The Neighbor

The New Neighbor

I thought I was going crazy, when the new neighbors moved in next door. My family claims they never saw them, but they only came out at night. I promise they were real or so I thought.
It all started September 15th the first day they moved in, they came in the middle of the night. The very next day I was taking out the trash around 6 in the morning before I went school when I saw a small child waving at me through the window. They appeared to be maybe seven or eight years old , with bleach blonde hair and blue eyes. I waved back and they quickly dispersed behind the curtain. When I returned home that day I asked my mother if she had met the new neighbors, and she asked me what I meant, the house next door had been abandoned for years now. I said I had saw a little boy waving through the window they said I must have been day dreaming, no one lived in the house next door. I couldn't believe it I felt as if I was going crazy. I shook it off and the rest of the day was normal, I did homework talked to friends and watched tv. Then around eight at night there was a knock on my window. I turn and see the boy staring at me. I opened the window and the by asks me to come with him, because he is home alone and scared of the dark. I couldn't see his face really well in the dark, but his voice sounded frightened. "Mom I'm going out for a bit! Be back soon." My mom shouted back "Be back before curfew!" "Okay love you!" I shouted back. "Love you too she responded"
I walked to my window where the boy had told me to meet him, but he was no longer there. He was standing in the door frame of his house. All the lights were off in the house. As I approached the house the air turned to ice. The type of cold the pierces your skin. I walked in the house and asked the boy if we could turn on the lights, and he said "the lights dont work". I thought this was strange, but I continued into the house. The boys once innocent looking face been replaced with a sinister smile. He slammed the door shut and growled in a very deep voice "you're mine now". I screamed so loud people all around the world must have hear me.
