A face appears in the window. It has two dead, yellow glowing eyes. The rest of the face is hard to make out, but the creature sees us. The face vanishes, and there's hard bumping at the door.

I ran into the bathroom, bringing Candy and Ariana with me. The others hid under their beds. Why were we not defending ourselves? I locked the bathroom door, and plugged it up, so no light escaped. I heard the creature enter the cabin. The smell of rot was horrifically bad, now. I tried to hold my breath so that the thing couldn't hear me. My heart was beating out of control, and beads of sweat formed on my head. I felt fear. It was'nt the first emotion I wanted to feel once I finally felt something, but it was. Candy accidentally let out a breath. I heard thumping footsteps outside the door. The thing was coming for us.
