Secrets That Kill

PROLOGUE Arthur crawled out of the cottage, but a strong force took over and pulled him right back into the cottage before the door was shut in an instantly, frightening him even more. It was pitch back outside and where he landed. He had pains from all over his body thanks to the collision from him hitting the ground. Arthur was giving up. His attempt to save himself from this cottage was proving to be futile. His body was shaking and his hands were trembling. . He was so afraid and he couldn’t stop grinding his teeth against each other. Come to think about it, even if he makes it out alive, will he ever get over the fact that ten of his friends died in this very cottage? Ten of his best friends since third grade? How was he supposed to live without them? What was he going to tell their parents yet they only sneaked out so that they could be at this cottage... As if to frighten him further, the wind started blowing making him shiver even times as more when the cold chills made some contact with his skin. The windows which were tightly shut suddenly opened and he was able to see the shadow of a person. The person who had made their lives in here a living hell. “Please don’t kill me, I won’t tell anyone what has happened here” Arthur begged with a shaky voice after going on his knees and clasping his hands together. “You shouldn’t have stepped into this cottage,” The man’s voice sent echo’s all over the place. Before Arthur could even blink, the man grabbed his neck and pressed it tightly till he was unable to breath. Arthur’s eyes popped open and foam come from his mouth. The man dropped him to the ground. Arthur was dead! He shouldn’t have stepped into the cottage with his friends. Everyone who did, died! This is the haunted cottage and the thing that killed them all, was the secrets they were hiding from each other...The secrets that kill.
