The Unknown

My friends and i had agreed to do this and I wasn't about to back out. We were standing at the front door of the house everyone in the neighborhood called "The unknown". The reason they called it this was because an old lady had moved into the house in the year 1976 and she seemed to treat the house as a person and would warn everyone that if they didn't treat the house with respect something terrible would happen to them. Everyone in the neighborhood just regarded her as crazy or delusional but there was something about her warning that seemed way to real and they all knew this but they pushed it off as being paranoid but there was one little boy who believed and this would pay off as one day in 1980 the whole neighbourhood burned down in what seemed like a freak accident but was no accident. Every single house burned down except for the the house they called "The unknown" and the little boy's house.

The old lady had warned them but they did not believe. The old lady disappeared just as fast as she moved in and years passed and the boy grew up and moved into the house and treated the house just as the old lady had. He would talk to the house and apologize for how the new generation of people who moved into the neighborhood treated the house, he was regarded as just as crazy as the old woman. The neighborhood children would hear whispering late at night coming from the house and believed the man but the adults wouldn't and the cycle of "freak accidents" continued.

It was Friday the 13th, 2013 and Natania and her two best friends Beth and Nessa were watching a horror movie marathon . The lights had conveniently gone out throughout the whole neighborhood and they decided to visit "the house of the unknown", that's what they called it. It was 12:00 midnight and they were getting the things they needed into a bag. When they finished they dashed out of the house and in 15 minutes were face to face with the front door of the house. In a hushed tone Nessa said "Are you guys sure you want to go in there" and Beth and Natania being horror obsessed agreed to go inside. As they stepped inside the house the atmosphere was much more different than outside but not one of peace or happiness, but one of terror and they could all tell something was wrong with the house but they all refused to back out as their pride was much bigger than their fear at the moment. The floor creaked and they all seemed to hear footsteps but pushed it out of their thoughts, then the door slammed shut and they all realized that it wasn't the wind or their minds playing with them, this was real life and they were potentially over. Nessa rushed towards the door and anxiously pulled at it but she knew just as well as Natania and Beth that they weren't getting out.

This is my first time writing a horror story on Wattpad so I hope you enjoy it. Sorry for the short chapter by the way, it gets better.😂
