Medieval Gateway

The Uncovering

I woke up brutally murdered in my dream.
Scared to death by my own nightmare, I went to the kitchen to get some water and came back upstairs to take my morning vitamins.

Since that nightmare was enough to keep me thinking about the same matter for the rest of the day, I decided that today was the day I was going to finally re-decorate my room after 1 year of living here. And weird I should say it actually is our 1 year anniversary of living in this place.

I quickly changed into a fresh white plain t-shirt and black shorts and headed downstairs to the basement. There I had about two cans of crimson red paint that I had bought a couple of weeks before when I decided I was going to paint my room on one of these days.

Picking up those two cans, I went upstairs to my room and set them down on the ground where I had put newspapers.

I wondered why nobody was awake and eating breakfast so I went back outside into the hallway connecting my room to my parents'.

I caught a glimpse of a note they had left on their door so I grabbed it and it read

"Had To Go Do Some Errands With Lydia(sister) and Brandon(twin brother). Order Some Pizza. Be Back By 5pm."

I put the note in the garbage and walk back to my room.

I think to myself since I'm going to be painting all of my walls then I'm gonna have to move my bed. But right then I realized that I was going to be sneezing a lot because I haven't moved that bed since we moved here and partly because it already came with the house.

The bed looked new so my mom didn't bother to change it.

I cracked my knuckles and used all the strength I had to move that stable leg bed. It took a few tries to get it out of the wall's way but finally I did it.

The weird thing is that there was a carpet under the bed....who keeps a carpet under a bed?

Right at the bottom of the wall where the carpet was, there was a metal rusty door knocker.

Okay....this is getting weirder by the second, who keeps a door knocker attached to the wall hitting the floor?

I moved the carpet causing dust mites to spread all over the room.

I knelt down and grabbed the door knocker and pulled it, then I saw something around the door knocker opening. It was like a square shaped door that I can pretty much fit into if I was crawling.

I pulled more and more until the door sprung open like something on the other side was pushing it towards me. It made me fall back coughing because of the dust that had come out of the inside of the hole.

The hole was dark enough but there was this sense of light straight at the bottom of a staircase that you had to crawl down on.

I grabbed a flashlight that was on my desk and went inside the hole carefully crawling down the stairs.

There was another door but this time light was coming from the edges. I put my ear on the door trying to listen to whatever was behind it. I heard the stomping of what was caused by horses.

Since I've been living in this place for 1 year, I'm pretty sure I would know if there were horses in this neighborhood.
