I held Char's hand tightly as we headed down "Court Silver Avenue". It was a run down street, houses were falling apart at every corner. The rain only added to the effect.
"He we are." Char breathed stopping in front of a house. It had once been grand, anyone could see that. Ivy scaled the columns, the balcony was hanging on a few pieces of wood, the once magnificent stone work had been cracked from years of weather and misuse.
I peered through the sheets of rain and double checked the address, Char was right. We were here.
I took a deep breath and began walking on the weeds and mud heading toward the porch. The stairs heading upwards to the door creaked unstably under my weight. I reached my hand up to knock on the door, but there wasn't one. Just a gaping black hold leading into the unknown.
"Hello?" I whispered
"Is anyone there?" Said Char with much more confidence.
I stepped into the darkenss withChar behind me. I flicked on a lamp that I had ran into.
The light dimly illuminated the room, it was just filled with some old furniture, an old musty smell filled my nose as I coughed at the dust surrounding me.
Suddely the light disappeared. And I was at the mercy of the darkness again.
"Char?" I whimpered.
Silence.
"CHAR!" I screamed. Still no response.
I heard a creek of wood from behind me and I whipped around only to face the blackness.
"W-who's there?"
I heard a faint click,
the sound of a weapon.
I screamed, but it was too late. I felt searing pain surge up from my leg as my body crumpled to the floor. I felt blood seep through my jeans.
I blacked out.
