The Boy and the Fire

Chapter 3: The Room

So, as I continued into the darkness of the house, I thought about the boy. "I wonder why he is never home. I mean, their car is in the driveway all the time." After searching for a while, I saw a door. It was a solid wood door with an old brass handle. The handle was loose. I lightly put my gand on the handle. It was warm. "Nobody's home, how could it be warm?." As I pushed the handle down and opened the door, a cold rush pierced through me. I continued through the door. The room was dark and empty. There was an old bed with velvet sheets and a wood body. There was also a book on the bed. I wiped the dust off of it and read the title. It was titled, "My
Journal". "This is not a book, it's an old journal!" I opened the tared cover and looked at the name inside. "This journal belongs to...Jake Colden! "The journal belongs to Jake Colden, the boy who died in the fire of 19th street!" I paused. "Wait...how did this journal not burn in the fire?" Just then, the journal flew out of my hand and landed on the bed. At this point, I am expecting this kind of stuff to happen, so I am not that scared. Then it started to flip to random pages. When it stopped, I went over to read it. "I see you..." it read. "Oh...my..." and at that moment, the boy appeares infromt of me. He was pale and tall. He looked about my age. His eyes were bleeding and they were completley black. "Hello...why are you in my house, Max?" Now I know why he is never home. He is a demon! He must have done something terrible durring his life to have become a demon. "How do you know my name?" I said in fear. "When you were born, you were just like me. You had nice parents, you got a lot of atention, and you had everything you wanted." "Um..." " I used to have friends. I had a life. Then, someone took it from me." "Who?" "My dad..." "Oh. Wow...ok..." "I used to be the nicest person to everyone, but nobody ever did anything for me. When I died, nobody went to my grave. Nobody even remembered me. Now, I am back, and I am here for revenge." Ok, so he didn't do anything bad to have become a demon. Then what happened?
