Austin's Pov

I had just come back home from work. The floorboards creaked as I walked in, shutting the wooden black door behind me.

I hadn't seen Henry come to work, so I assumed he was home.
"Henry?" I called out. There was no response.

I repeated myself once again, only to be met with silence.
"He must've gone out." I thought out loud.

Silence echoed through the house. It was quiet, too quiet..

I felt my chest getting tight from my binder, so I figured that I should probably get changed.

I walked slowly up the stairs, hearing every other step creak under my weight. I traced my hand along the banister, feeling the encarvings in the wood along my fingertips.

When I was about half way up the stairs however, I had began to smell something strange. It had smelt as if something had died.

Two thoughts had entered my mind at that moment; either a rat or some other rodent  had died inside of the walls, or something much worse could have happened.

I felt my feet slowly creep up as I made my way up the stairs, shaking my head as I tried to get rid of the bad thoughts.

By the time I had made it to the top, the smell was so bad I could taste it. (-It was like eating expired meat, but almost worse.-)

I quickly rushed to our bedroom and grabbed some more comfortable clothes from out the closet.

"I need to find what's causing that smell." I mumbled, opening the bathroom door.

My heart had felt like it had stopped once I saw Henry lying dead on the floor, propped up on the sink.

I dropped my clothes and collapsed the the floor, quickly holding him in my arms. His wrists had seemingly fresh cuts and his throat had a deep slit in it, still bleeding.

"HENRY!" I screamed, placing a hand over the cut in his neck to try to prevent as much bleeding as I could, but to no avail.

I could taste vomit in the back of my throat, (-both from the sight and from the smell-) but I just swallowed it down.

"HENRY PLEASE! WAKE UP!!" I pleaded. No response. His thick blood had painted everything around him red.

"HENRY PLEASE. YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP!" I begged, feeing salty tears run down my face. I felt my heart beat out of my chest; unlike his..

"HENRY ITS GONNA BE OKAY. ILL CALL AN AMBULANCE JUST PLEASE STAY WITH ME!!" I prayed, grabbing my phone out my pocket and dialling 911.
