According to the grammar rule regarding numbers, when a compound number is written out, or a fraction is used as an adjective, these should be written using a hyphen between its components. In this case, our support is the latter as <em>one-third</em> is a fraction and not a compound number.

Therefore, your best answer is option C.

As I was walking out, I had this very bad feeling in my stomach.. I turn around very slowly ... chills going on all over my body.. and I SEE IT!!! A real life mummy!!!! I run as fast I can hoping to get away from it but no luck. The mummy had gotten me and turned me into one of them. Now I’m a mummy in the museum. I’m on of them.
