Mark grabbed up several little boxes of ammunition and stuffed it into his jeans. Amos spoke,"Alright, now, everyo-" [b]CRASH![/b] A spray of wood and metal flew through the air from the direction of the basement door. Table legs from the wedged table, metal from the hinges and the door handle , and chunks of the door itself. A loud chilling roar swept the room as the hideous Tartok came seemingly flying from the black chasm where the door once was. It was more visible now than it was before, which was quite a terrifying circumstance. The monster stood well over six feet, it towered in comparison to Terrence. It's skin was a deathly gray-dirty white, it's eyes were milky white, and it's skin was totally hairless all over and looked taut and strained. Muscles and veins could be seen stretched out to a visible extent. It's bald head was shiny and greasy looking. It wore no clothes other than a pair of baggy and partially ripped pair of work pants, like those that workmen wear. It snarled in hunger as it looked at the group around the couch. "Holy shit!"Cried James. "Oh My God!"Wailed Courtney. Makaya and Haley simply shrieked while Abby stood frozen with fear. "Goddamn!"Yelled Terrence. "Run!"Yelled Amos. He raised his heavy calibre rifle and fired, the flash lighting up the dark room and the sound of the shot, though not as bad as in the basement, was still very loud. The creatures stumbled back from the shot and nearly fell. Terrence, James, and Mark and bolted for the stairs and went practically leaping upwards. Haley turned and dashed toward the kitchen while Makaya and Abby rushed toward the stairs. The Tartok suddenly leapt out in front of them and snarled in fury, both girls screamed and scambeled backwards, Makaya nearly falling. Amos raised his rifle and fired again, the bullet catching the creature in the left knee making it drop to the floor. Both girls immediately dashed past it and made it to the top of the steps as the Tartok rose again. "Dammit!"Amos snarled, he shifted another she'll into his rifle chamber and prepared to shoot again, this time however the Tartok leapt forward and swing it's right arm mightily and swatted Amos's gun from his arms. It flew across the room and smashed against the far wall and fell to the floor. Amos immediately whipped out a large, sharp long bladed knife. Courtney was scrambling across the floor, sobbing with tears rolling down her face. She compressed herself in a corner behind a nearby chair. Amos took a big swing with the knife and drove it into the Tartok's right eye, sending a spray of blackish colored blood. The monster screamed, a loud distorted sound that sounded like a mix between a man and some type of wild animal. It grabbed at it's face and began tugging at the knife. "Go!"Amos yelled at Hazel,"Get upstairs!" The grizzly man and the monster both stood right at the bottom step of the staircase. Haley was hiding somewhere in the kitchen and Courtney was tucked away behind a chair bawling her eyes out. Everyone else had made it upstairs. The Tartok jerked the knife from it's now bloody eye socket and flung the blade across the room. In a flash, it grabbed up Amos with both hands, lifted him off the ground, and with a mighty heave, sent him flying across the room. He slammed against the wall and dropped limply to the floor. Amos raised his head weakly to see the beast approaching, his rifle lay several feet away from him. He strained out to grab it, only to have his hand stomped down on hard by the Tartok. A cracking in his hand was accompanied by a cry of pain from his mouth.
