The Haunting At The Crystal Lakehouse

Chapter 3: Sold

At school all I could think about was The Crystal Lakeside house and I couldn't wait to explore and have party's in that big house, ohh maybe I could have my grad-

"Hey Mitchell," said Emily.

"Hey Em," I said still lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Emily asked. Not wanting to explain again after already explaining to my friends I just said something simple

"Thinking about what I'm going to wear to grad," I said

"OMG I totally forgot! We have to match!" She said excitedly

"We have too what?" I said

"We have to match! Remember we are going together and if we go together and I wear an elegant purple dress with a white sparkly belt and you wear a green and black suit everyone will look at us funny, that would be embarrassing!" She said so fast I could barely keep up!

"Does that mean your wearing purple?" I asked

"No not at all! That was just an example!" She said

"Okay then I think I'll just let you handle all that!" I said

"Really! Wonderful we are going to look amazing! Thanks!!!," she said

"I don't mind at all," I said as she bent down kissed my cheek and walked over to her friends and I went over to my friends who didn't say anything, they all just sat there, smirking.

When I got home my mom handed me a can of ravioli

"Eat because we are leaving soon!" She said and walked off to finish her hair!

Once I finished the can I slipped on my shoes and ran a comb through my hair and ran into the car to get going.

When we approached the house I felt like I was being pulled into it, like it wanted me to be there. I guess it must be fate and for a moment before my feet started dragging me towards the house I just stopped to stare at the double doors I was about to enter, because this would be the first of many times I was going to walk through that door, I knew Mom already loved it and so did Michelle, all we needed was Dads approval!

Right when you walked in the house your breath was taken away, a story up held a huge crystal chandelier over the entrance, right in front of you was a beautiful spiral staircase, to the left looked like a ballroom or in my case a party room, to the right might be a living room but it was big enough to be an ice rink, walking through the living room lead to a huge kitchen leading to a dining room off to the left basically behind the ballroom and in the dining room was smaller chandelier and a door that lead to the basement which was split into two ginormous rooms with a gap in the wall attaching them. Up the spiral stairs were two hallways with five normal sized rooms lined down each two on the left side, two on the right, and one at the end and they all came with there own mini bathroom!

"So Mr. and Mrs. Leirochee, what do you think?" asked the real-estate lady

"I think it's wonderful!," said my mom

"And Mr. Leirochee?" She asked turning her body to face him

"I think there is to much space, we are a family of four thinking of living in a house made for an Army!" He said more to my mother

"But Mike think of all the space the kids will have to run in the back yard, we will finally be able to host parties for our friends and family and think we will have this paid off so fast we can go on vacation!" She said pleadingly

"But sweet heart, what about the cleaning?" He said

"What about it? We will hire a maid maybe a few," she said excitedly and we all knew that once she has her mind set on something it is absolutely impossible to change!

My dad turned towards the real-estate lady and nodded as she pulled out her phone

"Fantastic, you will have 64 days to move in so we can start getting your house on the market and I will come over tomorrow with the paper work!" she said happily and walked away to call someone, probably her boss.

"Ok go find what room you want, and we will go find ours," our mom said shooing us off in the opposite direction then they were going to. they picked the one at the end of the right hallway that was slight bigger in the bedroom and much bigger in the bathroom. I picked the bedroom at the very end of the left hallway and Michelle picked the one to the left of it wanting to be close to me!

That night my dreams weren't as bad but still scary but I noticed that in my dream our new house was the only safe place I could go, maybe once move there they will go away until then nothing but my dark ceiling, moonlit window and sleepless nights for me!
