I walked from the Cafe to the candy shop.I stop at the front door of the shop. The shop was scarier than with my friends who did not pay any attention. Who needs them anyways, I think. I am going to figure this whole situation out. I am going to figure out what he was and why he was here. I was going to figure out Xander's murder. If it is the last thing I do, I will figure it all out.
I reach to open the front door which had a closed sign on it that I did not notice.Damn, it's closed...
I do not want to but I need to break in.
I sneak to the back of the building and start to pull some bricks to the wall out. I caught Gretel doing this one day when she lost the keys to the shop.
When the space was big enough for me to crawl into, I stick my head in first and I look to see if there is anything where I am going to drop. When I see nothing, thankfully, I jump down. I turned on the flashlight on my phone to see where I am going. It had been years since I've been down here with Gretel that day. I walk along the wall until I reach another. Until I end up feet away from a door. I have never seen a door down here. I shine my flashlight at it. To my shock, it had twenty locks at least. I look and find that the locks were unlocked which allowed me to see what was inside. I saw nothing but darkness, at first. I turn around and crunched something. I look down to see a bone. I flash my flashlight around and I find a huge pile of animal bones. A shiver shoots up my spine at the sigh of some human skulls that with the bones. I quickly run to the opening and try to climb up when I hear steps. It was right above the trapdoor. I hear keys jingle until the trap door opens up. More bones are thrown down. Not wanting to be his next victim, I scramble to get away but I cannot. My friends have always been there to help me. But not this time.
I fiercely jump up again with determination and get my hands onto the ledge. I scramble my legs to get up but I could not get them up. They have to though because any minute now the man will be coming down.
I cannot die here and now. I know the man was insane now but I curse myself for being fooled by his good looks.I manage to get a leg up on the ledge of the secret door. I have never been so scared in my life. I felt something nudge my hand which knocked it off. I look up and saw a husky sniffing me. My other hand was about to slip when something grabbed it... No, someone grabbed it. I look up to see who but my hair was in my eyes. The man throws more bones in as I haul out.
I look up to see Henry closing the door.
“You think I didn't see the marks on the floor? You think I did not the blood the man? Well, you are dead wrong because I did notice everything. I also noticed that you could have been caught and killed. He is nothing like you and me, Kandy. He is nothing like us." Henry says with a little tremble in his voice like I was trembling in fear. I can never unsee what I saw in there. Never in a million years.
“There's something you should know." I say to him shakily.
Henry takes me by my arm, "Let's get out of here first."
Making out get away, he whispers, "Now, what did you see?"
I saw something that can never be unseen. I saw a murderer, I saw the bones of animals, including humans. I saw my self escape death by a hair. Literally I did. If you weren't there for me I would've died. But hey, what's up with that husky?" I asked.
"I don't know what your talking about. There was no husky." Henry said.
“I know what I saw and I saw a husky.”
“No one sees the husky around here” argues Henry.
