Whisper in the Dark

Chapter 1

    The mansion that Mr. and Mrs. Johnson owned was indeed creepy. The floor boards ached and moaned, whenever someone stepped on them. The upstairs was even worse, the steps creaked with every step, and the rugs had stains that looked like blood. The chandeliers swung from time to time, seeming to be moving on their own. Most windows were tinted from the outside, so what ever went on inside was never seen. The mansion was isolated on the outskirts of the little town, very little activity ever happened there. Big trees were filled with night creatures who cried in the night, making the mansion seem dark and infested with strange objects.

    The noises were never a bother for Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, they had lived in the mansion for 45 years. They were used to the strange occurrences that played on in their home. The reason for their quietness of the place was to be able to finally get away from it. The vacation was for retirement but they were exhausted from having to care for the boy, who was trapped inside the walls. He would push down plates, misplace shoes, take special belongings and down right be a pest. The couple was fed up with the boy so they figured this vacation would benefit them. They would leave and have the caretaker they hired to figure out how to get rid of him, but they said nothing about the boy. They didn't want her to reject the job.

    "Have fun my dear and don't be afraid to call and check in." Mrs. Johnson said waving from the taxi cab. She smiled her fragile little smile before disappearing into the car. Mr. Johnson waved back too before he shut her door, walked to the other side and disappeared too.

    Autumn smiled and waved back to the old couple before closing the door behind her. She wasn't given a proper tour of the mansion yet, so she decided to explore on her own. Her brother Fletcher would be coming later because he had to work a day shift. He was a firefighter for their small town fire station, called West Ways Town.

    "My brother was right, this place gives me the creeps just a little." Autumn spoke to herself, glancing at all the portraits and vases that lined the house walls. She searched for the light switch to the big chandelier that hung down from the ceiling, but she couldn't find one. The house was dark, but she was still able to see from the little sunlight that pushed its way through the tinted windows.

    She walked through the room with the chandelier, brushing her fingers softly against the railings to the stairs. She was curious to see what was up there but she wanted to wait for her brother. She didn't feel right being alone, she could feel a presence that she had never felt before and she was afraid. She had only been wandering the house for a few minutes and she felt a pair of eyes watching her every move. She said nothing as she moved away from the stairs, walking into the living room to sit and wait on the couch. She pulled her phone out and put her headphones in so she could block out whatever she felt.

    Her brother wouldn't be coming for a while, so she sat there listening to music and drowning the world out with it. Her best friend Jennifer was also suppose to be coming soon but she wouldn't be coming until, it was pitch dark outside.

    "I hope Jennifer doesn't get lost." Autumn whispered to herself, looking around quietly, sinking into the couch. She didn't want whatever the presence was to come and make contact with her, so she kept to herself in a little ball until she got a text from her brother.
