He led me into the diaphanous , spacious and picturesque hallway. It was like a paradise.
But Henry's presence drained all light and happiness anywhere he goes.

Suddenly ,The sun hid behind the clouds and rain started to tap on the window panes. I had to get to know this boy if i wanted to have at least a bit of fun .

" So do you miss your friends? " I asked trying to make conversation. He didn't respond just stood in silence . This was going to be the longest few hours of my whole existence . I just sat waiting for response or a change of emotion.
" I didn't have friends back home." a deep voice answered .
He speaks ?? Violet focus this boy has just told you he doesn't have friends.  Be nice.
" Oh. Well neither do I. Well I do ... but mostly they leave me for their other friends." I fiddled with the hem of my dress. I didn't want to think of my friends in high school it will just upset me. My eyes met his and he gave me a comforting smile. He smiled ? Wait he does that?
" Come on I'll show you to my favourite room in the house if you want ." He mumbled as he made his way up the stairs .
" Yeah why not ." I said .

We made our way up the stairs and to a room full of dust and cobwebs . How is this his favourite room? I thought he'd be showing me a game room or a reading room not one full of candles and spiders. Oh did i mention spiders ? There were lots and lots of them.
" This is your favourite room ?" I asked in disgust .
He smirked. and went to whisper in my ear
" Yes and I can't tell you why . I don't know if i can trust you yet."
What? My thoughts were interrupted by someone cheerfully shouting
" HENRY we're home ! We've  got stuff for dinner."
It must of been his mum. I looked over to Henry and he was in full panic mode . It was quite funny it looked like he was constipated .He grabbed my hand and instantly felt his cold hand on my burning skin.
" You need to leave okay." he snapped
I nodded In agreement. We said our goodbyes and I tip toed downstairs hoping not be caught and have to explain why i'm here. Finally I reached the door. With a sigh of relief i wiped sweat of my forehead . Gross.
I turned the handle and just before i set foot outside I " Hello! Are you Henry's new friend?" A woman with bright blonde hair , pink lipstick and an eye blinding shade of blue eyes approached me with a wide smile and open
" No your neighbour I was just leaving it was lovely to meet you . I wish i could chat more but i have this... thing . Goodbye." Her fave turned into a frown but  it was quickly replaced with a bright smile " Not to worry dear goodbye!" I
rushed out the door and left out a breath i didn't know i was holding .

Memories of their house and him replayed in my mind " I don't know if i can trust you."
Trust me with what? Whatever he's up to i'm going to find out. Now i've got plans . Plans to decipher Henry Creel .

A/n: I know these chapters are short but i need to get the boring backstory and then the chapters will be longer . Tysm for 560 reads !!
