A mysterious find
1
I slowly approached the ancient-looking coffin, my fingers cold and my hands trembling. I should have listened to the warnings, I should have stayed back, and if only I had never found out…
It all started last night when I was snooping through my parents' old stuff. While I was searching through boxes, something caught my eye. A key was hidden right at the bottom. I smiled eagerly and grabbed the key out of the box, to examine it. This was probably the weirdest thing I had ever seen. It was bigger than any usual key, as it was the length of my hand. It had a unique shape, but my eyes were glued to the symbols on the side of the key. I had never seen these symbols before. But that only made me more intrigued by this mysterious object.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps walking towards my parents room, the room I was in. Having no time to hide, I slid the key in my pocket and quickly snuck out of the room like it was nothing, although my Mum obviously saw me. She walks past me, and slowly stops to look at me, and asks in a serious yet confused tone.
“What were you doing in my room?”
I had to think of a lie, something actually believable.
“I was just looking for you,”

“I was just looking for you,”
I replied, hoping that she would fall for my lies. “Well, do you need anything?” Mum asks; she seems to believe what I told her.
”Actually, nevermind, it doesn't matter." I start walking again and head to my room, but seconds before disaster, the key falls out of my pocket and makes a loud sound once falling to the floor, capturing my Mums attention.

“Huh, so you were snooping?" I was caught red-handed. At this point, I just let her win, but only this once. I stare at her awkwardly as she picks up the key from the ground and takes it to her room, shutting the door behind her.
I took out my phone and tried to find out more about these symbols by researching. For the next couple of hours, I searched everywhere, but nothing was to be found. That night I fell asleep, let down, and was confused. What did these symbols mean? And why did my parents have this key in the first place…

Peace in the house
Sorry I forgot to tell you, but your father and I are out of town for a trip, we will be gone for the day, there's food on the table, and remember to feed the cat. Call me if you need anything.
Love, Mum
Love, Mum
I woke up the next morning feeling really tired; my vision was blurry. I got up and looked in the mirror hanging on my wall; my face looked drained. My dark eyebags and droopy face definitely weren't a good look. I rub my eyes and stumble down the hallway, down to the kitchen. The house seemed quiet, I looked around the house as I slowly became more awake to realise nobody else was home and I was the only one here. I noticed a small note on the kitchen bench. I picked it up and red it…
