Aren and Peter moved quickly through the tunnels, their footsteps echoing faintly along the narrow passage as they hurried toward the main house.
After a while, Aren began noticing something.
Metal doors.
They appeared on both sides of the tunnel, evenly spaced along the walls. Aren narrowed his eyes and activated his shadow sense, trying to peer inside. But something blocked him completely.
It was as if his ability hit a wall and simply stopped.
He frowned.
'Something in the walls… or the doors.'
Aren slowed slightly and looked at Peter.
"This place," Aren said, "what kind of experiments do they run here?"
Peter stiffened.
The question clearly bothered him. He glanced around the tunnel as if searching for a better answer, but eventually he sighed.
"Honestly… you wouldn't want to know," Peter said quietly. "Dark things happen here. Diabolical things."
He walked over and placed his hand against the wall.
