In the gloomy basement, two small figures are leaning against each other in the corner.

Weak, pitiful, helpless, still trembling.

"Sister, I'm afraid, why doesn't Dad let us out."

The younger sister, who was held in her arms, raised her head, looked at her sister's face, which was exactly the same as her hairstyle, and said with some fear.

"Belle, don't be afraid, with my sister here, I will protect you, Dad probably forgot something, don't worry, Dad will take us out when he remembers."

Named Anna. Jones's little girl comforted her twin sister like this.

"But sister, I'm so hungry."

"Then I'll give you another piece of candy."

Anna pulled out a candy from her pocket, she usually had a habit of carrying a small snack with her, but this was the last one

She looked at the candy twice, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Anna, as a sister, you must protect your sister well."

The little girl said this to herself in her heart, and then put the last candy in her sister's hand.

Sister Bell happily took the candy, opened the wrapping paper and prepared to send it to her mouth, but she saw her sister's reluctant eyes, and the movements of her hands suddenly slowed down.

After all, they are twin sisters, and the two are the same age, although as a younger sister who was born a few minutes later, Bell has always been taken care of by her sister Anna, but it doesn't mean that she is really the kind of child who doesn't understand anything.

"Sister, let's be half of us."

Belle placed the candy next to her tooth and bit it hard, and after a click, the candy split in two.

"Sister, you eat too."

The little girl with her bangs slanted to the right handed the other half of the candy to her sister with her bangs slanted to the left.

"I don't want it, I'm not hungry."

Anna looked away, trying not to look at the candy that her sister handed her.

"But sister, we are twins, I can feel it if you are hungry or not."

Belle blinked, mercilessly exposing her sister's lies.

It is said that there will be this unique telepathy between twins, and I don't know whether this kind of speech is true or not, but the two sisters Anna Belle really have a certain sense since childhood, they can chat in their hearts without speaking, and one party will feel pain when the other is hurt.

"Sister, if you're hungry, I'll feel hungry too."

Belle persuaded her sister again.

Anna was speechless, so she took half of the candy from her sister's hand and put it in her mouth.

The candy melted in her mouth, and the sweet and energy-rich sugar water flowed in her mouth, which made the little girl close her eyes comfortably and enjoy the deliciousness.

In fact, she was tired of eating candy or something, but at this time she hadn't eaten for a day, she was really hungry, and hunger made Anna feel like she was back to the first time she ate candy, this little thing is so charming.

"Sister, will Daddy really come and pick us up?"

Sister Belle's uneasy voice rang out again, interrupting Anna's enjoyment of the delicious sweets.

"Of course."

Anna replied firmly.

"Belle, you can get some sleep first, and we'll go out when we wake up."

She comforted her sister like this, and her face sank after seeing that her sister really closed her eyes.

Although Anna is only ten years old, she is no longer a child at this age when she can get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and she has to take care of her sister as an older sister, so she is much more mature than her peers.

Therefore, Anna naturally noticed the quiet change in the atmosphere at home, the relationship between her parents seemed to be getting more and more stiff in the past two years, and her father and mother even slept in separate rooms, and they didn't know what was happening, and since a week ago, the father's eyes on the two sisters have begun to become more and more cold and frightening.

This made the perceptive Anna fidgeting for a long time, she always felt that something was going to happen at home sooner or later, and it turned out that her instincts were not wrong, just last night, the father smiled and said to the sisters that they should play hide and seek with their mother, and then opened the cellar and let the sisters get in.

Anna was reluctant at first, she didn't want to play hide and seek, but when she saw her smiling father's eyes, she silently chose to give in.

Those eyes that were once full of love were now full of coldness, even disgust and irritability, and the suppressed malice was almost about to spread.

If you don't listen to your father, something bad will happen.

At that moment, Anna had such a clear premonition, so she persuaded her sister, who also didn't want to play, to choose to agree.

It's just that Anna can't figure out why things are like this, she doesn't know what's going on at home, did she and Belle do something wrong to make her father angry, why did her once kind father become such a stranger?

"Don't worry, Anna, this is at most a punishment for a small black room or something, and my father will definitely let our ..... go"

The little girl said this to herself again, and she forced herself to believe it, because if she thought about it deeply, she was afraid that she would break down.

"I've got to hold on, or I'll do something Belle."

In this dark and lightless basement, the girl who forced herself to become strong hugged her sister in her arms tightly, she had to persevere, because her sister was afraid of the dark since she was a child, and her sister couldn't hold on without her company.

"God, who can come and save us?"

In order to soothe the uneasiness in her heart, Anna also closed her eyes and prayed silently in her heart.

..........

Hisss .....

When you close your eyes, your sense of hearing is strengthened to a certain extent, and a small hissing sound reaches Anna's ears, which makes her stiffen.

Almost as soon as she heard the voice, she had a vision of some kind of long, slippery, terrifying creature that loved to twist and spit venom.

There are snakes in this basement.

After realizing this, Anna was so frightened that her originally white little face turned pale directly, and she began to panic.

Anna lowered her head and looked at her sister, who was already asleep in her arms, hesitating to wake her up.

After all, although she is not afraid of the dark like her sister since she was a child, she always feels that there are some terrible ghosts hidden in the dark, but she really has no problem with snakes or frogs, which are terrible things that exist first, just thinking about the feeling when she comes into contact with these slippery things, she is disgusted, and she panics, but her sister has been very bold about these things since she was a child, and Bell has liked to catch snakes and frogs everywhere since she was a child.

But my sister finally fell asleep, and it's not good to wake her up, Anna, you're a sister, be brave, isn't it just a snake?

She shivered around the dark basement, looking for the snake that was neighing.

"Now, are you looking for me?"

A somewhat hoarse voice came to mind above Anna's head.
