Chapter 6

A huge scream could be heard coming from the basement and everyone in the house stood still, frozen as they heard the blood curdling sound. Not one of the teenagers hesitated as they streamed from their designated parts of the huge house towards the basement door that resided in the kitchen.

The quickest two was Raye and Chad and their faces fell as they realised they would have to go down the old wooden steps into the darkness of the basement. Raye looked at Chad and gave a kind of nervous whimper as she walked forwards. She was about to put her foot on the first step when she saw something hurtle itself out of the basement. Now it was her turn to scream. She screamed as she fell backwards onto Chad whilst Chad fell into the bin near the sink. The screaming only ceased when she saw who was standing in front of her.

"Andrew, what? Andrew where's Serena?" She asked worriedly as she had to pull herself to her feet as Andrew stood looking at the entrance to the basement. But she received no answer. "Andrew! Answer me!" She shouted at him as she tugged at his white shirt. Slowly he turned to look at her with a scarily white face.

"It didn't want me," He said slowly, his voice quivering.

"What didn't want you?" She asked worried at what he was going to reply.

"She thought it wanted me," He said again, not really making any sense to Raye. She turned him so that she was standing directly in front of him and moved his head so that he was in line with her, but his eyes were not looking into hers, they were looking over her head to a picture of Serena on the mantle piece.

"Andrew, please tell me what happened! Where's Serena?" Raye pleaded with him, her mind coming to a conclusion that she didn't like, didn't want to believe.

Slowly and reluctantly he bought his eyes down to meet hers and Raye could see fear in his eyes, pure fear.

"It wanted her." He ended then looked back up to where Serena's picture was.

Raye let him go and moved around the table to talk to Chad. She looked up at him and Chad could see worry in her eyes, worry that he knew was for Serena, and not for herself. "I need to go down there." She said to him, noticing that he was about to object she put her hand in front of his mouth, "I have to." She added slowly. Chad knew she meant it, knew it was final and nothing he said would deter her.

"Okay, but I'm coming with you." He said sternly and watched as Raye smiled approvingly back.

"Deal." She said and made her way towards the steps when something made her stop. She looked into the darkness and saw a bright light shine from down below. Something was happening down there, something unnatural and it was happening to her friend.

"Raye, what's going on?" She heard from behind her and watched as Darien, Amy and Greg ran into the kitchen. Amy ran to Andrew and Greg accompanied by Darien proceeded towards Raye and Greg near the Basement door.

"Something happened to Andrew and Serena down in the Basement, Andrew came out and we haven't seen Serena." Raye summarized for the boys.

"Serena's down there alone?" Darien asked, suddenly becoming frantic. "She's scared of her own closet, just imagine what she will be like being down there alone." Darien shot at Andrew, blaming him for any distress Serena might receive. Andrew turned to look at Darien.

" I don't think she's alone." Andrew said, watching Darien as his face became confused. Instantly after saying this Andrew turned his back on them once more.

"What's he on about? She must be! Who else could be down there?" Greg said, now joining the conversation.

"Andrew said something about IT wanted Serena and not him. Something down there has Serena. Something not normal." Raye said as she looked at each of the people in the room excluding Andrew. Darien looked at his best friend and sighed. There was only one thing to be done.

"Well let's go and see what Meatball head's up to shall we?" Darien said, walking towards the door. He used a little humour to see if he could brighten up the mood but everyone stayed wary and most definitely didn't smile.

The basement door was wide open and the darkness shone up from the underground level. Everyone had now arrived in the kitchen and everyone was informed of what was going to happen.

"But this is what happens in those horror movies. Teenagers go down into somewhere creepy because they hear a strange noise and they all get eaten, or mutilated or tortured or whatever, they never make it out alive, something creepy is always down there, were gonna die, were gonna die, were gonna die!" Amy shouted, the whole paragraph said in one breath. She slumped against the counter top and sighed.

"Are you done?" Darien said impatiently. Amy looked over at him and nodded. "Right then, I am going down there to get Serena, you can do whatever the hell you want. I will not let some thing take her." Darien shouted at everyone. He walked over towards the door and put his foot on the first step. No place to go now but down. He thought as he took step by step further and further into the dark.

"Aww." Lita said as she was pushed into the side of the staircase.

"Sorry." Ken apologized as he pulled her back up straight. "I tripped."

"Will you two be quiet?" Darien whispered harshly back. Ken and Lita instantly stopped talking and continued the decent.

To Darien it seemed like the stairway went on forever, which meant the chance of finding Serena alive was further away. But after a few more steps he touched down onto sturdy ground and moved slowly away from the bottom so that others could stand beside him.

"Ah, so you all came together now I wont have to track you all down, one by one." Said a raspy voice somewhere behind the shelves.
