Ellis glanced around the room. "We could hide in the wardrobe!"

Seth nodded. "Oh yes. Great idea. The wardrobe is completely safe." She opened the wardrobe, and gestured inside. "Shall we, then?"

"Yep." Ellis stepped inside. "Uh…guys?"

"WHAT NOW? Is it another dead person? It is, isn't it?" Seth exclaimed.

"No it's a….a…." Ellis chuckled nervously. "A Hellhound…."

Seth sighed. "Hm. A hellhound. Great. Fantastic. A HELLHOUND IN THE WARDROBE. Lovely. Tell me Ellis, this doesn't happen to be a friendly hellhound, does it?"

"I don't think so….it's growling…"

"THEN GET THE HECK OUT OF THERE!" Seth yelled. She looked at the door, and back at the wardrobe. "Should we go back out there?" she asked.

"Why on earth did we decide to buy such a cheap house?! I told you it would be sketchy, Ellis!" Nathaniel hid his face in his arms.

Seth patted Nathaniel on the head. "There, there. We'll survive. I hope."

Ellis slowly backed out of the wardrobe and shut the door. "I think I disturbed his napping…."

Seth threw her hands up in the air. "GREAT! In the wardrobe is a grumpy hellhound, outside the door is a mummy. What next!" She jumped at the growling that sounded from the wardrobe. "We should probably get out of here…" she said, backing up towards the door.

"Yep…." Ellis grabbed for the handle.

"Do not open that door, Ellis! Have you forgotten that there's a freaking mummy out there?!"

"What can it do, it's dead and wrapped in toilet paper. However, the hellhound is capable of tearing us to shreds. You choose."

"They are both perfectly capable of killing us!" Nathaniel looked around for another exit.

Ellis sighed. "I'd rather be wacked by the toilet paper dude."

"Same. Well, out the door it is then." Seth gestured to the door with a flourish of her hands.

"We do not want to be 'whacked' by either of them!! Seriously, how are you two so okay with this?!"

"Look Nate. Hellhound. Razor sharp teeth. Mummy. Stupid arms."

(Nathaniel: WHY AM I THE ADULT IN THIS SITUATION I'M THE FRIGGIN YOUNGEST also dogs are waaaay cuter)
Nathaniel seemed very hesitant, eyeing the door anxiously and jumping as the mummy beat on it. The hellhound's growls had died down, and it seemed to have lain back down.

"I'm not okay with it! I'd rather be anywhere but here right now. Hell, I'd rather be in Mr. C's geography class!" Seth exclaimed.

"Don't say that Seth. You know you'd die there."

"Yeah, you're right. This is definitely preferred to his class." Seth shuddered. "That guy is awful."

Seth reached for the door knob. "Well, you guys can stay here if you want, I'm going back out there," she said. She pulled her backpack off and held it in front of her like a shield.
