The House on Hook Street

Chapter 6

They untie the rope from their belts. They tie it to the banister and I grab onto it. The rope immediately splinters my hands. "Ouch." I repeat as I work my way up. I couldn't just jump down because there was 15 feet between me and the floor. I would have broken something.

I reach the top of the rope. "Grab my arms and pull me under the railing." They grab my arms and pull me under. The stairs are sharp and they cut my shirt and scratch my stomach. I reach the stairs. We get back to the floor and catch our breathes. I tie the rope back to their belt buckles and we drag ourselves to the first room we see.

"I'm too weak to kick it, you two do it." I spit out. They hand me the flash light to shine at the door. I sit down as they kick it. I wobble my way over to the room and shine the light. "It's clear." They run out of the room and kick the next door.

They continue to bust open the doors. "Okay, this is the last door, she has to be in here. They bust it down. The three of us run in the room. I shine the flashlight everywhere it can possibly be shined. "There, there's another door in here." We run over to the door. "We can't kick this one down, it opens out. Does anyone have a bobby pin?" I ask. "Me!" Tay says. Tay hands me the bobby pin and I pick at the lock.

"It's not working." "Keep trying!" Tay incourages me. "Ahhh!!!" We heard a scream. "Where did that come from?" "I think it came from behind the door." I pick faster and harder. Then, the door slams shut. I jump. Tay grabs the flashlight and shines it around the room.

All of a sudden, we get elevated and thrown across the room. The door I was picking at swung open. I see Jewls with her legs pulled up to her chest. Then, we get tossed into that same tiny room, one person on top of the other. We all go unconscious.

I wake up in a thin bag. I tear it open with my fingernails and discover I'm in a dumpster. A feel my way around the dumpster, looking for my friends. They are all in here. "Guys wake up." I smack their faces to wake them up. "Ouch!" "Huh?" "Hey!" They shout. "Guys wake up. We're in a dumpster." I inform them. "Let's get out of here." Jewls says while opening the lid.

We all climb out with a thud. "Well, we're all here, let's go home." I say while pointing to a walk way. When we reach the end of the walkway, we soon realize, we have no idea where we are.

"Where are we?" We all ask simeotamiously. "Let's go ask someone." I say walking into the street. I take a step into the mysterious street, I see a car and motion to it to stop, except it didn't stop.
