That's all Cedric needs to buy his mission-mates some more time. He only hopes that the monster bites his head off first when the time comes. Prolonged agony wouldn't be very much fun.
He vaults back over the bookcase and hole in the floor, kicking up some dust and taking off in a blind run. He has to get as far away from the others as he can before he goes. He shoves his way through strewn objects, ramming one door to gain access to a promising-looking room. The faded walls were once bright green---and given his original death, quite an appropriate colour.
Even more appropriate for the scene are the mangled and rotting bodies underfoot. Cedric yelps, shoving past a grandfather clock, then---the motion disturbs a corpse that was leaning against the wall. Blood-brown messes that were once limbs wave in front of him, and he can't help but scream.
The next second, the bones and rotted flesh fall in front of him with an ominous thud. The monster's coming. Cedric holds his breath and charges at the window, hoping against hope that it opens.
