Letter

Mary turned left and drove into her neighbourhood.Suddenly,there were smokes coming from a house.Jack looked at Mary with a horrified look and said'sister,is that our house?'

     Mary looked at Jack,forcing a smile,'Don't be silly,how can that happen?'she said.'Wait a minute, I'll go take a look.'

     She unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door.She ran towards the house, that was engulfed in flames.She stood there looking at the burning house.

     She thought,it really is our house.Wait,how did my brother know? It's not like he is close by.

     She looked back at her car and saw that her brother was looking back at her too, from the car's window. Is it my brother who burned down the house?She thought. No!No Way!I must be going insane, thinking my brother is the culprit.

     She shook her head and looked away.She noticed a letter on the ground,she squatted down and took the letter.She turned the letter around to see if there were any names but there was nothing.

     She opened the letter and there was a disgusting smell.It smelled like blood.She thought,should I continue opening it?It smells horrible but I have to...

     She slowly took out the paper inside the envelope and there were words written in blood.The blood spattered across the paper but she can still read it.The words were LOOK AT YOUR PHONE!LOOK AT IT NOW!

     She looked at it with a horrified face and slowly moved her trembling hand into her pocket.She took out her phone.

     She felt tired and dizzy the moment she opened her phone.She felt her head spinning and her vision was blurring.Then,she fell to the ground and darkness covered her sight.

Mary woke up her vision still blurry and her head was buzzing.She rubbed her eyes and focused her vision,the buzzing was gone.

She opened her eyes again and looked around.She wasn't on the ground instead she was in her car.She looked out of her car's window.She was in an unknown place.

There weren't any houses nor signs. Suddenly,she heard a sobbing sound on her left.She turned her head to her left and saw her brother curled up on the side of the door.He's face on his knees and he was sobbing.

She slowly moved her hand to pat on his head but her brother pushed her hand away.He looked up and let out a frightened yell at Mary.'Don't Touch Me! You're Not My Sister!'

Mary looked at him with a confused and concerned face.Then,she stretched out her arms,giving him a big warm hug and said in a gentle voice 'it's alright, I'm here.Your sister is here for you.'

He looked up at Mary and let out a loud cry and said 'sister,you were like a different person just now.' While rubbing his tears away.

'Don't worry,I'm back, it's alright now.'

After a long time,Jack laid in her arms,asleep.Mary looked out the car window and thought,What happened? I remember I was unconscious on the ground.What does he mean by me being a 'different person?'

She was in deep thoughts until she saw a silhouette walking towards her.She looked at it slowly closing in the distance between them.

The silhouette was now standing in front of her car.It was an old man,he was taking a thick wooden stick to help him walk.He's hair is white and he seemed very old.

The old man slowly moved to her right door and knocked on it a few times.Mary went out of the car and asked 'Do you need anything?'in a polite tone.

The old man looked at her up and down and said 'you must be the new neighbor.Welcome!Welcome!'

'What?'Mary said in confusion.

But he ignored her and continued to walk away.Trying to be nice,Mary didn't question any further.She yelled'wait a minute'and quickly carried her brother out of the car.She hugged her brother in her arms and followed the old man.
