Chapter 2
We stepped in. The floor boards creeked, the living room and kitchen were conjoined, no walls separated them. Spider Webs hung here and there, dust covered most of the belongings. "You know, we can get charged for breaking an entery." "What p**** ass cop is gonna come out here?" Jared said slighly. "Well I dont know, but if were gonna take the risk...lets take full advantage." I crossed over into the kitchen and noticed another figurine on the counter. "Hey babe check this out." I rubbed the dust away. "What is it?" I tossed it to em and pushed a strand hair out of my face kicked dirt on the hardwood floor. "Wow, whats with the no eyes angles?" "I dont know, weird huh?" "Fuck yea...hey babe, listen to this....(My beloved wife, oh how I long for you...my cruel and gruesome ways...but I do love you." "Damn...why is it that men can obly be romantic if they are lunatics or just plain nerds?" "I dont know..hmmm.....this shit is weird, I mean, what kind of man was he?" Jared shook his head and set the angel back on the counter. He came over to me and put his arm around my waist. "Lets see what for supper." I opened the fridge. We stepped back and held our noses. The odor was so bad, it could knock you down. "Damn...what is that." I pointed to the thing on the bottom shelf. "I dont know....he kneeled down and pulled out the large box. I kneeled next to him "Smells like corodded underwear." (Jared) We laughed. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a closed pocket knife, he flicked it open and cut around the edges of the box. "Holy Shit." I clenched his arm, there were maggots all over it. "Its....hair." He looked at me then picked up a peice of wood off the floor. "Babe...dont touch it." I squezzed his arm, "Chill babe, Im not the wood is." he picked it up with the piece of wood. We both screamed and fell back on our asses. I scooted close to him. "Ja...Jared...there was a scalp on it." "Babe cmon, were leaving." he kicked the box across the floor and helped me up. We headed for the door and turned the knob, but it wouldnt open. He pulled hard but it wouldnt budge. "Babe" I sighed and looked behind me. "Im trying." He put his foor on the wall and pulled once again, but still nothing. "Shit!" He hit the door with his fist. "Babe, did you notice there are no windows in this room." "Yea...were screwed." We exchanged glances then began to bang on the door. No one opened it or made the effort. "Cmon baby." He took my hand and lead me up the narrow staircase. About halfway up I felt the wood crack beneath me. The step I was standing on fell thru with about 3 other steps below it. I screamed and fell. Jared grbbed my hand. I kicked my legs searching for something to stand on...but nothing was under me. I looked down, nothing but blackness, I couldnt even see my legs. My heart raced. "PULL ME UP!" I paniced. "IM TRYING!" I heard the stairs cracking under him. "Jared....dont let go." My heard pounded faster and I had tears in my eyes. His eyes connected with mine. "I wont." I felt something hit my leg "Hurry." Tears ran down my face. It was scratching at my pant leg. He jerked me out and up to the top of the stairs. He put his arms tight around me. "You ok baby." he pushed the hair out of my face. "Yea Im fine..." I slid my hands over his shoulders and let him hold me. My whole body was shaking. He kissed my nose and helped me up. "Cmon, we need to get out of here. We went into the first bedroom on the right. It was pretty bare except for the bed and dresser. Jared immediatley ran over to the window and tried to get it open. It was the only window not busted out in the whole entire house. I heard a faint banging noise coming from the closet. I slowly made my way over to it. "What are you doing?" Jared looked at me curiously. "Theres something in there." I put my hand on the knob, I swallowed hard and pulled the door open. I screamed as the rats ran across my feet. Jared pulled me away from the closet. "Cmon....window wont open." "Wait....do you here that." "Here what?" "Ssshh listen." I kneeled down and put my ear to the vent on the floor. i could hear the sound of someone trying to scream but it was muffled. "Jared...theres some one else here." "What do you mean?" "Listen." I pulled him down beside me, his eyes widened. "Holy shit." I saw a dark figure run by the doorway out of the corner of my eye. Jared must have saw it two cause we both turned our heads toward the door at the same time. He got up and ran over to the door. "HELLO!" He called out into the hallway. "This is really starting to get fucking weird." "We have to go down there." "Down where?" "In the basement." "Why?" "Well...the person.." "Babe...we need to get out of here." I walked over to him. "What if it was me?" "Baby..you know that I would." "Then do it for them....they need us.."
