PRT 2 SETTLING IN

Clarissa's POV

It felt to be back in the house. All the old memories started to fill my mind to the brim. I can now remember things that were once forgotten. The house welcomed me and my stomach felt warm inside. Yes, I feel at home once again. Everything has been left exactly the same. This house was 'Untouched'.

"Clarissa." My head turned back slowly.

"Yes?" My voice stayed strong but with a hint of curiosity.

"Clarissa, your home from school?" I paced about the room wondering if I was going crazy.

"If you skipped school again I'm gonna beat you so hard!"

"NO MOTHER!" I was full of panic as the memories started to swell up into a cluster of dark mass. I ran through the kitchen and threw myself into the basement. My body gave up at the thought of the cold memories. I shrank into the corner if the room and started to cry.

"Mom's not gonna hurt me. I'm a good little girl." My voice wavered and my whole body was shaking. It wasn't even cold. That's when it hit me.

"How was school?" Mother spoke her voice full of power.

"It was really fun mom." The little girl. Who was she?

"That's a lie! The neighbor told me you haven't even gone outside today!"

"Mom please don't yell." The little girl has now broken into tears.

"I DO WHAT I WANT!" She ran towards me and picked me up by my arm. Running across the kitchen with me still in her grasp, she threw me into the basement. She turned away and walked up the stairs.

"Ive got a surprise for you." Her steps slowly came into the basement and descended down the flight of stairs. She slowly pulled out a pot from behind her and threw it at me. The water came pouring out and it was boiling. When the water came in contact with my skin it started to blister instantly. My screams carried over everything and i was back to reality.

Tom's POV

This house is so old I don't even know why Clarissa wanted it so bad. The closest neighbor was like 100 miles away. . .well that's a lie but they're really far away. Meh. Well I might as well unpack all my stuff. The TVs already in place and now for the sound system.

I slowly started setting up the wires from the TV to the outlets and what not.

When I was finished I was very satisfied with what I had done. now that i can enjoy the TV i'll throw myself on the couch. As my feel left the floor and my body fell on to the couch. Instant pain flooded my whole body. Springs went up my butt and in my back. Dust flew every were and I just felt sick.

"Ouch..." Maybe i should of tested it out before I jumped on it. I might as well get some food to balance out the negativity of the couch. The food will add to the positive things in this house.

I was walking out of the living room on my way to the kitchen down the hall. I noticed my feet made a noise every time I stepped. It was rather annoying and i didn't like it. I turned a corner in the hallway and found myself in the kitchen. My feet slowly drifted over to the fridge to watch my absolute favorite show! My eyes scanned the whole thing searching for food. I closed the door as my bad habit started to kick in. I opened the freezer and all of the pantries and cabinets. No food? What king of evil trick is this?

"Hey imma go get some lunch!" With the car keys in my hand I was a step away from the front door. I took that one step and froze before i could open the door. All of a sudden there was a cold breeze that went down my back. The air felt dense and i couldn't breathe right. Whats going on?
