Semua Bab The Secret Door: Bab 11 - Bab 16

  Where are they? They couldn’t see anything. It’s like they fell into a deep hole. They try to feel their way around the darkness but they couldn’t touch anything solid.

Van keeps his eyes open for a glint of light or something. “Ouch, Alice my foot,” Van groaned. “I’m with Don Van, I got his arm.” “That’s my arm Alice,” Cara retorted. “Well, it’s probably…” “Yeah that’s right, blame me Van,” Kirsten said harshly. “Wait, I have a flashlight here,” Don added. Don’s tactical light is powerful enough to illuminate the darkness for several feet. It’s actually Don who stepped on Van’s foot. Alice had grabbed Cara’s arm out of fear of being left in the darkness. Kirsten is on her knees and looking clueless. “This isn’t the school ground,” Don noted. “Are you sure your feathered friend is telling the truth,” Kirsten muttered to Van. “For your in
