"It's Veronica! What do we do?" Emily turned from the door to ask in a hushed whisper.
Before anyone could answer, another insistent round of rapping on the door came even louder than before.
"Hey I know you're in there, c'mon, open up!" came Veronica's equally insistent voice from the other side of the door.
"Oh this is not good. Trust me, I know her, she isn't going to give up," said a visibly worried Leigh as Cara did her best to cower her large, hairy frame into the corner.
"I'm still waiting out here..."
"Ok...Ok...Just let her in I guess." Leigh said with decided resignation as she began to turn off all the lamps in the apartment until the only light was from the full moon outside.
"What?! Are you crazy?" asked an incredulous Emily.
"Look, she was bound to find out sooner or later anyway. Hurry, get her in here, but do it quickly, ok?" Leigh said as she turned off the last lamp.
"Ok... If you say so..." Emily said as she unlocked and swung open the door.
"Well it's about time. It's not like I'm going to bite or any-"
Veronica didn't even have a chance to see the frantic paw-like hand as it reached out from the darkness and hurriedly grasped her wrist. Before she could even react, Veronica was suddenly thrust into the apartment and the door quickly slammed shut behind her.
"Ow, watch the nails girl, you just scratched my arm!"
