Strangers Of The Night

ATTIC

THE ATTIC

Mom I'm bored" muttered Brisa

"well then go get Emilio and go upstairs and look around in the attic!" shouted mom "the owner said that the attic was the only part that he didn't check when he was cleaning the house. Brisa went and fetched Emilio and chickened and full of fear they went on to explore the attic just as mom had told them too.

"Brisa why did you get me into this mess?" asked Emilio

They entered the bathroom and reached to open the door for the attic. The knob stuck at first but then it clicked. Full of wonder Emilio shoved Brisa to the side and leaped into the attic.

It was damp in there as they stepped the floor board creaked like in an old house. Well what could one say it was an old house you could tell by the looks of it. The walls were rustic with fading green and brown wallpaper. The window was in the far corner of the attic. It looked like this place used to be a mentally-ill persons killing house., there were pictures of body structures pinned on a corkboard. There was a table with belts around it and a wall with axes and knifes. If that wasn't scary enough Emilio walked closer to the axes and knifes and yelled for Brisa she came running over.

"Emilio what in the blazes is that she shouted?"

"to be honest Brisa it looks like" whispered Emilio.

"don't say it" said Brisa

"blood?" muttered Emilio

Brisa was spooked out and she started to back away and she fell into a cedar chest. Emilio rushed to help her out. He pulled her out amongst the newspaper clippings that came out with her. He gazed over the cedar chest and found the whole chest was full of clippings of child murders, abductions, serial killers, suspects. It was strange it was all children that were twins. Emilio closed the chest and tried pushing it toward the door to bring it downstairs in his room. He was going to read all of it and try to piece things together. It was so heavy as if they were trying to drag a body. He had to have Brisa to help him. So, they both begin to push it and it wouldn't move anywhere. So, they thought it was nailed to the floor like everything else up here. Brisa pulled out her phone to turn on the flashlight. The light up there was dim anyways you could barely see anything. She walked around the chest and noticed that there was blanket maybe even a heavy sheet hooked almost attached to the back of it. And onto the wall. She grabbed hold of it and pulled it down hard.

"Emilio you might want to come over here" uttered Brisa

"yeah not before you see what I found over here" he whispered

"there's another door here, and what's with all the mirrors in this house?" questioned Brisa

"yeah, well what's with all these scary looking disfigured dolls? There mouths are all sewn shut. And their eyes cut out" answered Emilio

Then the room got cold the lights started to go flashing. A shadow appeared right in front of Brisa saying to move closer to the mirror. Emilio turned toward Brisa they both glanced at each other with a terrifying fear in their eyes.

Brisa yelled "run"

Emilio yelled "I'm not a coward but I'm going to run"

They never ran so fast, there legs were moving faster than their upper body could keep up. Boom the door slammed shut the lights went out. They were banging trying to get it open nothing was working. They looked over their shoulders and seen what looked to be figure approaching them with rapid steps. The eyes were deep windows to the soul. Frightened they both grabbed ahold of the handle and turned pulling with everything they had. The door clicked open just as the arm reached out to grab Emilio's shirt. He slammed the door. They ran to Emilio's room closeted his door and locked it. They were almost out of breath.

"okay let's act like that really didn't just happen. Please tell me we are dreaming. A bad dream. No, a nightmare and were going to wake up right now." Yelled Brisa

"I wish it was I don't know what's going on, but this place is whack and we need to get out of here. I'm going to see if I can search some information out this house said Emilio

"I feel like I'm in some kind of horror movie gone terribly wrong Emilio" shouted Brisa

"I know right more like the Adams family but seriously no time to be making jokes we almost just died" answered Emilio

They caught there breathe. Agreed not to say anything to anyone. Mom was downstairs yelling for help, so they opened the door and headed down to help.
