The babysitter

The babysitter

It was March 7th 2015, two parents were going to leave their daughter with a babysitter while they went out for dinner at a luxury restaurant. They hired a babysitter named Charlie, she was 17 years old and experienced. The young girl was named Ella and she was 9 years old.

At 6pm Charlie arrived at their big, modern house. The parents decided to leave but first they gave Charlie a little note of how things work in the house such as bedtimes and food.

"But don't worry, El is already in bed." said the father.

Ella wasn't too keen on being with a stranger in her own house, so that's why she went to bed early. The parents left and drove off in their BMW and left the two girls by themselves.

Charlie walked in and saw Ella on the couch, she must've came downstairs.

"So Ella, what do you want to do?" asked Charlie.

Ella walked off expecting Charlie to follow her and that's what Charlie did. Ella ended up at a door with rusty bolts on it attached to the walls. What was inside there?

"I want to go inside there. This specific door has been like this since we moved in. Whenever I ask my mother or father they make up some pathetic excuse of why I cannot go in there." demanded Ella.

She seemed so intelligent for her age... maybe because she is rich and 'posh'.

"I don't have a key to open it, I would if I could El." replied Charlie.

Ella walked off with a sulk, where was she going now? Charlie decided to let her do her own thing.

A few hours later..

Ella came into the kitchen and gave Charlie a key.

"I think this is it. You must open it for me or else." Ella said.

Charlie looked down at the key that was lying in her hand. Ella took Charlie's hand and led her over to the door. Charlie was nervous but wasn't showing her emotions at all.

"Do it." said Ella.

Charlie placed the key inside the hole and turned it.. it was just a basement... a dark basement.. really dark. Ella started walking down the creeky stairs into the dark.

"El come back here! You can't go down there alone."

Charlie knew something was down there. She snatched her phone out of her back pocket of her denim jeans and dialed Ella's parents' number.

"ITS ELLA, SHE HAS GONE DOWN TO YOUR BASEMENT!! I CAN'T SEE HER OR HEAR HER." screamed Charlie.

"Charlie? Our basement is locked. We have the key right now, there are no others. Last time we checked Ella was asleep in her bed, are you okay?" said El's mom.

Charlie sprinted upstairs to find Ella asleep in her bed. She ran downstairs but the door was locked. Charlie heard knocking, she turned around and on the window said..

'nice playing with you - friend'
