The Hallway Door

Going To The Crubilous House (part 5)

Lilian's Point Of View

I biked over to Grayson's house, since we were going to bike together to the Crubilous house. Also, I had to make sure that he had everything he needed. When I got to his house, I got a text.

Liam: We are here! Just waiting on you.

I had to respond, or else he would think something happened to us. We were taking a while anyway.

Lilian: Sorry, we are taking a while. Had to get Grayson's bag ready. Almost there! 😝

Okay. That looks good. I had finally gotten to his house. "Grayson!" I yelled at his front door. "We have to hurry!" I yelled again. I could hear foot steps rushing down. "I'm coming." I could hear him faintly say. He opened the door and saw me waiting for him. He nodded and showed me his bag full of my list. "Looks good! Come on, we have to hurry. Liam and Leni are already there." I said quickly. I grabbed his hand and ran him to his bike that was laying on the lawn. I put his bag and my bag in my bike basket and we went as fast as we could to the Crubilous House. Ding! Ding! I rang my bell as soon as I could see Liam and Leni. Leni was waving to me and Liam looked like he was texting someone.

Liam's Point Of View

I was busy texting Marissa, when I heard a bell ring. At that moment, I knew it was the super cute Lilian. I don't know what makes me have an interest in her, but dang she is cute. I shut off my phone and turned around. They were pretty close to me and she said, "Hey Liam! Ready to go?" I nodded and I nudged at Leni because she was frowning and I knew exactly why. We all walked up to the front door. Lilian was about to knock, but she paused. I gave her a look that said what's wrong? And she just stood there. Grayson looked over my shoulder and gave me the same look whats wrong? And I shook my head. Leni wasn't even paying attention, she was on her phone. By the time she shut it off, Lilian knocked on the door and I got a text. I didn't feel like checking it at the moment. Lilian took a few steps back. Lilian gave me a look that said in scared. I rubbed her back and she was feeling okay again.

Italics-Mr. Crubilous

He-Hello? He opened the door. I knew that he recognized us, but he remembered what we said earlier. Who are you? Why are you here? He asked in his raspy voice. "Hello, I am Lilian and these are my friends. Liam, Leni, and Grayson. We wanted to come and meet you. I live in the turquoise house over there." Lilian said while pointing to her house. Hmmm...I see. Well then, if you are going to stay, then I welcome you to my home. Come on in! In fact, I just made some tea. After he said tea he gave me a wink. I was confused, but Grayson and I had some sort of thought of what he meant. We walked in and Leni was scared, I could tell from the look on her face. The house was dark red and black, with the couch, pictures, chairs, and the cups that color too. You like the colors? I enjoy them so. Nice and plain... Okay, this is weird! "Nice and plain" Seriously? This guy is creepier then when Grayson and I went to meet him the first time.
