Scars Cant Heal

27

"Hunter, hunter, wake up"

"What?" I sit up slowly to find bella sitting cross legged on the end of my bed.

"You told me to come back at seven so I did but when I knocked on the door no one answered, in the end I decided to just let myself in" she laughs getting off my bed and walking out the room so I could get dressed.

I looked at my phone and it read 7:14, so much for waking up an hour earlier. I chucked on some skin tight black jeans and a fall out boy shirt, opening the door up for bella once I was done.

"Jeez your not a morning person are you" she laughed

"No I couldn't sleep at all last night"

"Why not?"

I told her about the return knock last night and she completely freaked out.

"Omg we have to get into that room what if someone has been locked in there for all those years?!"

"Yeah but my dad would not be to happy if he came home to a huge fucking hole in the hallway will he?!"

"Well then how else can we... oh my god! Wait we can go out your window and into the room through that window!"

I literally palm slapped my face realising that I couldn't think of that.

"I think I was to tired to even think that."

She laughs, "well lets go" she starts walking to my window and pushes the window up, letting the cool breeze fill the room.

"Hold up" I said running over to my draws grabbing two torches and a knife, just in case.

We both carefully stepped out onto the roof and walked slowly over to the other window, keeping a bit of distance. I gave bella my torch and tried to lift the window up but it was locked from the inside, no wait someone had siliconed it from the outside so you couldn't open it from either. I shone the torch into the room to only find a broken looking bed and a chest of draws over in the right hand corner, no signs of life.

"What do we do now?" Bella asked

"Fuck it, were not coming this far to give up!" I then find a loose tile on the roof and smash the window until there was no glass left in the frame. I leant through the window and shone the torch around the entire room, still no sign of life, not even on the roof. Yes I checked the roof, I've seen a lot of horror movies ok.

"Lets go" I say to bella and slowly drop myself into the room with bella close behind me, the roof smelt of mold and dirt and there was nothing in the room but the bed and draws. I move over to the cupboard and open up all the draws to find a wrapped up thing, it looked like it had been wrapped up in leaves and a shoelace was tied around it. I shoved it in my back jeans pocket and kept looking around.

"Hunter" I hear bella whisper from over at the bed, as I walk of she points to the bed and moves back a bit, visibly shaking. I look over at the bed and shine the torch under the bed thinking to find a scary creature or something but instead I find something waaaayyyyy better! I drag the bed away from the wall, a high pitched screeching noise followed. Once the bed was away from the wall I shone a torch down the tunnel that had been dug under the bed, I fucking hate tunnels!!!

We both move closer to the tunnel and it looked like someone had made it go through the walls unnoticed, I step back a bit and look at bella. She looks as confused as I am.

I take a deep breath in, not wanting to do it but, "hello?" I yell down the tunnel and hear it echo through. I instantly stay dead still and wait for something to come crawling back up the tunnel to rip our throats out. But nothing came.

"Should we go down?" I ask bella, not wanting to but I wanna find out where it leads to.

"Um... yeah.. I guess but only a little bit, then we're coming straight back up here!"

"Good plan" I grab her hand and step down into the small tunnel, dragging her behind with me. I shine the torch in front of my and quietly crawl through the wall, with only one way to go. The tunnel leads to a corner turning left and keeps going until it leads to another door to the left side and the main tunnel continuing down. I shine the torch through the tunnel leading down the wall while bella trys the little door, locked. Down the tunnel there is a small space before there are broken floor boards leading into a tunnel in the dirt with roots hanging around, OH FUCK NO!!!

With that I motion for bella to start crawling back, she gets to the bit where you drop down into the tunnel and I help push her up and out. I take one last look down the tunnel and then jump out myself, leaving us to both sprint out of that room and jumping onto the roof.

"Shit that was terrifying!!!" Bella doesnt stop looking at the window.

"Oh hell yes!" I say agreeing with her.

"Omg and the window cant be closed up now!"

"Well im not opening my window at night then am I?"

"Lets get out of here!"

With that we both got up and headed into my room (locking the window behind me) in the light we could properly see our clothes covered in dust and wall plaster. We head downstairs and brush ourselves outside, then head inside to make PB&J sandwiches. We sit down at the table and I look at my favourite fall out boy shirt hoping that the plaster and dirt will come off of it easy.

"Damn I really liked this shirt"

"I love that shirt, FOB is like my favourite band ever!!"

"Really?!" I ask

"Mhm, I like a lot of bands like that"

"Sweet, do u play an instrument?"

"Uh... no.. but I love to sing... I'm not that good though" she says, the blush rising to her cheeks.

"I doubt that, I bet your an amazing singer!" Her face brightens up.

"What do you play? The piano or guitar cause I saw both in that room upstairs"

"Uh.. guitar, I've always wanted to know piano but I only know like three songs."
