Killer or lover (250 word, ghost story)

Nala and her family of five got out of their car and walk towards the gate of their new house.
"That house is hunted, I think you should know that!" A creepy old man said. Nala's family didn't know if he was telling the truth or not. They walked into the house to unpack.

One hour later.

The family had just unpacked when they all went downstairs to the living room. They were playing monopoly when all of a sudden the was a scream from upstairs. There was no one else in the house so the family started to panic.
"Wha... Wha... What was that?" Nala said.
"Nala. Go check!" He farther said in a vicious tone. She walks upstairs to be met by another scream. It's coming from her room.
"Great, just my luck." She walked into her room when a figure appeared from the floor. "Gh... Gh... Ghost!" The ghost moved towards Nala.
"Get out of my room!" The ghost yelled. It reached its arms towards Nala and wrapped it's hands around her neck. It started to squeeze it's hand harder, she was having trouble breathing. The ghost wasn't letting go and she didn't think it was planning on it either. All of a sudden everything went black, she was killed.
She jolted up and looked around. The ghost had taken a human form. She snuggled into James not wanting to let go.
"You would never hurt me, would you?"
"No, I love you!"
"I love you too."
