As the hot water belted onto my red face I heard mumbling filling the house coming from downstairs.
I stepped out and got dressed and made my way down stairs.
My cousin James, greeted me as I stood there in silence, giving a friendly nod.
"I think we need to come up with a plan." Stephanie said in a soft voice.
I shrugged as James replied
"Yes we should."
I stood there and said helplessly
"There is no point "
"There is every point" said Stephanie sternly.
We discussed things further and agreed to go back to 102 Delath Grove.
That was the only idea we came up with.
Without wasting any time we trekked through Delath, our helpless footsteps echoing behind us.
After 30 minutes of walking, There it was, 102 Delath road towering over us. James stepped onto the path first and knocked the door.
We waited anxiously as the brown worn door glared at us.
The door giggled from its hinges as it slowly opened. Standing there, in the crumbling doorway was a young girl, about 21. She was dressed very doll like, her chocolate brown hair hung in bunches as her big brown eyes stared into my soul.
Her long blue dress blew in the winter breeze as her blushed cheeks shimmered.
"Can I help you?" She asked, clearly forcing a smile on her pale pink lips.
"Where are my friend and my parents?" I asked sternly, glaring at the doll- like woman.
She forced the smile back onto her blushed face as she said
"Why don't you come in?" She suggested.
Before we could stop him, James stepped into the house and the door slammed suddenly behind him. Leaving me and Stephanie outside in the Darkness of Delath.
