Behind The Doors

Jeahna stared at her phone as she walked around the quiet woods. Her finger was scrolling through her music, wondering what's the perfect song to play on such a creepily-atmosphered scene. A twig snapped under her light green doll shoes, causing her to jump back in fear. Her chocolate brown eyes stared at the tiny broken object. "Dumb twig," she whispered to herself.

Her left hand had clutched the pink headphones she was using, while her right one finally selected a soundtrack. Falling Fast by Avril Lavigne.

"I'm falling fast

I hope this lasts

I'm falling hard for you

I'd say let's take the chance

Take it while we can cause

I know you feel it too

I'm falling fast," she sang along.

Jeahna had arrived at the side of the large house when she saw an old window. Of course, being herself, she went to investigate and dusted a bit of dust of off the glass. The girl thought that this room could be Janice's room or the actual library that came in with this house, due to the fact that it was filled with books all over.

Out of the blue, a gray cat jumped on the window and startled the watcher. Just like a while ago, she fell back. But his time, she nearly bumped her head on a boulder that wasn't there when she first scanned this area. She got up on her feet, and removed all the visible dirt that could be seen on her knee-length green sundress. A sigh left her mouth as she continued to circle the house.

Nothing was really interesting in the perspective of Jeahna. The fact that she wasn't really an outside person, was the main reason why everything seemed dull. Her own version of a "lively world", would be a computer screen with the sound waves arranged in lines. Click a triangular button and wonderful sounds will begin to fill your ears.

After what felt like ages, she arrived at the back which had two sets of doors: the back doors and another that she didn't know. Jeahna already knew where the back doors would lead, which left her to the mystery of the other entrance. The door was oddly placed tilting down, facing the ground, just like a basement would. But the basement's entrance was inside the house near Justin's room. "Where could this lead?" she wondered.

Her hand had put her phone inside her pocket and proceeded to grab one of the handles. The other one copied the second action and began pulling it up. Once the doors were fully open, dust flew around, causing the poor girl to sneeze her way inside. The odd looking marble walkway under the door caught a lot of attention. "Why is this here?" asked the wanderer.

The heels of her doll shoes clicked on the marble flooring and brought her in. Her eyes had observed that the walls and ceiling were quite mossy, due to the fact that this was quite old. But the true attention thief was actually the bright white light that was at the end of the hallway.
