Alex opens the door for us. We enter the room. The girl walks to the door. "There's the door" Alex said.

Rocky helps the girl so she wouldn't fall. I stand right next to Rocky, hoping this will work."are you ok?" Rocky says, the girl nodded.

Alex goes to the door. Trying to open it but it wouldn't budge. "What's wrong?" Rocky said. Alex rattled the door. "What's wrong" I say now to Alex. "It's locked" Alex said looking at the key hole. "You have the keys. Don't you have the keys.?" Rocky said to Alex

Alex pats himself down to try and find the keys. Which he does. "One of these should open it" Alex says picking a key. Looking back at the door and back at Alex, scared and mad.

"Come on" Rocky said to Alex. "Okay"
Alex said unlocking the door. "Yes" I say happy. We're going to get out of here, finally.

Alex try's to open the door but it was heavy. "[grunts] come on" Alex said pushing the door. The door swung open. There stood the old man.

The old man pointed a gun at us. The girl screams. He shoots the gun.

[BANG]

[BANG]

[BANG]

Next thing I know is that I'm on the floor next to Rocky. I look up and see Alex on the floor. And the girl looking at us. Blood running out of her face and dripping down to her clothes to the floor.

Covering my mouth, trying not to make any sound. [THUD] the girl dropped to the floor. Blood poured out. Looking at the old man, terrified. Alex rolled over to us. We got up and ran.

[BANG]

Gun shots go off over and over again.  We stopped and hid behind a shelf. I looked around and didn't see Rocky. Until I saw her laying on the floor. Blood running out of her head. Covering my mouth. Tears clouding my vision. No my best friend is dead. I grabbed Alex and showed him Rocky's dead body. He covered his mouth crying. "Rocky?" He whispered. We didn't get an answer. Crying harder. I tapped Alex and told him to be quiet.

Looking back at the door. The old man coming down the stairs, with his gun up. "He shot her" I said to Alex. The old man started walking, until he stepped in blood. The old man stopped, pointed his gun at the woman's dead body.

He got down in one knee and felt around the body. He stopped and released, it was the girl he had in his basement.

"No...no" the old man said. Crying, he put his head on her shoulder. Shaking the girls body to see if she's alive. He flips her over and cries more. Holding the girl close to his chest. "My baby".

Rocking back and forth holding the dead body. He picks up the gun and yelled. "NO..NO". He gets up and walks to the door. Closing it shut, he takes a tool and jams it in the key hole. Next he bangs it in the wall, and then breaks it. "We have to go upstairs" Alex told me.

"These keys, they match the locks on the front door." Alex says holding up the keys. "If we get up there, we can get out." He adds. I nodded my head. "Let's go" Alex said.

We got up and ran. [gun shots]. I pushed through the door we came in from, Alex behind me. Bam. It turns. pitch black. He had to cut the lights off. DAMN IT!. I yall in my head. "Shit" I said trying to feel Alex. [gun shot] I ducked down, and crawled somewhere. [glass shattering]. I found a door and opened it and went inside.

I stood up felt around. A shelf with boxes. I kept walking, feeling around. "Alex" I called. [gun shot]. I yelped at the gunfire. I walked faster, feeling around. I turned a corner. Still feeling around. I put my hands out. To see if I could feel anything. I stopped. To scared to move. "Kayla?" I heard Alex call my name. [gun shot]. I covered my head. Was I close to him. My ears feel like they could bleed, from how loud it was.

Alex's pov

It's to dark. I can't see, Rocky's dead. All of a sudden a hand grabs my throat hard. I feel a gun on my head. Gasping for air. He tried to shot but there were no bullets. "Please don't" I beg the old man. I feel something hard across from me. I put my feet up. And push, push as hard as I can. I tipped the shelf over. "AHHH" I yelled. His grip was gone.

Kayla's pov

I heard Alex scream, and then a big boom. I hope he's ok. "Kayla!" I heard Alex yell. "Alex.. Alex" I called back. Trying to find my way to him. It's still dark I can't see anything. Until I touched Alex. "Kayla...Kayla" he touched me. I let a huge breath I didn't know I was holding. "Okay let's go. Let's go" He replied. Alex grabbed me and pushed me closer to him.

"This way. This way, come on" He said to me. Walking beside him, I felt safe. "Light, I see light" I said.
