We didn't notice it the first time we headed down but once we managed to double-back in the central area, what looked to be a chandelier in the shadows was actually several tongues almost braided with each other, coiling around the cables keeping the chandelier from falling down. Our breaths escaped our lungs and it took a considerable amount of energy from making noise when they were only a few feet away from us.
"What the fu-"
"Shh..."
Despite that, they looked strange or eerie because instead of their tongues hanging down, their main bodies were the ones dangling in the middle of the first and second floor. They were positioned in a way that they almost imitated the structure of the chandelier itself and the reason as to why they didn't move an inch the moment we went down the first time boggled our minds.
'The ones we killed weren't controlled too...'
