight, making you snap your head up towards the creature wearing Cecile's skin.
It was just about to finally step out the door, and your heart felt like it was going to burst out your chest.
With a loud snap, the wooden step beneath you suddenly buckled, and you found yourself hitting the hard, cold floor below.
The pain sent a shock through your body, and you looked around for Jack and Toby, you felt paralysed.
Your attention was quickly drawn upwards as you heard a sickening, piercing scream fill the air.
Looking up, you found "Cecile" staring down at you, her gaze empty as you lay there on the concrete floor of the basement.
Your body trembled as you struggled to regain your footing.
You cast a fearful look up at "Cecile", who continued to stare at you with a chilling silence.
"Please don't, please don't , please don't," you whimpered to yourself as you stepped backwards.
You seen a figure move in the shadows ahead of you and realised it was Toby.
Part of you actually felt relieved.
Toby put a finger up to his lips and signalled for you to come over to him.
You quickly covered your mouth and quietly walked over to Toby, you expected "Cecile" to grab you and begin ripping you to pieces as soon as you went past the hatch, but nothing happened..she remained staring...listening.
You noticed that Jack had silently emerged from the shadows and was now stood under "Cecile".
You were about to yell out to Jack but it dawned on you that the creature was blind but possessed exceptional hearing.
