My family and I went to a new home we bought a day ago.The house looked kind of an old Mansion,the color was a grayish color. It looked like it was abandoned by its owner. At first, we were a bit scared,not being sure whether the mansion was haunted or not. But our dad convinced us to believe that the house was not haunted. We went in and there was a lot of old stuff inside.It looks like the owner left all behind. We decided to move all the old stuff to the basement.I went to a big room,it’s was very big and nice that it has a balcony.I can see so many places while looking outside the balcony.Then while arranging my stuff in the room,I noticed a music box.It looked so old that it was filled with dust.I sneezed and decided that the box needs to be fixed. I cleaned it with a lot of soap liquid and chemicals to make it come out with shiny appearance. It look as brand new.I cleaned up the inside and played it.It sounded so Melodiously good that it sounded sweet in my ears. I kept on playing it while brushing my hair or playing with a doll.
It was nighttime and I went to sleep after turning off the lights.Then,the music box played on its own and I woke up after hearing it.I thought I played it before heading to bed so I decided to hear it one last time and closed the box. I went back to bed but suddenly,it played again. I woke up,being confused about what was going on. I then saw my doll being well dressed and well kept.I could remember my self not dressing it before bed and that’s when I knew something was wrong somewhere.The Next morning, I was having a cereal with milk for breakfast while my little brother,Zack, was having fun with his pancakes and mum was in the kitchen clearing out dishes and my dad was ready for work.
“So dears,how were your nights?” My dad asked
“Was cool! I dreamt that I was flying in the air with teddy.” Zack said with joy
“Wow…that’s to say you will be a super man “ dad said with smile.
“Yaaaaay!” Zack rejoiced
Dad turned to me as I was staring at my cereal,stirring it around until it got fully soaked and moist. Dad looked at me for a couple of minutes and said
“Chelsea, is something wrong? You didn’t tell me how your night was,”
“It was fine..” I stared back at my cereal.Obviously,they won’t believe me if I tell them what happened last night.It will sound as a complete joke or dream to them.
As my dad went to work after dropping me at school (my brother had to go to daycare because he’s only five years old) I wasn’t like a popular kid.If I pass someone,they won’t probably notice me.Rather,I was always bullied and called of all kinds of silly names by Regina George.She’s the most beautiful and popular girl in our school.Most of the boys likes her a lot but she’s kind of a prideful person.She always calls me ‘potato head’ just for fun and all my classmates would laugh at me. I have a friend name Phoebe.She’s the coolest girl in class but not as popular as Regina.She’d always got my back no matter what. And I will see her as my sister. I told her what had happened at home last night .
“Woah..your house must be haunted “ Phoebe said.
Of course I couldn’t take that
“ what? Oh no no..it’s not haunted.may be I was sleep walking around and opened the music box.” I told her
“Yo..have your parents ever complained you of sleep walking?” She said
I couldn’t believe it myself but I have to take it as a joke. While having dinner after school,my dad will talk about how well he did at work and while everyone talked,I will be silent and this irritated my dad and he said..
“How was school,honey?”
“Yeah…it was nice and I had fun in class” I told.
Then,as my parent were talking along with Zack,I felt something was watching me.I was curious to know as I turned my head to the living room,the feeling was gone. I couldn’t understand what happened but I have to leave it behind. As I went to bed,I felt that strange feeling again and felt afraid of it. My instincts were telling me that I was being watched by someone.Then I heard the cringing of the cupboard door then as I turned back the door was shut immediately.So I decided to face my fears and went to the door.My hand shivered as I was about to touch the door,I was panicking that I felt my heart beating out of my chest.I opened it and at first,nothing was inside until I felt a cold hand touched my shoulders and I turned round and saw what I shouldn’t have seen.I felt cold and fell to the floor.Was I dead?
