Alone In The Woods.

Moving Day.

"Paige get up, today's the big day" Paige's mom whispers to her as she shakes her to wake.

Paige awakes rising from her bed to see her bright room from lack of curtains that she looks at as they hang slightly from the moving box at the foot of her bed. Sadly today is her last day in Lakewood, A very small town of about 1800 located in the out skirts of Michigan. Everyone knows Paige as outgoing on whom claims to be different. In a paranormal way. She was always asked by the town to look at supposably haunted buildings. Because of her gift. She speaks to the dead.

Paige rises from her bed saddened by the thought that this was her last day.

"Paige hurry up grab your boxes were leaving soon!" Her father shouts from the downstairs of the small home.

"Ugh let me get dressed!" She shouts back in response

She puts on some jean shorts and a loose nirvana muscle tank with a red and black flannel. After she's dressed and is finished packing her finals things she notices a eerie silence across the home..

*honk honk* she here's loud and clear from outdoors

She grabs her boxes and says her final sad goodbyes to her childhood room. As she races down the stairs to leave the home and stops at the last couple stairs and stairs blankly at the empty home, her home that was once the hangout spot of her life, her learning room for her younger childhood. Gone. Packed away in boxes upon boxes..

"This isn't my home anymore.." She says quietly to herself as she sheds a tear at the loss of what once was her home.

"Paige we're leav-" her brother says coming in the house running but stops at the door and walks in to see his sister sobbing

"Paige.. I know this is our childhood home and it's where we grew up but this move will be better for all of us. Mom and dad got a job transfer and have a better pay.. Moving will help them and help us, we'll be ok I promise" he reassures her and hugs her.

"I know John.. I'm just upset to leave all my friends and this house" she replies sadly wiping her tears.

"I know Paige.. Me too but we have to go" John says back steadily

As Paige puts on her black converse and grabs her boxes and leaves the home.

She walks over to the door grabs the door handle and closes the door slightly to say one last goodbye to the home.

"Goodbye.." Paige whispers shedding a tear.

She closes the door softly and walks out into the June morning sunshine. She walks over to the back of their truck and puts her boxes in the back and closes it taking in a deep breath. She heads over to the side of the truck and grabs the handle to get in

As she grabs the handle she is suddenly stopped and she feels a heavy breeze across her shoulders, only her shoulders, a shudder sweeps across her body and she shrugs it off and steps into the car, she buckles her seat belt and pulls out her phone and places in her head phones preparing for the long drive ahead.

As they drive away from the home she looks out the window and the memories sweep across her mind of that house..

* It was a sunny August afternoon. She was 14 years old siting in the yard with her best friend, Naomi. They are talking about the homework from Mr. Tomlinson's English class.

N: "Did you finish the essay?"
P: "aha no! I forgot my papers in class"
N: "let's just go get them, the high school is around the corner from the connivence store, so we can pick up so snacks aha"
P: "ahaha alright let's go"

The girls get up from the trampoline they were resting on and tell Paige's mother that they were leaving.

They set out on their adventure to the high school and the store. They decide to head to the school before they store.

As they approach the school Paige feels a slight breeze colder than the regular breeze. She shrugs it off and continues to walk into the school to her locker.

N: "hey I think we're the only ones here"
P: "maybe haha"
N: "this place is creepy lets just get your stuff and leave aha"

The girls walk down the hallway chatting about nothing in particular.

The suddenly Paige stops and feels a rush down her spine and feels a presence sweep across her face. She stands there stunned about what she just felt.

She looks to Naomi with a confused look on her face.

N: "what?"
P: "did you not just feel that?"
N: "noo.?"

Paige just looks at her and contemplates what that could've been

N: "ha maybe it was a ghost! Ahahahahha"

Paige just laughs along so she doesn't seem crazy..

"Maybe it was a ghost.? There's no way! I don't feel ghost I don't see them!" Paige thinks to herself the rest of the time they're in the high school. *

The car comes to a slow stop and mom looks out her window

"Here we are. Home sweet home"
