The Sounds

"There it is, again."

"What?"

"The sound which I hear! Everynight!" Tyler Winston exclaimed.

"Oh, Don't Start it again Tyler I can't hear anything."

"OK then takes me to Where It's coming from" replied Alex Winston with an irritated tone in her voice.

Both siblings ran down to the basement from where the sound was coming. Tyler held onto Alex's hand.

There was nothing except silence. ....... Complete silence.

Alex spoke breaking the silence "See I told you it was just your mind."

"YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME! I HATE YOU!! "Tyler ran upstairs screaming.

Alex stood there sighing not knowing how to tell her little brother that she hears them too but is too afraid to say it.

She went upstairs thinking of how she could put a smile on her little brother's face. Tyler loved to hang out and discover new places so she thought of taking him to a park where she had been with your school friends once before. ... But it was midnight so she had to wait till tomorrow.

Alex goes to Tyler's room gives him a little shrug on his back to wake him up in the morning.

"What is it? I am not talking with you! "Tyler frowned upon Alex.

"But at least listen to me once Tyler! Please Pretty Please... "

"Why should I?" Tyler replied ignoring her "pretty please".

Well, Tyler was hard to please no doubt.

"So you do not want to go to a new place for some Discovery?! Ok then. I will go with my friends LEAVING you behind". Alex set with a sly smile and a teasing tone.

"Okay!" Tyler said as he looked at his sister with a look on his face trying to hide his excitement from her.

"I will wear my yellow T-shirt matching with my new yellow shoes" He then said, with a little forgiveness in his tone.

"GREAT! Then pack your tiny the lower back we're leaving in 30 minutes"

The view of the Park from the entrance was so beautiful; it seemed as if it was pulling you in like a magnet.

RIVER VIXEN GLORY PARK

However modern the name was the board looked equally ancient with yellowish change and hairline cracks.

Both siblings gave each other the look regarding how beautiful the park was and the stepped inside.

While they were roaming and admiring the beauty of the park and teasing each other, a boy almost of 10 years as Tyler came in front of them out of nowhere and stood still staring right at them.

Both of them just stopped all startled.

"Hi! This Park is so beautiful right! "He said. His pale white skin almost made him invisible within the fog.

"It is! I love it. "Tyler replied with friendliness while Alex wondered how she didn't notice him earlier.

The boy giggled as if reading Alex's thoughts and gave a mysterious yet lovely smile to them and ran as if indicting them to catch him.

Alex notices his smile and quickly her thoughts went away when Tyler started running to catch him.

"Hey Stop!" Alex followed Tyler as he ran behind the boy.

Then both of them stopped as they saw the boy sitting on a bench, staring on the ground alone while swinging his legs.

The siblings went near him. The boy had a calm, straight face.

They both went and sat beside him and the boy started speaking out of context.

"My name is Oliver. I come here everyday. It's my favorite place and I don't like being at home. Oliver exclaimed.

Something was always bugging Alex since the first time they met Oliver.

Suddenly, the look on Oliver's face changed into a constant sheer fright.

"I hear them..... The sounds ...From the basement "Oliver stammered as he spoke.

"....it scares.....me! I hear them Everynight and sometimes in the afternoon as well."

Oliver looked up and moved his head towards his left while the siblings were sitting on his right. "But my mum is always with me"

Alex got Goosebumps and chills ran down her spine.

On the other hand, Tyler related to him so much that he ignored the fact, what had just happened.

He was going to tell Oliver that he could hear the sounds too but Alex pinched him and warned him with a glare.

"I know you hear them too"

"People died! A family..... Burnt alive..... By a man. "

"In my house!" Oliver replied with an Erie tone "it's time I should go." and he started running towards the fog and disappeared.

Tyler squealed at his sister.

"It's not his problem, Tyler it's ours" Alex exclaimed in shock after she went over to the place Oliver was staring down which was engraved,

Rest In Peace  Oliver Winston and Charlotte Winston.
