The Dancing Princess

First Encounter

My house had a dance studio in the basement for my practice. It had wooden floors, a few wall bars, and floor to wall length mirrors on two walls without the bars. The stairs led down to the room was in a large wooden spiral in the far corner. The stairs led up to a semi long hallway that led from the basement to the rest of the house including the living room and kitchen. The living room was you could enter into through the alarmed arc entry way, had a set if stairs going straight up to the second floor which had my foster mom's room and my room. It was a normal house on the side of a cliff, well at least that's what I thought till one day I was choked by a ghost

This is what happened. I was in the kitchen re-filling my water bottle after a long dance practice. I filled my water bottle up but before heading back down stairs I moved around the house, practicing my dance moves within the different rooms. The dance started off with a slide then I moved to a double hip curve, a cross the arm dip, and was about ready to do a half twirl into a dip when I heard a crash come from the hallway.

The hallway was dark because no lights were on. Currents my foster mom, Arianna, and I were the only ones in the house while my foster dad, Rick, was on a business trip in Toronto. I knew Arianna wa upstairs doing laundry since you could hear the machines slight growls and shakes. Arianna and Gary had moved the laundry machine up to her room so that thy could build the studio in the basement. I started walking down te hallway in search of the cause of the noise when suddenly hands wrapped around my neck, choking away at my airway.

I clawed at the hands but there was nothin there, but I could my throat suddenly being squeezed together. My head felt faint and I gasped for breath. Nothing seemed to work and I was losing the will to keep fighting. The "hands" tightened on my neck, I kept clawing but nothing happened. With the loss of air I fell to the ground in a large thud. The hands pulled away allowing air to enter my body. I continued to gasp for air until I fell into unconsciousness.

The last thing I remember was seeing Arianna running towards me.
