What You Don't Know

What You Don't Know - One

No. Don't think about it, not again.

I lean over to see my boring room, in this boring house, in my boring life. But I can't stop thinking about the day. The day I found the cave, and the terrors that hid inside...

I was alone, walking back from school on a cool summers day, and I stumbled across a sign, as I'm a curious person, I go into this area which I've never seen before, and see leaves. Just leaves. Extraordinarily unusual to find in a city, with concrete for ground. But I ventured onwards...

I came across an opening. Not too small but not too big, the perfect size I'd say. I can hear the loud engines from the delivery van above. The delivery van had my mums birthday present in. So I couldn't let her see it, but I wanted to go more into the cave. It looked abandoned, but I saw some graffiti, some cigarette butts, and strangely, a door. I didn't know why a door was standing at the end of the cave, although, it could've had some treasure behind it! Or so I thought... As I opened the door, I just saw a tunnel, still with the same style as the cave, but thinner than I would've imagined.

As the skylight went light to dark, I knew this cave was getting deeper. But this tunnel was leading somewhere, it had to. My phone had no service, it's like you're in London Underground, what a terrible day that was... Back to where I was, I had found a small chest, but it had something engraved on it. I got my torch on my phone on, and it said - "the sacred scroll, that enchants all of humanity, conquers the history of the world, lies in this chest. Once the chest opens, the legendary person that opens it, will receive treasures beyond their wildest dreams!"

It was a confusing statement, but I knew that this was some sort of silly joke that someone was trying to play on me. But I felt a cold a shudder surrounding the tips of my shoulders, it felt like a ghost was with me, but obviously ghosts don't exist, well, that's what I thought! The cold presence eventually stopped invading me. But I had to open this chest, was there a scroll? Or was this a stupid prank? Either way, I had to know.

The rough texture of the sides felt like you're scratching a chalk board with your nails, and the sickening screech of the movement felt like screams from a horror film. Although I was spooked, I opened the chest. Inside was just a small scroll, like the carving said, it was real, not a prank!

The scroll was old, all a mouldy yellow colour, like it was stained with tea-bags. As I opened the scroll, I read the short sentence, I stood there for at least 5 minutes, not saying one thing. As the scroll said - "Wish. Wish with your imagination, don't be too rapid, the others won't like it!"

Really strange, so it was obviously fake about the whole 'sacred' baloney.

But who were the others?
