Chapter 38

The day went by fast, considering we laid on the couch eating and watching movies the whole time.

"Where could it be?" Luke grumbled quietly to himself as he opened yet another closet door.

"I don't understand, how do crutches just disappear into thin air?" he sighs, realizing that they aren't in the closet he is searching through.

I turn my attention to Calum, who is opening the same closet door for the 10 th time without even realizing it.

I chuckle at his absurdity.

We all gather by the island in the kitchen.

"It's gone" they sighed. "I don't know how, but it's gone."

"We've looked everywhere" Michael says, hitting his hand to his forehead.

"Wait" Ashton shouts.

We all turn to him.

He points to a door, a black one, that I've never been in.

"The basement" he whispers.

That sends shivers down my spine.

Basement?

"There's no way it's down there, how the hell would it get down there?" Luke shakes his head.

"It's worth a look" Ashton shrugs.

Luke nods, and we all walk to the door.

Ashton opens it, revealing old wooden stairs.

Dust flies out, making me sneeze.

He pushes cob webs away from the light switch, then flicks it on.

The light flickers a couple of times before turning on.

The room brightens faintly, Ashton leads the way.

When I reach the bottom, the cement is cold on my bare feet.

The room is filled with shelves, with weird things, old boxes that line the shelves have an inch thick of dust covering them.

Weird china dolls are lined on shelves high up on the wall.

They are all sinisterly, eyes starring at us.

Some weird writing in a different language fills the empty spaces on the walls.

"This is creepy as fuck" I hear Michael cuss.

I nod along with the boys.

It really is.

We start to move, onto the next room.

A small rusty bed is in the corner of the room, it's white, but covered in dirt and dust. A wooden rocking horse is placed in the right corner of the room, and a wooden chest labeled 'Leah' is on the wall beside the door.

A cold wind passes through me and I whimper.

"Maybe we should go back" I rush out, feeling uncomfortable down here.

"No" they say.

I shake my head. This is a bad idea...

We all walk out, "there is another room over here" Calum says.

We walk to a big metal door.

There are 4 locks. One pad lock, two key locks and one a hand lock(???).

Luke runs away, up the stairs and a couple of minutes later comes back down with a hammer.

He walks in front of us, and he starts breaking the locks.

"Curiosity killed the cat" an eery voice whispers into my ear with a laugh.

"Guys stop!" I shout.

They turn to me.

"W-what if there are locks on there for an important reason" I said quietly, rubbing at the goose bumps that recently formed on my arms.

"Well I guess we're about to find out" Calum said as Luke smashed the last lock off of the door.

My stomach tingled.

Something is really wrong here.

"Ready"

"1"

"2"

"3"

The door opens, and a gut wrenching smell fills me nostrils.

I fall to my knees, coughing as I inhale the smell again. My stomach churns, and I vomit, I start to cry, as my stomach empties it'self.

"Go, get her upstairs" someone yells.

I glance up, seeing the door wide open, there's some chain thing hanging from a wooden banister that hangs from the ceiling.

Chains connected to the floor with an ankle cuff. What the fúck is this?

I continue to breath through my sleeve as I see Luke and Ashton pick me up, and before I'm brought upstairs I see it.

A decayed, molding old body of a young woman. Her blue eyes open, and starring at me. I scream, and before I know it we're upstairs.

Calum slams the basement door shut, and Luke lays me onto the couch.

Vomit rises up to my mouth, and I gag.

Instantly a bucket is placed by my head and I release the liquid into the bucket, my stomach tightening in pain.

Images of the woman flash through my mind, and I lean over again, spilling my guts into the bucket.

What.

The.

Actual.

Fúck
