Run through the thick, swallowing forest of doom!
From Create Your Own Story
The rustling noise soon turns into a low, growling bellow.
You turn tails and run.
Your bike, including your siblings, are left behind.
However, you are not selfish enough to forget about family. You hurriedly signal Kwan and Charmaine to follow you through the thick foliage, hoping that whatever that was making that noise wouldn't be able to follow you in this jungle.
Your siblings are having a tough time doing that, too, but they still manage to catch up to find you ending up in...
..a path that opens out into a clearing, fringed by high lalang grass and thick bamboo. There, in the centre, stand a ruined bungalow, the most forlorn house you have ever seen. It must have been a mansion once. The remains of a gravel drive, overgrown with trees, wind up to its old porchway. Tree roots and vines twist around the huge columns. The walls are streaked with black and green. Empty windows stare at you like eyes. Rotting shutters hang beside them. Above the second floor, the roof had partly caved in, leaving rafters sticking up like fingers into the sky.
"Wow!" Kwan gasps. "Just like the movies..."
Suddenly, there is a shattering explosion of thunder. The rain hammers down.
