                    "No one knows her name, or even if she is a he, but we know someone lives in there" Macey's mom told her, after she questioned her about the house across our street, she can talk about that house all day, it's full of mysteries, and, no one knows who lives in there. "Why can't someone go look" Macey asked "Oh dear, no one dares to enter or even walk past the house, people say its haunted, but im pretty sure it's not, anyways, why don't you go and have some fun with your friends instead of asking me so many questions, it's summer, you're gonna regret it when school starts"    "Mom do you forget, a barely have any friends, and Amy is on vacation with her parents"   "Well why don't you go out, have a walk?"   "Okay, i guess" 

Macey slip on her vans and heads to the door, picks up her skateboard, then heads to the cafe where she usually goes when she has nothing else to do. While rolling on her board, she passes by the house no one dares entering and stops for a while. "Why is everyone so scared of it, it's not even that bad", after a moment of reflection, she grabs her board, and decides to knock on the door, wich no one has ever done before ", after a few minutes, an old lady opens the door "Well hello young lady, why are you here" the elder women asks "Well i was kinda curious to see who lived here, and since know one i knew, knew, i decided to have a look on my own, and now i know"   "what a sweet girl, do you want to come in?", a voice in Macey's mind tells her not to go in "What if she's dangerous, nah a probably 80 year old grandma is not gonna hurt me? Is she? What if she's just trying to be nice, i dont want to hurt her, okay lets go."

                 Macey enters the house, it smells like dead cat and powdered sugar, what a weird combination..   "Do you want a cuppa tea?"  "Oh you're british?"  "Yes, I am, you've got a fine ear"  "Oh stop, i can easily recognize accents"  "Well you're a cultured girl, now come and have some tea, I insist"  "Alright if you say so"  "By the way young lady, what is you're name"  "Oh yeah, um Macey, Macey Rolland"  "Oh what a pretty name, well im Margaret"  "That's lovely", the grandma gets up of her chair and goes to grab the boiler where some water was boiling, "Heres the w-" "AHHH, MY HAND"  "Oh dear, i'm so sorry, i didn't mean to drop that on purpose."  "It's fine ma'am, but i have to get going, my mom is probably waiting for me at home"  "Oh no, why don't you stay here a couple more minutes, i'm so lonely these days..."   "I'm sorry ma'am, my mom is gonna get woried"  "Alright, if that is what it is, go."  "Thank you for your comprehension ma'am, i'll come back, i promise"  "Oh great, see you soon"   "Yeah, see you soon..", Macey heads to the front door and goes out."You're not going anywhere young lady...."

"I'm so glad that you came back earlier, i was so bored."  "To be honest me too, that hotel i stayed in was musty...ew"  "Did it smell like dead cat and powdered sugar?"  "Kindoff, how'd you guess?"  "Oh, just like that"  "Well good guess, wanna go to the skate park?"  "Yeah obviously!"      "Hey what's that?"  "What's what?"  "Didn't you see that?!"  "Uh, no? What are you talking about we're all alone, did you see a dog or whatever?"  "No, there was a shadow, behind us, i don't know what was it, but im sure that it was not an illusion, impossible"  "Stop trying to fool me, i know you love joking around, but it's not funny"  "I'm not joking!"  "Whatever you say big guy"   "You're annoying"  "Yeah thanks i love you too"   "Shut up".

"MOM, I'M HOME", Macey shouts after she walks in the house, "mom?", she doesn't seem to respond, "She's probably still at work", Macey heads to the kitchen and gets herself a glass of water. "Why is it so warm here", she heads to the living room, turns on the TV and opens the window. After sitting on the couch, she takes a sip of her water, "My head hurts, what is up with me today...", she turns off the TV and heads to her room.
