the old welgrim house(a horror story)

the creaks and cracks

 

      I kept my eyes on the road as I began driving to my new destination. I had been moving to hopefully a better place then I was in before. I kept driving, the moving truck hitting bumps and cracks Accasionally.

-

   It had only been a couple hours til I reached the new home. I drove into a nice, fancy looking driveway. I stared at the house that I had chosen. Surprisingly for something that had looked like a mansion, I had gotten a really cheap price on it.

     My mouth slightly hung open as I stared at the house. Well until I remembered I had to boxes to unpack. I opened up the back of the moving truck to show many boxes. I grabbed a couple boxes and headed towards the front door. I set a box down and unlocked the door to get things inside.

   Sure it might have been insane for a woman at the age of twenty to be living alone, in a huge house. But I wasn't entirely alone. I had my cat ferrow. An all black cat.

   I had gotten all the boxes out of the moving truck and at least into my new home. All that was left was to bring ferrow in. I opened the passenger sides door, I grabbed the cage that had gotten my small friend. I brought the cage into the house.

   Immediately the black cat jumped out and started running around, it almost seemed like a blur. I smiled to myself and headed to what seemed to be the kitchen.

   I stared in amazement as I realized how clean and polished it had been. I ran my hands over a marbled counter top. "How...nice" I muttered to myself.
"Yes indeed, it's a wonderful place ya know" An unfamiliar voice rang throughout the kitchen.
   I turned my head after being slightly startled to see a woman. She looked to be in her 70s or possibly older.

   She flashed a kind smile and flipped her brown locks to clear her face more. "Um w-who are y-" I had been cut off before I could finish my question. "I'm gladyss Dellington, I'm one of your neighbors dear".

   " How did you get into my house?"I asked. "You left your front door wide open" The woman simply answered. I nodded and we simply stared at each other for a while. "Well it seems I've overstayed my welcome" She said before turning away and headed towards the front door.

   I walked along with her to close the door as she left. Before she stepped onto the front steps, she stopped and turned to look at me. "This house is full of memories you know".i titled my head at her words. " Well, have a nice day river! "." How did you know my n.. Name"before she could answer my question she had already disappeared.
