The White Chronicle

Chapter 1: A summer vacation.

Sunshine gleam upon the gloomy room of Jasmine. She was waken up by the birds chirping by her window and the smell of bacon filled the room. Jasmine opens her eyes and thought to herself how she will see this summer vacation to the fullest; adventures with grandpa and grandma by the river, or swimming with mom and dad at the beach or just chilling in this big mansion of her grandparents filled with cool stuff in it. 

Slow and sleepy, yet she pulls her legged and stretch her arms to get out of bed. She is excited to start the day; of course, every kid is excited to start their summer vacation.

She readies herself and ran out the room. A loud creaking sound is heard when she steps on the old wooden floors of this mansion. She always visits her grandparents every summer vacation but this is the first time she heard cracks on the floor. 

Jasmine thought she is getting heavier since she is getting bigger every year; a 10 year old girl won't break this wooden floor but running might so she carefully walk not to destroy any floors.

Grandpa Rudy is by the stairs on his rocking chair and while reading his newspaper. Jasmine sees this opportunity to give his grandpa a good scare. 

She walks to him slowly on her tip toe maneuver. She walks with cat like agility and readies herself to give her grandpa a scare. Then suddenly the floor creaks and his grandpa laugh.

"Jasmine, you really think you can catch up to me like that? I already heard the creaking sounds when you left your room." said Grandpa Rudy as he puts down his newspaper in his lap.

"Argh! No fair. The floors gave me away." said Jasmine while pouts then she turned into a smile and hugged her grandpa. "Missed you and Grandma Rose! We should go for a fishing trip to day!"

"Ah. Yes, we shall Jasmine but first change your clothes. You are not a young girl anymore. You're a lady. Please change to your clothes and let's eat down stairs." her grandpa frown his one brow while eyeing her with her pajamas on.

She suddenly realized she hasn't changed her clothes. She woke up in a hurry and haven't even change into her everyday clothes. 

She hastily runs to her room and get changed into her red shirt and blue shorts. As she runs toward the exit, her left foot fell though the floor. She panic and tries to pull her leg out but to no avail.

She isn't  in any pain but she feels something stings her foot underneath the wooden floor.

"Grandpa! My leg is stuck at the floor! Help!" she cries on the top of her lungs. She was afraid that underneath the wooden floor is some old rusty nail pierced her foot and imagined she might get infected and later needs to be admitted to the hospital. She was scared that this rusted nail will cause her this summer vacation. 

She tries her best to pull her leg out while screaming for help. The door was not lock and it isn't big enough to suppress the sound of her voice, especially on this old wooden house. She tried her best to yank her foot of the floor but the cracks on the floor got bigger.

She panics and saw the floor underneath her was beginning to give way. She screams and screams but her grandpa didn't come to the rescue. Not even her parents or grandma heard her. It was silent. 

She stopped screaming and tried to listen. Only the rustling of the leaves outside the window is heard but not a sound from her folks. She also realized the smell of bacon is gone. Then the floor gave way and she fell through a hole.

She screamed and her flail her arms in the air while she falls through a bottomless hole. The last thing on her mind was the summer vacation. Only fear of dying from falling is in her mind. Then a flash of violet light filled the bottomless hole and she saw another kid falling with her.
