There (Haunted)

Chapter nine

I get up out of the comfy chair in the lounge. It's the only free sofa right now as the rest has boxes on them. When I get up my stomach huts, more aches but I don't really care. Harry left around half an hour ago to go to lunch with William, so i'm really bored now. I'm not going on a hack on Altai as he's in the vets and Harry's a little spooked because what ever my cousin saw or heard the horse heard it to! Luckily George has already untacked him, i'm so lucky to have a great little brother! I'm not allowed to leave the house and I can't have any friends found, i've done my homework and packed my bag for next monday. It's half term so I don't go to school until then, but it's only sunday! Great. Bored for the whole week.

I have nothing better to do so I wander up to my room. There I see my ipad and phone on charge and loads of storage boxes that were under my bed taken out and opened. Teddies fill my wooden floor and all other my soft white rug. Julie!

I walk as fast as I can to her room down the hall to see why she didn't ask to take my toys, to be honest I don't care to much as I don't play with them any more but they're mine and she needs to ask!

When I get to her room her door is closed, she hates it closed though. Weird. I open it and it squeaks. I walk into the purple room to find Julie isn't there, nor my teddies. Okay then, where is she and where are my toys?

I walk out of her room and go down the hall to Jack and Finn's room, they share cause Jack's never normally here, he's a runner so he does a lot of competitions for Britain. But she's not in there nor my toys nor Jack and Finn, but they could be downstairs in the den with George and Andrew playing FIFA. I walk out of the trophy filled room to the room next to mine, Georges. No shes not in there!

I head out and begin to go in my room but I stop and walk over to the spare room door. There I hear a 11 year old laughing, giggling and playing. But someone else is in there! Who? I put my ear up to the door to listen.

"I thing Becca's cousin Harry is in love. I saw him hugging that boy who came round earlier for a long time." I hear Julie say, I can tell its her voice as its almost sounds baby-ish.

Buts he must be wrong, Harry's not gay, is he? Anyway, back to Julie. Who is she talking to? It could just be her talking to one of her imaginary friends, could it be? I hear her stand up and run around.

"Ring a ring a roses..." Julie sings. I've all ways hated that lullaby I drone out for most of it. "We all fall down!" Thud, she falls down.

The begins to giggle and say 'that was fun' at the same time! WHAT? Someones in there, and not a member if the family, a young girl, I can tell by the tine of the girls voice, shes speaking now, it's quite creapy, and its no one I know. I look down the stairs to see if there is a pair of girls shoes, maybe one of Julie's friend came to stay? But no, no shoes!

I rush into my room as thats the first plan to see who's in there with Julie. I shout her name but no reply or she doesn't come out. I call her name again. Still no reply. Time for plan B. I walk over to the spare room door and knock.

"Julie, come out I know your in there." I yell and knock again.

The door clicks and Julie's head pops out.

"What?" She ask.

"What are you doing in there?" I ask her.

"I'm playing with my friend." Her friend? What?

"Who's your friend?" I ask.

"Her names Abigail, you don't know here. She lived here before us." Abigail, the girl who lived before us, either she came for a visit or shes the dead girl in my dream, room and the spare room, makes sense now!

"Where are my teddies?"

"In here, we playing with them!"

"Okay, don't destroy them and what happened to your face?!" Julie's face looks like a zombie applied make up to her face with its eyes closed. Its that bad!

Her lipstick is smudged, looks like blood. He mascara is all lumpy and is all round her eyes plus shes got panda eyes because of all the black eye shadow on. And not forgetting the eye liner is wonky! Her mousey brown hair is half tied up in a scruffy ponytail at the back and half her hair is hanging by hair shoulders. Shes a right mess!

"Abigail gave me a makeover" all I do is nod and rudely she closes the door on my face so I wander back across the hall to my room.

Is shout the door and sit on my bed. I take my ipad off charge, 71%, thats okay. I turn the brightness half down to safe battery and go on google. I click the search button and type in 'South Lane House'. Not many non- related pages come up but I go a sight which has a black and white old picture of my house. I click on history. The sight tells me that the house was made in 1907 and a man called John Smith lived there. He had a daughter and two sons. Triplets. It said his wife died during child birth as she was giving birth to the finial child, the daughter it said her name was, oh my god! It said her name was Abigail. Is scroll down and see that the in, other family was the family before us then it said someone moved in yesterday, us. I scroll back up again and look at the picture of the family, the dad and the three children. The girl. See looks a bit like the girl I saw in my dream. Long black hair. And see was wearing a white gown. They look really unhappy! I notice one of the boys, looks like he's been hit a few times.

I read on, it says in 1908 Abigail went missing. No one suspected it was the father but in recent times they have found clues that it was John. After Abigail died the boys were seen less and less. Then they found one of the boys body, hanging from a tree. His name was Tom. He committed sucicide. Oh my. This house has a very bad history. Then it says 2 weeks later the other child ran away, his name was Ben. John got so depressed he committed suicide by drowning himselft.

Rumour has it that in the forest there are two grave yards and a little water hut. Where Tom and Ben's bodies lay and they father's is buried under the hut. Another rumour is that Abigail was placed in a box and hid in the darkest biggest room. The spare room.

Oh. My. God. This cannot be happening!
