Lurking In The Shadows

Chapter 2

I felt a light tap on my arm. I hear my mom calling my name saying that we arrived. I slowly opened my eyes and I realize we are at my new home. I stepped out of the car and felt chills all over my body. I thought this place looked creepy in the day, it looked like a haunted house now.

It has a cabin looking design but it has stones instead of boards. The last time I was here I never imagine this place would look straight out of a horror movie at night.

" Welcome home!" I heard Jordan shout excitedly. How could he be so excited about a place like this. He took our remaking luggage and carried them inside. "You'll get used to it". My mom said while she followed Jordan inside.

I was just standing outside when I felt as if someone was watching me. I turned around and saw that no one was there. I mean what do I expect, this is a very isolated area. The nearest town is like 30 minutes away.

Couldn't shake the feeling of someone staring at me, I walked inside. When I entered I was amazed by the interior. The interior is just like any other house. White walls, cream colored furniture and a beautiful chandelier. So then why does the outside look like it came from a horror movie.

I remembered where my room was so I just headed straight up. I stopped at the door because of a sudden feeling I had in my stomach. Shaking it off I opened the door. The room was bigger than my old room, with grey paint, a walk in bathroom with a closet full of my clothes on the other side. A study table, and a queen sized bed that was right by the window.

I closed the door only to feel a sudden chill. I realized that the window was open so I went to close it. Right as I was about to close the window something caught my eye. It was a girl with long red hair, pale white skin and she was in a short white dress.

We made eye contact for a split second, before she turned away and walked further into the woods. Just then I heard a knock on my door. "Becca can I come in?" I heard my mom's voice from behind the door.

I quickly closed the window and answered "Yeah mom you can". I turned around and saw her walking in with a tray in her hand. It contained a grilled cheese sandwich witch some orange juice.

"Look Becca I'm sorry for hitting you. I know I hurt you so much and I really want to make it up to you". My mom placed the tray on the table and started to approach me. She took my hand and continued. "I realized that you didn't attend the reception either so you haven't gotten anything to eat. So I made you a grilled cheese sandwich". "Thanks mom". I thanked her and went by the table.

When I smelled the sandwich my stomach started to rumble. I didn't realized how hungry I was. I started to devour the sandwich forgetting my mother presence until I heard her clear her throat.

" I know that this is going to take some time getting use to but you will be okay". My mom reassured me. "Mom I'm happy for you I really am but I don't know about all of this". She looked at me with sympathy and kissed me on the forehead.

"We'll discuss this in the morning. Just eat up and get some rest. You have a long week ahead of you, since your gonna start a new school." My mom said as she reached the door. She left me in the room to finish eating. I finished the sandwich and carried my dish to the kitchen and put them in the dish washer.

Once again I feel this horrible feeling that someone is staring at me. I say a small prayer while heading up to my room. Freshen up in the bathroom and got ready for bed. About half an hour later I fell into a deep slumber.

Who did you think was that girl in the woods???
