John..? John..? Where are you? Lily please be quiet they will hear you! Who? Who will hear me? Lily listen said john, this house is different in ways you would not understand. Stay here, I'll be back. John no please, don't leave me! Lily I promise I'll be back for you!

As I sit for what feels like hours in the dark room I start to think. What did John mean this house is different? Just thinking about it scares me to the point were I can't take one for minute just sitting here. I have to find the way out this house. I finally start to get up when I hear what seems to sound like a little girl crying and moaning for help. Hello? Whose there? "Help me" I here again. I walk over to were I hear the voice. Hello? My name is Lily. What about you. I say trying to sound calm. " turn around" the voice answers. I take a deep breath and turn around to see a trail of blood. I began to freak out! Follow it the little girl says. But.. I wanna know who are you! The mysterious voice again says follow it. So I follow the blood up the stairs and all over the house. Hello? I say. Im tired of following the blood. So you understand now, says the girl. Understand what, I ask. You are trapped in here just like I was. Now they are coming for you! I stand there in shock, who? Who is coming! The voice answers, the same people who killed me..

I have to focus so I keep following the trail of blood like the voice told me. I soon notice im in parts of the house I didn't know existed. I keep walking and never look back, til something stops me in my tracks. I see what looks like to be a note. I pick it up and start to read it; " good job, you found this note. Now this is very important, the people have John! he needs your help before they kill him. Please be careful because the people who have John they really want you. I do not want to alarm you but you need to get out this house as fast as you can. It maybe to late for John but its not for you! By the way I'm Molly.

I drop the note and run. Why i think! Why would Molly tell me to leave John? I Can not do that. John told me he would be back and I still believe him. John is like a brother to me so no im not leaving him behind, I have to find him.

" Molly, I need to talk to you about the note" I yell!

" What about it Lily? " Molly answers

" I wont leave John, so can you please help me find him? " I ask

" I will make no promise to you "

" Thanks anyway Molly! "

The trail keeps going and of course I keep following it. I have been walking for at least 2 hours. No sign of John so I start to worry. What if he never comes back? what if they kill him? Should I leave him like Molly said? All of these questions swarm my mind while Im walking beside the trail.

Finally I get so tired I can not walk anymore! I need to rest. So I go sit down in the nearest corner I can actually see through the darkness. Every time I closed my eyes, I could hear a noise. I tried my best to just ignore it but it was just to loud.

" Molly, Im scared I do not know what to do. Should I keep looking for John or try to save myself because at this point I have given up all hope of finding him! "

" Only you know what to do, I know you will make the right decision, now you need to get some sleep you have a lot of walking ahead of you tomorrow "

" Thanks Molly, At least you will always be here for me "

The next morning I kinda wake up. I did not sleep much that night, I was to worried about John and what could be happening to him right this minute. I get up and look for the trail. Its gone!! The trail is not there.

" Molly were is the trail? " I yell

" I took it away so you can not run while I tell you my plan "

" Whats are you talking about "

" Since you and John first walked into this house, I have been planning for yall to be killed like I was "

" Molly please do not do this to me! Wait, you know where John is? "

" Of course I know where John is "

" Please tell me "

" No you have 72 hours to find him or I kill him, Now I will put the trail back for only 72 more hours. "

I start to shake and cry! I can not even remeber what the point of coming in this house was. I put all thoughts behind me and keep walking. I know what I have to do. I have to find John.
