The Unknown (⚠️ EDITING ⚠️)

Vlad's not the same.

Vlad: "Yeah- I'm kinda- concern for myself, just, hang in there, I guess."

Eric: "Is he stuck like this??"

Kevin shrugged, "No clue, I just hope not."

Jamie: "Well, there's gotta be some way to fix it."

Vlad: "...Eugh, I feel like I'm- gonna pass out all the time, I guess that's just the side effects."

Kevin: "So, now you have cancer?"

Vlad: "NO, you doorknob..! Eugh... let's just carry on..." Before Vlad could take one step, Eric picked him up. "...Seriously?"

Eric started petting Vlad, "Duuude, you're so soft..."

Vlad snarled, "Put me down!"

Jamie: "Geez, and I thought girls were all over- cute things."

Vlad: "How am I endearing?! I'm literally a fiend!"

Kevin: "Heeee has a point if that was in English."

Vlad facepalmed, sighing, "I'm surrounded by two idiots."

Suddenly, a loud shriek came echoing from one of the tunnels.

Eric: "We should get moving..." Eric placed Vlad down, before running off with Jamie and Kevin.

Vlad: "Hey! Wait-"

?: "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Vlad turned around, only to be faced by that- that THING. Vlad unable to stand, the ran on all fours to the group, the creature slowly following Vlad.

Vlad: "Guys?! Where are you?!" Vlad frantically glancing around, soon turned back around only to be faced by the creature once more.

?: "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

It's loud calls scared Vlad too much. Vlad quickly turned back around running as fast as he could, only to run into the others.

Jamie: "Vlad?!-"

Vlad: "There's no time, it's right behind us! Keep going-"

Kevin swept up and carried Vlad, running along with Jamie and Eric.

Eric: "In here! Quick!" Eric pointed to a long way tunnel. "It can fit all of us!"

Kevin: "Are you serious?"

Jamie: "There's no time! Just FREAKING go inside!" 

?: "SCREEEEEEEEEEE"

Jamie and the others ran into the tunnel, the creature attempting to shove itself into the tunnel. It extended its long arm grabbing onto Jamie.

Jamie: "BAH!"

Eric: "JAMIE!"

Kevin: "Jesus Christ!" 

Suddenly, Vlad leapt out of Kevin's arms, charging towards the creature, green goo saliva forming in his mouth, Vlad leapt up, digging his fangs into the creature's arm.

?: "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

The creature lets go of Jamie, Eric managing to get a hold of her, as him and Kevin ran ahead. 

Vlad: "Go! Go!-" 

Vlad was knocked to the side, of the tunnel multiple times, getting his grip off of the creature, Vlad growled a low unhuman snarl, his eyes glowing a more deep green. He lunged at the creature, attempting to claim ground on who's tougher. He got into a pouncing position, shoving him and the beast out of the tunnel, out onto the more open ground.
