The Cellar

James Conner

I woke up and sat up. I saw the broken step. I rubbed my forehead and looked at the blood on my hand. "Brianna." I hear someone whisper. I look around the dark room. I hear a child laugh and footsteps that followed. I pull my iPod touch out of my pocket. I flash a light around, in the corner of the room I see a little boy he's facing the wall "Little boy, how did you get down here?" The boy begins to turn his head I hear a loud snap as he turned his head completely around. "Father." The boy says. I turn and run up the stairs. I run into my father. My dad asked what happened, I told him "Brianna that's crazy, you hit your head ..." I scream "I'll show you!" My father follows me downstairs to the cellar. There's no boy or a broken step. I watch my dad search the cellar "Nothing here." He says as he walks back upstairs. I just stand in the dark cellar.

I sit on my bed. I have already unpacked my things. But my books were missing. I asked my dad where they were "Look in the attic Honey." I walk to the hallway and pull the stairs down. I walked into the attic. I see boxes everywhere some with dust on them and other with no dust. I knew I should look in the non dusty ones. I bend over to begin searching. Suddenly a box falls from a shelf. I turn and walk to the box I pick up the dusty box, a photo falls from under it. I place the box on the shelf. After that, I picked the photo, the photo was of the little boy! The one from the cellar!

I take down the box and opened it... In the box was documents, photos and toys. I picked up the dusty teddy bear. I pick up a piece of paper I read it

"James." I say . I grab the teddy bear and run to the cellar. "James?" I say as I walk down the stairs. I see James sitting in the room. I put the teddy bear next to him. He looks up "Thanks." He says.
