A Ghost Love Story

The Truth

Madelyn woke screaming that night due to yet another nightmare about her parents. Though this time when she sat up she saw a figure at the end of her bed, when she tried to move closer to it it disappeared. 

At that moment her aunty stormed into the room and looked like she hadnt had any sleep that night. " Let's go down stairs and have a cuppa." She walked back out of the room.

Madelyn made her way out of her room and down stairs into the kitchen where her Aunty was preparing her a coffee. She looked at Madelyn and gestured for her to wait at the table, so Madelyn made her way into the dining room and sat down at the table. She began looking around the room and discovered that the only pictures were pictures of scenery, she nearly jumped when her aunty entered the room. She placed a coffee mug infront of Madelyn and then sat down on the chair next to her.

" Why dont you have any personal pictures?" Madelyn asked her aunty.

Her aunty shuffled uncomfortablely in her seat and sipped her coffee then placed in down on the table, she then stood and left the room. She came back a few moments later with a few pictures in her hand. She passed them to Madelyn.

" This is from when me and your uncle moved into this house ten years ago. You see we were still so childish and romantic in our ways of showing love and compassion. And we loved taking pictures of us living here doing ordinary things. We had taken so many photos the camera was full so we went and go the photos printed. When we had the photos delivered to us we found that we werent the only ones in the pictures. We found that we had a young boy in the pictures with us, we went around town and asked people if they recognised the boy. Most people said they didnt but we went to a demonologist who was a person of the town and she said that she remembered him but he was dead. She came to this house and walked around it and found herself outside the room, she wanted to know why it was locked and we replied with us not knowing becasue we hadnt found a key that fitted it. Then the door bursted open giving your uncle a heart attack, he died at that moment. I havent taken a photo since and dare not to put those photos around the house." Madelyn had sat silently in her chair as she listened to the story unravel, she hadnt expected it to be so heartbreaking and sad.

" I..I'm so sorry for opening it." Madelyn apologised.

" No, it doesnt matter. For all these years i tried to open the door back up. I tried so hard and yet it never did but for you it opened and i cannot figure out why." Her aunty moved closer to her and placed her face on her hands.

Madelyn starred into her auntys eyes and contemplated telling her about the figure she saw in her room but she hesitated, she knew that some how it wasnt the right thing. " I honestly do not know why it opened for me."

Her aunty still continued to stare at her, Madelyn inreturn stared back into her eyes and saw her auntys eyes slowly change into a black color. "Umm...I think i should go back to bed. I'm feeling a bit tired."

Madelyn stood and so did her aunty. "Yes ofcourse darling, we can talk more in the morning"

They both went their seperate ways.

A few weeks later Madelyn had barely been home, she had been distracting herself with her friends. She had completely forgotten everything about what her aunty said and about the figure. Or that's what she thought.

Becca: Y cant u come out 2nite?

Madelyn: Cus i cant. She wont let me.

Becca: Grr. damn it. Well nite sweetie.

Madelyn: Nite nite.

Madelyn placed her phone down and just as she did that Becca messaged her a selfie through snapchat. Madelyn picked her phone back up and took a selfie herself to send to Becca, but as she was putting a caption on it she noticed she wasnt the only on in the picture. There was a face next to hers. A another face beside her own. Madelyn calmly turned around and came face to face with a guy who was probably a few years older then her.

" Umm..How did you get in here?" Madelyn asked as she backed away from him.

" Through the wall" He replied, his voice realing Madelyn back to him.

"Ah..." Madelyn mumbled as she drifted into the world of darkness
