Emo's POV
"Turn left" said the GPS lady. We turned onto a dirt road that led into a path through a forest of trees.
"You boys sure this is it?" Emily asked unsure.
"Yeah" Orion and I said in unison. At the end of the path there was a little tan house. It had an oak tree with a tree house and tire swing in the front lawn.
Emily pulled up the drive way and climbed out to stretch. I turned around in the car to see Orion passed out in the back seat.
~~~~flash back~~~~
"We're home honey wake up."said a sweet feminine voice. I opened my eyes sleepily to see my parents looking at me.
Dad had taken us to the carnival and I must have fell asleep on the way back.
Dad got out of the car and opened the backseat door.
"Can you carry me?" little me asked.
"Fine." he said with a kind smile. He unbuckled my seatbelt and lifted me out of the car. I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in his shoulder as he walked towards the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I smiled.
"Ry wake up, we're here." I said softly.
He opened his eyes, yawned and stretched.
I hopped out of the car.
"You coming?" I asked Emily.
"I'll wait here for you guys." She said
I nodded and went to the front porch. I reached down and lifted the welcome mat, exposing the spare key that sat under it. I opened the door and walked inside, a still half asleep, Orion following. We walked up the stairs and looked at the pictures that lined the walls. They were mostly of little Orion and/or me. I chuckled at one were it was a picture of me and Orion making silly faces at the camera. I had my fingers hooked on the corners of my mouth pulling it so that my missing teeth were visible and I had my eyes crossed. Orion had puffed out his cheeks and pulled his ears outwards to look like a monkey. I kept walking down the hall till I hit my old bedroom door. It had peel and stick glow-in-the-dark stars on it and a sign that said EMO in my mom's beautiful handwriting.
I reached for the door handle and slowly opened it. I walked in and looked around. It was exactly as I left it. I looked around and smiled.
Non of my old clothes would fit me now so I told Orion to look through my closet for some clothes for himself. He is now about my size before our parents murder. I walked down the hall to my parents room. I'm now about my fathers size in clothes and shoes. I walked to my parents dresser and picked up a photo of the whole family. It was taken on Christmas. The order was me, Dad, Mom, Orion and Duke. My dad stood with his hand on my shoulder and his other arm around moms waist. Orion stood next to Mom with his hands behind his back and a huge goofy smile. I remember Duke was sitting in front of us all with his tongue sticking out, his ears perked up, and his tail swishing back and forth. His sleek black and brown fur shining in the sunlight. Duke was our german shepherd and rottweiler mix.People believed he was dangerous but he was an amazing dog.He ran away when I was 8. I looked around their room and found two old suitcases I filled one up with some of my dads old clothes that I thought would fit me. i walked back to my room and gave Orion the other case. I sat on my old bed as he packed.
"Have you looked at the book to see what happened to it that made it glow?" he asked as he looked through the closet.
"No. Not yet." I said turning my head to look at the book that sat on my desk. I walked over and opened it to the silver bookmarked page and looked it over for any changes. I kept looking till I found a change that stopped me in my tracks

'All? What does it mean by all?' I thought to myself.
"Anything?" Orion asked
"Yeah it says-" I said but was cut off by a loud female scream.
I turned and looked at Orion. The look on his face told me he was thinking the same thing I was.
"Emily!" we yelled as we ran out of the room.
