Escape

The Basement

I get up from bed and checked the clock at my bedside; it's 10:32AM. I proceed to go to the bathroom, I check in the closet and there's a little bag with my name on it, that has a bunch of bathroom essentials. And I think to myself "Awe cute." I brush my teeth, then I brush through my hair and I throw it in a bun. I then go downstairs and see the whole family in the dining room, eating breakfast, at the table.
"There she is!" Says an older man. I assume he's the husband.
"Good morning." I say quietly as I pull my chair to the table.
"Would you like someone thing to eat?" Asks Mrs. Jamison.
"Do you have bagels?"
"Yes. I'll toast you one. Creamcheese?"
"Yes please."
As she gets me my bagel I look over at Cynthia and Elis. Cynthia says "good morning" and Elis winks at me. "Weird", I think to myself. Mrs. Jamison comes back with my bagel and I say thank you. I proceeded to eat it and all of a sudden a hear a weird slamming in the basement.
"What the hell was that?!" I jumped.
"Language, Lucid." Cynthia warns.
"Oh nothing. Something must've fell. Michael, can you go see?" Mrs. Jamison says. The older man goes to the basement door and proceeds downstairs.
"So, Lucid, did you sleep okay?" Mrs. Jamison asked, changing the subject quickly.
"Uhhh, yeah." I said.
"That's good. Are you ready to go shopping?" I completely forgot, she's buying me a new wardrobe.
"Oh, yeah. Thank you." I finish my bagel and go put my dish in the sink.
"Cynthia, can you find an outfit that might fit Lucid?"
"Yes ma'am."
As she walks past me to go upstairs, she smiles at me. She's so sweet.

{After the shopping spree}

We come back a few hours later and I have a total of three pairs of jeans, seven pairs of leggings, 8 pairs of socks, twelve different styled shirts, a pair of black vans, 2 hoodies, a winter jacket, about 15 pairs of underwear and 4 new bras. Holy shit, so many clothes. Practically a whole winter worth of clothing bought in one day. Pretty satisfied with life right now. But then, it hits me. Oh yeah, family's dead. I go to my room and I put all my stuff in the closet. Then I throw myself on my bed and just zone out.

{Elis' Room}

God, that thing, doesn't even deserve to be called a human. So evil, so cruel. How it lives with itself, I don't understand. I just hope it doesn't hurt her.

{Cynthia's Room}

She's so sweet and she's so pretty, just how he likes them. She seems very vulnerable and weak. Hopefully she doesn't get into too much trouble, or else she'll be stuck down there for god knows how long. I remember when I got sent down there, for getting into a fight at school. Never again will I misbehave.

{The Basement}

Fantastic another victim, another prey, another hopeless soul for me. God, how exciting. I hope she gets in trouble soon and then she'll be sent down and the fun will begin.
