This is just a little story I did in school. I liked it so much I made the characters Xiaolin Showdowners... if thats right...
You do realise, that nearly everyone knows the story of Jack and Jill? That the real reason they went to the well was NOT to collect water? Ha! Nobody knows that part. Nobody knows the true story.
It begins in the small town of Haus. It was relatively normal apart from the creepy tower at the edge of the town borders. The tower was painted grey and looked very similar to the leaning tower of Pisa. It used to be a brick red colour and standing straight. Everyone knew the people that lived there as terrible and unforgiving. They used to know them as kind and nice. At night sillouhettes were seen through the tilted windows. They used to see parties through them. Only the old citizens knew what had happened behind the towers walls. Every time they walked past the tower, they stared at it with fear then quickly walked away.
They warned everyone that the tower was haunted and armed with a curse. Anyone that went in there never came out. The citizens would then hear bloodcurdling screams afterwards in the middle of the night, screams that haunted their dreams.
The most famous case was of a young boy named Chase. It is so famous because he was the only one that has ever escaped the dreaded place. He had stumbled out of the house his brown eyes wide with fear, his long, black hair and pale face covered with blood. Immediately he was taken to hospital and became the talk of the town. He was countlessly asked what had happened in the house and why he went in there. Chase answered none of those questions but instead mumbled " Jack and Jill. Up the hill." over and over again.
The citizens soon called for the town detective, a man with untidy, brown hair, wearing a brown coat and holding a cane with a golden duck head on the top. He had great experience in other cases but none of them were murders. When he was offered the case, it was apparent he was nervous.
"Shouldn't we be hiring someone from the city? They certainly have more experience than me!" complained the detective.
"It would take days for someone from the city to come and accept the case." sighed the mayor, a short, fat man with a tall top hat. "Besides once they've heard what the case is about they would probably chicken out!" They argued for hours. In the end the detective sighed and exited the mayor's office.
"Fine, I'll do the case..." said the detective. The mayor smiled and shook hands. "I knew you would accept this case Raimundo, I hope you succeed!"
Raimundo left the office with his head bowed down and in deep thought. He walked through the streets of Haus and before he realised it, he stood in front of the hospital doors that housed the tormented Chase. Raimundo looked at the hospital doors for a while longer and entered. After being shown the way to the distraught boy, Raimundo arrived at the bedside of Chase. They boy stared with fear at the approaching detective. You could see it since his hand was slowly approaching the red emergency button situated near his bed.
"Now Chase, I'm not going to hurt you. Just tell me who did this to you." asked Raimundo in a calm manner. Chase looked at him weirdly before leaning in closer to the detective's ear.
"Jack and Jill went up the hill to push me down the well. But I pushed Jack down, he broke his crown and Jill went falling in..." whispered Chase fearfully before lowering his head on the pillow to sleep. Raimundo looked at him with a concerned look. Whatever was in the haunted building caused the boy to lose a couple of braincells.
Later that day, Raimundo went to check the well. It was worth a shot and Raimundo was not proven wrong. The small stone well's bucket was on its side, next to a small pool of nearly dried up blood. Marks in the dirt proved there was a scuffle between maybe three people. Raimundo frowned as his eyes followed a trail of blood leading away from the well. Instead it led to the haunted house.
"Perhaps Chase was right..." mumbled Raimundo. He continued looking at the house, laying his eyes on the house. "I must go in!" he declared and soon afterwards after collecting his gun, entered the house.
No one knows what happened after he entered. Some say he was killed as well, but no screams of terror and pain were heard at night. Nobody thought of the idea that he probably escaped or that his body was at the bottom of the well, rotting with all the other bodies of the unlucky that entered the house. As for Chase, he doesn't remember a thing of his terrifing ordeal in the house and went to become the maker of children's nursery rhymes. His first nursery rhyme was an instant sucess and children around the world loved it. Would you like to hear it?
"Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. But Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after."
