                       MAVIS BYERS pushed back her jet black hair which was hanging in front of her face, as soon as she Looked up she saw Her idol, Madonna, with a mic singing As she looked at her, with a soft smile she leaned over to the foot of her bed that is pushed into a wall with a window above, she flicks on her radio the sound of a guitar plays through the speakers as she nods her head and leans back over to her black old typewriter, she takes a deep breathe as she slowly begins to type, when she gets to the end of the plague she pushes it along and continues to write, a small light sits next to her shining brightly, she hums the tune as she writes,

A dog rubs against her legs As the wind knocks at her window making her shiver and smile, she grabs her blanket and warps it around her hoping to keep warm, Mavis hated the cold, she was more of the summer person, she swung her legs as she was only 4,9 which was normal for a kid her age, she wasn't unknown, she had a few bullies, same goes for her twin brother and his friends, sometimes they invite Mavis around to play d and d with them,

she slides out of her chair still keeping her blanket around her as she slowly walks down the hall and into the kitchen and grabs a pop tart packet and a clean cup, she grabs a tea bag and places it into the cup before adding milk and sugar before placing it under the tape and turns it on allowing the cup to be filled with warm water, as soon as she done that she walks over to the microwave and places the cup and closes the door before setting a time and walking to the toaster that was really in need of a reboot, she opens the pack and places them both in, and waits for them to pop up, she looks at the clock with a sigh,

"Where are you, mum gonna be mad" she whispers even though the boy can't hear her, she shakes her head and turns her attention back to the toaster as her dog bark making her Shh him before looking back at the toaster seeing two things popped up revelling two pop tarts with steam coming off them with a grin she grabs them both and throws them onto a plate before walking to the microwave carefully takes the cup out and grabs a spoon and takes the tea bag out and presses it against the side before throwing it into the bin,

she walks back to her room holding the cup in one hand and the plate between her teeth in her other hand was keeping her blanket around her, as soon as she gets to her door she kicks it open with her foot before slowly walking in and shutting it with her foot, she walks back to her desk and places the cup of tea onto the table before taking the plate from in between her lips and placing that on the other side of the table before sliding into her spinning chair, she reads through what she was writing, before grabbing a pencil and fixing up some mistakes before she continues to write,

she carefully pulled the first paper away from the typewriter with a grin before placing it in her notebook that she made by herself, the things about Rowen were the brightest kid of her age, or so her teachers say, she grabbed a few more papers before slipping one in and begin typing again, the sound of the keys typing makes her smile, she slowly bites and sips at her food and drink, her eyes never leaving the paper she was working on,


Mavis wakes up to a loud bang and barking making her body jump as a cold but dark feeling wash over her body, She blinks as she looks around noticing the room is darker, She slides out from her chair and Switches the light on, making the bulb flicker, before going pitch black, she grabs her Flashlight and shines it over her room, Before walking out of the room keeping her light held high, a gust of cold air Flys towards her making the young girl shiver,

She Looks around the corner seeing the door is unlocked and opened, She tilted her head, as the dog continued to bark

"Will? Your back?" She shouts getting no responses, She frowns as she Shuts the door locking it not wanting anymore cold air in the house, She Shakes her head and walks back to her room, She flops down onto her chair. She Grabs a walkie talkie from the side and switches it on

"Mike? It's mavis" she softly says though the speaker, she gets nothing back,

"mav what" Mike replied as the young girls grins

"Is will staying with you tonight?" She asked As she waits for a response

"No...why he isn't home?" Mike asked as Rowen Sighs

"I'll go check his room," she says as she gets up and walks to the hallways and to the door that faces her she slowly opens seeing his bed perfectly made, untouched,

"Yeah hes home, I didn't hear him come in" mavis chuckles as she Looks into the room, Hoping to play it off "oh good! I'll see you both tomorrow" mavis nods as she Turns the radio off, A sigh slipping through her lips, that was the last thing mavis Byers knew... her twin brother was missing
