A Monster in Disguise

Chapter 11: Secrets

I scroll down the menu on T.V. and see a show called My Haunted House.The stories were true too. I click it and then I see a woman talking about strange writings every where saying July 12 in her house. Then she was taking a bath and discovered July 12 carved into her bloody arm. But when she was going to call 911, it disappeared. Also, when she was gonna make a bed there were scratches on her body. After she washed the cuts she found a peice of mirror in her bed and moved it . But then her scratches and the mirrior vanished. She asked about the strange house's history and learned that a couple living in the samd house were getting married on July 12, and the man was working home late on February 14, but he left work early and decided to surprise her. But he saw her having an affair and then he broke a mirror and grabbed a piece. Then he stabbed her and carved July 12 on her. Then he went in the bathtub and carved July 12 on himself and bled to death. I turn off the T.V. and decided watching that probably isn't a good idea at 10 pm. I walked to bed slowly then got inside. I can't sleep now that I watched that show. I try to read a book but then my lights begin to flicker. Then I hear a laugh. I jump out of bed and try to run straight to the door. -Smack- ouch. I open my eyes but there is nothing. "Hello Bella." I turn fastly around and there standing is Mason. "Hello Bella. Do you remember me? I've been watching you and I believe we met a few weeks ago. I think I still would like for you to be with me......forever." "No way you disgusting pervert!!!" I open my door and run."Where are you going? I'll be back later", he laughs. Where do I go now? It's already 11pm. Am I a vampire yet??? I haven't seemed thirsty. -After a few minutes- Good. He's gone. I call Max and then he appears fastly. I hug him tightly. "Woah. Why are you so sweaty? Are you okay?", he asks. "Mason... Mason is back. He tried to capture me again", I whisper. "What happened to him when he was alive? "Would you like me to come in with you?" "Please" We walk into my house and I grab my computer. I go on the Internet and type Mason Thompson. I scroll around and see News Reporting: dead child found in back yard pool. "Is that it?", Max asks. "Let's see." There's a little paragraph so I decide to read it out loud.

Seven year old Mason Thompson was found dead in his pool. In an early evening his divorced mother said she was busy with a lot of work and he kept asking her if he could go in the brand new pool. But no was always the same answer because no one could watch him. She smacked him after he asked her again and she saw him run outside but didn't think he'd do what he did. His older sister, Amber saw him jump inside the water. She thought her mother was watching so she continued listening to her music and she turned her back. But when they weren't watching, he had no protection and he couldn't swim. He began to drown. He screamed but no one came to help. His mother was on the phone in her bedroom and his sister had on headphones. His mother admitted to hear a scream but thought it was in Amber's music but it was actually her son dying. Soon later his mother made dinner and called Mason. With no reply she went to his bedroom where he wasn't there. His sister screamed then his mother ran outside and saw Amber holding Mason. He was pale and his lips were blue and his clothes were still dripping. His mother screamed and regretted to not loving her child enough. After Mason Thompson was buried....
I close my computer and cry. How sad, his mother was only trying to protect him....Now I understand why he feels lonely. The next time I meet him....I'm going to ask him questions...
