Miller House

The End

Reese didn't show Stephanie what was behind his back and when she got up from the bed, the boy didn't move. That's when Stephanie heard it, laughing or was it shouting? She couldn't make out any words. "Reese lets get you back to bed." Stephanie said as she suppressed the urge to scream. There was something happening and she didn't know what it was. She also needed Reese to go back to bed. As she turned the boy around he screamed bringing his right hand forward. A sharp pain formed in Stephanie's leg. "Ahhh!!" She yelled as her hands went to her thigh. She felt blood as her hands touched the spot. She didn't get much time to react when Reese attacked again. "Evil woman" he said as he swung his arm again. This time Stephanie caught the young boys hand. In his hand was a fork covered in blood. Her blood. "Reese snap out of it." Stephanie said as she took the fork from the strangely strong boy.

In the distance Stephanie faintly heard the beeping of her alarm clock. Snapping her head towards the sound, she realized she was laying in her bed, the sun just peeking threw the curtains.
"That was all a dream?" She asked herself as she ran her hands over eyes clearing the sleep from them.  She pulled the blanket off as she heard the murmurs of Leland on the monitor. "Well time to get up." She stood up as a sharp burning pain edged it's way up her leg. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Stephanie lifted her pant leg. "It wasn't a dream." She muttered as she stared at the fork marks that ran up her left thigh.

The sound of Leland murmuring brought Stephanie back to her feet. She went to the boys room and opened the door. Leland stood against the rails a huge smile on his face when he saw her. Stephanie lightly laughed and walked over to him. She carefully picked the baby up. He instantly wrapped his fingers in her hair bringing the fistful to his mouth. "Hey now don't eat my hair." She chuckled as she carried the boy down the stairs. The sound of cartoons greeted them at the bottom.

Neither kid looked at Stephanie as she came in the living room and placed Leland on the floor. She had already changed him upstairs and now needed to get him some food. "Do you guys want some cereal?" Stephanie asked.

Reese and Sasha nodded their heads. "Yes please" they said. Stephanie eyed Reese carefully there didn't seem to be anything off about him today. He acted the same as the day before. She got them the cereal and came back with a bowl of baby food. All kids ate. "What do you guys want to do before your parents get home?" Stephanie asked them. Reese and Sasha turn to each other a mysterious glint forming in their eyes. "Hide and seek." They say in unison.    

The parents returned home to a frantic teenager. They listened patiently to her frantic story of terror. "Oh good my dear." They said to each other. "He has prepared her for us." Turning back to Stephanie she saw the frightening smiled slowly spreading across their blank faces. 

"But. ... But my family. My boyfriend. He is coming to get me." Stephanie stammers as she slowly backs away.

"Oh good." Was the last thing she heard clearly.
