A/N: Thank you to, Artemis629 and coraline5555 for reviewing! Seriously, it mean a lot to me! On with the story!
Chapter 3
Austin rammed through the front door, Coraline was right at his heels. He ran past the stairs, down the endless hall, and took a left. He tripped into the parlor room as Coraline grabbed the back of his shirt. He slid across the room until he hit his head against the wall.
He rubbed his head and checked to see if his blood was on the wall, instead he found a door behind the wall paper.
"Hey Caroline, where does this door go?" Austin asked, his curiosity getting the best of him.
Coraline stammered, "I-it goes n-nowhere, it's supposed t-to be b-b-cricked up."
Austin didn't believe her for one second, but he didn't want her to know what he was going to do, "Okay, fine. Have it your way Caroline."
He got up and hurried up the stairs before she could remember he anger toward him.
What was up with her and that door? She started acting all weird, well weirder, Austin thought as he ascended the staircase, but I do want to see what's behind that door.
He looked through his backpack until he found what he was looking for; his lock picking kit. he'd gotten it from a guy who came to the orphanage one day, he was a locksmith and didn't need this small kit anymore.
Austin shoved it into his jacket pocket and headed down the stairs, Coraline wasn't in the parlor when he got there, so he approached the door. He put his ear to it, for a second he could have sworn he heard something humming behind it.
Come on Austin, he told himself, you're overreacting. Caroline was just being her weird self, that's it.
Austin opened up his kit and looked through it. To his surprise there was an extra key, a black iron key with a button for a handle.
"What's this doing here?" he thought out loud.
He decided to give it a try, he put the key into the lock and, to his surprise, the key turned and the door opened.
"Aw, come on," Austin groaned as he stared at the bricked up door.
A/N: Ooh, Austin found the door. Now the rest is almost completely predictable, but now I will make it as unpredictable as possible! R&R please!
