But she felt like she had to do it, for her father if not for herself. She took a few slow steps and walked into the darkness.
Dark tunnel
It was so dark inside that Sue thought that this had to be the key that her father was talking about. It was the only explanation for describing it as some sort of ‘dark key’. As Sue walked deeper into the dark, she was shocked to see that there was no end in sight.
Was this some sort of tunnel? It had to be because the walls were next to her and it just led forward. Sue kept going, she was all by herself, but she wasn’t going to stop now. Besides, if she needed help her mom would hear her right away, or so she thought.
A noise
Sue was walking down the tunnel slowly when she heard a noise. It was almost like she wasn’t alone in the tunnel, as if there was someone else inside. It scared her a lot, she screamed and ran out back in the main room in the basement. Then right upstairs to her mom.
She didn’t know where her mom was though, it was like she had just vanished from the house. Sue ran around searching for her mom and calling out her name. She was scared to death that whatever she thought was inside the tunnel had come out and was chasing her around the house.
Scared
After running around and calling for her mom, finally she appeared. She had just gone upstairs to her room for a moment. Sue was hysterical and told her everything that had just happened. Karen didn’t know what to say about it, she needed to go into the basement and check things out.
Together, they both walked down into the basement and looked around. Karen was shocked to see that Sue was telling the truth about there being a mysterious door that led into a tunnel. It was the very last thing that she would think to see down here in this old house.
Courage
Karen wasn’t about to let there be a mysterious door in her house without knowing what was inside. She took Sue’s hand and together they went into the tunnel to confront it. Whatever was inside there, they were going to get to the bottom of it together, as a family.
They walked deeper into the tunnel and they heard that same noise again. It was like something was walking around and scratching along the ground. When they finally got closer to the noise they found out just what it was. It was the last thing they expected to be all the way down here.
Mouse
It was just a mouse! It was a small white mouse that had been down there for who knows how long. The small animal ran into a tiny hole that led into the tunnel when they discovered him. Karen knew this was an old house, but it never ceased to amaze her.
They were about to turn around and walk out, but there was still more to see. The tunnel was almost at the end, there was no way it led to an even larger room. They were going to see what was at the end before they backed out of this and sealed it up.
Final surprise
They reached the end of the tunnel and looked around. They couldn’t really see anything, so they turned the light on Karen’s phone. She looked around the room with Sue, but there was nothing there. When they turned around to leave, Sue accidentally kicked something with her foot and it startled her.
They both looked at each other and then down at the box that was at Sue’s feet. It was just like the box that they had found a few times before. Sue and Karen both knew that this was the final prize and piece of the puzzle. They opened it after they left the tunnel.
Album
They brought the box upstairs and into the living room so they could open it in the sunlight and see what was inside. Sue opened up the box and took a look at what were its contents.
