DARK HOURS
CHAPTER 5
After re-ading out the words on the paper, Violet sat on the floor
weakly. What the hell was she looking for here in the first place,
oh yes money. Greediness had brou-ght her here after everything
her parents had taught her never to be covetous but look at her
now. She knelt down and clasped her hands together then closed
her eyes. “Father lord plea-se let all of us survive this deadly
encounter and I promise I will never sin against you again” She
said and broke down to tears. Tyler helped her get up and
brou-ght her head to his che-st. “It’s okay violet, I won’t let anything
happen to you” He said in a promising tone, somehow he felt
protective of this lady. Stanley watched the whole scene between
Tyler and Violet, he wondered if Tyler was a kind of supernatural
guy because he looked like he was re-ady to ki|| himself for Violet
even when they were not d@t!ng, he wouldn’t even ki|| himself for
Angel. Right now everyone should be re-ady to fight for his or
herself especially when it’s only one that will survive this evil
house.
“What’s the most darkest place in this house” Franklin asked.
Angel scoffed at the question, even if Franklin knew the darkest
place of the house, he won’t go. She had seen him pee on his
b©dy, he was also a scaredy cat. “The basement” Tyler replied
him and Franklin swallowed.
“The..the…the Base..basement” He said and scratched his hair..
“We have to find the key to the padlock so let’s go” Tyler said and
headed to the basement but Stanley held him back.
“What happens when we find the key to the padlock, what of the
security code who will die for us to bring that, will you die, will I
die, will Angel or violet or Franklin die, just tell me who will die” He
asked. Tyler re-moved his hands from his and turned back to fully
face him..
“Let’s hope it doesn’t get to that” He said and turned back to walk
to the basement, taking violet hands. The rest followed him to the
basement since they had no other choice…
The basement was indeed dark and they could h@rdly see
anything so how where they going to find the key. “We have to
look around and search for this key, and all of us staying together
won’t help us” Stanley said… “No the only way we can find the
key alive and unhurt is to stay together” Tyler said. “I think Tyler is
right” Angel said earning a glare from Stanley. She caught his eyes
but didn’t care, she’ll rather stay alive and become single forever
than die because of a relationsh!p..
“I say we should search the surroundings first, then we go to
other areas” Franklin suggested and they all agreed.
The woman looked at them as they walked around her basement,
she was in a corner smiling at them but they couldn’t see her.
They searched everywhere, un-der the tables, behind the crates
but the key was no where to be found. Violet noticed something
in the picture frame in front of her, when she walked inside the
basement, there was no lady in the picture smiling evilly and
holding a knife but now there was.
“Come child” She heard the voice from the frame. She ignored the
voice and stepped back but then walked to it again.
“Come on, take a step closer” The voice said again and Violet
walked to the frame bringing out her hands to t©uçh it. Suddenly
a f0rç£ pushes her back to a distance hitting her head on the wall.
“Violet” Tyler called and walked to her, he st©pped when she
started vibr@ting vigorously on the floor. “What’s happening to
her” Angel yelled crying.
“Violet??” Tyler said questioningly. He reached for her but she
opened her eyes wi-dely and in a weird manner. She looked
possessed as a f0rç£ lifts her up and her hair stands up. Everyone
looks up at her.
“YOU THINK YOU CAN SURVIVE, I’LL ki|| ALL OF YOU AND YOU
CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, YOU ALL WOULD DIE EXCEPT
ONE OF YOU, I HAVE ki||ED TWO ALre-adY, FOUR MORE TO
GO” Violet said but not violet’s voice. A maniac laughter followed it
and soon violet dropped to the ground. Tyler rushes to her and
she gains consciousness slowly although she’s alre-ady bleeding
from the nose. He notices something in her hand, he re-moved
her f!ngersslowly and opened them to see the key lieing on her
hand. He picked it up and smiled. “You did it violet, you found the
key” Tyler said and smiled at Violet who also reciprocated the
smile. Stanley looked at them irritated, is this the time to pla-y
Romeo and Juliet, look at how they are looking at each other like
husband and wife who just had their first child. Angel noticed the
bitter look on Stanley’s face, so she cleared her throat and Tyler
and Violet stood up. They stood up and headed for the main door
but another problem appeared in front of them when they saw
that the basement was locked.
ONE OF YOU WOULD DIE BEFORE THE DOOR OPENS was what
was written on the door. The woman laughed and walked past
them quic-kly. They all looked back but couldn’t see anyb©dy..
Everyone climbe-d down the steps looking defeated. “Guys there’s
a key to the basement, we can find it and open the basement
without any b©dy dieing” Franklin said. Although everyone knew
someone would still die, they still decided to search for the key
with hope though Stanley was losing patience.
Stanley bent down behind the crates looking for the key he knows
he wouldn’t never find, he puts his hands un-der the crates and
noticed something sharp. He brings it out and sees that it is a
knife.
“One of us would die for the basement door to open, I wouldn’t
be the one to die” He thought to himself. “Would it be Angel… No,
she’s my girlfriend, what of Franklin….No he may be the one to
die for the Security code..what of Tyler no he’s very useful and
he’s the only one with the mark…then Violet..yes violet she’s very
useless and should have died since ” He thought to himself and
stood up.
“Violet” He called and she answered.
“plea-se come help me over here” He said and she walked to his
direction. He bent down and hid the knife..
TBC.
