Jamie and Jon came down to find me, Jon's shoes flashing with little red lights in the darkness. Jamie said she found another skull in the attic; this one belonged to a bird of prey and was decorated with faint runes. As I took it in my hands, every bone in the basement rattled, as if a shiver came out from the skull in my hands. Then the floorboards above us began to creek, someone was above us. We put out the flashlights and tried to stay quiet, but my foot bumped one of the skulls on the ground, loud enough to draw attention.
