Falling an Infinity

Falling to death

Rhode Islands POV

"Texas! Come on we'll be fine as long as we stay together!" I said excited as I walked towards the abandon house. "Dude, I'm not even sure about this, let's just go home, I don't wanna witness you die because it'll probably happen if you even step foot in there." Texas said scratching his head and looking away nervous, I understood but I wanted to have fun for once, everything has been so depressing over the past two years since Alabama died. "Tex come on! I won't die and I'm sure you won't either, that has such a low chance of happening." I said and Texas looked at me like I was a idiot. "Rhode, the house is over 200 years old, pa lived in this house when he reached adulthood." Texas said sighing and excitement shot through me. "Maybe we could find some things he left in here!" I yelled and Texas grumbled. "Fine..." he said and I jumped up and down a bit.

Texas mumbled something when we walked in but I caught nothing he said and looked around the place fascinated by the old rotting look of the old house. I was amused it was still even intact and not falling apart like old buildings do because of animals or weathering and whatnot. I looked around downstairs finding nothing before running to the stairs and bolting up them. "Rhode! Don't do that! The stairs could break and we'd have to cut off you leg because wood went through it!" Texas yelled at me angry and I only laughed and speed walked around the upstairs but only found nothing interesting.

I sighed a bit when I found nothing in any of the rooms and decided to up another floor as there was three oddly enough. I looked around the house's third floor, yet. I found nothing and decided to run back to Texas to leave, but when I took a hard step to run, something cracked underneath me and I felt something tearing into the back of me thigh and screamed. I realized I was falling and quickly smashed through the second story head first and onto the first my skull feeling like it had shattered and my brain being squashed.

Texas's POV

I heard screaming and crashing falling to the first floor and from the kitchen and never in my life had I ever ran so fast but I did to see Rhode's skull crushed inwards. I panicked and ran out of the house to to the one I lived in running as fast as I could tears swelling up in my eyes and I banged on the door not bothering to take out the keys to the house. After a few seconds papa opened the door and saw me in a panicked state and asked what happened. "Y-you're old house, Rhode, h-he fell through the top floor all the way to the b-bottom and his head is smashed in." I said telling him what I saw in the moments I witnessed it. "What." Dad said clenching his fist looking at the ground sighing sadly.

"Leave- stay here, I'll deal with him." Dad said moving out of the way so I could enter and I did. I know what dad was doing, he was going to bury his body by the house but I never saw him get a shovel to dig with, was there one at his old house?
