The chimes went off, again. Lily spun around.

"You don't hear that?!?" Lily asked, louder. Her eyes scanned the area.

"No, dear. What are you hearing?" Mother Wang asked, confused.

"I swear on the gods, Mom! I heard chimes!"

"There! It did it again. What does that mean?" Lily asked. Mom stood up and slowly started at her daughter. "I-I'm not crazy, Mom! I heard it!"

"I didn't say you were, hun. How many times have you heard it?" Mother Wang asked.

"Three times! That has to mean something, right?" The ground around them began to shake, catching both of their attentions. "What's that?" The two turned and looked at the ladder. It began to shake as the two watched. The rumbling grew louder and louder as Mother Wang grabbed her daughter.
