THE BASEMENT

The Girls Bones

We all turned around and ran out of that basement as fast as we could. We ran up the hill towards my porch and ran inside. My mother was frantic. She ran up to us and asked us all what was wrong. We all started talking at once. "Well we were down in the basement and-" "we found a body!". She sat us down and told me to come forward. She asked me what had happened and so i told her. I told her about the secret room, and the doll. "And thats how we found this little girls skeleton."I finished. "Ok hunny I have to go call the police so you guys just sit tight alright." She said. So we sat on my couch an drank some coffee. When the police arrived, they asked us our story, and we told them. Then they extracted the body. I asked them if they needed the doll but they said that it would be fine for me to keep it. Later that night all my friends stayed over, and my grandma came out of her room for dinner. She came in happily and gve us all a big grin. But when she saw the doll she started to cry. She turned and hobbled back up the stairs to her room. So Arianna and I got up and went in with her to see what was wrong. We walked in an my grandma was crying and holding a picture. Before we could say a thing she turned and said "I have lived in this house my entire life. My parents, my sister, and I. Thats what startled me my love. That doll in your hand was my sisters." she said. "What is wrong with that?" I asked. "My sister went missing when she was six and that doll was never found." She told us. Now might be a good time to tell her. "Ummm, Grandma, you wouldnt know because you were asleep but.... We found a girls body in the basement. In a secret room. She hung herself." I said. My grandma starts crying again and we leave. The doll seems just a bit more creepy now that I know her story.
