Everyone giggled softly and surprisingly, this made us less tensed up and our will power to get out of here safely became stronger even though we had no idea what we can do.
We stayed in the room for less than 10 minutes when we heard a crash from the kitchen. It sounded as if someone had thrown a large metal wok through the kitchen windows. It startled all of us. We opened the room door and peeped into the kitchen stealthily.
However, before we could even figure out what was going on, unknown squeaking bat-like object slammed into our faces causing us to fall back.
‘Yowch!’ I screamed as I felt a sharp cut on my left cheek.
‘Shucks! What the hell is that?!’ Guo Lun screamed, thrashing his arms over his head wildly. Our room was filled with the bat-like creatures and more are swarming into the room like locusts wiping out the crops field.
I was attacked by several bats and their high pitched ultrasonic screams are jarring on my ears. In the commotion, I tripped on someone’s leg and fell on something hard. It was a round metal tray!
I grabbed the tray and whacked hard at the bats.
Klonk! Klonk! Klong! I was stunned for a second. These bats are metallic!
Another bat lunged at me and cut my left cheek again. The cut was only half a centimeter below my previous one and suddenly, I felt fire blazing in my stomach.
‘YOU ARSE HOLE!’ I bellowed. My grip on the metal tray tightened. I was filled with adrenaline and strength. I gave the bat who had cut me the most violent whack I mustered and it zoomed out of the room at rocket speed, crashed into the wall and landed on the sofa at the living room.
‘SO YOU FREAKOS WANT THIS HUH? YAHHHHHH!’ I shouted at the top of my lungs and started whacking like a maniac over my friend’s heads while my bewildered friends are curled up like a thread balls on the floor.
Bats still filled my sight. But my strength is failing and my arms are aching.
Oddly, the bats didn’t seem to be attacking me or my friends anymore. They were circling the mirror like natives dancing around the fire.
After a couple of minutes, the dancing bats started to fade and disappear into the thin air. Even those I have knocked out disappeared.
Still in a state of shock, the mirror started to tremble and soon, it became a violent vibration. It trembled so strongly that the dressing table fell sideways onto to the floor. It was smashed and the pieces flew all around as we covered our faces with our hands reflectively.
‘Its time for the final showdown.’ An echo spoke calmly.
