Amanda set down the final box. It had taken three days to get all the boxes inside. Amanda looked at the clock on the wall, 11:00 PM. She looked around the house, man it was huge! Amanda walked back up to her brand new room to find her younger sister Terri inside looking out the window.
"What are you doing in here!?", Amanda snapped. "Get out and get your own room. And don't come ba--"
"What were you dreaming about?", Terri asked not looking away from the window.
"What do you mean?", Amanda retorted still frustrated with the fact her sister had invaded her privacy.
"In the car", Terri stated still not turning to look at her sister. "Your were tossing and turning in you sleep. Were you having a nightmare?"
"I have an even better question", Amanda replied. "Why do you want to know?"
"I'm just curious", Terri answered as she turned around to leave Amanda room. But she stopped at the doorway and said: "Mom says to get ready for dinner now."
And with that Terri turned tail and left. Amanda walked quietly down stairs to the dining table, which was set up just yesterday. No one spoke much that dinner, after all there was nothing to say.
~~~The Next Day~~~
"AMANDA WAKE UP!", Peter yelled. "OR WERE GONNA BE LATE FOR OUR FIRST DAY."
Amanda grabbed her pillow and slammed it on her head. Peter is so annoying I mean can't a girl get her eight hours of sleep without-- wait. OUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! Amanda shot up, and ran to mirror.
"WHOA!", Amanda exclaimed. "I AM A TOTAL MESS!"
She ran to the bathroom only to find that it was locked. She bashed her fist on the door.
"OPEN UP", Amanda yelled.
"GIVE ME A MINUTE", Peter from the other side of the door. Five minutes later Peter came out fully dressed.
"Took you long enough", Amanda said to Peter before slamming the door and walking inside.
~~~15 minutes later~~~
"HURRY!", Amanda's father yelled from the car. "WE CAN'T BE LATE."
Amanda hurried to the car fully dressed. Followed by Terri and Peter. When everyone was in car Amanda's father quickly stepped on the gas pedal as they zoomed towards their new school. Her father stopped the care in front of a large building. There was a big fountain in the middle of a stone path that lead to the building. Amanda stepped out the care, then Terri and Peter, and finally her father.
"Here it is", Her father said. "My new job. And your new school."
Amanda walked through the large doors and looked around. The halls were empty, with the exception of a few students. Amanda and her family walked over to the main office. Amanda looked around the office. They had some old articles about the murders. Interesting, very interesting. She took one of the articles, it read as follows:
Small town in California hit by a mass murder.
A body count of 49 victims were found dead in Clint,
California after an escapee from the, as the locals call it,
"Hysteria Hall". The escapee was caught and brought
back to the Asylum.
One witness Mary Hoffman who witnessed Marcus Salt's
and death states: "It was crazy, you know. He just at the park
with his younger sister, and next thing I know he's just...
Gone."
Marcus' younger sister, Delia Salt, states: "It was the scariest
moment of my life. I don't understand how someone could do
that."
Like the locals say in this Asylum your mind plays tricks on
you all the time.
