The wardrobe jumped at them and they shattered. The sheer bulk of the monster could smash them, and the monster was using it to its advantage as it smacked into Alex and sent him reeling back.
Alex was pushed beside the bed where the remaining bedsheets rose and covered him. Now he had to fight his way out of the monster cloth, and his skill wasn't available for him as his hands were bound as well.
The cloth covered his head and started to slowly strangle him. Quickly, he removed all the essence from his body and directed it to his head, where the cloth recoiled and left him alone.
Still, the bed wasn't done with Alex. The two pillows rose and grew legs and arms. One pillow took the other and slammed it into Alex's stomach.
It was as if it was a stone hitting him as the force lifted him and jerked him back. Alex groaned. It was a mistake on his part because he hadn't returned the essence he gathered at his head and now his unprotected stomach was hurting.
