Chapter 6

  "What do you think about that rachel girl?" Sierras dad asked taking his pants off to go to bed.

  "She seems nice, im just glad that Sierra actually has a friend!" She said smiling.

  "Dont you think there is something a little odd about her?" He asked sliping under the covers.

  "I dont know. I mean she does kinda have a weird vibe but as long as Sierra is happy." She said as she turned off the lamp.

  "Your house is so cool!" Rachel said looking curious around Sierras room.

  "No way its boring and old!" Sierra said staring at her ceiling.

  "Thats whats cool!" Rachel said as she carefully touched the cracks on the wall.

  Sierra sat up. "What are you doing?"

  Rachel stayed quiet.

  "Um hello?" Sierra said nervously.

  Rachel turned and stared at Sierra. Her finger slowly raised to her mouth and she signaled Sierra to be quiet and then pointed to the closet.

  Sierra slowly turned to the dark open closet. Her heart was racing a thousand miles an hour. She slowly stood up and walked to the closet. She quickly opened the door but nothing was behind it except for a small doll.

  "What are you doing?"

  Sierra jumped and turned around to see Rachel staring at her in confusion.

  "You were just pointing at the closet and it freaked me out!" Sierra said her heart still beating out of her cheast.

  "Im tired can we go to sleep?" Rachel asked yawning.

  "Y-yeah... Thats probably what I need right now." Sierra said as she walked to her bed and laid down.

  "Sierra!"

  Sierra woke up to Rachel sitting up in the bed shaking her awake.

  "What's going on?" Sierra asked as she sat up rubbing her eyes.

  "I just heard a loud crash come from your closet!" She said almost in tears.

  "Calm down! It is probably just something that fell, go back to sleep." Sierra said a little fussy.

  "Please just check your closet to make sure!" Rachel said now with tears running down her face.

  "Okay okay."

  Sierra only wanted her to go back to sleep so that she didnt have to check what happened in that damned closet.

  Sierra pushed the blankets off and walked to the light. There was no way she was going to look at that closet in the dark.

  When she flicked the light switch nothing happened.

  "The power must be out!" She said in a annoyed voice. "Maybe we should wake my parents up?"

  "Dont be silly! We can just find the power box! It can't be that hard to find!" Rachel said now getting off the bed.

  "Well how will we see?" Sierra asked in confusion.

  Rachel pulled a small flashlight for her robe pocket. "With this. Duh?"

  "Why do you have that?!" Sierra asked once again confused.

  "I was hoping something like this would happen!" She said turning the flashlight on.

  Sierra was always a little creeped out by Rachel but she had no friends so rachel was the only thing she had right now.

  "Your house is so cool!" Rachel squealed as they slowly and quietly walked down the stairs.

  "Yeah. I guess." Sierra said rolling her eyes.

  Rachel looked around very intriguingly. Sierra didn't understand why Rachel was so interested in such a dis-

  Sierra's thought was interrupted when a loud crash came from outside.

  "What was that?!" Sierra whispered feeling very uneasy.

  "Let's go check it out!" Rachel said excited.

  "No way! That's the worst idea!" Sierra said now very scared. "We should get my parents!"

  "Okay. Okay. Fine." Rachel said disappointed.

  Both of them were pretty scared so they tried to get upstairs as fast as they could.

  After Sierra explained what had happened. Her dad got up from the bed and grabbed his gun. "You girls stay here."

  A few minutes passed as they waited. After awhile Sierras dad opened the door very quickly. His face was a ghost white. "Call the cops now!"

  Sierras mom grabbed the phone and started dialing. Sierra and Rachel looked at eachother, both scared out of their minds.

  When the police finally arrived Sierra, Rachel, and Sierras little brother were all staring out the window as their parents were talking with the police.

  Sierra looked over to the ambulance. She noticed them pushing something. It was a body bag. It was filled.
