(SEVEN)

As he crossed a doorway to another room, he saw that it was just a puddle next to another mechanism. He pulled the mechanism, and the water went down. It felt too.....easy. He jumped onto a table that was floating in the water, and was now on the floor. As he looked around, he accidentally knocked over a vase on the table. Luckily, inside was a key and a rat, he looked to the other doorway, and it had a lock on it. As he was about to jump from the table, he froze. The shadow from the under the table was moving? He rubbed his eyes. Sure enough, the shadow was stretching out and chasing the rat, until finally catching up to it and......grabbing it. As the rat struggled to escape, Seven saw it being dragged under the table. He looked underneath, only to see that the rat was gone. Seven had to be quick. He jumped from for the key, and ran to the doorway, but the shadow was right behind it, and grabbed his foot. He dropped the key and screamed. All he had was the flashlight, but that was all he needed. Inches from the table, he shined it and the shadow disappeared. He grabbed the the key and opened the lock, and saw..........something. The room contained a pool of green-ish water, and he saw a white head, but it immediately submerged itself in the water. Seven didn't get a good look at it, but whatever it was, it could probably kill him.
