**Lilia's POV ***

I literally trip on the air and fall down on the way to the door. The minute I make contact with the floor, my heart starts beating loudly and so does the pounding on the door. I was anxious to find out who was it on the other side. I had this unsettling feeling in my nerves.

"Lili? Are you alright?" Iddy asks bending now placing the flashlight beside me.

I look up to answer her only to be greeted by red eyes that shone in the light of the torch placed next to me which directly hit her face.

I am hesitant and almost back up when I see that these eyes don't look gloomy or evil or the blood red that I once saw, they just were red, a light red and looks like Iddy was also in control as nothing has happened - - yet.

The hard knock on the door distracts me and Iddy gets irritated. Oh god I hope she doesn't act up again. I stand up straight planning to stop her but she beats me to it.

She gets up, very ferociously if you ask me and picks up the torch from beside me. She walks towards the door and literally pulls it's off the hinges.

"What?" she asks in a irritated voice. I pity the person who has to face her wrath.

"Oh no," I hear a whisper beside me and I turn to see Mrs Potts who now was standing beside me staring at that door as if she saw a ghost.

A husky and high pitched voice catches my attention. The words weren't clear.I figure it was of the person standing outside the door.

The voice was like a melody to my ears and I have no clue who is he . The anxiety keeps growing within me.

I was too lost in my dream land to see what happened. I was shaken of my daydream by the sound of Iddy banging the door shut.

"What happen?" I asked confused.

"That person's car apparently broke down so he was looking for a place to rest. I pointed him to the old outhouse and told he could sleep there as Mr Clark isn't even here."

"Why didn't you invite him in?"

"Didn't feel like," she says. Something seems off by the way she says this.

"Good thing you didn't. We don't even know who is he," says Mrs potts taking her side.

I gotta agree, she has a point. But something seems odd. Or maybe I'm over imaging it.

"Okay," I agree silently.

"How about this power . How do we get it back?" I say trying not to focus too much on the pitch black darkness around us and my love for it. Note the sarcasm.

"Let's go check the main power supply in basement."

"Haha. As if I'm coming anywhere near that at this time."

She glares me and literally drags me. She is strong, too strong and seeing how red her eyes were some time back, I decide not to argue.

We reach the door only to realise it was locked.

"Fuck, Mr Clark has the keys and the spare ones are upstairs."

"I don't think we'd find it in this dark."

"Well then we have no other option left. We have to use the garage entrance and go to the basement."

"What makes you think that it won't be locked?" I ask

"I know where the keys are" she says and runs off to the kitchen. I run behind afraid to be left alone in the dark.

We reach the kitchen and I see her searching for the keys in the kitchen cabinets, flashing the lights everywhere. Here of all the places? Really?

"Found it," she yells waving the keys around in her hand.

"Kids. I don't think it's safe to go out in the dark," Mrs potts interrupts us.

"Yeah me too. I don't want to go out," I whisper softly but loud enough for them to hear.

"Yeah, but I don't want to me stuck in this darkness," Ingrid says and half glares at me.

I remember the red eyes and didn't want to annoy her further and silently slide by her side.

"Good. Now let's go," she says marching past Mrs Potts.

I silently follow her and Mrs potts looks at Iddy as if she is scared for her afraid of some darkness.

She sadly nods her head at me and I hurry up to keep close to Iddy and not wanting to be left in the darkness.

We walk in silence and I walk step in step with Iddy. We had to go all the way over to the other side where the out house was to get to that garage . We reach that door and I look around and see how spooky it looks with the forest just around the corner and the outhouse just beside it. The trees were swaying, the heavy rain was now just a drizzle.

Iddy hands me the flashlight and I point it to the lock, hoping we get out from here as soon as possible. I feel someone staring at us and I remember the feeling in the woods.

I was trying to keep my focus on Iddy and not get distracted, given how edgy she can get.

She finally opens the garage and I help her opening the door. We finally go inside and slowly side step on the staircase which is creaking underneath us.

There is darkness all around me and I see cobwebs dangling from every corner. I hear crickets chirping outside and the only thing lacking was a ghost now to make this look like a scene taken from a horror movie.

I clutch Iddy's hand. She knows how scared am I of darkness and she holds my hand while walking down. We walk side to side on the staircase, and it is definitely very congested.

We finally reach the basement. I see shadows everywhere and my imagination takes a toll and I could make out weird shapes of every shadow and I swear I could even see some of them move.

"Here.." Iddy says and I flash the light at that direction.

"A little to the left," she says and I see the big box full of small switches and wires.

She turns a few of them on and off but it doesn't work. I still see no lights.

"Fuck. Maybe there is a issue with the main transformer."

"Isn't there is a generator?"

"Yeah," she says and goes a little left and turns on a huge switch.

"Still no light" I say stating the obvious.

"Generator powers only the main house and only a few rooms for a limited time. Let's hope the power comes back soon," she says and starts walking away.

Oh god, why is she so fast.

"Wait !" I yell and run behind her.

The journey up was relatively quicker given Iddy had no plans of slowing down.

I finally go up and still see no lights on. Why god why??

"Arrgghh!" I sigh in frustration.

We reach outside and I see Ingrid not stopping, read to close the doors.

"Ingrid!" I yell flashlight still in hand pointing at her

She turns around and her eyes shine a dark red. Like the time when I was actually terrified of her. That RED. Burning red.

Oh no! Not again!

"Yes," she says in a deep voice.

I gulp down in fear and nod my head. She turns around and starts walking away swaying her hips. My eyes follow her and I see lights in the background. Oh! So the generator did work.

I go back to close the doors. There were quite heavy and with a flashlight in my hand it was quite difficult.

"Need some help?" I hear a voice behind me and startled I slip whilst turning around, given the murky soil below.

I see a guy standing a few feet behind me but surprisingly the next second I feel a pair of strong arms around me.

I didn't close my eyes as I usually would. I am still staring at him and wonder how smooth and quick his movements were.

I am awestruck, gaping at him with my mouth ajar. His blue eyes shone under the moon light and I could get lost in them forever. He had me entranced with just one look.

Authors note:

Image above is of the outhouse.

Okay, so finally the chapter is out yaayyy. I tried to make it as not boring as possible. Yeah I wanted to say interesting but I doubt if it actually was.

Okay, I guess I ramble a lot.

Moving on, I made a few changes in the last chapter you may want to check it back.

Please do tell me what you think of this book in the comments and drop a vote guys. Would me a lot to me.

Until the next update

Lots of love
