I immediately go to the stuff, and ripped my shirt into half, i guess it's a homemade crop top now.

"What are you doing?!" James asks.

"I'm making some spears!!" I answer back.

"What?!" Ivan questions. "At a time like this?!"

"That's the reason why I'm making them!"

I turned and see Ivan and James struggling really bad, I picked up the pace, started making a spear, Lisa made one too, I stood up and show him three sloppy, odd-looking spears, three Spears that can be made with those things. I throw the first spear, and it's too low! I hear something... It's a bit louder and fast approaching! Whatever it is! It sounds like bad news!

I throw the second one, it was too high! I almost speared Ivan!

"Watch it!"

This is the last spear. Don't miss...

I see Ivan slipping, but he's holding on nicely under the circumstances, Ivan finally held the ledge again, gave me a short relief, James then slowly crept his fingers around Ivan's wrist to secure him. Everything became slow, my heart is beating fast, it's happening again...

I secure my aim, I inhaled and exhaled, the sound is now fast approaching, screeching sounds, what is it? I took a heavy and solid stance, ready to throw it, Ivan catches a glimpse of me and prepared for the worst, James gives me a frightful look, I see Lisa in my peripheral visions, scared out of her wits, looking at me, praying for me to save Ivan. 

I threw it, as it glides through the air, Ivan lifted his feet, and James pulled him higher, Lisa, stared at it, and then closed her eyes... I did as well, I crossed my fingers...

I opened my eyes, Ivan isn't on the ledge, and his arm is around James! I did it! Yes! Well... Actually, he's on top of James... Wait... What is that?

"Do you hear that?" I turn to Lisa.

Her eyes widened.

"Duck for cover!! Now!!!"

The doors are jammed! Ivan rolled over so that James can close the doors; James is having the same problem!

Everything became dark, the screeching is unbearable! What are those? I felt something grab my leg! I was about to scream, and then someone covers my mouth! Shushed me... Is that Lisa? Something crawled, flied, and held on to me! I tried not to scream.

A couple of minutes have past, everything is still dark, the screeching stopped, and I’m keeping myself quiet...

The lights opened... The lights are really dim, my eyes widened to see hundreds of bats! Oh gosh!

"Be quiet... They won't hurt us if we keep quiet..." She whispers.

I wave at both Ivan and James, they're okay... We all have scratches, our hair is messed up, I put my fingers upon my lips, shushing them, telling them to be quiet, I look to both sides, the hall I came from is still blocked, I looked to the other side... Is that a door?

'Is there a door at you side there?', I mouthed at them, they nodded, I told them to walk slowly, gesturing. My abdomen is covered with scratches, the ceiling was lowered, and the bats made it lower, we slowly walked the long hallway, the bats have strong hearing... The hallway is really long, the door is a size of a really small dot! And being quiet while they're this close is really making my heart speed up, we hear a clang.

"That psycho didn't mention any bats," Lisa angrily whispers.

I nodded at her.

"Where did they come from?" I asked silently.
