The House On Beverly Lane

Chapter 3: The discovery

A few minutes passed by.

"Emily me and your dad are heading out for a minute and your brothers coming too!" my mom yelled up the stairs.

"okay!" I replied.

After my mom left I ran down stairs looking behind them waiting for them to pull out of the driveway.

I ran back upstairs to my room waiting and waiting for the figure to come back. but it didn't.

So I went to see what the other room looked like. I stopped by my brothers room and it looked like mine but smaller and it had a portrait of a little boy. I then went to my parents room.  as I made my way to the door I saw that blue light again. before I knew it  the light went away just like before.

I opened the door and nothing. Nothing was there but a bed,a dresser, and a portrait of that  lady again. as I looked and studied the portrait I saw that there was a name in small print. Mary.

All of a sudden I turned around and there it was that gray figure . it did the same thing from before it walked up to me. but this time it shocked me.  as it came closer to me it started to clear up. I could see who it was.

It was Mary the lady in the portrait. she had something in her hand. A piece of paper. she stopped walking and began to write something on the paper.

 as she wrote in some kind of red ink it began to drip like blood.

she handed me the note, as I went to grab it my hands were shaking rapidly.

I looked at the note to see what it said. My eyes grew large as I read it out loud.

it read: GET OUT!!

I dropped the paper and tried to run away but I slipped and fell.

I looked back to see that she was gone. all that was there was  dust that outlined where she was.  

 finally after 2 whole hours! my parents decided to come home.

I ran down stairs and tripped a couple of times on the way down.

"honey are you okay, you look like you've seen a ghost or something"

" I'm ... it's just...it's complicated..I'll tell you all about it on the road back to Florida!"

before my parents could reply we heard a piano playing upstairs.

but we dont have a piano....

We all stopped what we were doing. 

I knew Who and what it was.

And the rest of my family were about to find out.

-few minutes pass by-

The piano stops.

As we all stood there in silence we started to hear the stairs creek, but they only creek when someone is walking on them, or in this case something.

As the noise drew closer we looked at each other trying to think of what

we should do.

I don't know if I was seeing things but as I looked closer I could see bloody footprints leading down the stairs.

"does anyone else see the bloody footprints" I whisper in a confused voice

"no" my dad says in a weird way

"no" my mom says in a terrified voice

"your just crazy, like always" my brother says in his annoying voice

So our dumb selves just stand there like an idiot instead of running but hey you cant really run from a ghost.

Before I knew it the shadowy figure or should I say Mary appeared again and you know what that means.

It came up to us and said "shhhh" and disappeared.

my mom and dad stood there with their jaws to the ground and my brother runs to get to my mom.

"SEE I TOLD YOU GUYS I WASENT CRAZY!! "

"what was that?" my mom asked while breathing rapidly.

"Its probably one of her stupid pranks!" says my brother

-I look at him...pretending that im strangling him in my mind-

"yea right..I brought a ghost in the house and made it haunt me then try to kill us.. good one issac"

"Lucy ..WHAT IS IT!" my mom says while she turns completely red.

"Mom, Dad, don't freak out when I say this, its a ghost" I say hoping they don't yell at me.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN A GHOST LUCY!" my dad yells

"too late" I say under my breath.

"okay you might not understand but Just wait for 30 more minutes" I say surely that she will come back.

-30 minutes pass by-

Just as I predicted the shadowy figure aka Mary shows up again and everyone starts to freak out.

But it wasn't time for it to clear up to show who it was. It came back up to us, but this time she went to my brother.

I was confused at what she was doing.

"shhh" it said. But this time instead of just disappearing it grabbed my brother and vanished.
