Corners

Chapter 1

It's my first attempt so please cooperate and show your support if you like it.

"Don't be an idiot,Alex! It's just a house!" Said Sam.

"Well its an abandoned house were a murder had taken place!"

"Oh! Don't be a pussy. Now suck it up and let's go." Andy grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the entrance of the house. It was 2 o'clock at night and it was freezing outside. The house was pretty old ad there were cracks in the wall and paint was caked off the walls at some places, giving the whole property a creepy look.

Surprisingly, the front door was not locked and so Sam pushedit open. At that very moment a chill ran down my spine, something wasn't right.

It was dark inside and very little moonlight was able to enter inside through the broken windows. Pieces of broken mirrors and glass were spread all over the floor.
I took a step inside, sound of the glass cracking filled the dense air, cutting through the silence like a knife through meat.

Slowly, Andy and Sam followed me in.with everry step I took inside, my heart felt heavier and heavier.

Pictures of the family that lived here were hung on the walls. In a picture was the husband, his wife and his two children whom he had killed and buried and then he had killed himself. What was disturbing about the picture was that no one was smiling in it, rather they were looking straight with no emotions on their faces and tense body posture. It felt as though they were staring directly right at me.

I pushed the uneasy feeling away and took few steps backwards while facing the frame.

At that moment I felt something cold creep up my shoulder, I jumped with shock and turned around only to find myself staring directly into two deep dark pits.

"Hey! Calm down Missy!" Sam exclaimed while laughing so loud that I thought that the walls would crumble down.
"You dumbhead! You almost gave me a heart attack!" I shouted at him, then I realized how stupid I was and joined in with Sam's and Andy's laughing session.

'These idiots will be the death of me' I thought to myself.

"Remind me why am I here with you two?". Sam replied, "Because we were bored and wanted to scare the crap out of you." And with that they both started laughing again, sounding more like hyenas than humans.

I narrowed my eyes at them and went to the opposite direction, away from the frame and towards one of the rooms, curiosity taking over me.

Andy and Sam were still in the hall. I went inside the room, it was in the same condition as the hall. I noticed that the full length mirror of the dresser was shattered.

"Oh, so that's were the mirror shards came from." I whispered to myself.

Thud.

"What was that?" I said out loud.

Thud.

I sounds as if it is done deliberately.
I looked around the room to register where the sound is coming from.

Thud.

It's coming from inside the cupboard.

I felt as if a stone is formed inside my throat, I tried to gulp it down.

And then I noticed..

I couldn't hear the boys laughing anymore.

Thud.
I walk towards the cupboard, forcing each and every step.
I knew that I should turn around and go search for the boys, but deep down I felt like something was nudging me towards the cupboard, like I had no choice but to see what's inside it.

As I lifted up my shaky hand towards the doorknob, I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead.

I grab the knob and twist it open..
