Screams Of Fear

Chapter 2:What's going on

Mum's POV
"What is taking her so long?" I muttered under my breath.
I decided to go to the door to the basement and call for her. "Maria! Are you ok?!" I shouted down the stairs.
No answer. If she ok? Nah, she is fine, probably just wants to be alone. But in the basement, strange. Instead of gong down into the basement, I headed into the living and sat down on the couch. I hope she is ok.

Maria's POV
I tried to scream, but when I did no noise came out.
Wait... wtf happened? I looked around. I saw a silhouette of something hunched over in the far corner of the basement. What was that?
'Should I make a run for it?' I thought about it for a few minutes before deciding to.
I slowly got up and the silhouette in the corner moved to face me. Shit. I sprint to the stairs and made it up.
"What took you so long?!" Mum asked me.
"Umm..I couldn't find the trash bags." I lied.
"Ok. I'll go down there and find them tomarrow."
"NO, don't. Let's just go the store." I shouted.
"Maria, are you ok?"
"I'm fine, just it's dark down there.... and it's not safe."
"Ok....... I won't go down there."
