*Toast's Pov*
When we had started rhe investigation, everything seemed normal. We conducted the usual tests and readings. The ghost had left after we sprinkled salt along the primiter of the house. Once we did that it "freaked out and left" according to Kat.
We where about to walk out of the room but the door slammed shut. "Toast? Whats going on?"
"I'm not sure. But get your gun ready." She held up one of her daggers and in the other the pistol. I held mine at the ready. The lights sparked above and blew out. The window was open but other than that it was dark.
In front of the window out of the shadows appered a teenage boy. He was wearing a hoodie and jeans. I couldn't see the colors because it was dark. The figure moved silently across the floor. He waved his hand downward and the floor opened up beneath us. I quickly grabbed Kats hand, dropped my right pistol into its case and grabbed onto the side ledge, hanging below and abyss for life.
The figure got closer and hissed, "You cannot escape. You will die at some point. I will tourcher you and get your friend at some point, and in the end, he will be mine..." He walked over to the edge. His foot lashed out and kicked me in the head forcing me to let go and go unconscious.
All I knew was that we where falling to our doom and a certian ghost was back for revenge.
~Time Skip~
I woke up covered in dirt with and unconscious Kat to my left. I stood up shakly and took in my surroundings. We where in two seprate cages hanging from the celing. It was made of steal and had one door. It was locked. All my weapons had been removed, and so had Kats.
I sat down in a corner of the cage, it swug a little bit back and forth. Below us was a dark room with large containers, pipes, tools and more. It was a test lab. My biggest fear was that we would be down there someday.
I pushed the thought out of my head and sat down in the corner of the cage. My head was swimming with thoughts. Exausted, and aching all over I forced myself to stay awake. Down below the lights flickered on. A boy walked through the steal double doors. He paced back and forth tapping on the tubes picking up a syringe and placing it back.
"So, Prince Fang, where are the captured cats?"
A dragon waddled foward out of the shadows. "They are in this area sir." He said and pointed a claw at a big box. Prince Fang was working with him! The boy walked over and pulled a sleeping cat out. It woke up and he petted it before putting it on a platform. A glass case went over it and he set it on a convayer belt. He walked over to the main controls and pressed a few buttons typed something in and it started to move.
The cats slept as it went into a large contraption. And what came out when it was done scared me. A large beast came out snarling, it had massive claws, razor sharp teeth, black stripes, against a grey pelt and dead black eyes.
"This will do nicely" said the boy. Kat twitched a bit in her cage but I was asleep before she could wake up. Tiredness over took me and what I had just saw made me want to forget it all in sleep.
