Corridor

Mary walked into a long and wide corridor. She looked left and right but there were only doors.

She tried opening some doors but most of the doors she opened were locked.

She continued walking and saw a door open in front of her by itself. She wanted to go peek inside but something was on the door.

It looked like five long animal nails(2 feet long) were grabbing the door. She stood there, frozen, staring at it. Then, she heard a loud stomp from the door and the nails moved slightly.

Something emerged from the door. A thing with a crocodile head, long nails, patches of crocodile skin and a long tail that seemed like a lizard's tail.

It was sniffing loudly and then it stopped. It stared at Mary with its sharp gold pupil for a while and dashed at Mary with a starving expression.

Mary turned around and ran as it chased after her. She ran as fast as she could but it was too quick.

It jumped up and landed on top of Mary. Mary was pushed down with great pressure. She tried to struggle but it was too heavy.

It opened its crocodile-like mouth, ready to sink its teeth into Mary's flesh. Mary tried her best to struggle but it was unless.

She closed her eyes tightly.

She thought. Am I going to die? If I die what about my brother? Am I not able to see my brother before my death? Will I not be able to save him?

Then, there was a horrifying ripping sound. But nothing happened, she was still completely fine. She slowly opened her eyes and saw it laying on the wooden floor, full of blood.

Its flesh was ripped apart, oozing crimson red blood. She knew it died but how?

Its lifeless body lay there and a silhouette was stepping on it.

She couldn't see it because the lights were too dim. The silhouette slowly came close to her. It squatted down and Mary could see it clearly now.

It was a man(short black hair-bangs that nearly covered both his entire eyes, round eyes).

He stood up and stretched out his left hand."Are you alright?" He said with a gentle tone.

Mary looked at his hand for a while and held it. He pulled Mary up and she replied "I'm alright. Were you the one who saved me?"

"Yup!" He said happily.

"Oh, thanks!"Mary said gratefully.

Mary was now, observing him from head to toe. She saw he had two bear ears and a fluffy bear tail.

I can't trust him. He might be one of his subjects. She thought. Now, that I think about it, all of his experiments have animals' body parts.

She looked at him and said "Thank you for saving me. I have to go now."

"Huh!?" He said angrily."Is that how you repay others' gratitude? You greedy humans!"

"What?" Mary said confused.

He looked at her with a mad and aggressive expression. Mary knew something was wrong.

Mary quickly turned in the opposite direction of him and sprinted away. Mary didn't hear him chasing after her.

She glanced back and saw him with bat-like wings. He was flying above her and he reached out his claws to scratch.

She turned left and managed to dodge him. He kept his wings and fell onto the floor, standing balanced on both his feet. He caught Mary's hair and pulled her to his grasp.

He leaned closer to Mary and sniffed her neck. Mary could feel his breath on her neck.

"You smell good." He said, pleasantly."How would it feel like to sink my teeth into that soft flesh? I can't wait any longer."

He opened his mouth revealing his sharp teeth and bit on her shoulder. Mary yelled loudly in pain.

Then, she saw a grandfather clock. She reached out her hand and used all her strength to pull it down. The man used one of his hands to hit it away. The clock's shattered glasses scattered everywhere.

When she was giving up. She saw a big and sharp piece of glass that hadn't been destroyed. She took it without the man noticing and stabbed him with it in the neck.

He released his grip and Mary ran away. She could hear him yelling something but she didn't care. The only thing she wanted the most was to get away from him.

She didn't know where to run. Luckily, she saw a door with a little opening. She dashed through the door.

She couldn't see where she was, the room was dark. She tried groping around the place and touched a box.

She managed to squeeze inside the box, it was tight but it was fine as long as she could hide away from him.

Her shoulder was burning with pain but she tried to not make a sound.

She was really tired from all the running. Her eyes slowly closed down. Before she knew it, she was already in deep slumber.
