ZAYN'S POV:

I walked into the house the minute the taxi pulled up in front with my bags trailing behind me. I swung open the door to the astonishing sight of a hallway. The house wasn't anything like the pictures and something just seemed off. I dropped my bags and headed into the kitchen to find it completely deserted. There was no appliances to be seen. I noticed an open window and walked to close it. I had expected something totally different, but this would have to do. As I walked into the living room I looked around to find a very small couch and nothing else. It had looked so pretty. What had happened to the house in the pictures? Was I being played?

I started to head up the stairs only to head back down after remembering my bags. I darted up the stairs with my bags bouncing with me. I tripped and face-planted, groaning when I hit the floor. I pulled myself back up to my feet and hurried along the wall to the closest door. The bedroom was fine with a small bed and dresser. I hurried to put my clothes away and rushed into the bathroom. It had a nice big shower and a toilet with a sink. I was sure I could deal with this house. I just had to clean it up and put my own touches with things like the living area and kitchen before I would feel at home.

I walked back to my room after I set the shampoo and body wash in the shower and my tooth things by the sink. I walked back to my dresser and pulled out some newer black skinnies and a black t-shirt. I grabbed clean boxers and headed back into my bathroom. I started the water and stripped out of my clothes before hoping into the warm water. I stayed under the water as it loosened my tense muscles and I stayed silent as the water covered me. I cleaned up and jumped out, dragging my towel around my body.

I dried off and shoved on my clothes, still towel-drying my hair. When I got my hair mainly dried I styled it into my usual quiff and ran down to the kitchen. When I arrived I remembered the fact that I had no appliances, no food, and no car. I groaned and left my house with my wallet in my pocket. As I headed out to the store I looked around at my surroundings. It really wasn't the picture perfect town I was led to believe. It gave me small chills and I started to speed up my walk. I wanted to get back to my small house before something bad happened.

I hurried into the small store and walked around until I found something that didn't need to be refrigerated. I didn't have a fridge so I couldn't buy any soda, juice, or milk. I was slightly irritated, but brushed it off and bought some crisps, bread, crackers, and a few other things. I hurried to the exit after I paid and practically ran home. The place gave me the creeps.

I rushed through my front door and hurried inside, locking it behind me. I paced to the kitchen and placed the bags on the counter to open later. I had always been a fan of basements so I decided to head down and check mine out. I scaled down the stairs into the dark, flicking on the lights as I hit the ground. I jumped back as I saw a shadow move. What in the world was moving?

I walked towards the movement and was automatically caught off guard. A figure shot across the wall behind a few boxes. I was terrified but continued moving forward. When I saw more movement I picked a crow-bar off the ground and held it infront of me. What or maybe even who was in my house?
