Shivers [ON HOLD]

[10] School

Happy reading xx

-Alyssa's POV-

Weeks have gone by and nothing has happened to me so far. All that happened was me staying in bed all day and missing school. I was 2 weeks from getting off the crutches. Apparently, my fractured bone is healing much faster than usual which is weird.

I decided to go to school knowing that I'd learn nothing from staying home all day and worrying about the worst case scenarios that could happen to me anytime.

I walked over to my locker and pulled out a small piece of paper which contained my locker combination. I inserted it and opened it up.

I screamed as I saw what the inside of my locker held. It was a picture of me with blood coming out every freaking where. I ran my finger across the blood and realised it was real.

I stared at my finger in shock as my body trembled with fear.

"Hello there!"

I jumped and looked at the direction the voice came from.

"Why were you staring at your finger and screaming? You drew quite a lot of attention." the person said.

I stared at the girl and back at my finger but the blood was gone. Shocked, I checked my locker and the picture was gone too.

What the hell?

"Oh..uhh..that was nothing. I just saw a cockroach earlier that climbed onto my finger." I lied.

"You're not a very good liar." She announced.

Who is she?

"I'm Joan by the way. You must be Alyssa. Nice to meet you." She greeted and stuck her hand out.

I shook it and brought my hands back to my side still shocked.

I took a quick look at the girl. She had dark hair and stunning green eyes. I swear she looks familiar.

She kinda looks like Cara. (A/N:- They're fraternal twins not identical.)

Yes I know that.

"I know you're new here, why don't I show you around." She offered.

I smiled and accepted.

We walked around the whole school and it was a nice school. They had different labs, a very classy library, a huge gym and an auditorium. Joan was really nice. She introduced me to her friends Leanne and Jayden.

We were walking back to the east wing using the back staircase when goosebumps erupted on my skin. A chill ran down my spine and I knew someone is watching me. Suddenly, Joan stopped in her tracks.

"Aly, why don't we use the middle staircase instead?" She said and immediately gestured to follow her.

Hold on. The dots are connecting. She knew I was lying earlier, she was afraid and dragged me to the middle staircase. Why would she be afraid? Unless,

She could see things too.

"Don't question. Just listen to me." Joan ordered.

"You can see too right?" I asked. She stopped and turned to stare at me.

"You said 'too' so I'm assuming you can as well."

"Yes. I can." I replied honestly.

"I know how you feel."

No you don't.

"I know. It sucks." I replied with a chuckle.

Since Joan and I had the same ability, I told her about the whole house and what happened. She said she knew about the Freddy and Rebecca story. It wasn't that long ago which explains why they're still in the house.

"So, how is it?"

"It sucks. They're after my family and the paranormal hunters that came to investigate our house." I replied.

"Well, I think I know what's happening."

"What?"

"First, is anyone hurt?"

"Uhh..me?" I pointed at my crutches.

"Right. Okay, so what's going on here is that you have invaded their home. Its pretty obvious they're still in there. They're pissed that you invaded their safe haven. So, they are ought to get you. All they want is their sanctuary and when you moved in, it must have triggered them."

"But-"

"I'm not finished." Joan cut me off.

"You see, after the whole burning of the house incident, the house got rebuilt because Xavier rented the house, not bought it. So, in other words, the property belongs to someone else. After they died in there, they marked the house as their territory so when the actual owners of the house wanted to rebuild it, shit happened. Everything they did to fix the house got ruined the next day. Therefore, they gave up on rebuilding and abandoned it. In the end, they sold the house to you guys." she continued.

"Why would they sell us that house if they knew it was haunted?"

Joan patted my shoulder and gave me a sad smile.

"This my friend, is called greed."
