It Once Happened With Me

Chapter 8

Amelia's pov

I was walking and walking when i heard the footsteps, i stopped. My heart was beating faster. The footsteps became nearer and nearer, the sound was getting more by more, i was getting scared, so i turned back and saw Charlie.

I faint off, and when i opened my eyes, I saw that i was lying on the road. I got up and dusted myself. I was feeling very cold and I didn't know where I was. So i started walking and after sometime a found a house.

  As I stood inside, gazing at the dilapidated house. I shivered, as though, ice had replaced my spine. The cold air enveloped the entire body. The multiple layer of clothing could not protect against the deathly cold. The walkway leading up to house were cracked. Weeds and dandelions poked out from these cracks. Red roses grown wildly in thick batches by the gate. The moonlight cast a ghoulish glow on the house. Vines formed a twisted maze upon the side of house, reaching their tentacles towards the roof. The house's walls showed black decay by neglect. Splotches of original paint hinted at the house former prosperity. Cobwebs covered the corners of the doors, tiny black spiders threading towards their prey.

The door begrudgingly creaked open. A musty, dank order creep into my nose. The house was dead silence except for the intermittent creaks and moans. Black and brown mold dotted the ceiling in clusters, evident of rain seeping through the roof. I quietly entered the dark living room. Windows covered with grime and dirt, the calm moonlight struggled to penetrate the darkness in thin thread rays. Sharp shadows roamed around the room. The sofa and chairs overturned revealing deep grooves on the ground where they used to sit. Wallpaper lay curled on the floor. A large jagged hole dug through the wall stood as though daring any to enter. Picture frames hanged off-centered. Sharp shadows roamed around the room. A misplaced grand bookcase stood the corner of the room, undisturbed for a long time.

I went to one of the room and started searching for clothes, food and water, but I din't get none of them. I went to another room and saw it was decorated beautifully, i liked the room so much.

But when i turned back and walked to go out, the door got locked and the lights went off.......
