Oli looks at me, her eyes wide with fear. She grabs my hand and we make our way out of the basement staircase.
We almost fall out of the door before bolting it shut behind us.
We hear another noise from above, almost getting more and more impatient.
I nod at Oli and we make our way out of the stale kitchen towards the main staircase.
I notice she grabs my hand really tightly for support. For once I do not let go. I squeeze her hand back to show her i am there.
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP
Something is getting really impatient now. I make my way slowly up the stairs.
The sound seems to be coming from the room at the end of the hallway.
The whole upper floor seems to be completely dark.
Exept..
I see a small light coming from the direction of the sound.
There is a small section of it coming from under the door.
I switch off my torch so as not to disturb who ever is in there.
"Hello??" Oli says loudly.
My heart skips a few beats from the sudden noise.
"Jeez Oli" I whisper.
"IF ANYONE IS HERE LET US KNOW AND WE WILL LEAVE" Oli shouts at the top of her lungs.
We both stand staring at the light.
Nothing.
"I PROMISE WE ARE JUST HERE TO EXPLORE WE CAN LEAVE" Olis voice booms out.
The light flickers in a wave of shadow as if someone walked past the door.
I gasp sharply, trying to keep down my dinner.
"JUST MAKE A NOISE AND WE WILL GO"
Nothing.
The light is the same.
"OKAY THEN WE WILL COME IN, LAST CHANCE"
A small shadow comes into view in the corner of the door.
Something is stood on the other side of this door.
Oli's hand is shaking vigorously in mine.
"WE ARE COMING IN THEN"
I gulp down my fear.
"we come in peace" I add in a voice so tiny even Oli doesn't hear it.
I try to let her know we should say that but she doesn't get the message.
Crap.
Anything could happen now.
Oli steps towards the door, dragging me with her.
Her other hand finds my other hand and she passes me her torch so she has a free hand.
She reaches up a shaking hand and rests it on the door.
The house is silent.
My ears start to ring.
I strain to hear anything.
Nothing.
Oli jerks her hand to the left and the door knob unlocks with a soft click.
She shoves the door open and recoils her hand.
I tear my head up, afraid of what i will see....
