The creature let out another growl.
"Uhh, Calix, it's talking to me." Alistor's shoulders spasmed in terror as it continued to growl. "I-it's saying we have 5 seconds to pray. Then it wants to eat us."

"How the fuck can you understand it??" Calix screeched.

"I don't fucking know. Let's haul ass NOW!"
Alistor grabbed Calix's hand and darted from the room, slamming the door unsuccessfully.

Calix held onto his hand, eyes wide as he grabbed at the door to close it again.

Alistor huffed, breathless with pure terror as the creature rammed into the door, causing it to shudder and splinter.
"That probably won't hold it long. With our luck, it'll-" The creature bashed the door down and let out a full on roar, sounding like something from hell.
Alistor cursed. "Haul it!!!"

Calix started running, grabbing Alistor's hand again and tugging the other boy with him. "Come on! Somewhere with other people!" He exclaimed.

Alistor threw his flashlight at the monster and let Calix pull him along.
Down the hall, the voices of their class could be heard, not growing luder, but somehow getting quieter.
"What is going on?" Alsitor was on the verge of panic as he entered the room where their class had been, now totally empty and silent. "I-" His eyes grew unfocused with fear.

Calix took a deep breath, still holding onto Alistor's hand. "I don't know." he breathed. "Come on." he kept running through the rooms of the museum.

The whole building shook with the unearthly shrieks from the creature, slowly growing closer through the halls. “Where do we go now. Where is everyone?”

Calix kept running. "I don't know. Just keep moving!"

Alistor hurried along the hall, panic in his eyes.
A wall to the right exploded into a cloud of dust, splintering and filling the two boys with splinters.
"Shit! Left!!!"

Calix swore, loud and long and hard, and turned, tugging Alistor with him. He kept running.

The beast let out another roar, reaching out it's claws for Calix, one of it's talons catching him around the waist.

Calix yelped, the yelp immediately followed by the type of swearing that would have made a sailor blush.

Reacting without thought, Alistor charged at the monster, smashing a display case that held the ancient sword in it open, grabbing the blade, and plunging it into the beasts back, causing it to shriek and drop Calix.

Calix's eyes went wide, and he stumbled as he was dropped. He looked at Alistor. "What in the fuck is happening?"

The creature growled deep in it's throat.
'You think I know? It looks like something from hell!"

Calix swore under his breath. "Well…what do we do now??" He replied, eyes flashing around.

"I don't know." Alistor rammed his shoulder against a closed door and it popped open. 'Let's hide in here."

Calix nodded, sticking with Alistor,.

The inside of the closet was dark and musty. The creatures rasping steps echoed through the halls. It stopped right outside the door.
"I'm going to hit it." Alistor grabbed a broken broomstick, touching the jagged point. "You run when I do, okay?"

Calix shook his head. "I'm not leaving you, Alistor!" He replied softly, studying Alistor.

The boy sighed.
"Fine. Together?" He snapped the broomstick over his knee and handed Calix a peice.
