The first night in my new house was strange. Not because of the creaking stairs or basement that I've never had before. But the noises i hear outside. My window faces the house next door. Grunting sounds. Screeching sounds. It was afternoon i was throwing a Frisbee with my brother Conner. "Trish! Now you can go get it!" My brother yelled. My name is Trisha McDonald. Tall boney red headed girl. I'm not very sporty. But i like Frisbee. I mean how hard is it to toss a disk back and forth. "Okay, I'll go get it" i shouted. I climbed over the rose bed and through the group of hibiscus. I leaned down to pick the blue Frisbee up. "What are you doing young lady!" A tall stern man stood glancing down at me. "I'm sorry Mr but my Frisbee accidently landed in your flower garden." I replied with a soft voice. "It is mine now miss" he grabbed the Frisbee and trudged off. "That big meanie stole our Frisbee" Conner told Mom as we finished dinner. "Well it did land in his flowers on his property Conner!" Mom announced picking up the dinner plates. I trotted upstairs and to my bedroom. "Trish wait!" Conner called. "We should sneak into his garage and take it back!" Conner whispered. "Are you mental? That's a really dumb idea Conner, it's getting late anyways" i replied. "It's the perfect time! Didn't you say you heard noises coming from his house Trish?" He asked sternly. "Yeah i hear growling and grunting sometimes. It sounds like animals are being attacked." I mentioned as we stood in the hallway. "Let's go and see Trish. And meanwhile i can get my Frisbee back from that greedy monster!" Conner muttered. "Fine we go quickly and quietly! In and out. No being a nosey Ann okay!" I walked into my bedroom and grabbed a flashlight. We creeped around the side of his house. It was eerily quiet. Only sound was wind howling a breeze. We stopped at the garage. "Do you hear that Conner?" I asked shaking from the cold night air. "Grunting sounds?" Conner mentioned as we put our ears to the garage door. We walked to the side door that leads into the garage. I felt a chill roll down my back. "This is wrong Conner" I mumbled. We slowly opened the door. Its creak and squeak echoed. The grunting stopped. We peered around the garage. I whipped the flashlight around the room. The door closed. Conner turned the knob. "Now we are locked in here Trish" he whispered. I searched around. Science beekers and tubes. Boxes filled with chemicals. The grunting noise started again. I spotted a note book on one box. It read THE EXPERIMENT HAS FAILED. Another note when i flipped the page. I CAN'T GIVE UP I NEED A CURE. "What? This is scary Conner lets bolt!" I said shivering. Then my flashlight spotted something bizarre. A huge cage. There was an animal inside. I crept closer. I didn't believe what i was seeing. I screamed! The scream bounced off the garage walls. The animal started grunting and jumping up and down. Half animal half human. Human face a womans face and long blonde hair. Hairy animal body. Black hair. Long claws like daggers. Her teeth like spears ready to shred meat off bones. Conner ran to the door. Turning the knob desperately trying to escape before we became the changlings dinner! "What is going on in here!" A manly voice filled the garage. The man who stole our Frisbee. "Please don't feed us to your monster Mr!" I begged. "You seem to stumble upon my wife i see!" He announced flicking the light on. "Wife? You married that disgusting thing?" Conner shouted. "No i didn't marry her that way young boy. I'm a scientist. I was conducting a experiment and it back fired. I was trying to find a cure for my wife. She became really sick. Incurable. I tried months and months of agony and painful experiments on her hoping i could cure her illness. But as you can see she turned a little monster like. She bacame a BANSHEE! Banshees don't carry the disease she has. So to keep her alive this is the life she lives now." The man said with tear filled eyes. "But isn't this cruelty or something" i asked. "Cruelty? Shes alive!" He replied with anger. "Yeah in a cage" Conner blurted. "Just because some people don't understand doesn't make it cruelty you know" he announced. "We need to leave now Mr." I said confused. "I'm afraid i can't let that happen you see, now that you know about my experiment i have to discard you!" He said walking to the cage. "Please we won't say a word." I begged. He unlocked the cage. The banshee slowly crept towards us. "Please! Don't harm us we didn't mean to come here and disturb you!" I cried. The banshee stood up and attacked. Leaping towards the man. She ripped his arm off. We heard snapping and crunching. Slurping and gulping. She was devouring him. Getting revenge for what he had done to her. She stood facing us. She picked up a giant needle. "Oh no" i cried as she walked towards us. She stuck the needle into her side. And prushed the liquid into her body. She collapsed to the floor. "Is the banshee dead?" I asked Conner. I think so lets go!" Conner said as we ran out the garage and into the mans house. "Wait look!" Conner yelled. "My Frisbee!" He grabbed the Frisbee and we bolted for home. The next night it was quiet. No grunting or anything. Just the police and ambulance. I watched out my window as the bodies were being strolled from the house on the gurney and into the ambulance. I shrieked. I screamed. The banshee looked right at me as it was hoisted into the ambulance.
