House Of Secrets

Chapter 5

          My thoughts were soon interrupted by my mom calling my brother and I to the kitchen. I walked down the stairs to the kitchen. "Hey mom what's up?" I said.  My mom looked at my brother and I " Who turned on the dishwasher?". I looked at my brother and he looked just as confused as me. I replied " I wish I did but I didn't...". My brother replied "Yeah, I came out here for a soda but I didn't touch it.". My mom looked shocked but soon told us she must have bumped it. I was skeptical about that because the dishwasher was ancient and the lever that you pull to the side was metal not to mention extremely hard to push. After the dishwasher dispute my mom started telling Connor and I to clean and I was stuck with cleaning the tubs and toilets. I got into the tub with my cleaning supplies and started to get to work. I felt a strong cold breeze in the bathroom and chills ran up my spine but I continued to work. The bathroom had no windows or vents so it was quite dark except for the dingy light on the mirror. A cold gust of wind made the shower curtain move towards me but I ignored it but I was slightly aggravated. Suddenly the wet plastic curtain wrapped around me suctioning to my face. I tried to move my arms to break free but they too were wrapped in the shower curtain. I gasped for air trying to scream but, all that came out was a vibrating muffled yell. I gasped as I heard knocks at the door asking if I was okay and I heard the click of the door locking from inside. I cried as I felt myself suffocating and everything went black. [Psst I'm not dead]
