Song Quote: Panic Room
"My phone has no signal It's making my skin crawl. The silence is so loud.
The lights spark and flicker with monsters much bigger than I can control now.
Welcome to the panic room
Where all your darkest fears are gonna come for you, come for you.
Welcome to the panic room
You'll know I wasn't joking
When you see them too, see them too."

Your Pov:
You've been wandering this temple's hallways for so long, your body is growing weary. From dodging more gilded swords and fighting off rabid bats, to the winding hallways going in never ending directions.
You tried going down the stairs back to the entrance hoping the ninja would be there, but it would bring you back to the floor you were just on.
At this point it was turning into a never ending maze. No direction, no sounds to follow, nothing.
You're having a hard time breathing.
It is as though someone is pushing their hands on your ribcage, squishing and jabbing your lungs in the process. Breathing in came naturally, but letting out the air came much more difficult.
Your labored breaths would be accompanied with harsh wheezes as you forced air through your ducts. What are they trying to do? Suffocate you?
You had to rip your mask off to increase airflow and prevent passing out.
Your body is reacting to the stress this place is putting on it. The ghost's complex emotions becoming your own. Their anger and agony, the desperation practically ripping at your organs clawing away viscerally.
You're burning from the inside out.
Nothing can quell these spirits nor erase what has tainted these halls.
You lean against the wall and persist forward in your search of the ninja.

Third Person's Pov:
Amidst the chaos, the four ninja sought refuge right back where they started: The Sensei's old office.
"Ah. All right, so there's no way out of the Haunted Temple, but at least all the commotion's died down" The blue ninja alleviates the tense atmosphere.
Kai nodded in approval "Yeah, we just gotta get through the night together. Show Yang we're not scared."
The portrait of Sensei Yang above the hearth moved, tilting his head at the fire ninja curiously as if challenging the bullheaded optimism from the ninja.
"Huh?" Kai's gaze snaps to the portrait only to find the paintings subject looking dead ahead like he always does.
The clock chimes as another hour passes making the ninja jump in fear.
"It's just a clock. We're not afraid of time, but we are afraid of not getting outta here in time" Cole tries reasoning before completely losing it "Oh my gosh, why did we spend the night in a haunted temple?!?!?!"
"Everyone, get ahold of yourselves! Even if my volume wasn't stuck, I'd still be yelling at this decibel!" Zane yells at everyone snapping them out of their frightened frozen state
"Zane's right. What are we doing? We need to toughen up. We're ninja! We already missed out on the Airjitzu the first time, we can't let this opportunity pass" Cole asserts firing up the group.
"Uh, guys?" Kai utters as he spots one of the paintings on the wall of a ship in the sea moving back and forth. "Are pictures supposed to move?"
Any sort of bravery they just gained completely drained from their faces when Jay taps the picture and the painting spills over and into the room.
