You step inside, squinting your eyes in the dark. You move forward, careful not to trip over anything in your path.
Suddenly, several pairs of glowing eyes stop you in your tracks.
A flame appears from nowhere, outlining the small, bent shapes. You look closer to see old hags dressed in tattered black robes. They stand and chant over a bubbling cauldron.
With a chill you realize that they are witches. Suddenly they stop their chanting and turn towards you.
"What have we here?" Cries the first witch. "A visitor, and a live one!" She cackles gleefully. "We were in need of another guinea pig." She reaches towards you with her long bony fingers.
"Get back!" You yell, grabbing the nearest weapon. The witches begin to chuckle. You realize that you are brandishing a mop. Throwing it aside you run for the door.
"Don't let it escape!" Another witch cries shrilly. She leaps after you. You duck out of the way and she is sent tumbling across the floor. Heart pounding with terror you run for the door, but a bony hand wraps around your ankle and you fall face-first into the dust.
"I got it!" A third witch laughs. Desperately you kick at her. She shrieks in pain and lets you go. You run out the door and slam it behind you. The witches yell and scream, but after a few moments they quiet down. You let out a breath in relief.
Your eyes widen as you see the ghost from the stairs standing in front of you. It smiles sickeningly. You nearly fall as your legs run faster than your body for the next door on the landing. Grabbing the handle, your nervous hands fumble with it before it finally comes open and you fall inside.
Enter the Second Door on the Landing...
