Bella Drowned

Bella Drowned Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Ben parted ways and rushed towards his street without hesitation, she too dashed to her front door when she stopped and turned to the house next to her. It had been deserted ever since her old best friend's.. Incident.. She wasn't sure if they cleared her body yet and she's never checked from overwhelming horror. But feeling stronger than before she turned towards the small white and red checkered house. I mean a gang of once thought fictional murderer's are potentially after her, so diving into the pit of her curiosity surrounding Llia's death shouldn't be too bad right? The red paint on the windowsills and doors had chipped over time, the railings for the wooden porch had fallen in small flakes scattered across the cracked porch floorboards. She stepped up the creaking old stairs, the happy memories of them writing stories together in the woods flashed in her head. She cautiously reached for the doorknob, and was grateful when the door easily creaked open. It wasn't long before she felt a boiling hatred fill her body to the brim due to the ransacked home. It was tough for her, being social was especially hard, and some how that brought her to a small circle of friends just like her in elementary. It was like a therapy group, Llia the suicidal one, Zyphony the blind one, and Lero the angry misunderstood one, quite depressed as well, then there was herself. Bella, the glue that held them all together. She couldn't exactly put into words how to describe herself, well she probably could if she took the time to expand her vocabulary farther than role play purposes. Her mind had just skimmed over these hazy memories to reach her reality of the home. She exhaled deeply, releasing the dry warm air from the house once incased in her lungs. With a twitch of her ear, a single scurrying mouse sent her running from the house on instant and she fumbled and jammed the key to the front door and turned the lock open. She carefully shut it behind her and was greeted with a teary eyed mother and an anxiety relieved brother, both taking Bella into their open arms.
