-I am Molly Hooper-

-Chapter Four-

Where was it Shaun lived? Oh yes, that house at the bottom, with the garden gnomes. Always had a thing about garden gnomes, so he did.

I slipped into the garden. He always kept it so tidy. I liked that. I think I wanted a garden when I was a little girl. I think I lived in a flat, I'm not too sure. I lived in one before I died.

I pushed open the gate slowly, and slipped in, taking in all the flowers and gnomes and even the pond. I missed it, even though it was there in front of me.

I was surprised to find the door was open. I walked in.

The flat hadn't been cleaned in a while. Dishes piled were piled up in the sink, and take away wrappers piled the floor. It was a big difference from the garden.

I walked around the house, but he was no where to be seen. I wandered into his bedroom, which was on the ground floor. It always surprised, as I'd assumed bedroom's where meant to be upstairs, but oh well.

I looked around, but nothing was there. I turned, and tripped on the edge of the rug in the middle of the floor. I fell over silently, pulling the edge of it up from underneath me.

I rubbed my head, although I felt no pain. I looked down in horror. There was a door underneath the rug. Well, a trap door really. Something that would lead you down to the basement.

There was a latch on the trap door. I leant over, and went to pull it up, when I door swung up and Shaun stood at the door.

I froze, forgetting he couldn't see me. I jumped up, and stumbled backwards.

He knelt down wordlessly, and pulled the latch up, opening the trap door and slipping down the stairs behind it. He closed it behind him, and I heard him lock the door from the other side.

Damn.

Deciding to come back another time, and left the house. When I reach the end of the garden, and stopped in my tracks.

Being dragged across the floor. Screaming. Begging.

"Please! Stop"

"Shut up bitch,"

What was that? Had I had another flashback?

Felling like I was being watched, I quickly left the garden. I didn't feel safe near Shaun's house- I didn't when I was alive either. But why?

Maybe it was something to do with the trap door.
