The Girl In The Closet

Chapter 3

"Yes Lexi, a mental hospital" She said still not looking at me

"But why build a house here i mean you could-" Before I could finish my sentence my dad walked in the door

"Just keep this conversation between me and you" She said while walking upstairs.

"Mom?" I said

"Yes Lexi?"

"Can I go for a walk around the neighborhood?" I asked

"Sure" She replied while shutting the basement door and hugging my dad

"Heya Lexi where you off to?" My dad asked

"Just going for a walk" I said

"Okay well have fun and be back by seven thirty okay?" He said while patting my head

"Of course dad" I said while putting on a light white jacket and black runners then heading out the door.

In front of me was a road, a long long road that seemed to go on forever. On the right side were houses like ours and on the left side was a huge empty field with something far off in the distance so I decided to go to it.

It was foggy out and the grass was damp from the rain and with every step i took it seemed to get darker and darker. When i was at a close enough distance i realized it was a house... an old broken house that looked as though it had been burned down by a wildfire.

"Maybe that's why everything is dead around here" I said to myself while walking toward the door.

I put my hand on the doorknob, it felt like i was touching ice! I slowly turned the handle and the door loudly creaked open as i stepped inside.

The house was in horrible condition, there was moss and plants growing out of the floor and all the windows were boarded up with old wood and only cracks of sunlight came into the them,There was an old couch in the corner with marks all over it, an old broken looking staircase that seemed it could break at any minute and a clock that stopped ticking.  it smelled as though something died and had been left there for years, dust was everywhere, making it hard to see and the floorboards creaked from underneath me as i walked. I could have sworn i felt someone's presence as i stepped deeper into the house and over to the staircase in the corner.

Out of nowhere i felt cold air come across my back. I quickly turned around only to find that nothing was there.

"Ow" A voice said from behind me. I flipped back around and saw a tall girl standing behind me with dirty and messy black hair with violet streaks and a ripped black dress.

I opened my mouth to scream but she covered my mouth with her hand.

"Dont scream please" She said and slowly uncovered my mouth

"My name is Aya, and I live here" She said while facing me
