The betrayal

chapter 18

It was a new season, everyone was happy, everything was normal again, it was Christmas, persons were putting up their Christmas tree, spending time with their families, it was all okay. "Merry Christmas Mom." Mary shouts in joy. "Merry Christmas sweetie, jen says she will be coming over soon for our Christmas dinner." Mary's mum says. "What time did she say?" Mary asks. "She didn't tell me the time, she just said she was coming over for dinner tonight." As Mary about to respond there is a knock on the door. "Honey, can you get that for me." Mary's mum says then walks away into the kitchen. When Mary opens the door, it is Cindy. "Hey, I thought you said you were coming over in the afternoon." Mary says. "Oh I was, but I changed my mind." Cindy laughs. "Oh ok." Mary joins in with her. "Hi Cindy, how are you doing my baby?" Marys mum says. "Oh I am fine, Mrs Patterson, Merry Christmas." Cindy says while hugging her. "Merry Christmas to you too dear." Mary's mum says with a smile. "Ok uhmm, mom we're in my room if you need us." Mary says grabbing Cindy's hand while running up the stairs. "Ok now, why were you running so fast to come up here." Cindy asks. "Close your eyes." Mary says. "Why?" Cindy laughs. "Just close them." Mary says laughing, Cindy closes her eyes. "Ok, open up." Mary says presenting a well designed box in front of her. "Its your Christmas present, oh and don't open it, not now." Mary says. "Oh no." Cindy says. "What?" Mary says. "I am so sorry, I totally forgot to bring your Christmas present, it's at home." Cindy says. "No it's ok, we can just go for it at your house now." Mary says. "Really, your mom is gonna need help with everything downstairs." Cindy says getting worried. "She'll be fine, let's go." "Hold on let me get my purse." Cindy says searching for her purse while Mary is staring out the window. "Looks like some new people just moved in there." Mary says then Cindy walks up. "Who are they, and what happened to the last family that lived beside your house?" Cindy asks. "I don't know?" Mary says. "Their family looks so weird." Cindy says while looking in her purse for something, as a girl comes out of a car, she looks like she's the same age as Mary and Cindy, she saw Mary looking out the window and gives her an evil glare, then walks in to the house with her mother, her father's already in the house putting the bags down. "Yeah, very weird." Mary says looking at the house. "Ok let's go." Cindy says and they exit the room. This is getting very, very spooky😢😲
