She's Back

Chapter 6 - The dead man in the basement

For the rest of the night we all just sat around the tv and watched reruns of old loony toons episodes. When we all got hungry we ordered pizza.

"Hey Ellie?wheres your parents at?"Asked Ashter

"Hell If I know where they're at,I just gave up" I replied

Before he could say another word a phone goes off. Knots pulled it out of his pocket and started to talk. He then looked in my direction giving me a gaze that it's time to go. I give a nod showing I understand. I get up and walk up stairs.

I quickly change into a white tube top that is tucked into a pair of distressed jeans. I grab my jacket and put on my boots. I tie my hair into a high pony tail and head down stairs.

"Alright Knots lets go" I say as I walked pass them towards the door as they stared at me.

Knots soon follows behind me smirking at the other as we leave. They give him glares and we're out the door.

As I start the car he suddenly places a hand on my thigh. I look at him and he continues to look forward paying no mind to my stare. I move my leg so that his hand falls on the seat. He says nothing and the ride is silent until we get to the house. We pull up to see Tyler standing outside waiting for us and the other kids name I'd forgotten. We step out and the new kid can't seem to keep his mouth closed.

"Hey Heart"yelled Knots as he tosses my shiny silver pistol at me before we enter.

"What are you looking at, we have business to tend to. So close that mouth of yours before I knock the teeth out" I said as I walked pass them in the doorway.

Knots followed me down to the lower levels to were we do our little business. It was a small hallway that had four doors on either side. It was dimly lit and seemed spooky to people that had never been down there.

Passing different doors you could hear banging sounds and then screams of pain following right after. It was hard for me to hear, but it wasn't the most terrifying thing I've ever heard.

We open the door to see a tall man about a few years older than us sitting tied to a chair. His face was bruised and beaten to the point where his left eye was swollen shut. There was tape over his mouth to muffle the screams. Blood dropped on the floor making a puddle around him. His clothes torn and dirty. He groaned in pain as we entered. We take the tape off of his mouth and he slowly breaths.

"Please... help me" He said lowly

"No can do buddy" Said Knots waltzing around him as I stood at a wall waiting.

"Please" he begged

"Hahah no can do amigo, you see the reason your here is because you've killed one of our dear friends" he said as he places his hands on his hips and gives him a joker smile.

The guys eyes widen with fear and he gulps and fidgets to move away. Knots and I wore matching sets of rings. Our thumb was a chain like ring in silver, pointer was a solid silver band with a black engraving on it. Ring finger was a matte black ring that had a diamond shaped in it. And pinky was a dragon shaped into a ring.

The day we got them was a day to remember. We had just met and we were kind of shy towards each other. We went around the peer in the town looking around and we started to get to know each other. It was really easy to talk to him and know him. He was nice and sweet and caring. He understood if I didn't want to do this with him. But I couldn't let him down like that and so I agreed. At first, we needed our grandpa's help with the leading thing. But when I go the hold of it we took off. The first day we met, we bought each other these rings to symbolize the loyalty and bond between us. The personal oath we took after we both agreed to our grandparents about this.
