'Nickolas gets up time for school ' shouted my mother after hearing my mother's words I woke up thinking just a normal day in my normal life. I hurried from my room with crazy hair and books in my hand I grabbed a piece of bread from the table and drank my juice haphazardly said my mom goodbye and left for school. On my way met my best friend Jean Joshua talking about our morning routine together we left for school. As we reached the school, the bell rang leaving us one more detention to attend. During the lunch break, I got a call from my mother which was odd because I forgot nothing at home. Hearing the news I hurried home to see my dead father. The death of my father was very shocking to my family. My father was an archeological explorer he was barely at home. He visited our house six months once. Before my father left for adventure, my family was pretty happy we enjoyed our holidays somewhere far weekends to pool shopping and much more. After two days of grieving, my older sister Rachel went to a town far away for her studies, and my mother Mary left for work every day, there was a room in our house a secret study it is a f*******n room we called it, my father used the room for his studies I wanted to know more about my father cause he only came home six months once. I wanted to check out my father's basement which was not accessible to anyone. He said he did not want any of our family to see the way he saw the world. His words were pretty confusing.
People used to call my father crazy he was always babbling about monsters and stuff our family never cared about what others said we have always thought it was a trait of being an archeological explorer. he always loved ancient myths and stories, he used to say bedtime stories to them about me. I used to love him he was always passionate about history and mystery I loved his taste so much. I always wanted to see how my father saw the world even though he said no. I went to the basement it was all dusty there was an old wooden door I put the key of the basement into the door it didn't work I tried once again and pushed it harder and it opened I slowly opened the old door it made a creaking sound there was a switch on the wall I turned it on and saw the dirtiest room which I ever saw in my life. I thought to myself that this would be the condition of his room if I did not clean it for years. As his father let no one inside the room, it was super dusty not neat at all I saw a few interesting things inside there was a shelf named potions it had some bottles on it one named monsters filled with sticks and scrapes and so much more; I saw my childhood wand inside I used to play with it I used to be the wizard and my dad the monster, and there were cages with nothing in inside them and a bulletin board filled with newspaper cuttings it all said something about monsters I ignored all of them my attention was caught by a book it was named spells I flipped through it was a journal it mostly comprised monsters their weakness there was a section named spells there was a spell said a spell of sight it was said to be spoken in the circle of gift I saw a circle on the floor stepped into it and muttered a spell it went like [o mother earth strengthen my bloodline and give me the power of sight] after muttering I felt totally normal i thought it was one of my fathers crazy theories I heard my mother calling me for dinner I left upstairs I had a very great dinner after that I always felt like something was watching me I couldn't sleep I went again into the basement with all my courage then I saw something in the cages there were monsters gnomes, dwarf, fairies thought I was little scared and thought I was imaging I went and washed my face and again I saw it there were monsters in those cages I was scared I was trembling with fear i thought i was brave but I saw monsters in my basement I fell down I picked myself up I woke my mother up and called the police they saw and explored the room and found nothing I had a lecture from the chief of police that I was crazy like my father he said I was depressed every time I went into the room I saw monsters no one else could I couldn't do anything about it through the night I had no sleep.
I woke up in the morning went to school I met Joshua and said to him what had happened last night he told me not to worry that he will come over to see what happened in fact he was more excited; I knew that all that excitement would go away when he sees them, Joshua was a myth lover like me we used to listen to my father's stories about monsters and used to be excited; we have always loved monsters while others hated them and said they were just myths well now I got the chance to see them alive I was scared, In the evening when Joshua arrived I told him about the situation and we went to explore the basement I was scared but a little brave that now another one who believed my words is next to me I took my step into the basement with all my courage when we went inside, closing my eyes I turned on the light and asked Joshua what do you see he said
