              We immediately pick up the journal and start to head out of the room when we hear the noise eeeehhhhhhhhwwww!!! We sprint for the door and open it, the moment it leaps at us we close the door and there's a loud thump. All we hear is it scurrying and whimpering, probally cause it tried to get to the door but instead got hit pretty hard by it. As we're headed toward the window another door is there just one but I'm scared to death what might be in there, Mathew starts for the window as if nothing happened. "Stop", I said to Mathew out of fear. He turned and said, "what's wrong", looking at me with wonder as if I was a mad man. I said, "there was something that knocked me into the door the same thing might happen again, instead to both of us", I barely brought myself to look at him but when I did , I saw a giant scratch on his forehead and it was still bleeding. As I was staring at Mathew, he said,"why don't we keep going? Cause you never know as far as getting out of this creepy place that window would be the only way out". I stared at Mathew nebulously, because this was the first time I've ever seen him talk the role of a leader. I just simply said, "ok let's go", but a part of me wanted to protest and wanted to say no and just head back the way we came in, but then I remembered the mice.
We started heading toward the window when a strange like figure came out of nowhere and snatched both Mathew and I into the other room. We were knocked against the wall in the room, I saw read, before I could gain consciousness I heard a loud screech, like claws on a chalk board, then every so often I heard a thump. When I looked at what shoved us into the room it was an animal,....no, a human.....no, but when it came into view it was a ghost of a centaur carrying a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, the eyes looked like they were on fire and the mouth produced a horrible gas type smell. I've never heard of this but the one thing I knew was he dragged his sword on the floor and hit the shield on the floor as well every here and there.
I got the book and looked for what he was and it said his name was ghoul, the reason was because as a younger centaur he was serving a mistress for good but came across the badlands he had fought a ghost warrior but the ghost said with his dying breath, "may my soul go to the flesh, the one who bears the kill in his sword and I shall live again". He repeated it 3 times. Then with his sword the centaur dug it through his chest and he evaporated, later that night the centaur felt a bad tie in his stomach and then became possessed with the spirit.
The centaur was right over me with his sword in his hand, lifted up and about to strike then out of nowhere Mathew jumped on his back and stopped him the centaur started jumping around and Mathew ended up next to me, blacked out on the floor, when I looked at him he was bleeding this time in the arm and it was worse than his forehead. I saw the blood trickling down his arm and soaking his shirt a deep dark red. Before the centaur turned around I saw a Shoot that was our only way out. I got up but my back was in so much pain, when I lifted Mathew and threw him over my shoulder I made a jump for it and made it in, the ghost obviously realized what had happened and swung his sword at me, it struck my arm, I felt a pain like a thousand needles stabbing me at once, when I looked down I saw a bunch of blood flowing from my arm and soaking my shirt, then everything went black and I felt dead, empty, and pain, lots of pain.
