October the 22nd me , my father and my brother , harry , moved to California. Dad turned the engine off as we arrived at our new home , it looked like a mansion . " how could dad afford this ?" i whisperd the harry ,

"remember he used the last of the money he got from mums will to buy this house as a fresh start for us all ." I stormed over the dad with a face like thunder ! " you used the last of the money mum left us ?!?! " i shouted ,

" hunny just listen ......" he mumbled

" no dad , ive been listning to everyone since mum died , now its time for you to listen to me ! " i stormed into the house salmming the door behind me .

I started to wander around the house , i just went looking for the biggest room since harry and dad were still outside unpacking the car . " Mum would have loved this house " i said to myself .I  slowly walked down to the end of the hallway to a old oak door with scratches on the end . I stopped as i got it , as i placed my hand on the golden door knob i heard someone whispering in my ear  " dontt go in , she will get you " i felt a cold shiver creep down my spine . The light flickerd behind me and then cut off all together. With my hand still clenched on the door knob , i felt a presence behind me ....... A hand touched my shoulder , i froze .

" Dad said you should come and get your stuff from the car ." he said with a weird look in his eye ,

"Oh , yeahh .... right " i mumbled ,

" sis you alright ? " he asked , i stared blankly into harrys eyes and then just barjed past him walking down the creeky spiral stairs . Harry stared at the door for a while before getting called down by dad . 

" C' mon kids , help me prepare for dinner !! " dad shouted as he leaned on the dusty oak railing of the stairs. Suddenly i heard a slight cracking noise coming from down stairs , it was the railings , they had crushed dad  and fell on top of him. i rapidly ran down the stair case, shouting harrys name . My heart was in my throat , i couldnt stop the tears flowing from my tear ducts . I cried out for him ,   his eyes fluttering , blood pouring out from the back of his head. Harry came strolling in and his eyes burst open when he saw our father on the floor in so much pain. " Come on dad , get up ! " he shook dads shoulders trying to make him wake from a 'sleep' , he curled up on the floor in a ball crying and shouting out his name. 

"Dad im sorry for shouting at you earlier , i didnt mean it ..." suddenly i looked up and everything became hazy . i looked up at the door and it was wide open and in the door way was a mysterious figure of a girl with brown ratty hair and a dirty face with a young school girls uniofrm on .
