the blood trail

Chapter 2: Finding John

After I got over the fact that Molly lied to me, I got more serious about finding John. It was scary not having Molly on my side to help me out around this house, but now since I think about it Molly was never on my side. As I try my best to get all the thoughts all Molly out my head, I keep walking.

All I can think about is finding John and getting out this house. After walking for 10 minutes the trail leads into a room, this room is odd looking. The walls were painted this light creamy color and there were words written all over them. I try to read the words but they were to small and the room was to dark. So I decide to leave the room but then on my way out I see the name John appear on the walls in bigger writing. I walk over to the wall and as I get closer another note appears.

" Lily hey its John, Im sorry I left you! You need to leave this house. Forget about me, save yourself. They are going to kill me in 70 hours. You do not have much time, I do not want you to be here when they kill me. I know what your thinking, there is no way your leaving me. If you are that serious about finding me, im locked in a closet that is slowing filling up with water! Help me, if you want.If not I completely understand. Well this is the only note they are going to let me write so bye, I guess. "

I just sit down there I am and think, why would John just want me to leave him? I finally just come to the conclusion that he is just worried about me. I stand back up and fold the note and put it in my pocket incase this is the last thing I get from John. Back to walking the trail and hope it leads to John.

The one thing I do not understand is that, John said he is in a closet. I have not seen one door that leads anywhere. This trail is just taking me up and down hallways and stairs. Maybe the trail is a trick from Molly so I never find John and she can kill him! I must leave this trail and walk my own way and thats just what I do.

I have been walking my own way for about 1 hour. I feel like im just walking in circles. To make things worse there is this horrible thunder storm. As if things were creepy enough, now there is loud thunder and bright lightening. That needs to be the leased of my worries because I need to figure what closet John is in. So I sit down and think at any time did I see a door, then it hits me. When John first left me I heard a noise, it sounded like it was under me. Which is weird because we were on the first floor, thats when I start to think, maybe this house has a basement that has a closet!

I rush up to my feet and run to the nearest stair case I can find. When I arrive on the first floor, I cover every square inch of the floor. No door, there was no door or stairs to the basement I thought this house had. Then I just happen to look down and I see a piece of the wooden floor was torn up. I get down on my knees and pull the rest of the broken wood around it. Soon enough I uncover a trap door with a ladder. At first I was to scared to go down the ladder but I knew there was a high possible that John could be at the bottom of the ladder, so I go down.

When I finally reach the bottom, Im in a very dark room. Not like the rest of the houses darkest but this was different. I could hear what sounded like flowing water than I remember that John said he was trapped in a room filling up with water. So I yell at the top of my lungs, " JOHN!? "

" Lily? " John yelled back

" Oh my gosh, John were are you? "

" HAHA that was to funny. " said John, or so I thought it was John

" what? " I say

" I got you good, you thought it was that easy to find him?" said Molly

" Molly this is not funny please help me "

" I know it is not funny, it was not funny when I was the one being killed either but no one helped me so why would I help you save John? "

" Molly, Im so sorry about what happened to you but I did not kill you and neither did John so killing us is not the right thing to do. So please just help me! "

" You have 68 more hours, you better hurry! " said molly as her voice disappears.

Now Im even more scared and confused because Molly can make her voice sound like Johns. What do I do, I think. Is John even down here? Or was that Molly trying to trick me again!? This made my decision even more of a challenge. Will I ever find John. Just when I'm about to give up hope, I hear something. It sounds just like John. I'm still in the basement and I still hear the flowing water. So I walking to where I hear the water and quietly say " John, are you here, if you are please give me a sign." I wait for a sign

" Lily, yes it's me " says John

" John where are you? " I ask

" I'm in a closet like I said in the note and please hurry the water is up to my hips. " John said sounding worried

" I can't see anything, I don't see a door." I reply

" There is no door, you have to push the wall in on the left and behind it is the closet! "

" Ok, I'm looking, hang in there "

I start running around the basement pushing on all the walls. I start to worry when nothing it working. I push on the walls high and low! Nothing is happening! I punch the wall to hear if any spot is hollow. Finally I punch a whole in the wall! A flash of excitement goes through my body! I hear the water flowing more heavily now! Which means I must be close!

" John I think I'm in the closet! " I yell

" Yeah I can hear you better now " John answers

" wait I see you!! " I yell even louder

" Ok I see you to! Please come get me out of here because they water is up to my neck. " John said sounding kind of excited that I found him

" Ok I'm coming " I tell him

Once I reach John I untie him and get him out the closet just in time. John and I climb back up the ladder to try and escape the house. I tell John everything that has happened and about Molly.

By now I was thinking this nightmare was over, but I soon learned this was only the beginning.
