And I tried to hold these secrets inside me
My mind's like a deadly disease
My brain is a wreck, it's going to explode with all these thoughts trembling, like a brewing storm within my head.
"Carly."
My head shoots right up.
"Hey carly."
I'm looking all around aghast, terrified. I've heard this noise before. Better not be the house talking, it's already done enough.
"Carly it's me... Mel."
"Mel? Mel! Where are you?" I shout not knowing where she is, like an idiot.
A bright figure emerges from the wall, my sister. She's wearing her very favourite skater shorts with a Hardy Boys' fan merch T-shirt.The very same outfit from when I last saw her.
"Oh mel." I start sobbing like a 4 year old.
She looks so thin and faded like she could disappear into the thin air and moment.
"Mel... you don't look like what a normal person would. You know?"
"Yeah Carly, because... I'm not what you can call a human anymore."
"What do you mean?"
"You need to get out of here before it digests your little human body too."
"I'm sorry. WHO digests WHAT?"
"Carly, remember when I got lost?"
"Of course I do I searched for you all night, I never found you again!"
"When we were playing hide and seek I found this house. I stepped inside and went through the very same brutal experience as you are. Anyways the important thing is you have only 12 hours to get out of here or you might get stuck here forever, the house changes its path every time you enter and exit a room. It's a maze. The house is alive and you can either trigger a new threat by either doing something unusual or entering a room you are not supposed to. The kitchen is more of a safe zone, but do not spend more than 15 minutes over there, it can turn DEADLY."
"Inspiring Melanie. BUT I DON'T WANT TO PLAY GAMES TONIGHT I NEED TO GET HOME AND YES. YOU ARE COMING HOME TOO."
"Carly I can't leave... Unless you do."
"Wait, what...?"
"Forget all about that, are you hungry..?"
I actually am. I haven't eaten since my evening snack. And by the amount of time I have spent here it must be past dinner time. I have only 12 hours to get out of here before I get trapped in here forever!
"Mhm... I am hungry. Why does the house cook too!?"
"Nice joke carly." she pulls out a packet from her back pocket and hands it over to me. Its the choco chip cookie I gave her the day she vanished. I look up towards her and she nods. I rip it open and shove it into my mouth.
"I told you everything you need to know to get out of her. My time's up I need to leave."
"But Mel.."
Before I even could complete my sentence she disappears into thin, cold air.
Cold. It is getting cold. Although there seems to be no ventilation in this house it's freezing cold.
Knock Knock.
"Who's there!?" I ask, shell shocked.
Followed by a woman's laugh. The very same woman. The door knob turns. I run towards the door blocking it with all my forces.
