Chapter 50- iFind Out What's Underneath The Trap Door.
Sam's pov
Okay I was so confused and surprised. I lifted up the old bathroom floor rug that had been sat there for years, ever scince I was born in fact. Once I lifted it up, it revealed a very big floor board. I stared at it for a little while when I noticed that there was a handle on it. I held the handle tight when I realised that this wasn't a floor board and that was when Freddie said; "Em Sam that's not a floor board, it's a trap door" I must admit I felt a little stupid, how could I not know that there's a trap door in my child hood home.
"Freddie, how could I not know that this has been here all this time?" I asked him.
"I don't know, maybe because it had a giant rug hiding it" he replied. He was looking a little shocked himself.
"Well let's go find out what's down there" I said.
"Wait, you want to go down there?" He asked.
"Yes if there's anything in this house that can be used as evidence then it's going to be down there" I replied.
"It might not be safe" Freddie said out of nowhere. I think he was a little scared about going down there, but he didn't want to admit it.
"It will be worth the risk" I told him as I pulled up the trap door. "Are you coming?" I asked as I turned on my torch. It was very dark down there.
"Yeh fine I'll come" he told me and I smiled. "Only because I'm not letting you go down there on your own" he added. This made me smile even more.
"Well let's go then" I said as I started to walk down the stairs and Freddie followed soon after me. There were a lot of steps it took a while for us to get to the bottom of them. They were really steep and me and Freddie could hardly see where we were going. As we were heading down them I couldn't help but get a little nervous because honestly I had no idea of what I was going to find down here. I had no idea what to expect either, because lately I had found out a thing or two about my Mother and that was she's a liar, she likes to hurt people, especially her loved ones and most importantly she's capable of anything.
We got to the bottom of the stairs and two small lights automatically came on. They didn't light up the whole room but it was enough light for a guide to move around the place. It was weird though, how can all the lights not work upstairs, but down here the lights come on automatically, strange right?
Me and Freddie both went to a different part of the room and started looking for some evidence. I was looking at the book shelf, which seemed to have normal day to day reading books on it. One particular book then caught my eye though it was called 'The Secrets Of Witch Craft' that's a weird book I thought. I was about to pull it out to take a look at it when Freddie called me.
"Sam, you might want to take a look at this" I heard him say. So I carefully made my way over to where he was.
"What is it?" I asked him. He then pointed to a table that was placed in the corner of the room. The table was filled with all kinds of things. It had herbs, dead flowers and all kinds of different potion ingredients. I stepped closer to the table when some filled potion jars caught my eye. I began to read the labels on them, one of them said 'Health potion - A potion that replenishes health' If my Mom is taking that it is certainly not making her look any younger or better for her age I thought. I then skimmed across the rest of the jars when I noticed on one in particular.
"Is that..." I said pointing to it, not able to finish my sentence.
"A poison potion yes" Freddie said, finishing my sentence for me. That was when I finished reading the label for it. It said 'Poison potion –The silent killer'
"And this is a ball gag" I replied to Freddie as I picked it up and studied it carefully.
"What's a ball gag?" Freddie asked. Aw I know something factual Freddie doesn't know, that's actually quite surprising.
"It's a ball that gets put in to someone's mouth and then tied around someone's head so it becomes impossible for them to scream, speak or even make a sound" I explained. "She even has a steel chair over there" I added and pointed over to it. Freddie turned around to see it.
I think Freddie was a bit shocked that he had found all this down here but I wasn't. Lately I had been following that quote 'expect the unexpected' and it seemed to be happening. I went back over to the bookcase again and carried on looking through the books. Another book then caught my eye it was called 'How To Ruin Your Family's Life' I'm guessing my Mom had been following this over the years then. Next to that book though was a book with no name, so I pulled it out. It was hand written book and on the cover it said 'How I ruined My Family's Life' I then knew if I was going to find any evidence on my Mom then it was going to be in this book. So I opened it up and I flicked through the pages carefully until I find what I was looking for and what I so desperately needed.
"Freddie listen to this" I said.
"What is it?" he asked and I began to read;
Pretty much as soon as my two daughters were born I have hated my life. I thought I had a loving husband and a family like I always wanted, but I was wrong. One of my daughters Sam Puckett seemed to love her Dad a lot more than she loved me. As the days went on she seemed to spend less time with me and her sister Melanie. She paid less attention to us and more to her Father. She spent most of her time with him, causing her Father to pay no attention to me his wife and hardly any with his other daughter. As time went on I met a man, who had his own ice-cream business. I confided in him and he gave me all his time and sympathy. He made me feel special and after spending so much time with him we both decided that Sam and her Father deserved to be punished.
So one day after making an excuse for Sam's Dad to leave the house the man I met drove up in his ice cream van to where we knew he would be. The man I met was called Charlie Woodman. After them starting a conversation Charlie told him that he was looking for someone to take over his business. I can tell you Mr. Puckett isn't as clever as he looks because just like we hoped he agreed to take over the business. He didn't know though that we had stashed a load of stolen money in the van and Charlie soon reported the van stolen to the police. A few days later he was arrested and taken to prison for stealing the van and all the money. He was taken away from his precious daughter and Sam was left thinking that her Daddy didn't love her.
My plan still didn't turn out right though because instead of Sam becoming closer to me, she and her sister became the best of friends. I needed a new plan to split them apart then but that came on its own because one day Melanie found the trap door down to my hiding place where I hide my deepest and darkest secrets. She thought her and Sam could use it as her den. I told Melanie that she had to keep this place a secret, she didn't listen though. I caught her trying to tell her sister but before she could I whisked her off to boarding school, leaving me alone with Sam…
"Wow, I think we've found our evidence" Freddie said once I finished reading.
"Look like it, do you want to get out of here?" I asked him.
"Yeh this place is creepy" He replied….
Author's note
So here we go chapter 50. I can't believe this story has hit 50 chapters especially because I was only planning to make it a 15 chapter story. This story is less than 10 reviews away from hitting 200 reviews. I think it would be amazing and I'd really appreciate it if everyone leaves a review for the 50th chapter making the story hit 200 reviews.
Anyway many of you have asked if I've been watching the Olympics. Yes I have been watching the Olympics and I love it. Especially because they are in London and I live in England so it makes it extra special. Me, my Mum and little brother have really been enjoying watching it. What's everyone's favourite event?
So I hope you enjoyed this chapter, thank you for reading, please review.
