Dan's P.O.V

"Mom, do we really have to move here."

I get out of the car, raising an eyebrow as I observed the older house that was in front of me.

"No wonder you got it cheap someone clearly died in here."

My mother looked at me as she got out of the car, giving me a disappointing expression, but than smiling "isn't it beautiful, it's so unique and old fashioned." Her brown eyes sparkled just looking at it.

While I just looked at it with a displeased expression on his face.

In all honestly I didn't want to move, I wanted to stay where my friends were and get drunk and party that's all I needed.

A year ago my Dad past away and since than I've apparently been out of control as my mother would like to say.

She thinks it was all because of my Dad passing away, yeah I missed him a lot. Yeah I would do anything to get him back. Yeah I've started trying to new things since he passed, but it wasn't because of him.

His death made me realize something, that I'm slowly going to lose everyone I care about, so what's even the point of trying with things and getting close to people.

I give one more glance to the house and just let out a loud sigh.

"This house is cursed!" I hear a voice behind me and my mom, we both turn around. Seeing an older lady with blonde hair, it seemed to not be brushed in days and she wore an old night gown.

I turn to my mum, "That's a sign that this was a mistake and that we should turn back now and just go to our actual home." I state with a smile.

"I'm sure this house isn't a curse the rumors aren't true" My mother smiled as she spoke to the older lady.

"Rumors?" I say.

"You didn't tell the boy.. well" she begins.

"He doesn't need to know useless rumors, now if you could leave us alone-"

"You won't make it out of the house dearie, no one does. They all die." She states looking into my eyes, seeming like she was reading my mind or tearing into my soul.

"Can you please leave, he doesn't need to hear that"

The old lady shrugged "When you end up dead, you can't say I didn't warn you." She says and walks off.

I look at my mom, "Why didn't you tell me any of this?!"

"I didn't want to scare you Daniel"

"So you make me move away from my friends to go to a house that apparently I'm going to get murdered in!!" I shout at her.

"Look, this is the cheapest house I could find in this town and-"

"Whatever" I interrupted her and walk to the back grabbing some boxes before storming off into the old, house.

I walk in and set the boxes down, I look up the stairs and see a figure running off towards the hallways.

"Hello?" I shout and start to run up the stairs.

I hear giggling, seemingly a young child's giggle.

"Who's there?" I shout as I look around the hallways, trying to find out who was here.

"You're not supposed to be here this is trespassing" I shout again.
