"So." Kim starts. "Who wants to check out the creepy basement." At this everyone looks to each other. That's when Lia sighs.
"Why don't we just check it out all together?" Lia suggests.
"Didn't el tipo tell you, NOT, to go into the creepy basement?" Sofia raises an eyebrow at Lia.
"Oh come on how bad could a basement be." Kim argues.
"A large monster pops out and eats us." Sofia shrugs causing the others to give her various looks. "Alright fine." Sofia states. "But as soon as I see whatever monstruo that's hiding down there I'm out in a heartbeat." This got the group the chuckle lightly. Sofia then grabs the door handle and opens it.
Alice sighs. "Down the rabbit hole we go."
The group slowly enters the basement and immediately the smell of mold hits them earning some grumbles and complaints. The basement however looked rather clean. As clean a rough stone could be any way. It was confusing. The smell said that there was mold but none of them could find even a spec. In the corner of the room was a metal door, and in the center was a massive table with a pair of giant cogs turning, and a symbol of a hammer and nail.
"That's weird." Liz comments. Suddenly the cogs catch causing a loud clang. The girls jump at this but quickly everyone chuckles.
"Wow," Sofia laughs. "Behold the terrifying failed science project."
Lia sighs. "Was this seriously it?"
"Looks like it." Alice states.
"So," Liz smirks. "I guess one could say this adventure was a total crash?" Everyone groaned.
"Please, don't start with the lame puns." Kim says rubbing her brows.
"You guys are no fun." Liz frowns.
Lia looks around once more, her eyes settling on the door. "Any idea what that is?"
"A fridge?" Sofia suggests getting strange looks. "What? If I was working in a basement I'd want refreshments nearby."
Lia shrugs and walks over. She placed her head against it listening for anything that could be inside. Not hearing anything she knocks. From what she could tell based on the echo, there was most definitely a room behind it, not a fridge. She backed up a bit.
"It's a room." Lia states. "You can tell by the echo it make on the other side when you knock. Whatever it is it sounds big."
"So," Liz questions. "Are we gonna open it?"
"You go right ahead sister." Kim says. "We'll just stand back there while do that." Kim gestures you the stairs back to the kitchen.
Liz rolls her eyes and grabs the doors handle. With a turn she opens the door only to see a dark hallway.
"Oh wow the door leads to a wall." Sofia says sarcastically.
"Wall?" Liz questions. "What do you mean wall there's a hallway." Sofia and the others look at her as if she'd grown a second head.
"Liz?" Alice frowns. "There's nothing there. It's just a wall. Liz realized they were being serious and frowns. She looks back to the door and just as the others said there was only a wall.
"Alright." Sofia sighs. "What do you all say we get out of here already. All that was down here was a failed attempt at making a gear and a door that leads to nowhere." Just as she says that the cogs catches again causing a loud crashing sound again. "See?"
Lia shrugs closing the door and leading the way back. Liz however takes a second glance at the door before following.
Once the group gets upstairs they begin a cleanup with everyone still slightly unsettled about the basement. Liz continues to look lost in thought and the others noticed, but chose to not say anything hoping she would be okay.
After that the girls all head out the door with a few laughs from some joke Sofia had made. Lia watched as everyone began leaving before closing the door and heading back inside. Liz however took one last look at the house as something just didn't feel right. She then looked back to the others only to find them and their cars gone.
'What? But I didn't even hear an engine start.' She thought. She looks back to the house only for it to be gone with only a set of gravestones in its place. Fearfully she walks over and reads the names. "Lia Jones, Sofia Lopez, Kimberly Staton, Alice Gaunt, Elizabeth Thompson." Those were her and her friends names. She backs up fearfully turning and running to her car only for it to be gone.
"Little Lizzy..." A dark metallic sounding voice says playfully. Liz turns to see the hallway she had seen in the basement. Turning back around she saw that she was now in the basement. It didn't make any sense. How could she go from being outside to getting trapped in this basement.
"How?" She whispers to herself. "But I..."
"Left?" The voice offers. "Oh dear Little Lizzy. You never left." Liz then feels something sharp lay on her shoulder. Looking at it she saw a claw made of six curved blades. Three on top and three on bottom of the claw. She then looked behind herself in fear to see the monster. "Nighty night." Liz screams in fear before the monster quickly slices her throat causing her to choke and fall as blood pores down her throat drowning her. "Don't worry Little Lizzy. Your friends will join you soon."
In the house Lia sits in the empty living room before hearing what sounded like a faint scream, but looking outside where she thought the sound cane from she didn't see anything. "I hope the others get home safe."
