Lisselle stopped at the top of the stairs looking down into the basement, the basement she had had no knowledge of until recently. In fact not until he dad had passed away and the whole family had been searching for his will which he had hidden.

No one in the family knew about this basement except for her. She had discovered it yesterday while searching for he father's will. It was odd know one knew of it.

Oh well she thot. She took a deep breath and started to descend down the steep old-fashioned steps. She held the torch she had brought with her in front of her. As she reached the bottom she took a deep breath and looked around it was dark and itsy smelling. It was mostly empty except for a lone chest in one corner. She slowly moved towards it. She extended her hand to open it and found it was locked.

"seriously," she thot to herself.

She got up and moved around the room searching for the key. It was no where to be found. Suddenly she remembered something.

One day she had walked into her father's office and he had been shit at his desk deep in thought. There had been a key dangling from his fingers as soon as he had seen her he jumped and quickly hid the keys in his drawer. At first Lisselle had thought nothing of it, but now she wondered was that the key? What else could it be for? The family had kept no keys except for the in the cupboard by the kitchen for the front door.

Lisselle moved to go back up the stairs when she tripped. She screamed as she dropped the torch. The walls of the basement were wood, and old wood at the. She scrambled around trying to get back up the stairs. The torch had now caught the walls afire and I was starting to burn quickly. Lisselle got up once more and tried to move towards the stairs, but just before she got there it was engulfed in flames.

"oh crap," she thought and screamed internally.

She looked around for another out but found none. She was almost about to give up all hope when her eyes landed on the chest. It was creaking and groaning. Lisselle stared at it. All of a sudden it started to move towards her. She gasped but was to stunned to move away as it slowly crept closer and closer, groaning and moaning with every movement.

And the chest stopped just in of her she stretched out her hand to touch the lock as she did so lid sprang open causing Lisselle to scream involuntarily and cover her eyes.

There was a loud gurgling sound and Lisselle felt a drop of water on her cheek. "what the hell?" she thought. "how is it raining inside?!?"

She uncovered her eyes and lifted her head. Her mouth dropped in amazement. The chest which had been opened was now spewing water in all directions. However even though there was water shooting past her so close she only felt and occasionally drop now and then.

She looked around the fire was dying down. Soon it was out all together, and the chest stopped spraying water and sat there still opened. Lisselle took another deep breath and looked inside. She frowned when all she saw was a folded paper.She reached inside and took it out. Unfolding it she gasped and covered her mouth in astonishment.
