“Anna, that’s cheating,” Lana said.
“No, it’s not!”
“Girls, dinner’s ready,” Lana and Anna’s mom, Miriah said.
“Coming.”
After eating dinner Lana and Anna went to bed and got ready for school the next day. Miriah walked over to the girls’ room and got them up. “Girls, school time.”
“Ughhh,” Lana moaned while Anna sprung out of bed and got ready for school.
Lana and Anna were eating breakfast when there was a knock on the door. “I’ll get it,” Lana said with a grim look on her face.
“Hello, I’m Kevin. I work for Easy Joffrey and I see that you have made some recent purchases.”
“Umm, hi? I’m Lana, would you like me to get my mom?”
“That won’t be necessary. Just give her this.” Kevin handed Lana a small cardboard box that was surprisingly heavy for its size.
Lana walked back to the table and continued eating breakfast. “Mom, a man came to the door and gave me a box. He said it was for you.”
“Where is it?” Miriah asked.
“By the door.”
Miriah walked over to the door and picked up the box. “So what is it?” Anna asked.
“Umm,” Miriah said as she opened the box, “Oh, it’s a metal ball?”
“Why did you get metal ball?” Lana asked.
“I don’t know. Anyway, time for school girls.”
Lana and Anna rode the bus to school. On the way a kid named Flipper Paste kicked Anna’s backpack to the back of the bus. “What was that for?!” Anna said as she went to get her backpack.
While Anna was getting her pack, her friend named Alex got up and threw Flipper to the ground and kicked his side. After hearing all the ruckus the bus driver turned around and slammed on the brakes.
“NOT ON MY BUS! Alex. Flipper. I’m calling your parents.”
They continued driving to school. When they got there, Flipper’s mom and Alex’s dad were there. The day went on and when school was over Anna and Lana went home. When they got home they put their stuff away and went to play. “What game do ya wanna play?” Lana asked.
“Let’s play hide and seek. You hide first.”
“1,2,3,” and so on Anna counted.
Lana ran into the basement and hid behind a couch that was by an old bookshelf. Anna came running down the stairs into the basement and accidentally slipped on a piece of cardboard. She flew at the bookshelf falling on it. When the bookshelf collapsed, it opened up a secret door. “Oh, my god, Anna. Are you oka-” Lana was cut off when she saw the door that was behind the shelf.
Anna got up and asked, “Should we tell Mom?”
“We should later. I wanna see what’s down there first.”
The girls opened the door and it revealed a giant, rusty staircase. They went down. At the bottom, they saw three long corridors. “Which one should we go down?” Anna asked with a scared look on her face.
“Umm, this one.” Lana said as she proceeded down it.
They walked for a little while until they reached another door. They opened the door and it revealed a room with guns in it and human bones. For about four seconds Anna stood there. Then she bolted towards the stairs, but she ran so fast that she left Lana behind.
“ANNA, WAIT FOR ME!”
Anna didn’t pay attention. She kept running but the corridor seemed longer that it did when they were walking through it the first time. Anna stopped for a second and waited for Lana. When Lana finally caught up with Anna, she asked, “Are we lost? The tunnel seems longer.”
“Oh, my god. Please. PLEASE! Don’t let us be lost.”
It took them about twenty minutes to find their way back out. “Anna, we should go back down there and actually be prepared this time.”
“I’m down for that, but not today, tomorrow, after school.”
So the next day they went back down prepared this time. Lana even had a knife. They walked around in the tunnels again but this time they left a trail of rope behind them. They were walking when Anna noticed something in the wall. She took out a hammer and chipped it out of the wall; it was gold. “Lana, does this look like gold to you?”
“Where did you just find that?”
“It was in the wall just sitting there.”
“GGRRRRGGGG,” a creepy noise came from down the hall where they were going.
“What was that?!” they both asked.
Off in the distance, a creature with long arms that was completely bald came running at them.
“AHHHHHH!” they screamed.
They were running back to the house when suddenly the monster grabbed Anna and bit her left arm off. “AHHHH! LANA, HELP ME!”
Lana took out a long knife and stabbed the creature in the heart. It dropped Anna and ran away. Lana picked up Anna and ran back to the house. When they got back to the house, Lana slammed the door and yelled for her mom. When Miriah saw what happened, she immediately took them to the hospital. Anna had her wound stitched up and fixed while Lana was calling the police telling them what happened.
The doctor gave Anna a metal arm since she didn’t have one. When the police arrived, they asked for Lana. Lana stood up and told them what happened.
“Wait, what took her arm?” the police asked.
“ I can show you if you come to my house.”
“Kid, we don’t have time for this nonsense.”
“But, please, you have to believe me. Just come check it out.”
“Fine, get in the squad car and tell us where to go.”
Lana gave Anna a kiss on her head and went out to the car. They drove to Mariah’s house and when they got there, one of the policemen said to Lana, “Kid, you have to stay in the car just in case something happens.”
“Fine.”
The policemen got out of the car and went into the basement, found the door and went down. When they got to the bottom, they saw the rope so they followed it. On the way following the rope, they saw blood and more blood until they found Anna’s arm. “Oh, my god,” one of the officers said.
Suddenly green gas came out of the walls. “What is that?”
One of the police started to choke. Then another and then another until they all were on the floor almost dead. Their bodies started to turn green. Then they got up and started to walk back to the car Lana was in.
When Lana saw them coming, she started to freak out because they all were green. They started to break the windows on the car and try to get to her. She shot one with a handgun then broke out of the car. She ran into her house and locked the door. It didn’t matter though, they broke through the door so she grabbed the metal ball from by the door and pounded their heads in. After all this she ended up locking the door to the tunnel and putting a different bookshelf in front of it.
She waited at the house for someone to come home and, when they did, she told them what happened. After this, they moved out and got a new house.
