Emma and I stood at the end of the driveway where the house was. "it's not a bad looking house." Emma said while glaring at the house."But who knows about the inside of there, it could be infested with rats, or cockroaches for all we know," I added."Well we're not going to get anywhere if we just stand here and stare at the damn thing." she said. so we walked up to the house and the wood looked like it was a century old. The door looked like it would just break open with just a touch. We decided to try and open the door and crazy as it sounds it just opened up as if the wind opened the door, or it opened by itself. We stepped inside the house and to a complete surprise it was full of furniture. It looked like nothing was moved or touched. we took a look around and the house inside was beautiful and seemed full of life But at the same time it felt dead. We called to see if anyone was home which was pointless due to since it was abandoned. There was then a sudden crash that sounded like it came from the kitchen. "What the hell was that?!" Emma asked in terror. "I don't know, sounded like it came from the kitchen, but we should get out of here. We need to do research on this house before we explore it even more," I told her while trying to get her out of there as quickly as possible.Emma was out of the house but before I left, I noticed some writing on the wall, but the odd thing about it was that I didn't look like paint. I then proceeded to read it and it was just a scrambled mess of words. The message said  ruoy dneirf eyks si daed. it didn't make any sense, but I didn't have time to look over it so I took a picture of it and ran out of the house and  caught up with Emma and told her about the message and showed her the picture of it."Alex, this message doesn't make any sense, it's just a scramble of random letters, there's no message here its as pointless as the email you received yesterday." Emma said angrily. "There's gotta be something behind it though. no one would just put that down without a meaning, everything has a meaning behind it." I told her. "Well maybe we should do research on the house and understand what actually happened behind the abandonment of the house." She said.We had gotten back home and I immediately got onto my laptop and started researching about the house. I read news articles, read interviews with other people of the family, and video about it, but what caught my attention the most was the name of the boy that lived with the family, his name was Skye, the everything came back to me, the memories of playing Pokemon and hockey, having sleep overs, and staying up till three in the morning playing Halo or Mario kart. I couldn't believe that I had forgotten all those memories. all those happy times seeing him, But they were now gone and yet I still don't know why he's gone. But then I continued on researching till I read about what happened and in horror I realized that he didn't move away. He was murdered, both him and his parents were slaughtered inside their own home by a man by the name of make any sense, it's just a scramble of random letters, there's no message here its as pointless as the email you received yesterday." Emma said angrily. "There's gotta be something behind it though. no one would just put that down without a meaning, everything has a meaning behind it." I told her.

But then I continued on researching till I read about what happened and in horror I realized that he didn't move away. He was murdered, both him and his parents were slaughtered inside their own home by a man by the name of Eugene Walter, who was a man that would probably in his fifties now and I knew him all too well. He was almost always at Skye's house when I went over there, he was always talking to his parents and making new kinds of food and cracking jokes with them, I  always had my eye on him though I never trusted him one bit. "I knew it, THAT BASTARD, HE WAS WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME TO CUT THEM TO PIECES!!" I yelled in a fit of rage and then saw Emma come running into the room. "What's the matter babe?" She's asked with a scared expression on her face. "The family didn't move away. They were murdered by Eugene Walter eight years ago. The same man that killed my parents thirteen years ago. I was only nine and I was at my grandparents house that night so he had the perfect chance to murder them and he was able to covered up his tracks real fast because no one knew until they were able to take him in for questioning, But my grandparents didn't tell me that my parents died till I was at the right age to know because they didn't want me to worry about the guilt and anger. Eugene was also accused for child molestation nine years ago, But Skye's parents bailed him out and I hated that he was bailed out only for him to kill them a year later, But I couldn't hate John and maria for bailing him out, they had treated me like their son, they respected me and I always looked up to them as though they were my own parent" I said. I never told Emma that I had lived with my grandparents who live down the road till I moved out and bought my parents house, or that my parents were murdered. I thought it was for the best that she didn't know. Though I never really talked to my grandparents, they always had something come up, so I couldn't see or talk to them, for days, weeks, or months till I met Skye and we had become best friends, we had become brother's till one day my grandparents took me on vacation for the first time, But when I came back to see him, he was gone. There was a for sale sign on the house But no one ever bought it. "I still don't know how all of a sudden I remember all this" I said to Emma. "So all this time, you lied to me about your parents moving to South Carolina?" Emma asked angrily because I had lied to her. "I didn't tell you because I didn't wanna have to think about the anger and sadness" I explained to her.I then remembered the depression, the anger and the sadness of not being able to see Skye anymore the only friend I had and he was taken away too. I had to get to the bottom of this and figure out why Eugene murdered both Skye and his parents, he had to have a reason for taking their lives, like I said before everything had a reason and I was gonna find out what the reason was.
