Chapter 5: A Basement!
"Woahh.... staircase?"
Yeah, as you read stairs were leading down to something. I go to the kitchen to bring the torch and that dog was back. It was eating something and yesterday it had some dirt but today it was all clean and also someone tied a belt across his neck.
"Someone in the woods? That's not possible!" So probably the dog is getting back to the town! but how? Now I had to figure this out too but first I had to go downstairs to find out what's the thing that was covered by a rag and eventually a table.
I on the torch and slowly get down the shaky stairs. As I was heading down I could smell a distinctive, pungent, and sickly-sweet odor. I got down there firstly I look exactly to the front and you know what? It was a basement. Like "Woahh" a basement from the center of the hall that's so cool I thought but what was not so cool was, what I saw next.
I slowly turn towards my left and "Grossss!!!" I scream and fall on the floor. You cannot believe what I saw, it was a dead body!!! Someone murdered someone here. The body was shot to death, there was bl all over the wall. I move forward towards the body and realize that the face was quite similar and then I recall that it was WILL CRAIG!! murdered in his own house!
That site was horrifying, my spine was tingling and heart was pounding. I was extremely frightened now. I move more closer to the body and turns out that he had a ring on his finger with WC written on it. I switch on my phone and take pictures of the body and the basement. I head upstairs and put back the wooden tile and lock it. I head upstairs and take pictures of the board which had the pictures of my mom and dad.
I need to find out the way to get back to the town I thought but it was 11 pm already so I head back to sleep.
Whenever I was trying to sleep, the picture of the basement and the dead body of Will Craig pops into my mind. I eat off both the remaining chip packets and I drink up the leftover beer. I was speechless. I soon fall asleep and the next day I wake up to a crow right on my window sill. It had been three days since I entered this house.
I had no idea if Jeff and Alyssa were looking for me. There was one day left for Prom. I already brought a dress for it too but now I couldn't go to the prom anyway.
"Wait..Where's the dog again?" It meant that the dog went back to the town but how? I am not even able to head out of the gate and this dog gets straight away to the town now how is that possible? I decided "I need to inform my brother about our parents first and also the cops about this house and the murder moreover I wanna attend the prom" Thinking for a while I decide "I need to figure out a way as soon as possible" No! "I need to figure out the way today itself"
But the question was "How?" I thought to follow the dog but the dog wasn't here right now so I had to wait until he comes back "And what if he doesn't this time?" Well all I can do is wait and watch. Until then I try to go up to the terrace because the last time I went there I wasn't able to view everything clearly because it was midnight and I didn't view everything there. I head upstairs to the terrace and scanned around quickly.
There were broken pieces of a beer bottle and cigarettes on the floor and nothing more. I slowly head down again to the first floor where I found the board. I decided to check in the dustbin, there were crumbled up papers I open them. It looks like the reporter was having some trouble writing the article! I head down to the hall and the dog wasn't here yet as I said earlier- What if it doesn't return here? but it has been coming here for two days!
I waited in the backyard. It wasn't a sunny day, it was a windy day with black clouds overcast in the sky. The time was around 6 pm I lost all hopes that the dog isn't going to come here and I won't be able to get back to my town, Bridgewald. I get inside the house and eat the remaining two chips packets and even the water wasn't remaining now.
I was about to sleep on the couch and the dog appeared! I was eminently happy. "I can reach back to the town," I thought "But I'll have to observe the dog, like the whole night" Hoping that I don't sleep I sit on the couch looking at the dog. "The dog must be thinking why am I staring at it," I thought and smiled. I start looking at the lights and the walls I know I was behaving awkwardly but I was extremely happy that I could reach back to Bridgewald.
"Maybe I should just pretend to sleep so the dog gets up" thinking this I slowly lay down on the couch pretending to sleep but soon my tired eyes were closed and I fell asleep.
Waking up all of a sudden I look and the dog was gone! "Shit! Find The Dog Right Now!" I scream and look at the back door. "Oh! There it is!!" I said, slowly moving towards the backdoor. I slowly peep through the hinges and look at the dog. It was just running here and there, playing with the ball. I stood there observing the dog for around 10 mins. Then soon it put the ball at the bench and headed towards the bushes. I slowly moved behind the dog but it DISAPPEARED! I run to the bushes and what! The dog didn't disappear, it....
