The House of The Dead

CHAPTER 2

THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD

He didn't say anything and went back to his room. We didn't think much of it and started telling ghost stories. It was nearing midnight when we went back to sleep. John was too tired and sleepy to go back hence he settled for the sofa in our room.

Morning

By the time we woke up it was already 10 o'clock. We had to change our plan a little but it was manageable.We freshened up, went to the dining room,ate breakfast and gathered in the hall.It was then that we noticed that we haven't seen Tim till now. It was at that moment that we noticed that the house was too quite . Suddenly a creaking sound came from behind, we turned and saw that it was the door opening.Tim was standing behind the door looking at us.We ran towards him and hugged Don't know if it was cause of last night or what but I felt really creeped out. Nothing happened but still I had a bad feeling .I suddenly did not want to go to the haunted house or as the rumours say the house of dead.

There is actually a story behind it but it is a long one.In short it is said anyone who had gone inside dies within a week.But everyone thinks that it is not true and is only a rumor.

"Stella come on, we have to go"Said John

"Comming"

"So where are we going first?"

"we will check out the haunted house first." This time it was Anna who spoke.

"Ok,let's go then"

Haunted House

It was located far away,on the outskirts of the village and we were in the central part hence we hurried there . The house was big and very beautiful.It was lovely yet I had a feeling that it was hiding many things, things beyond common sense , things that even science can't explain. It was a feeling that I could not ignore.

"Stella"

" Stella what happened?" my brother asked

"Nothing" I said

We didn't go inside and decided that we will gather here in evening at 5 o'clock.

Me and Anna decided to form a team and go our own way. The boys also agreed quickly.

We separated and went in different directions. The day passed by very quickly. By the time I knew it, it was already evening and we started walking towards the haunted house .

By the time we reached, the boys were already waiting for us. We shared the information with each other and set of towards the haunted house.

When we entered the courtyard, we saw a group of people already standing there. They quickly noticed us . I could feel their gazes on us. They were filled with hostility towards the new group, our group. I didn't know who they were or why they were here but I was certain that they were dangerous, very dangerous.

It was at that moment that someone from there group came over, very likely their captain or leader. He asked ”Kids , what are you doing here?”My brother replied “None of your busin-”.Sudenly Anna cut him saying,“Brother James, it's me Anna.” It shocked me 'they knew each other 'i though.

Their captain, James didn't bother with us anymore and started talking with Anna. He said,“oh , Anna it's you "“what are you doing here, do you know how dangerous it is?”He seemed angry. Anna told him about our plan then he glanced our. I felt he was checking who came up with the plan. His gaze was to naked that it was uncomfortable . I turned my head . I think he sensed it to cause he didn't turn towards us even once afterwards.

After some time, Anna walked toward us.I sensed the atmosphere eased up a little after their talk. Anna also explained to us about their situation. Her brother James was a government employee. There have been many complaints about this house and they came to check it out. They had entered just before us.

They were a five member team. One girl and four boys.

Their names were Sofia, Blake, Luke and Kevin. We introduced ourselves to each other and then entered the house. Just as we entered, the door suddenly closed behind us. We were shocked but calmed down quickly as we thought that it was the wind. At the same time a bad feeling arose. I felt something was wrong but couldn't put a finger on it. I was walking around checking the situation and noticed there was one less person.

Tim was missing. I called my friends, asked them about Tim and the response I got was,“Wasn't he with you?”
