Even the bravest souls would have been scared out of their wits if they stumbled upon such a sight in the dead of night.

Isabelle was no exception. She shrieked, stumbled backward, and fell to the ground with a loud thud. Her head smacked against the edge of the table, sending a sharp jolt of pain through her skull

After another quick sweep of the room, they slammed the door shut with a loud bang and left without another word.
