Here We Are Again

Chapter 1: The Storm

Emma's Pov

It was about 11 at night and it had been storming almost all night long, I sat in my room doing my homework and listened to some music to drown out the storm. I hated storms and it didn't help the fact that I was home alone. My mom was at her sisters house two hours away and my dad was stuck at the police station working on some cases. I finally gave up on homework since I had been working on it for about 2 hours and went down stairs to find something to eat. I made my way down the stairs as the light flickered.

"I swear if the electric goes out I'm gonna be pissed." I said out loud to myself.

I went to the kitchen and made a sandwich and headed back up stairs to my room. I got to the top of the stairs and wouldn't you know the light went out.

"You've got to be freaking kidding me"

I went to my room put my food down and grabbed a flashlight out of my closet and headed downstairs to the basement to see if I could get the electric to come back on. I flipped the breakers and nothing happened.

"Son of a bitch, why does crap like this happen to me all the time."

I headed back upstairs to look for some candles, my mom had a bunch of warm glow candles that she would burn that smelt like a vanilla factory. I hated the smell so much so I sure in the hell wasn't gonna take those up to my room. I grabbed my phone to call my dad to see if he knew where any candles would be but there was no service because of the storm.

"Of course, this night couldn't get any worse." I said to myself.

I went back to the kitchen to go through the cabinets to see if I could find any candles. I found a pack of tea light candles and headed back up to my room. I began to light the candles and remembered that mom kept a lantern in the closet down the hallway. I grabbed my flash light and headed down the hallway. I went to go open the closet door and it wouldn't budge.

"Are you freaking kidding me"

Mom had locked the closet door because that is where she kept all the medical supplies and medications and when she found out that my brother was sneaking into the closet so he could take some of the medications without asking, my mom began locking the closet door. As I turned to head back to my room I spotted out of the hallway window a black impala. The car was way to familiar, my heart started to race and I ran back to my room. I locked my bedroom door and pulled all my curtains too. I blew out all the candles I had lit and got into bed. I rubbed the scar on my upper arm and soon I drifted off to sleep.
