The Murderer Next Door

The Basement of Hanging Friends

We were in there for what felt like hours. "Caleb do you have your phone?" I asked quietly. I remember Georgia saying that someone should call the police.

"It's dead." He replied. Great! His phone is as dead as the others are. Ugh there was no hope. The party usually ends at 1 o'clock in the morning, and by that time we could possibly be dead. Well if I survive, I should probably think of lies to tell the parents of those who are now dead.

"Hey what should we..." I started to say but Caleb covered my mouth. I could hear steps going towards the basement. It sounded like something was being dragged on the floor.

I cracked the door open an looked the other way to see the attic ladder was down. After the sound of footsteps faded I climbed up the ladder to see Georgia's dead body was gone,

"She's gone." I told Caleb. "Where could my sister's corpse have gone?" I looked towards the stairs and thought of the basement.

I ran to the basement and almost fainted once again. "Oh my god..." Caleb gasped. In a circle was our dead friends, hanging by rope like the woman's old husbands were like.

Caleb went up to Georgia, who was the closest to us, and fell to his knees and immediately started crying. "I am the worst big brother ever." He sobbed. I walked up behind him and went on my knee. I allowed him to cry onto my shoulder.

"Caleb it was my fault..." He looked up with his tear filled eyes. "No it isn't Beca."

"Caleb, I was supposed to protect her. You weren't there, I was. I left her behind me and basically allowed her to be killed. It's my fault..." I could feel the tears welling up and a sob in my throat.

This was my fault. I agreed to go in the house. I didn't even try to stop Georgia from going in. I am the one who is responsible for her death, even though the woman killed her.

I couldn't hold back my tears and Caleb started to hug me. I started crying into his chest while he had me in his arms.

Oh great, this sounds like a love story now.

"Oh good. The last ones who want my surprise..." Her voice echoed throughout the room, following up by a psycho laugh. At this moment, I knew this may be the last time I may see this life.

Hope you liked this chapter. Please tell me what you think in the comments. Will Caleb and Beca get out alive? Or will the woman kill them both? Will this woman get caught? What will happen? Will I stop asking questions?

Enough questions! So tell me what you think in the comments. Don't forget to vote! Bye.
