"Okay Jake, try to open it." My voice edgy as Jake and I were outside Tate's house, trying to open the basement window.
Jake pulled with his arms, continuing to lift the window up while I checked out for someone; panicking.
"It's unlocked but...it's really hard to open." Jake said in discomfort heaving up the window.
"I'll help." Lifting with Jake.
We pulled and tugged with all of strength together until finally a creak sound started as it opened completely.
"We got it!" I yelled out of breathe.
"Shh!" Jake said pushing me into the window.
I jumped down from the window and I was back inside this frightening basement. Jake followed me in the window right after. Feelings of shock and adrenaline throughout me, realizing we broke into a basement. I've never done anything bad like this before but I didn't care if I got caught; I needed to know that I'm not crazy.
"Okay, well the look of the basement is creepy enough." Jake whispered; checking it out.
"Well, let's just keep walking around...I know it's in here." Directing Jake as I pulled him.
Jake and I continued snooping.
"Ew, what is this?" Jake said disgusted.
It was a bunch of jars. Okay you're thinking jars of food or a collection...It was jars of body parts, animal parts, baby body parts, and parts of I don't even know. I was so grossed and freaked out. Tate has a basement with this stuff. Pondering why he would have this. The last time I was down here, I didn't even see this because I left scared out of my mind.
"Alright, maybe you are right about Tate." Jake looking at me with fear in his eyes.
A loud bang in the distance, causing Jake and I to jump up a mile a minute, happening right after Jake said that.

"Okay, really what was that?" Jake's voice shaking.
"It's probably that thing I heard down here the last time." Fright hovering me.
"I think it's time to get out of here." Jake started to push me.
"No, I need to know answers!" I yelled pushing him off of me; something coming over me.
Jake let go of me, looking back at me; his face shocked. I've never acted this way toward Jake and I believe he knows I mean business. A minute later, both of us felt a chill all over our body.
"Okay, did you feel that?" Jake's breathing becoming heavier.
"Yeah, that's it, I know it's down here." I explained, breathing loudly.
"Eh, I'm sorry Riley, but I need to get out of here." Jake's voice trembling.
"No, please I'm terrified right now too...but we need to know." I demanded; directing Jake to the laundry area.
"This is where I think I heard the screech come from last time." I informed him in the time we walked around.
All of sudden, I felt myself get pushed down. My body on the floor and claws digging into my back.
"Ow!" I screamed in pain.
I pushed whatever that was off of me, turning back around.
"Riley, what is that?!" Jake screaming, staring at something above me.
I blinked my eyes a few times to clear my vision. Something standing over me, four feet four inches tall, with a pale white face, monstrous teeth full of blood dripping down it's face, bold head with a few strains of crazy stood up hair. It was wearing a creepy white laced puffy dress. My heart was pounding uncontrollably, I thought it was going to explode through my chest. Letting fear overcome me. Bloom of heat in my chest and hair prickling over my entire body as my breathing quickened more every second. Believe me, I've never been more terrified in my life.

Glancing over quickly at Jake, his face froze in shock, his chest rabidly moving up and down, while his hands shaken uncontrollably.
"Jake help me!" I yelled in the instant this monster creature jumped on top of me again.
It was making creepy screeches staring into my eyes. I tried closing my eyes to not see it in my face. I thought it was going to bite me as it got closer to my neck. Jake was just standing, staring in one area.
"Jake! Please help me! Jake!" Yelling trying to pull it off of me.
He better of been in shock or I'm going to be so mad at him for not saving me. A second later, he finally moved and grabbed the back of this creature, trying to get it off of me. The monster turned around, screeching at Jake just as it scratched it's face with it's extremely long dirty yellow claws.
"Ow!" Jake jumped back holding onto it's face. "Go away!"
The creature turned back at me, letting out a long screech, it's terrifying eyes staring back at me, as it disappeared. I jumped up, shaking uncontrollably with fright, running over into Jake's arms, holding onto each other tight. Looking into his brown eyes, he looked just as scared as me.
"Jake, are you okay?" My voice shaking while I touched his scratch.
"Let's get the hell out of here right now!" Jake pushing me; holding on to each other.
While we were running to the window, a man with a white vintage doctor outfit, a white hat, and black gloves appeared out of nowhere in front of us.
"Nora, I fixed our baby." He said in an old time voice, walking away disappearing.
Jake and I looked at each other, breathing so ever loudly.
"We have to get out now." My voice traumatized.
We ran until we finally got to the window. He swiftly lifted me up and pushed me out of the window, he got out just the second after me. Jake and I holding onto each other, our bodies trembling, running the fastest we could to his car not looking back.
