Prologue

Courtney stood on the top step looking down the flight of stares. She was shaking and hugging onto her teddy bear. She hated the basement. She would see scary people down there, so her parents never made her go down there. But her parents weren't home right now. She was being baby-sat by this teenaged girl who lived down the street. "Come on Courtney, don't be such a baby. It's just a cellar. All I need you to do is go down and grab a coke. Be a big girl!" Courtney shut her eyes tightly. Her three year old legs trembling as she took the first step down the stairs. She used to like coming down here. There would be nice people who would play games with her and tell her she was a good girl. But then those people disappeared. Now there was only the man behind the cellar who dangled from a rope tied around his neck. His face was blue and swollen and he never talked. Then there was Mr. Fredericks. Courtney hated Mr. Fredericks. He would always sneak up behind her and scare her. Courtney gripped the wooden railing with one hand before taking another step.
"Courtney! Hurry it up!" Ashley yelled from the living room. "If you don't, I will lock you in there." Courtney ran down the stairs as fast as she could. Her feet got tangled and she fell onto the cold, concrete floor. She slowly lifted her head and looked around the room. She heard a slight noise and jerked her head to the right, but soon realized it was only the hanging man.
She stood to her feet and glanced frantically around the room. Her breath was shallow and sweat lined her forehead. She walked into the darkness for a while, her only light coming from the small window, until she bumped into a shelf. Her hand searched the shelf until it came across a can. She picked up the can and was about ready to turn around when she heard a creak.
"Welcome back, Courtney."
She turned around to see a silhouette of a man standing in the dark. He stepped out into a beam of light. He was a tall, slim man with a gray suit on. He had an old fashion, bowling ball hat on that matched his suit. He would have looked like a regular man, if he had flesh that is. His whole face was a skeleton, with bits of raw flesh in some places. His eye sockets were completely empty and dark. Courtney gasped and dropped her teddy bear. Tears whelled up in her eyes as she looked as Mr. Fredericks.
He looked at her and grinned an evil grin. Then he spoke. His voice dripping in evil. It sounded like nails on a chalkboard to Courtney. His voice was enough to send her into histarics, with just one question.
"Come to play?"
