Showers were never Taylor's favorite but she always loved baths, when she was little she used to pretend to be a mermaid and her mom always got mad when she splashed all the water over the floor. Taylor always felt the most relaxed when she submerged herself in warm water and even though her parents tried to get her to like showers, trying her that they took less time and they still got her clean but she never listened. When Taylor got home one day her parents had left a note on the fridge.
Taylor- we had to leave for a family emergency,we'll be back late tonight.
Taylor threw the note away and ran upstairs to her room. Taylor invited her friend Grace over for a sleepover and began to clean her room to get ready, when she had cleaned the room to her satisfaction she realized she needed to have a bath before grace arrived, she hadn't washed in a while so it was overdue. She gathered up a towel and some pyjamas to put on when she was clean. Taylor waited for the water to fill the tub and as she did she searched for her apple scented bath salts that she had gotten from her aunt. Taylor poured the salts into the bath water and turned off the water, she slowly got undressed and stepped into the tub submerging herself in the warm apple scented water. Just as Taylor was starting to relax the lights in the bathroom went out. She thought it was a power outage but she could see light coming from under the doorway so the hall lights were still on. "Must be the lights in here, maybe they burned out" she thought as she continued to relax in the bathtub. Just as he was starting to get comfortable again she saw something in the corner of her eye, something,or someone was in here with her. The creature moved closer to the bathtub and got in on the opposite side of it. Taylor began to get out of the tub but realized the spirit had done nothing to harm her. She looked at it closely as her eyes adjusted, it was a little girl in old clothes. "You're cold aren't you?" Taylor asked. The little girl nodded and Taylor began to relax again, she didn't mind sharing the bath.
