Chapter 5: MOLLY

I bang on my door trying to get someone's attention. A door doesn't just close by itself,does it? It looked the same way as it did right before I walked into this room. "Help!",I sream. I try pulling on the door only causing it to make a creaking sound. As I listen carefully, I hear footsteps getting closer and closer to my door."Molly?",a little voice cries out. It was Kate! "Kate,get me out of here!",I say.I listen closely at the other end of the door but all I hear is silence."Kate? Kate!" Great, even a five year old hates me. I was glad to hear her talking to someone,but all I could make out was," Yeah,she's ready." I have no idea what I was supposed to be ready for. All I want is to get out of this room.
This time I hear heavier,and stronger footsteps coming up the stairs. The knob of my door slowly twists sideways,opening the door. My step-father walks in giving me a negative look. " Thanks.",I say relieved to be free. "Oh,soooo welcome.",he says sarcastically. He walks up to me his hands behind his back. His gray eyes look down at me. "Daddy says he has a surprise!",Kate says excitedly jumping up and down. "Wow,another?", I say. "Yes,and this time even better.",he says. Nevertheless he starts walking up to me strangely."Show her the surprise daddy!!",Kate says with excitement. He turns around and gives her a nod. Once his eyes are locked into my eyes he says,"come here,Molly,it will be the best way to tell the surprise." I hesitate at first but then start to walk forward cautiously. He tells me to sit on a nearby chair I have in the corner of my room. I do as he tells me.
The chair was actually quite comfortable. It had a purple fleece on the top,and plastic that still covered the chair like it was really special or something. I sit and wait for my step-father to tell me what to do. "Good! Now put your hands on the chair's arms and your feet apart.",he says." Ok but,....wait a minute! This is a trap isn't it,there is no surprise!",I say irritably. "Kate,you knew about this? You didn't even tell me?!" She looks at me with a sad look on her face her hands covering her eyes. She runs out of the room crying. I try getting up,but before I can do that,chain looking things rap around my legs and my arms."What! Stop!",I yell. He comes over to me with a small handkerchief from behind his back.I knew what he was gonna do."Help! Stop! Somebody help! Kate!!",I yell with fear. "Don't waste your voice on calling anyone because they won't be finding you EVER again." He says cruelly. "Any last words?" I look at him in disbelief,"Oh,please. Ok, I've got one. What's your name?",I ask. He looks down at the floor. "Nsnxjnd" he mumbles. "Say what now?",I look at him like he had just spoken German or something."It's not important.", he says and before I knew it he was tying the handkerchief on my mouth,and grabbing my chair with such force I thought it would break. He opens a little door-similar to an attics and pushes the chair in.
I fall face first, head hitting the floor. I stand up and look around me. It's cold and dark,but as I walk deeper into the "room" I notice some pictures hanging on the walls. They were portraits of my step-family each with a happy smile on their face. They must have been taken quite a while back. Kate was wearing pink bows-as usually with a white dress with ruffles at the end. My step mom was wearing a dark,purple skirt and a white shirt as well. My step father was at the very end holding Kate's hand. "What the...aaahh!" I fall into the floor with a huge kaboom! I look up and see the huge whole I had just made on the wooden floor. I look around me and see a little bit of light coming from a far end in the corner. I walk towards it. I see a weird shadow looking figure as I approach and as I get closer I hear wind hitting my neck. At least...I thought it was wind. I look around already holding my breath scared about what I was going to see, but there was nothing there. I get closer to the light and see that it leads to a tunnel. "I guess it's better to escape this way they to stay in here",I say.
I squeeze into the whole and see that it looks like it goes on forever! I start walking,feeling the wet water splashing under my feet. As I walked I saw weird signs that said, TURN BACK NOW, or BEWARE!
After walking about one hour I see the end of the tunnel. I could see light coming from what looked like another hallway. " You've got to be kidding me, another hallway?" That's when I hear the wind brushing against my back again. I turn around my heart skipping a beat AND! I hear footsteps splash splashing on the water of the tunnel. I'm pretty sure my feet weren't moving so it wasn't me. I see a shadow, but not just any shadow. It had a weird shape and hair all over its body. That's when I saw it. "Wha.", I manage to say. I realised just then I shouldn't of said that because it just turned around and looked at me. I stare into his red,blinding eyes that looked like a snake's. It starts to walk up to me faster by each step. I stand there in shock, I just couldn't move. I felt like a statue frozen into place. Run, a voice says inside my head run! I then realize that the wolf creature was about ten feet from me now,five,four,three,two...I run for it,but not away. I run past the wolf under his legs and get into the next loooong hallway. Great, not only is it a hallway, but it's filled with dead people hanging from walls. This has got to be the best day of my life. I walk in and wonder if I'll ever come out.
