Death & Beyond - A Horror Story

Chapter One - Missing!?!

I get home from a day of torture just wanting my bed. "Honey how was school?" My mum asks me. "Boring as usual" I reply. "Oh come on Hun it can't be that bad" she says. "Trust me it is" I say feeling tired. "Would you like some ice cream sweetheart?" She says trying to be enthusiastic. What's up with her she is acting all happy? But in her eyes she looks scared, I say in my head. "Mum why are you so happy you never offer me ice cream, unless it's a special occasion" I say as her facial expression suddenly just snaps into sadness and worry.

"Ava I have very bad news from Skye's parents" she says and looks down at the floor. "Are they moving away or something?!" I say loudly. "Umm, no but.." I cut her off, *phew* she gives me a stern look. "Ok, I'll tell you, but stay calm please. Skye's gone missing and the police think it was in that big gloomy house. The one on Doves Lane, it's mail box is broken and no one lives there" She speaks softly as she holds my hand in some attempt to comfort me. "Y–your kidding right... this is all a big joke!" I yell while trying to deny everything in my head. "No sweetheart, I'm really sorry. No one knows what to do. They've tried to go in the house to find her but all the doors are locked" she explains. "Then how do they know she's in there?" I ask while trying to calm myself down. "Neighbours saw her go in there. She was knocking on doors asking if anyone had seen her aunties cat. When she got to the house where she went missing, a few people that were outside were watching her to see if she'd go to that house. When she then got to the house, the neighbours tried to go up to her to stop her, it was too late. They said that as soon as she got to the door and knocked, the door swung open and something swiftly and quickly pulled her inside, the door then slammed. People waited for a while to see if she came out but she never did, and she hasn't been home or to her aunts house." She explains all that to me while I'm trying to process everything in my mind but I have so many questions that just can't be answered.

Well I'm going to go and look for her!" I say looking dead straight in my mother's eyes. "No honey what if I loose you too, I won't let you go!" She yells as she starts to cry.

I storm out the door and head for the creepy house, I feel butterflies in my stomach. "What am I doing" I say to myself. "No I have to find her!" I say loudly whisper to myself.

I get to the house. It's big it's old and somehow still in tact. It's probably being kept together by all the vines a tree that have grown though it. I look up at one of the shattered windows, I see a woman staring at me. Her hair looked like it was drenched in blood and she was wearing a ripped, bloody white night dress, ankle length. She starts to walk back into the house. Then I see a black cat sitting on the edge of the chimney. Suddenly it falls into the chimney and probably died.

The door flies open and I start getting pushed by something, I can't stop. "HELP!" I yell and scream. No one hears, well there is no one around here, I mean who would this place is scary. As I get through the door the door slams shut. As soon as you enter there is a hallway with 13 doors to different rooms. The 13th door is right at the end with a flickering light above it. I turn around to leave using the door but as when I turn around there is no door just a wall. "Im screwed" I whisper to myself.

A/n: Hey guys I hope you liked my first chapter. There are probably going 13-15 more chapters. 1 chapter for each door an ending and I might do e.g: 9th door - Part one and 9th door - Part two . Something like that. Enjoy!
