All I Could Do..

The House..

(Dan's POV)

I pull up to the house that the tracker claims her to be at. I step out of my car and stare at the creepy house. "Can you honestly get anymore sketchy?" I mumble running up to the front door. I try to open it but it doesn't work. "Come on!" I say and decide to find a different way to get in. As I'm walking to the back of the house I notice blood splatters all over the side of the "house".

"What the actual fuck." I mumble as a I see a sign written in what I'm guessing is blood that said "Come on In :)". That better not be Jemma's blood I swear.. I go to open the door, but again it doesn't budge. That's it. I walk backwards and charge at the door, kicking it open. I cautiously step inside the house. Automatically I could smell blood, and  I scrunch up my nose in disgust.

"Jemma!" I call out but hear nothing. I open a door, to see what looked to be a library. "Jem!" I call out but hear again, nothing. I notice a note on the table, and walk over to it, picking it up.

-Penelope-
-Chad-
-Dalila-
Jemma

The top names were crosses out.. Which means Jemma's next? I drop the piece of paper and run out of the library thing, determined to find my wife, and get her home safe. I open a door next to it, which seemed to lead to a basement. "Jem! Are you down there!" I yell hoping I don't have to go down there. I'm not too fond of the dark.

Suddenly I hear what sounded like a muffled scream, and I jog down the stairs, hoping to find her and get out. Once I get down there, I find a light switch and turn it on. Sure enough there was Jemma, in what looked to be a giant cage. She had duct tape around her mouth and her hands tied together.

"Jem!" I say running over. She looks up at me, and I could see the tears in her eyes. "Jem, I'm gonna get you out of here okay? Stay strong." I say and she nods. I try to open it but realize I need a key. "Do you have any idea where a key is, Love? Have you seen anyone have one or one laying around?" I ask her and she shakes her head no.

"I'm gonna find one, I'll be back to get you out." I say not wanting to leave her here, but I know that if I stay here with her, I'll never get her out of here. I look around the basement first but find nothing except a knife which I happily took for protection. I go back upstairs, leaving the light on for Jem so she's not in the dark. I quietly close the door, and see a staircase. Maybe its up there?

As I'm walking up it, a little kid appears in front of me. "Looking for this Daniel?" He says holding up a key. I nod my head and he smirks. "Then come and get it." He says running off. "Wait! I need that!" I yell and run up the stairs, following the way the kid went, and to be stopped by a wall. "How..." I mumble and press against the wall and it lifts up. "Huh." I mumble and crawl underneath and into a crawl space. "Hey you little brat! I need that key!" I yell getting impatient as I crawl through this tiny crawl space probably meant for a five year old.

Once I get to the end of it, I jump out and realize I'm in the library again. I see something shiny, and run over to it. The key! I grab it, and run out and into the basement. I notice that Jem was now asleep and I felt bad. I try to use the key on the cage thing but it doesn't work. It needs a skeleton key. I throw the key and sigh in annoyance. I just wanna get her out if this stupid house. Safe, and alive.
