As Max snuck down the corridor her enhanced eye sight could make out numerous cells with numbers on the doors, and all the doors wore open.
Memories flashed back about all the strange sounds she heard down here, the growls, snares, and very other strange sounds, most of them almost not-human.
Just as she approached the corner, she could hear someone or something approached, she quickly dashed into the closest cell and stood behind the door.
The sound grow more and more and Max could here something just on the other side of the open door, its heavy breath, as it snorted. She held her breath as she tried to remain as quiet as possible.
Max very slow edged her self to the so she could see out. As she looked out she saw something that shocked her to the bone. There stood something she couldn't describe. It looked like a giant flea at first, it stood on 2 small legs with very small forearms, with a large open mouth that could fit her head. Its skin was grey and slightly shiny with small patches of dust on its skin.
It seemed to first glance around back and forth, it then slowly approached her cell. Max lifted a small rock on the ground and threw it into the opposite cell. The creature spun around and slowly made its way into the other cell.
As soon as it entered the cell, Max jumped out and closed the door behind it. Max sighed as she leaned against the door, when she was suddenly thrown across the room as the door shook. Seemed the creature didn't like being held. Wasting no time Max stood up and started running the way the creature came thinking it was safe. When she rounded the corner she crashed into something, and fell back on her butt.
