She rose from her bed, quickly getting dressed and brushing her hair. She entered the kitchen where everyone was huddled closely around the television. “Good morning!” she stated happily, only to get yelled at to quiet down. “What’s happening?” she asked innocently.…
As I walked outside, I saw very few people up and ready to start the day. Panning the island, our guests were nowhere to be found. “I guess they're still asleep,” I thought. Out…
Usually she did too, but not today, today she just wishes she could hide. Tears roll down her face as she hears the door shut and footsteps come closer to the bedroom, their bedroom. The light suddenly flicks on and he sees her in the corner, instantly he knows there is something wrong.…
They looked at each other for a moment then nodded. “Take only things you would need and we’ll head down there.”…
“Are you kidding me, Why are you people like this.” Kayleigh said, annoyed, “Let’s just get this game over with.”…
A few seconds of silence passed. The next thing she said came out as almost a whisper, so quiet that I almost didn’t hear it. “She probably doesn’t even want to see me again,” she quietly scoffed, rolling her eyes.

In the act of her curiosity, Mona cautiously approaches her family. But then suddenly stops because of what she sees next. Her family beginning to raise their arms, pointing down into the deep dark basement. Now, shivers down her spine, Mona walks toward the basement door, trying to see what they are pointing to. She walks closer and closer straining her eyes to see through the thick blackness, while frequently looking back at her family to make sure nothing has changed. But with all her efforts she could not see anything but darkness, so she reaches for the light switch, inside the stairwell, to get a better look.
