The Haunting of The Hawthorn Library

Chapter 10 The Secret Basement

I stayed up at the second floor for a while until I was certain the demon was gone.I crept down the stairs and peeked round the corner at where the demon was last.I saw nothing and I heard nothing so the demon was definitely gone (I think) so I ran past the reading room and turned to my left that's when I saw another door what I had not yet discovered so I opened it and the room behind it was hideous it was so under repair and awful looking but I stepped inside anyway and just as I did that I fell through the floor into a dark area I thought was the basement.I got my torch from my backpack and sure enough I was in the basement of the Hawthorn Library.I looked to my right and I saw ancient tombstones what probably used to mark the dead people who where buried here before the Hawthorn Library was built.As I walked on I started to notice that the basement was like the library itself but bigger it still had books and bookshelves that where probably taken down due to damage or maybe something more sinister.I poked my head round a corner and found a bathroom "why is there a bathroom here?"I frowned then I looked up and I noticed a sign saying employees only "oh so the employees came down here?"I said to myself  "weird I can't see why they would come do.."I paused I started hearing a weird banging shaking noise coming from one of the cubicles.I gripped my crowbar with my sweaty hands and in my head I was pleading please don't let it be the demon as I walked towards the cubicle the noise was coming from. I swung open the door and.....there was nothing "what?"I whispered to myself.I thought that there was now nothing to do here so I went to the entrance of the bathroom but the door was locked "time to use my crowbar"I said lifting my crowbar then I started slashing at the door but it didn't do anything "WHAT THE HELL!"I shouted in anger but then I put my hand over my mouth to shush myself because I heard another noise coming from one of the cubicles.I hesitantly turned round and walked to the cubicle and I peeked inside there was now a mangled old doll sitting on the leftover remains of the toilet I gave one look at the doll before I turned round in shock "that wasn't there before"I whimpered.I looked at the doll again but it had moved position its head was now turned backwards and facing the wall.I stared at the doll but just as I did so it turned its head towards me.I jumped back and screamed "OH MY GOD!"I pressed my hands up against the sinks and watched the doll come closer then unexpectedly its jaw dropped open and said"die!"in a dead kind of voice.The doll continued to come closer and with my hands behind my back I desperately fumbled about trying to find something to hit the doll.Luckily I found some rubble and I grabbed it and threw it as hard as I can at the doll and it instantaneously fell over with a crash on the floor.I decided to take some more rubble just in case I got attacked again.I walked over to the door and I again tried to open it this time it worked a little so I used my crowbar to open it up more and just as I stepped outside I saw something come towards me then everything faded to black.
