Human tales

The Cookie Horror

We moved into the new house a week before and i was suprised at the neighbouring house, it was rich looking but apparently no one is living there.

My name is Maise and im a kid with strict parents who dont trust me much.

"Maise, Come and help your mom in the kitchen". My dad Shouted.

"Coming dad".I yelled.

It was a sunday morning and i was helping mom cook breakfast. My father was going out for groceries and asked what i wanted.

"Cookies dad , Choclate chip.".I said.

"Okay i will buy them ,anything else."

"No, Nothing for now."

After an hour he was back and guess what he didn't buy.... THE COOKIES!! and instead bought himself some chips. I was pissed off and went back to my room.

My mom came in after and gave me some juice but i bawled that i wanted cookies.

That night, i cooled down and had my dinner.

Next day i went to my friend's house which was a few blocks away and i slipped some money in my bag.We had some cookies and i was happy after that.

We played a few games and hung out for hours.

When i was walking towards my home , i saw a middle aged woman in front of a rich house right beside mine and observing it.

When i was going to open the door , she saw me and smiled. I asked what she was doing there.

"Hello my name is Jean Burgundy. i want to buy this house and I'm checking it out. Are you my neighbour?." she asked.

"Yes i am.My name is Maise.Nice to meet you Miss.Burgundy." I greeted.

"You like cookies right?" She asked.

I was shocked and i said "Yes , how do you know?".

She laughed and pointed towards my cheek where there was cookies residual and she also said i smelled just like the cookies she ate.

I laughed and went home.I just went and slept in my room and from the window i saw that Miss.Burgundy was gone, So fast ?.

I saw something flicker inside the house and then i saw someone.I thought maybe it was Miss.Burgundy checking inside the house.

Next day my parents left for a meeting at my dad's friend house. They left me saying that i should take care of house and not to wander in the house.

I was hanging out in the den watching TV, i put up my favourite show and was chiiling out.When i suddenly got a text from an Unknown number.

Unknown number : Hi

Me : Who is this?

Unknown number : It's me, Jean Burgundy!

Me : Oh , How did you find my number?

Burgundy : I was checking my neighbour's numbers on the telephone book and found your father's  number.I asked him if i could rest at your house. He gave me your number.

Me : Oh , So you wanna rest here?

Burgundy : Yes, actually my broker is fixing the house rate and his arrival might be delayed so i wanted to stop and wait and also know my good neighbour's.

Me: Oh okay , You are welcome here Miss.Burgundy. When will you be coming?

Burgundy: I will be coming in 10 minutes , i'm baking some cookies for you.

Me: Cookies!! Wow. I would love to try them.

Burgundy : OK, then i will be coming soon dear.

I just then got a text from mom.

Mom: How are you doing at home Maise?

Me:  I am fine mom, Im just getting ready to make Miss.Burgundy comfortable.

Mom : Who is Miss.Burgundy?.

Me: You don't know? She said dad gave my number to help here rest here till the broker comes.

Mom : What?

Me: Yeah. She wants to buy the house beside us , the rich looking one.

Mom: That house was empty for years and apparently some woman killed herself there.

Me: What?

Mom: Yeah and the weird thing is her name was burgundy too.

Me: Full name?

Mom: Jean Burgundy.

The phone dropped from my hands and at that moment i heard a knock.

"So you know who i am , open the door dear you've been asking for cookies from days. I'm here to feed you some".A hoarse voice came.

I Screamed...!
