Possessed II: A Rude Awakening

Chapter 1: Happiness

1997; Danielle's POV: Mike comes home from touring today. I've stayed behind lately because we got a dog, a little bulldog named Emma, and she doesn't like being away from Mike and I for an extended period of time.

I kept checking the clock. Mike's flight was supposed to get here thirty minutes ago. Where is he? I got worried. Maybe the plane crashed, maybe it was hijacked. Calm down Danielle, it was probably just delayed. Deep breaths, deep breaths.

"Flight 204 from Columbus Ohio now arriving." Came over the intercom. I quick jumped up from my seat. He's here!

I looked for him through the crowd. After a bit, I spotted his black medical mask and signature fedora. He was holding flowers and a teddy bear. God damn it Michael, you're too cheesy.

I jogged up to him and hugged him. I pulled down the mask and kissed him. "How've you and Emma been?" He asked. "I've been fine. She's still a scaredy cat." I said. Mike chuckled. "Let me guess, you ironed?" He asked. "Yes." I said. We both laughed. Emma's afraid of the ironing board. It squeaks loud when you unfold it, and she's been scared of it. Big bad bulldog, yeah right!

We grabbed his bags and left the airport. When we arrived at Neverland, I could hear Emma barking already. Mike chuckled. I opened the door, and she went nuts. Understandably so, she hasn't seen Mike in months.

"Hey girl!" He said as he scratched her belly, aka her favorite spot. She plopped over and her leg started shaking. We both laughed. I took the bags upstairs while those two played.

When I got into our room, I was confused. My nightstand drawer was open, and all my stuff was thrown onto the floor. It was to high for Emma to reach. Maybe it was one of the maids. I'm going to have to have a talk with them.

"Did Emma have a fit again?!" I heard Michael chuckle from the door. "No. This drawer is too high for her to reach. I think it may have been a maid." I said.

"We can just check the camera." Mike said as he took a camera down from the top right corner of the bedroom. "When and why the hell did you install a camera?!" I asked. "After my ring went missing from my nightstand. It caught the security guard doing that, maybe it caught whoever did this and what they took." He said.

"Smart. As long as it didn't pick up... You know." I said. "Sorry in advance of it did." Mike said with that mischievous grin. "You're weird." I said as I slapped his arm. He laughed...
