Chapter 16

Dad had us me Cindy Rick Jonas and Hershey drives up father from town more into the woods to cabin
Strange I know it was 10pm
He said because he didn't want no one to see anything strange happening or coming from the box. He didn't want the neighbors to think something was wrong he had waited until bed time to gather us to the car he lied to Mrs Taylor that he taking Cindy home but taking me with him Rick and Jonas sneak up with him by the pond where the he told us to meet up earlier
We got into cabin house he told us to bring some things to put in the box that had some meaning but not lot of stuff of meaning that we be sad if we put it into a box never see it again
Knowing my dog wasn't my dog had me thinking while we was driving up here was my dad really my dad and what if Sylvia comes out differently too she already been gone for half the day and why didn't that dog answer my brother question who actually the lady in the box was it my aunt or was it my grandmother
Dad placed the box on a table we all stood in living room so Rick you and Jonas is going to stay out here be like gatekeeper you going to make sure we get out of the box
Which is crazy giving Rick responsibility didnt he cause enough time wasted
Everyone has things with them in there pocket yes we all said separately looking frantically in our pockets our pockets was heavy with some things dad grabbed a candled
I held onto Hershey this time he wasn't going anywhere's he kept crying poor dog but you not my dog I can't keep talking dog
I watch dad place the box on small stand up tv table he draw a circle around the box light the candles
When I was younger I was depressed really bad my aunt gave me this box she told me to use it wisely at first I didn't think smart I used to put tons of stuff in the box I wrote everything down every date he pulled cards from his pocket he opened the box easy my mother was dying of cancer I was afraid of losing her I took this little box every where I went even to all hospital visits every single time she was laying down she smiling she was talking I cut a piece of her hair which was a big mistake she got transferred into the box that is when I knew the box was a curse because everything in that hospital that night went mad light was changing you can see whatever who put stuff in there but that day the box was angry he shutted me out the hospital room I woke up in the woods the next day i couldn't find your grandma I just knew something was off somebody or nurse said she passed some says she disappeared she never came back
Dad I said it wasn't your fault
Well he said I know but things you will see and the things you feel two different things son I blame myself for putting my mother in the box
Yeah I said but if she didn't go she still had went either way you keeping her memory alive you can't blame yourself forever you was young you wanted your mother
I did until I saw things in the box Hershey was wiggling he wanted to get freed from he yelled please sir don't send me back I I'll promise I'll be good dog dad graves him Cindy he said hold your brother hands remember what I told you Rick don't let anybody in here or don't let anybody that not us out the box
Gotcha sir Jonas you stay with your brother and make sure he doesn't fall asleep
