As you arrive at the castle doors, you freeze in fear. Your heart is thumping in your chest and you wonder how long it would take you to run all the way back to the hotel. Too long, you decide. As your friends gather around you, you take a step forward and lean your ear against the huge wooden door.
You listen hard. The rain and thunder are making it hard to hear, so you squish your ear as close as you possibly can. That’s when you hear the start of some slow and steady clicks…
Click…click…click….click…click….click...click...CRACK!
The once solid ground under your feet begins to fall from under you. All in a split second, you stretch your arms out in a mad scramble to reach for something…anything that might save you from the perilous fall. But there is nothing.
You begin falling…deep down into the pit of darkness… like Alice falling into the rabbit hole… it seems endless. You hear your friends screaming as they fall, and hope it will be over soon.
And then it happens. You hit the ground.
Knock on the door
