19. The Light Switch

It all started when the brunette girl flicked off the light switch in her Grandmother's house.

The girl knew she had to help her Grandmother, but after that the girl was alone. The girl thought it'd be fine staying the night since she never got to as a child.

Her Grandmother would scream at her if the girl tried to stay the night. The Grandmother would scream things like, "GO! DONT STAY HERE!" or "THE DEMONS LIVE HERE!"

Back then the girl was little and afraid of most things, so she didnt stay, but now. Now she was going to stay. A few years ago the girl's mother went to take care of the girl's Grandmother. The next morning the girl turned on the news and saw her mother died. It said she died by a heart attack.

'Weird' The girl thought, 'How could she have a heart attack?'

The girl looked up at her father. Her father staring at the TV, started to cry.

"Dad, what's going to happen to Grandma?" The girl asked her father.

Her father repiled, "I dont know sweetie. I dont know."

The girl shook her head to get that memory out of her head.

As the girl was fluffing her pillow she heard this weird noise, like it was snoring.

The girl knew her Grandmother never snored, but her father did.

Her father, just like her mother, went over a few months ago to check up on the girl's Grandmother. But this time, the father's blood was on the wall and his body was missing.

The girl got up and looked at the stairs and saw a black figure towering over the stairs.

"Grandma, what are you doing up at such a late hour?" The girl asked what she thought was her Grandmother.

The figure didnt answer.

"C'mon Grandma, we must get to sleep." The girl started to walk up the stairs.

Just as the girl got to the top stairs, the figure disappeared. The girl shrugged it off and went to her Grandmother's room just to see the Grandmother sleeping and a figure staring right down at the Grandmother.

The girl started to panic. 'Someone is the house?!?!'

The girl tried stepping into the room but was blown off her feet.

Two other figures appeared right above the girl, the one still looking at her Grandmother.

"W-who ar-are y-yo-you?" The girl stuttered. The two figures just looked at her.

Then one spoke, the voice made it clear it was a woman, "Sweetie, dont you remember us?" The lady asked.

"N-no." The girl responded, "Sh-shou-should I?"

The lady figure looked at the other figure.

The other figure spoke, showing it was a male, "Sweetie, we're your family."

"N-no, yo-your-youre no-not!" The girl still stuttered, "M-my fam-family is-is de-dea-dead."

The two figures laughed, a creepy laugh.

The girl finally looked at the two figures and saw that they did infact look like her dead parents

"Ho-how?" The girl asked

The figures stopped laughing and looked at the girl, they both asked, "Do you want to make a deal?"

"Wh-what t-typ-type o-of de-de-deal?" The girl asked.

"If make this deal, your father and I can come to the land of living. Even with your Grandfather." Her mom said moving out of the way to show the girl's Grandfather towering over her Grandmother.

The girl's Grandfather had indeed died in the house too.

"Th-thats m-mor-more of-of a on-one sid-sided d-d-dea-deal." The girl stated.

"Do. You. Want. To. Make. The. Deal?" Her father said firmly.

"I-"
