That Gives Me The... Creeps

Melanie walked into he airport with her fiancé, Christian. With her white fitted dress tightly around her hips, her silky blonde hair covered her shoulders. Christian was a kind and helpful young man, is tall and handsome. He was wearing the runners that Melanie had bought him before their holiday, a tank top and baggy shorts.

"Mum, Christian and I have just arrived in Miami."

Belinda replied in a soft and gentle tone, "Fantastic! I will see you soon. Would you like me to pick you up from the airport?" The line cut off unexpectedly and Belinda became a little confused. Melanie began to worry so she pinched Christian.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Melanie apologized and hurried away to the conveyer belt.

15 minutes later....

Christian is asleep, though Melanie tried to keep him awake, by pinching him a various amount of times.

"OMG!! Mum, I was so worried about you!" Melanie yelled in relief. Belinda was still confused at the time, though invited the couple into her house.

Melanie, who loves dressing up, changed into a rose dress, heeled shoes, and had rosy red cheeks. She came to dinner in a very tired mood. Christian on the other hand, came in a t-shirt and jeans, as well as a scent of after shave. Later that evening, the three of them had a nice meal in silence.

"After such a long day, I feel so tired so I'm going to bed." Melanie explained with a tired voice, with a yawn.

"I'll be there soon darling, after I clean up alright?" replied Christian in a kind tone.

"You don't need to help, have a rest as you have had such a long day." Belinda declared.

Later that night....

Creek! "What on earth was that? Christian wake up!" Melanie started to panic. Christian woke up feeling gassy, from all the beans he had eaten the previous night, and asked Melanie if she was alright.

"I heard it, it was in the basement." Melanie explaimed with her eyes open wide, and her hands shaking in so much fright.

"We'll check the basement tomorrow morning, it was probably the house, since it is so old." Christian said to calm her down.

Early that morning....

Melanie quickly had a shower and changed into jeans and a one shouldered top. She then woke Christian up, feeling bad, though really wanting to see what the noise was from, that she had heard the precious night. In his pyjamas, Christian went into the hallway, towards the basement door who was followed by Melanie.

The creaky floorboards woke Belinda up.

"What are you two doing, roaming around the hallway?" Belinda demanded for an answer.

"Checking something out in the basement, that's all no need to worry." Christian replied in a calm tone.

"Fantastic, I have be meaning to check it as well, as I have been hearing strange noises from that direction," protested Belinda.

As they slowly approached the door that lead to the basement, there was a loud noise. When Christian reached out and twisted the doorknob, the door swung open and there was a dark figure inside.

"Who are you?" Melanie locked her arms tightly around Christian's.

"Hello, I am Mathew." Melanie was in shock, as that was her Dad,s name who had passed away.

"I am not dead. I have had some time in here, as I had accidentally locked myself in here a few months ago."Matthew tried his best to explain.

Belinda rushed into the room and swung her arms around Matthew, as she had thought he had passed away. Melanie had never seen such a long hug in her life.
