Raze stood inside the manor, but it felt eerily empty. He used God's Eye inside and the force that had been blocking him was still there; he couldn't see anything.
"This place feels off," Gavin said, looking around. The house was lit properly, yet it felt like there was a darkness.
"What do we do now?" Emilia asked.
"Upstairs first, let's see what's happening there," Raze said, but before they could move, they heard the sound of the front door creaking.
"Shit, we have to hide," Raze said. They all rushed back into the store and slowly closed the door.
A few moments later, the sound of a metal boot hitting the ground resounded against the hard wooden floor. The footsteps got closer and closer, and then finally came to a stop right outside the storeroom.
They all held their breaths as the person stood there. After a while, the footsteps started going away from the door. They thought they were in the clear, but then suddenly—
STAB!
