THE VIRTUAL WORLD

Ten

Takk. ......  takkk.

The sound came from that side of the door. The someone was knocking. Kates heartbeat raised as if she was getting a heart attack. Jason was shocked his eyeballs were about to pop out in fear. He could here the wheezy breath of the someone behind the door.

He didn't open the door. Suddenly the someone started banging the door.

"What shall we do?" Kate whispered. Jason couldn't utter a word. The intensity of banging increased so much that Jason was vibrating now.

"Let's hide." Jason said "Stay with me. Pull that chair over here".

Kate pulled the chair and kept it against the door.

"Run" Jason whispered. Kate could hardly here but Kate started to run as fast as she could.

"Follow me I know a secret place." Kate said. They heard a thud the creature might have broke the door in anger.

Kate took Jason to a small place that was the small door under the staircase. It was the playroom constructed for Kate when she was a little girl. There was another door which lead to a cupboard kind of thing constructed in the wall for storage. The quickly entered the room under the staircase.

"Oh! Crap, I just forgot the cupboard in the wall has a lock and the key, yes it's in my bedroom." Kate said puffing. "Let's go to find they keys."

"Are you mad just stay over here we are going nowhere, it's danger over there, close the door." Jason said.

They hide there, suddenly they could here someone's footsteps,  they were quite heavy . They peeped out through a small hole in the wooden door. The someone was a lady, a bit fat, plump faced, her eyes were dark and she had hair tied into a bun, there was something thing glowy in her hand.

"Come out, Kate,  my dear, I know you are somewhere hiding over here. Kate... Kate... Where are you.?" She called out.

Kate started sobbing into tears her nightmare was true. That meant everyday this lady came to her room, disturbed her. Kate couldn't help crying out. Her life had became like a virtual game they fight many witches and villains. She saw her heading back, but as she was going, she saw her fading into the light in her hand. She was no more but still they waited there till some other person could.

Jason was awestruck he was the one who said nothing like this stuff existed but, he just couldn't believe his eyes he didn't utter a word nor did Kate. But there was something still left there was someone and the someone whom they had seen in the basement was surely not this lady, it sounded like a creature.

"Kate, there's someone else." Jason whispered in her ear. He didn't want to make her shiver but just as warning for her poor little soul.

Then ..........suddenly. .......
