The sensation hit me. someone pushed me into the massive holes (🕳) hidden in dark caves. I was fainting. I tried to open my eyes. A dark wooden floor was benieth me. I had some bruises in arms. The dark caves we were in gave way to a strange room made of wood, the colour of the room was unusual it looked as if it had blood stains all over it. There was a picture of a beautiful girl she smiled yet her eyes had pain in it, the locket adorned her neck.I was startled by the seen.
An old but warm sound greeted us in the corner, it was a lady looked like she was in her early 40s, She was very formal looking like a receptionist "It's been a long time since we had visitors". she gave a slight smile. Something stopped me from asking her about the girl in the portrait. "why don't you take a shower first, the girls will serve you later" the woman mumbled in a soft tone . Our mind roamed with confusion but we were exhausted and had no reason not to follow her.
The locket, the figure in mist, the one pushed us into the holes, my head pounded. Jake and Jordan was waiting for me in the hallway. Portraits hanged around in the hallway, many of them were girls, in the corner were some portraits which were not hanged, but covered by a canvas, curiosity killed me. Jake helped me to take out the dusty canvas covering. I could not look at the sight before me, it send shivers trough my spine. It was the portrait of me lying dead with the locket on my neck. my heart raised, my head pounded, I could hear the whispers in my head, I could not talk, I could not move, fear took over me.
