You have to get out of there! You grab Jim just in the "nick" of time.
(how is that for a pun!) Jim is reluctant to go with you becuase he is
still under some hypnotic suggestion. However, pulling him away from
the situtaion seems to break the spell, by the time the two of you
get back to the cabin, the effects of it are pratically worn off.
"What happened" he asks you
"Don't worry about that. Let's just get inside." you tell him.
You bring him inside and tell Mary what you saw. You can tell she doesn't
believe you.
"Mary, if you don't believe me, you better just go and look out there!" you
tell her
That did it. You know she won't go outside to proove you wrong.
"So what do we do??? she asks you.
"Good question" you say and begin to think
As you ponder ideas of what you can do, you realize something.
"There is a trap door over there in that corner! We could go inside and
wait there till morning! They can't show themselves in the daylight! We
will be safe!" you exclaim!
"Good idea!" Jim agrees
The three of you head for the trap door. You will be safe in there. You
remember that vampires can't be out in the daylight and so then you will
have the next day to skiddadle on outta here. Mary goes in first
and then you. Jim is last. He tries to shut the door but it doesn't
shut all the way. Oh no. If the vampires notice
the trap door slightly ajar, they could easily open it and three of you
would be cornered...no way to get out! You must go check it and
see what is blocking the path. Just as soon as you are about to check it
out, you hear some noises....O no! The vampires are here
already! You can only hope that they don't notice the trap door. You have
a hold of the door and trying to keep as quiet and still as possible.
Mary and Jim are doing the same. You can hear a pin drop it is so quiet
in there. You can see the vampires through the crack of the door. You
take a good look at Nick. Poor Nick! You think, but you can't worry about
that now. You need to stay focused.
The three of you are able to keep
your all-night vigil until the vampires give up. You see the first signs
of sunlight poke through the living room window. You open the trap door.
You see what it was that had stopped the trap door. It was your pocket knife!
Somehow it fell out of your pocket. You look at it and realize something
that you didn't think of. The man who lived here before you got trapped in
there! The trap door shut behind him and he couldn't open it back up. It
locks automatically when shut and you can only open it from the outside! He
committed suicide by stabbing himself with his knife! You realize this
and about faint. If your knife hadn't fallen out of your pocket and blocked
the door, you would have been trapped down there! You ponder this thought
and think to yourself, it is a good thing that the door was ajar after all!
