"Where will we go?", I asked.
"Anywhere that's not there is fine", my brother said.
We lived in hell and no longer could deal with it, and I just wanted to getaway. I was very scared. My brother said that he could get us to safety before they could find us, but I was doubting him.
"I know there are houses near, if we can find one, we can stay the night", he said with a reassuring voice.
"I understand you're hopeful, but it's so dark", I said.
"I'm serious there are houses", he said. "Are you sure?", I asked.
"Yes, there are", he said.
"I don't know about that. I mean, we're in the middle of the woods, we've been here for hours, I'm scared", I said.
"You've mentioned that", he said, "Just leave this to me".
We walked for a while more until we found a dusty old house.
"A house", I yelled.
"What did I tell you", he laughed, "And you didn't believe me".
We went inside, the door creaked open. "Good day", an old lady said.
"Oh, sorry", my brother said, "We just needed a place to stay".
"That's okay", she said, "Upstairs is your quarters".
"Quarters?", I asked.
"Yes," she laughed, "We get a lot of visitors".
We walked up the creaky stairs. We saw cobwebs hiding in the dark, obscure corners. We saw two identical doors. I finally had my room. The rooms had dead bodies and blood. I screamed.
"You're next", the woman said, grinning.
