There (Haunted)

Chapter fifty-two

"Do you want a drink?" I ask Marshall as he sits down in the chair next to the marbled island in the middle of the kitchen.

"Yes please, water will do thanks." He replies.

So I walk to the corner of the kitchen and stand on the tips of my toes so I can reach the top cupboard with the glasses. Slowly I open the door.

Carefully I grab a glass cup and take it down from the top shelf. Gently I close the door and make my way to the sink.

I quickly run the cold water into the cup and finally walk over and hand it to Marshall. He smiles in appreciation.

"Tell me." Marshall takes a sip of his drink and swallows. "What really made you call the police and tell them there's a murderer living in your garden?"

"Technically I only called my dad." I correct him, a smug tone in my voice and a smirk playing on my lips.

"Well of course he's going to tell everyone!" He says seriously.

"I suppose."

"Seriously though, why?"

"Like I said it was just a hunch."

"Oh yeah, of course its just a hunch when you randomly think you see a killer in your back garden!" He rolls his eyes, obviously a little frustrated now.

"Okay, alright, i'll tell you."

"Thank you."

"Well my dad told me about Jay and said that he killed his half brother..."

"Wait, how did you know he was his half brother? Your dad doesn't even know that!"

"Didn't I say that earlier?"

"I dunno. Maybe, but how do you know that?"

"My dad told me."

"No he didn't."

"Yes he did! Now do you want to know or not because i'm happy not to tell you!" Now i'm the one getting a little frustrated as I just snapped.

"Alright. Go on then."

"But my dad told me he was wondering round really close so I had to be really careful. But the other day I went on a hack with my horses and cousin in my forest and..."

"You have horses?"

"Don't inturrpt! And yes, yes I do."

"And I thought I saw someone wondering around and clothes but I ignored it as something else weird happened."

"What happened?"

"Nothing, I don't want to walk about it. I found out what it was anyway." It was Mary-Alice and Charles attacking us.

"Okay, I suppose that makes sense." But none of it was true, i'm lucky he bought that!

I hear the front door open and heavy footsteps clamber inside. I walk a few steps into the hallway to see Harry shutting the front door. He's wearing a black t-shirt and black skinny skins and red, white, black and grey airmaxes.

"Hey." Harry says.

"You Queen Victoria or something?" I ask looking at his clothes.

"What?" He looks down what he's wearing then realises. "Oh right no, I didn't mean to wear all black because of William, I just chucked on anything really."

"Okay, well come in." I say and head towards the kitchen. "Why aren't you working on that film?"

"Oh because I get a few days off because of William. Who's that?" He whispers in my ear as we approach the kitchen.
