Hey!!

Please drop a vote or a comment it would mean a lot to me

Don't sit there, "she commanded. "That's the cat's chair"

That woman, silent and thoughtful with her orbs locked in mine for seconds worth lifetimes each. Her skin white as the freshly dead, creased and crevassed by a lifetime of worry. Her black garb gave sickly contrast to her complexion in cruel and knowing parody. The woman was dead and alive and I stood there with knees trembling in attempt to reconcile my vision as terror and numbness creeped in my veins. However I managed to control myself. That woman is my grandma. I know what you're thinking aren't grandmas meant to be gentle and caring? Well not mine all she cared about was that wrenched cat of hers.

I looked around my new home, a smashed window over sink with metal blinds rattled in the breeze. Cupboards open with food spilling out and rat droppings in the corner with one rat nibbling whatever was on the chopping board. My eyes widened in horror as I took in everything in.

"Your room is upstairs, two doors down to the left" her voice was like ice, cold and hard, and her eyes seconded the notion.

I nodded but she paid no attention turning her back on me.

I opened the door and stepped inside, but before I went upstairs I took a careful look of my surroundings. I saw myself in the antique mirror nailed to the wall above the table the phone sat on. My hair looked like a smoky topaz and as I watched, rosy shadows bloomed on my pale skin. Reluctantly I turned away and started up the stairs. Although I tried taking two steps at a time, the old wood stairs gave out more noise than I thought they would. I looked down the long dimly lit corridor and walked towards my new room, I grabbed hold of the brass door knob only to feel it wobble under my grip. I turned the knob and pushed open the door, a rush of cold, chilling air came out as the door touched the other side of the wall. The musty smell of a house that had long been abandoned filled my nose. The room looked better than what I was expecting there was an old looking four poster bed rested on the aging bare floors. The walls where painted a dark shade of blue. I started making plans in my head to cover them up with my posters and magazines. A chest of drawers sat on the far corner and a comfortable looking chair was seated next to a small desk. Not bad for a old house I thought moving towards the tall arched windows. The fury of the dark clouds loomed over the fields in the far distance slowly engulfing in the world. I Sighned and took out my phone dialling my mums number and surprisingly the signal was good.

I heard someone pick up and the sounds of mumbling

"Hello sweetie I would love to talk to you but I'm very busy" her voice sounded false and alarmingly too loud

Before I could even reply she hung up. Great I'm in the middle of no where with a old woman that I hardly know and my mum seems to have forgotten about me. I mean aren't mums supposed to ask you how you are? Especially if your being sent to live in the middle of nowhere. But then again I guess my mum is too busy with her new boyfriend to even care. Well that's my story. My mum ran off with her boyfriend for two weeks leaving me alone in the house. But I kind of had an accident. I set the kitchen on fire and the cops came I was about to be taken into care because my mum didn't have any relatives and she was labelled unfit to look after me. But then don't ask me how but my grandma called them up and it was decided that I would come here to live with her. Can I just add that this is my dad's mum and I have never met my dad I don't even know his name. I didn't even know I had a grandma.

There on my desk sat gramophone. I ran my fingers down the horn

Without warning eerie music sounded

"Do not touch it "a voice said behind me sending shivers down my spine

I turned around sharply and there was the old woman staring at me with her dull dark eyes. Darker then a moonless night.
