It seemed like hours ago,that Roha and Amish had left her.Kyra was tensed,freaking out for her friends.
The police force was still quite a distance away and will need half an hour to reach at the minimum.
The wait seemed eternal.She prayed incessantly for her friends well-being.
Roha and Amish were panting,entirely drained.They didn't how long they had been walking.
The tunnel seemed to stretch endlessly,serpenting through the underground.The ancient air penetrated their very bones,freezing them.Their teeth chattered,the sound reverberating eerily.
At last the path winded upwards and after walking a few more metres,they could see the faint glimmer of light.
Their breath hitched and they increased their pace.The destination wasn't far!
Suddenly the tunnel came to an abrupt halt and they could see the source of light. A huge rock was seemed to have been moved out of its place revealing a chipped, old door.It was ajar.
They glanced at each other nervously,looking undecided.
''I thing he got in through this...I..I'll peer in.''Amish said fidgetedly.
''Ok!''Roha gulped,holding the can of pepper spray that she had brought with her aloft.
Amish hunched and peeped in through the crack.
''I think its some type of underground room.The coast is clear.Let's go!''He whispered,getting up.
They both took a deep,calming breath and entered the room slowly.
It was dimly lit and covered in dust.Huge cartons were thrown here and there and straw was strewn on the floor.
''How will we get outside this place?''Amish asked,looking at Roha who was running her finger on the low ceiling.
''Here's a trap door.I hope its the way out.''She said nervously.
They slightly lifted the lid up and Amish peered through the crevice.
He found himself peering at dingy room.Skeins of dirty cobweb hung from the ceiling and a huge,wasted chandelier.Moonlight sifted in the room through a broken window and was the only source of light.The room was deserted,just as forbiding.
Amish lifted himself up carefully and reached out for Roha,pulling her up.
They dusted themselves and looked around curiously.
''Where are w......''
But Amish was cut short by loud footsteps.With their hearts hammering fit to burst,they stared panic-stricken at the adjoining passage.
Someone was coming.....
