Don’t Open the Door

I got to my new small one bedroom house around around eight am. I just moved to the countryside of England and was looking forward to the space from society. As I came to the door the previous owner was waiting by it. A old man wearing a burgundy sweater and a brown cap on walks up to me. "I wanted to give you the keys personally and welcome you to your new home. Everything in it is for you to do with as you please. But I must warn you son, whatever you do, do not open the door in the basement." He then gives me the keys and in his washed out eyes a sign of release. He quickly picks up his suitcase and heads down the little dirt road. "You need a ride Mr. Bernanke ?" "After forty years in that house I think I'll walk. Just remember David no matter what leave the door closed!" He said as he waved goodbye.. After bringing in all the boxes I decide to take a quick nap.I'm awakened by a moaning cry. I must of slept for hours the moon gives a blue light over everything. The moaning seems to be coming from inside the house.I creepy around the house It was simple and dull. Yellow painted kitchen one oven and a 1960 style fridge. Headed down the hallway I see pictures of landscapes across the world most of jungles and desserts. Some of the pictures have a young man who looks similar to Mr. Bernanke. At the end of the hall is the door to the basement the moaning is now louder and clearly from the basement. I open the door and see down the stairs a small door no bigger than a foot. I get down and kneel in front of it. Dust covers it all. Small engraving of unknown symbols border the door. "Hello?" The moaning stops. "Please please help let me out, open the door!" A small child's voice with a vague animalistic tone comes from the other side. My hand reaches to the handle but the old man's voice comes into my head. I pull back. The voice changes and screams in a sickening demonic voice. I fall back in fear. The dust burst off as whatever is trapped begins to bang and bang.I run up the stairs Into the living room. "Let me out! Let me out! I will feast on your Fucking soul! Let me out!" The screams fill the house. Frantically I head outside. "What the fuck! I reach for my phone but it's not in my pocket. "Dammit left it inside " looking back the door wide open the screams have halted. I walk back in noticing my phone I grab it and begin to dial the police but my the battery is drained in seconds. I can hear a child's laughter coming from the basement I stay the night outside. The brisk air and prickly grass were more comforting than what ever was in that house. The next morning I get the courage and walk back inside. The house feels as if nothing ever happened last night. I plug my phone in to charge and call the old man but I'm only greeted by the voicemail. The day goes by fast by the time I realise it the Sun has long been set. "David... David... Plead don't ignore me. I somehow get the confidence to go to the basement door. The door to the basement is slightly ajar. Just enough so I can see that door. The mere sight of it terrified me.I descend down and Take a seat in front of the door everything is dead silent. "What are you?" I ask. "...oh I have a lot of names David, different cultures call me different names. I was there for your creation and I will be there laughing at your demise. Now open this door!" The voice yet again merges into a demonic tone.it begins banging again. This time I calmly get up and head up stairs. For hours the banging and screams terrorize the house. I stay on the couch this time clenching my ears shit. Begging this to stop. " Fucking stop!" I'm going mad I can't take this noise.Boom! A huge sound of exploding wood travels through the house. "Its out.." I freeze in fear in the living room staring at the wall. All of a sudden a sound of a small creature scouring up the wooden stairs. It's small claws scratches the floor. I run to the basement door to hold it shut. But the noise rattled behind me. Oh God no it's in behind me! The creature begins to walk toward me. Its feet sound like hooves clanking against the floor. Dammnit why can't I move! Please David do something before you get slaughtered! Closer and closer it gets. I could make a run for it! No wait the hallway is a straight path with no doors just two exits the basement or behind me. Fuck it here!. Its hot breath gently blows against my ear. I can almost feel it's fingers reaching for my shoulder. I swing the door open and jump to the other side only getting a glimpse of a dark shadow. I press my back against it and look at the small door all the way down was still locked. "Ahhahahha what's wrong David?" The child speaks. "You never left? " "Nope!" it chuckles. "This is hell." "Oh you have no idea David! All the games we can play!" it says excitedly. "Fine! If I open the door will you leave me alone?" "Cross my heart" the child says delightfully. "Alright then..." I walk down to the door llean down and grasp the little handle. I twist it and hear the chains rattle inside as if it was jumpin with joy. Switching gears til a pop comes. KaBoom lightning cracks the house and I'm in complete darkness. Chains are wrapped around my neck and arms. I'm hunched down in a tight space. "What the hell is this?" I scream I can feel the door on my side I ram against it. "I'll see you later David." The child's voice comes from the outside. "No! We had a deal you were going to leave me alone!" "Oh and I shall David. I'll leave you alone forever." I hear footsteps walk up the stairs. "No! Come back! Please! Let me out! Noooo!" I screamed but all I hear is a child's laugh as what must be the basement door creaks as it closes....
