The House On The End Of The Street

"Help!" Phillip said. He was trying to call the attention of his other friends.

Mal and Reign started coming down the stairs. They ran and they gasped at the sight. Cass was on the floor. She looked lifeless.

"What did you do to her?" Mal asked. She put Cass's head on her arm. Tears were falling from her eyes. All she could think about was how painful life would be without Cass by her side.

"I just made jokes and then she got mad. She fell on the floor and died." Phillip replied. His eyes were as big as basketballs. "I don't know what to do!" He managed to mutte out. He was looking around the basement for things he could use to help revive her.

"Why don't you give her CPR? At least she could start breathing!" Reign suggested.

Phillip hesistated for a moment. Doing CPR was kind of awkward. Doing CPR was almost like kissing a person. 'I need to do it.' He said to himself. He went closer to Cass and checked if she was breathing. She wasn't. "Cass, I hope you are not dead." He said. He got closer to her face. It was as still as a statue.

"HHAHAHAHAH" a loud laugh emerged from the silence. "Please don't tell me you actually fell for that!"

"Cass, what the actual banana did you just try to do?" Mal said. She gave avery disappointed face. Pretending to be dead is not such a great prank. She remembered when Reign did that to her. Losing someone for Mal was not a joke. 'Why would anyone do this? It is so disturbing.' Mal thought.

Phillip was shocked. He had actually thought he murdered Cass. He was hit with a rush of panic. He was starting to imagine how he would go to jail. He was probably going to be charged with 1st degree murder if he had actually killed Cass. "I hate you. Like so much."

Reign chuckled. He had done the same thing to Mal. He liked the idea that someone in his circle of friends was a prankster too. "That was a great one!" He said as he high-fives Cass.

"Oh stop it both of you." Mal exclaimed. "We need to find anything that can help us get out. To be honest, I have lost count of the days we had been in here." She confessed.

Everyone agreed. They all splitted up and went into detective mode. Cass was thinking of finding for a key that could go through the hole of the front door, Phillip was searching for a map of the house, Reign was imagining a secret door, while Mal was getting the idea of another note that could save them all.

"I think a found something!" Reign shouted. He showed it to everyone. It was a dusty old book. Written in the front was "The Art of the Dead." Strange. Why would someone keep a book like this in their own house? As Reign opened it, a hand came out of no where. 

"DON'T TOUCH THE SACRED BOOK OF SOULS." Came from the thing that grabbed Reign. 

"GUYS." He managed to scream out. 

"You will bring us to the world. Everyone will remember me." The voice screamed. 

The group came and saw everything. They were able to remove the hand from Reign. This time, he was unconscious. No one was able to wake him up.
