“What the?” Shawn exclaimed, stepping back. Mary shrieked an unholy scream. The guys ran down the hall, leaving Mary far behind.
“Football practice really comes in handy,” Tyler said as they ran.
“Yeah,” Shawn said grinning. Suddenly he fell face first on the ground. Tyler stopped and went to help Shawn up. The floor had broke under his foot.
“You OK?” Tyler asked. Shawn grunted something about crappy floor boards. Then they heard a terrible wailing. They looked behind them, and saw Mary slowly lurching towards them.
“Leave! All intruders will die!” Mary screeched, in a demonic voice. The guys screamed, and started to run again. Only Shawn couldn’t. His ankle was broken. As he limped after Tyler, he threw whatever he could reach at Mary. She deflected them all. Shawn, flipping out, stopped to rip a door off it’s hings, and throw it at Mary. She held up her hand and it flew back at Shawn. He ducked. The door skimmed the top of his brown hair. Mary was close enough for Shawn to see her eyes. Completely black.
