Malevolent

Part Twelve

"What do you mean that you didn’t hire any babysitter?", Liam asked shockingly.

Liam wasn't the only one confused around here. His dad was too. Daniel and Timmy were too so as the girls. Everyone was confused.

"What do you mean that I hired a babysitter?", Mike replied to Liam's question in a question.

Daniel and Timmy seemed to be murmuring something to each other. They were looking at Raimonda's bed.

"Dad", Timmy called. "Why is Mom here?". Daniel and he weren't at the house when the whole incident happened. They would scream like chickens if they were home back then.

"She cut her hand while she was chopping some onions", Mike replied. "It's not a big deal".

Mike didn't feel like telling the boys what exactly happened because if he did, he knew that they would never shut up. They would keep asking and asking until they drop dead.

"A few moments later after you left the house, a lady had came to our house and told us that she's the new babysitter that you hired for us", Liam started explaining. "She said that you called her and told her to come and take care of us until you and Mom could come back".

Mike didn't know what to say. He was about to speak but the words got stuck in his throat. He was so as confused as someone solving a math equation.

"What was her name?", Mike asked. He sat on a chair next to Raimonda's bed and started swinging back and forth. And back and forth.

Liam opened his mouth to speak but Christina interrupted him. "Her name was Dorothy Swan", Christina answered instead of Liam. "She's really creepy, Daddy. She locked me in the kitchen and she was scrambling something on our kitchen wall".

"We have to call the police!", Mike stood up. He was terrified as hell. It seems like problems are following them wherever they go.

"By the way, Dad", Liam started. "I found a box in your bedroom. It looked creepy. I was searching for my keys when I found them in that box along with many other keys".

Suddenly, Raimonda rose up from her bed and sat straightly with a shocked expression on her face, along with an anger expression.

"You brought that box back?!", Raimonda said. She tried to raise her voice but she couldn't. She was too tired to raise it. "Didn't I tell you to throw it away?".

Mike's head was about to explode from all those problems situations that are happening. He was too tired, too.

"I did, honey", Mike replied. "But after a few days, I found it in the kitchen".

Raimonda surely didn't believe him. And Mike knew that if he also told her the truth, she wouldn’t believe him either.

"Yeah, it grew legs and crawled back to our kitchen", Raimonda muttered.

Mike was about to defend himself when they heard screams of horror coming from outside the room.

Liam rushed immediately to see what's going on. He stood in the middle of the narrow hallway staring at its end. For his shock, he saw something terrifying….

Something that he wished he hadn't seen…

"Uh-Oh!", Liam let out, frozen in his place. He was staring at something at the end of the hallway as if he saw a ghost.

A few seconds later, he ran back into the room and slammed the door behind him. He leaned on it so that no one could be able to enter.

"NO ONE GETS IN OR GETS OUT!!", Liam screamed. He was breathing hardly. His heart was pounding so hard.
