The Haunting

Chapter 9: Chaos

I walked home in complete silence. I didn't utter a word and the neighborhood seemed strangely quiet.

I didn't visit Michael for long time now, u know, at the hospital. So I already called mom and told her that I was going to visit him tomorrow after school. That way she wouldn't worry this time.

"HAY ! HAY MERIDA !! WAIT UP !!"

I stopped in my path and looked behind me.

It was Sarah....again.

"Hey. I thought maybe I can come over to your place and we can discuss what I wanted to talk about." Sarah said panting from all the running she did.

"Um....okay. Just lemme call my mom first so she can be aware." I said dialing her number."

Once I got on the phone with mom I told her that Sarah was going to be over at the house and for her not to worry. After I got permission, me and Sarah continued to walk home.

*AT HOME*

Soon as me and Sarah got in the house, I told her that we can go upstairs so she can tell me her "shocking secret"

"Okay so, you said you wanted to tell me something......what is it ?" I said.

"Okay, so I've been doing some research and this is not good news." Sarah responded.

"Okay so what's the bad news." I said.

"The bad news is that we have sacrifice someone. You know, in order for this house to stop killing innocent people and taking there souls."

I stopped and looked her as if she was crazy. And then I asked a question.

"So who is this person we have to sacrifice ?" I said.

"Merida this isn't easy......but we have to sacrifice Michael....." She responded.

I jumped out of my chair. As if I was on defense mode.

"WHAT ??!! THAT CANT BE RIGHT ! HE IS YOUR OWN BROTHER !!" I shouted.

Sarah got out of her seat too. And she got In my face. Then she said in a very calm voice....

"Merida there is no other way we can do this....so I suggest you do what I tell you or we all can be in great danger. You understand ?" Sarah said.

"No....in fact, something seems weird about you. How can you be so calm when your OWN BROTHER life could be at risk ?!!" I said crying a little bit.

"Look, if it means that I get to live then yeah, I'm calm. But you need to think. Who life is more important ? Yours or Michael's ?."

Then Sarah packed her stuff and walked out the house.

I was so angry ! I wanted to just....just...punch something. Instead of things getting better, it's getting worse. And I'm not about to stand back and let things get more worse than it's already is. I need a plan....again. I need a plan that's strong enough for this kind of situation. And This time, it should work.
