Haunting Love

New House

It was a stormy cold night. Luckily I had my fire place on. Only the sounds of the burning wood cracking under the loud thunder.

It was a... Quiet neighborhood, but I didn't mind at all. Although there were some freaks, it didn't bother me so much. It felt interesting yet excited to walk in new halls. The house was very old, my grandparents built it when I was only a few months old. My mother wasn't so pleased hearing that I moved in. She had said it was old and that I wouldn't like it. She was so wrong, I don't understand why she didn't like my grandparents. I just brushed that thought off my shoulders and decided to explore the new house. I walked upon the dust on the floor and shelfs, then I thought to myself "tomorrow I should start cleaning this house. Who knows what mysteries I would find". I stopped in my tracks in front of an old looking picture. It was my grandmother, she was beautiful back in the day. I sent a slight blow, blowing the dust off as I stared at the picture. I slowly became fond of that picture, I don't know what or why but somehow that picture felt special to me. My attention quickly got taken by a loud crack of the wooden floor. I just shook my head and rubbed my eyes as I felt my eyelids just growing heavier. Then I took a deep breath turning around and start making my way up the stairs, but then I remembered the fire place was still burning. I groand as I turned back around heading to the fire place. All what was heard were the creaking floor and as I got closer to the fire place the cracking and the crackling was heard too, and all was covered by the harsh wind and lighting. Once I put the fire out I turned around and made my way back to my bedroom.

The room was quiet and the storm was much more calmer than before. Just as I was about to get dress in my pajamas. My eye caught something.. Someone.. I quickly rushed to my window but the moment I looked out.. No one was there, I then thought "it must just be my mind playing tricks me". Even if I thought that.. I couldn't get that off my mind. Closing the blindfolds and got dressed. I walked over to the side of the bed and sat down. I looked back at the time seeing how late it was before looking aty hands deep in thought. What if there was someone. What if this place was a popular murder location. I shook my head and whispering to myself " come on, Nikki. Your just overreacting and maybe a little nervous " once again taking a deep breath before laying down and pulling the blanket over my cold body. Leaning over I turned off the light, lying in complete darkness, all light that was there was the moon light coming through a strip the blindfolds didn't cover. My mind was still going through an episode, as my mind was running I dozed off. My breath slowed and I was completely asleep. The room was quiet and the only sounds was my breath and soft lighting.
