Every night when everyone fell asleep in Maggie's loving home, Maggie sneakily opened her bedroom window and jumped out on to a fluffy patch of green grass. She ran up the doorsteps of the old abandoned house next door. She turned the doorknob with one hand and in the other she was grasping a candle, book, match, and a blanket to keep her snug on the chilly January night. As she sat down on the wooden floors she held her breath trying not to make any noise.
Usually she would just sit and read. However, she was exhausted from a long day of running with her mom. She began to think about how no one would ever go near the house. The house sat quiet for twenty five years. Every time a realtor came to show the house, strange things would happen. She never experienced anything odd when she was there. She sat there in silence as her mind wandered and then, she fell asleep.
When, she woke up she heard a woman's voice along with the the sound of her own heart beating.
She heard a soft voice whisper from the kitchen, "Hello."
Maggie blew out the candle and left everything there. Maggie ran as fast as she could to her house.
The next day, Maggie and her best friend were sitting on the antique looking swing on her front porch. When they stood up to walk to the backyard they heard a noise. It sounded like music and it was coming from... the house next door! It sounded beautiful yet eerie like the women's voice. She told her friend what happened the night before. Both girls where frightened by the noise. The song was familiar to both of the girls but, they could not remember what it was. They tried to keep their minds occupied on other things but, her friend got so scared she had to leave.
Once Maggie's friend left Maggie sat on her bed and placed her MacBook Air in her lap. She listened to her music on Spotify and fell asleep.
When she woke up she turned off her music. Her curiosity got the best of her. She decided that she would go to the house next door.
