The House With no Mirrors

Chapter 2

We came back a couple of days later with a moving truck and started to take everything inside. We bought the kids a playground and built that and put it in the back first so they would be occupied. My cousin Cassidy was over to help with Avril. Before putting anything in the house, Ty and I had to paint the walls. At times he would fling paint at me and I would fling some back. It's a really good thing we had tarp on the floors. We painted Avrils room pink, Marcie's red, Marshall's blue and TJs green. I put the finishing touches by adding plane or butterfly stickers to the wall.

After painting, Ty and I started taking in the furniture. We brought in couches, chairs, appliances, tables and mirrors. I sat a mirror right on the middle of the table because I had to get a nail to hold it in place and I didn't want the mirror to fall. I went out to the kitchen and grabbed a nail and a hammer and heard a crashing sound. Shit. I ran out and there was the mirror. Flipped over on the floor, broken. I looked around thinking it was strange but I shook it off and just thought I sat it wrong. I picked up the broken pieces and went back to what I was doing.

After that we took all the boxes inside and emptied them and put them where they needed to be. It was about 6 pm at the time and the kids came running in and they tugged on our pants a bit to get our attention

"Momma! Dadda! We're hungry!"

TJ said

"I'll order you guys pizza."

Ty said back. we never really had the greatest and most healthy dinners but I was still find with it. I grabbed some of the boxes that we didn't really need upstairs and took them back downstairs to the basement while Tyler and Cassidy played with the kids. I started getting that eerie feeling again that I was being watched. I didn't dare to look anywhere except the place I was setting the boxes. I set the boxes down and felt something run past me. shivers went up my spine and my heart rate began to speed up. my adrenalin started to rush as I ran up the stairs quickly and slammed the door. Tyler looked at me like I was going crazy

"Babe, are you alright?"

He walked over to me

"Y-yeah. I-I-I'm fine."

I said back trying to catch my breath. he hugged me trying to comfort me and he feels how bad I was shaking.

"Are you sure?"

I kissed him quickly and nodded

"Positive."

I looked at the kids and saw one was missing. Marcie.

"Where's Marcie, Ty?"

"She ran upstairs to her room and hasn't came back down yet, want me to check up on her?

He said raising an eyebrow and I shake my head

"No, no. I got it."

I pulled away from the hug and walked upstairs quickly. I heard faint giggling and talking from Marcie. that was a good sign. I walked over and opened her door and saw her sitting on her bed with with her head turned to the side looking like she was talking to someone.

"Who are you talking to, sweetie?

She looks over to me and smiles

"My new friend Emily!"

I smiled back knowing it was just an imaginary friend.

"Well let's go downstairs, the pizza is probably here."

She smiled and nodded then looked back to the 'person' she was talking to and said

"I'll be back in a little while, I promise I'll play with you Emily."

She then skipped over and took my hand and we both walked downstairs together. We all ate and like usual Ty threw some food at me and I threw some back and stuck my tongue out at him. There's nothing Ty can do or say to make me hate him. I love him more than life. After dinner Cassidy went home, we tucked the kids in bed and I fed Avril then laid her in her crib. I turned on her mobile and hummed the tune and she soon fell asleep. I turned on the baby monitor them walked out of the room and heard Marcie again. I walked over and opened her door and all of her toys were all over the floor and she was running around and I groaned

"Marceline Crampton! what are you doing?!"

She stopped and looked at me

"Playing with emily."

I rolled my eyes and picked up all of her toys and put them away

"Well it's time for bed."

"But I promised Emily I would play with her!"

I picked her up and put her in bed

"Well I guess Emily will have to wait."

I kissed Marcie on the head and turned on her nightlight then her music box. I sang to her intel she fell asleep then walked out of the room and closed the door. I walked into my room and put on a pair of pajama shorts and one of Ty's shirts. I walked over and laid down and he laid next to me. he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him and kissed me lightly while noticing I was wearing one of his shirts. I always wear them no matter what

"You just love wearing my shirts, don't you maye?"

I giggle and nod. he chuckled and kissed me again pulling me a bit closer. I pulled back and laid my head on his chest while he reached over to the lamp on the nightstand and turned the light off. I fell asleep for about a few hours then woke up hearing something. It sounded like small footsteps were running up and down the stairs. I just cuddled closer to Ty and tried not to worry about it. I then heard different kind of toys like a ball bouncing, then windup toys even the pull-string dollies. I didn't really get a lot of rest that night from those noises. after about a hour or two I fell back asleep.
