To have a life partner and make a family with them is one of the things we want to fulfill. And that's exactly what the couple wants in this story.

Roy and Jessica are a newly married couple looking for a house because they are so tired of paying rent for the small room every month. Roy is sitting on the couch using his laptop and searching for a house for sale and he saw an old house that fits on their budget. He calls Jessica who is currently cooking to ask if she agrees to buy the house. Jessica looks at the photo of every part of the house then she agrees.Roy contacts the owner immediately and the conversation is smooth. They will meet at the house tomorrow to make a good transaction.

Roy and Jessica go to the house early and Roy clicks the doorbell button twice but no one responds he was about to click it again when suddenly a car came and stop behind them. Then an old man handling a briefcase came out from the car. "Oh, you two are early," said the old man. "Yeah, we are just excited," said Roy. Then he smile . "That's good to hear, okay, let me open the door," Said the old man. The old man tours them in every part of the house. "Sorry, the house is messy. I haven't been here for a long time," said the old man. "That's okay, we will just clean it," said Jessica. She smiles.

Then after the mini tour, the old man takes the house title and the key from the briefcase then Roy handed the payment to him. "This house is owned by two of you now," said the old man. "Thank you, mister we will take care of this house," said Jessica. "That's good to know. By the way, I am going to leave now," said the old man. Then he opens the door and walks to his car.

"So where we gonna start?" Jessica asks Roy with a broom in her hand. "Uhm- Let's start at the kitchen," said Roy. They are talking about what will they buy to decorate their house while cleaning the kitchen then suddenly something falls down from the basement. "What's that?" said Roy. "I don't know, maybe rats," said Jessica. Then she stops sweeping the floor.

Roy headed to the entrance of the basement to find out what fell. He didn't let Jessica go down because the basement is so dark and dirty. Only a flashlight serves as Roy's light to see what he is stepping on. While Jessica is waiting she suddenly hears crashes from the basement "Roy? What is that noise? Are you okay?" Said Jessica. With fear in her voice. But Roy didn't respond so she decided to go down to see what is going on. Then she saw Roy covering the big wooden box using the old carpet. "Hey, I heard something when I am up there. Are you okay?" said Jessica. "Yeah, I am fine baby, I just got shocked by the rats," said Roy. Then they go up and continue cleaning.

After they finished cleaning the whole house they take a nap, but the nap becomes a long sleep and it's already morning when they woke up. Roy tells Jessica to make breakfast for them. Jessica feels different. Roy never tells her to make breakfast because Roy is the one who did that every morning since they were in the same apartment. Jessica just thought that Roy is just tired that's why he tells her to make their breakfast today. Roy didn't eat his breakfast on the table, he take it and he goes to the basement. He always did that every day but when Jessica ask him he says that he's fixing something there that need to be done immediately.

5 years got passed and they already have a baby. We can say that the family they build is perfect because since they had a baby they haven't fought instead Roy becomes sweeter to Jessica. But Jessica wants to know something because after 5 years Roy still do the same. He didn't let Jessica go down to the basement and he always takes his breakfast there before he leaves the house and goes to work. Jessica can't control herself anymore so she plans to go down to the basement when Roy left to find out what he was really doing.

"Hey baby, I am going to work now," said Roy. "Ok baby, take care... I love you!) She said. While washing the dishes. When she saw that Roy is already gone she stop what she's currently doing and go down to the basement. The basement is still the same. Roy didn't clean it. Jessica saw the big wooden box that was covered by the carpet. She goes there and tempts to open the box but it is locked, she looks for something that can break it then she saw a shovel on the edge of the pole. Jessica use it to break the lock of the wooden box then she got shocked when she saw Roy inside of it. His hand is tied up and has a gag on the mouth.

"R-Roy?" Jessica stuttered. Roy hadn't spoken yet when the man imitated his appearance suddenly came. "Oh, finally you find him congratulations," Said the man imitating Roy. While he claps.

"Who are you? What did you-". "I am your husband" he interrupted. Then he turns into a demon and runs in Roy and Jessica's direction. Jessica hit the demon with a shovel but it didn't work. The demon grabs Jessica from her neck then bites her head. The only thing that Roy can do is cry. He doesn't have enough energy to get out of the wooden box. The demon takes Roy from the wooden box and breaks his body into pieces. Then the demon goes up to takes his baby and goes back to the basement and lock himself.

The End.
