Chapter 8

I felt the blanket ripped off of my warm and toasty body.

"Wake up sleepy head!" an excited voice called for my from what sounded like my left. I looked up to see my aunt exactly where I thought she was, on my left.

~ flash back ~

After seeing the twins in the hallway I was horrified, I ran downstairs. I ran to the closet next to the guest room, and I pulled out a white knitted blanket. The blanket was so soft, it felt and looked liked snow. I then ran to the living room and wrapped myself in a ball of blanket on the couch.

I spotted the TV remote on the end table in front of me. I poked my arm out of the blanket and reached for it. I turned the TV on and turned to volume down low. I changed the channel to cartoons. After a half hour or so of terrified thoughts and trying to calm my own mind, I somehow finally managed to fall asleep.

~ End of Flashback ~

It was darker in the room than before I fell asleep. I looked around observing the room. I must of looked like I had no idea on earth where I was. My Aunt Tracy gave me a concerned look.

"Hey hun, guess what? I'm done with work, and it looks like you're just about done waking up here soon. Don't worry its not as late as usual. Its almost five o'clock. I got off of work early just so I could check up on you." She smiled the sweetest smile in the world, and in that same second I saw my mother and everything that resembled her, in my aunt.

"I'm glad you're back, I don't know what's going on around here.The supernatural creepy things only seem to happen when you're not around." I spoke with a raspy, sleepy voice while rubbing the sleep out of my awakening eyes.

"Well, good afternoon to you too haha!" she giggled joyfully, "sounds like you had some fun."

"Not really haha," I smiled and giggled a little back.

"So you up for a game night?" she asked cheerfully.

"If it'll take my mind off things for a while I'm up for it," I ranted gleefully.

Setting up the games we're going to play took a while, but I was ready to have some real fun. Little did I know what was going to happen...

~ Time Skip ~

"Your turn sweetheart!" she giggled after she finished her turn.

"Okay," I smiled excitedly. I took the monopoly dice and rolled them. Six... and three, that's what I rolled. One.. Two.. Three.. Four.. Five.. Six.. Seven.. Eight! I landed on a 'community chest space.' I reached for a card and flipped it over, but I wasn't quite expecting what it said. It couldn't actually in no humanly possible way say that. Unless my aunt wrote it, but she would never mess with me like that. It was a brand new board game too. She bought it on her way back from work today.

"GO TO JAIL!" was written in capital letters with a red crayon on the card. The card had originally said "get out of jail" but I guess those rules had changed. I put the card on my pile, I wasn't going to follow the bitchy little command that someone wrote on the card to threaten me, was I?

"Your turn," I looked over to my aunt and grinned kindly.

But I guess whatever it was, wanted me to play that card that I picked up, and they wanted me to play it their way.

The wind outside picked up. I could hear the wind chimes making sound on the porch. They increased and kept increasing in speed a little more and more every couple seconds. My aunt go up and walked to the window. The wind stopped. All went quiet... The light above me burst into tiny pieces of glass. It exploded all over the table. The light on the lamp was still on. My mind was telling me to run, it was telling me to get the hell out of there. But i didn't listen to it one bit. And i regret it.

The community chest cards started to float up in the air, next the dice and game pieces flew up too. All the doors throughout the house started slamming shut and opening again and slamming shut again. At the same time, the cards flew at the wall behind me. I thought for sure that they would hit me. But what ever was doing all this didn't want me to die just yet.

The table started to float in mid air, it then was launched at the wall in front of me. Cabinets started opening and slamming shut, dishes on the counter flew on the floor. Then the power went completely out. A cup flew at my head, and thats the last thing I remember seeing.
