The Treasure Room

"Let's get out of here." I turned to see my young sister Scarlet spooked by a spider on a spider web.

"Not until we get the treasure." I pulled her away from the spider and the web it was on. The room was next.

"But sister," she complained.

"Look, there it is!" I urged her onward.

Reluctantly, she followed. The room was massive. There was pillars all around. In the center was the treasure. We quickly ran up to it and I grabbed the treasure, replacing it with a sand bag. It worked! Now, all we needed to do was to get out the way we came in. I felt power flowing within me and fireballs shot out of my hand at will. The power was amazing. Just then a rat appeared to stop me. I shot out with fireballs, but my sister got bit. She turned into a zombie! Now I had to defeat both of them and get out of here. Without getting bit. I managed it and made my way out. The scientists was who I needed to stop and that rat was one of them.
