The Turning 2

Chapter One

All of this book will be in Caroline's POV unless stated otherwise.

They dropped me off. Right inside the front gate and sped away.

"It would've been really nice if you could've pulled in farther!"

I start my long walk to the house. Haven't been here in 5 years, 1 month, 12 days, and 6 hours.

Yes, I've been counting.

I didn't miss this place that much. Just the people in it.

I finally get up to the house and I find a car parked.

Hm, wonder who's here.

I walk to the stables and find Flora in there with a lady.

Flora sees me and her eyes light up.

"You've gotten so old!"

She runs up to me and hugs me.

"So have you, Caroline."

I fake pout and then smile.

Flora fake gasps.

"Is that a wrinkle?!"

She points at my eyebrow.

I smile again.

"It probably is. I had 6 brothers and 4 sisters in my foster family before coming back here. Now, where's Miles?"

Flora's mouth opens wide.

"Really?! That's a lot. Oh, and I don't know, probably up in his room somewhere."

"Or hanging out with Quint?"

The woman's eyes open wide and she looks at me.

Flora looks at me.

"Quint's dead."

I nod.

"Oh... Quick question, who is she?"

I point at the woman and she stands up and looks at me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't properly introduce myself. I'm Kate Mandell, the children's nanny. I suppose you're Caroline?"

She holds out her hand for me to shake so I do.

"It's nice to meet you, Kate. And yes, I am Caroline, how did you know?"

She smiles.

"Flora talks about you all the time, and we got a call from the family saying you were supposed to show up next week but I just figured it was you showing up."

"Yeah, we wanted to surprise you guys. Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go find Miles."

Flora looks like she's about to say something, but then shrugs and continues playing with Kate.

I walk out of the stables and over and into the house, walking to my old room and seeing that it still is open. I drop my stuff down and then walk to Miles's room, hearing a guitar, so I open the door and go in.

Miles plays for a little more and then stops.

"You should learn to knock."

"Well, knocking was never really my thing."

Miles turns around, looking at me.

"Welcome back to the hellhole, how may I assist you?"

"Just wanted to say hi, ask how you were doing."

He turns back around.

"Okay, you said hi, and I'm doing absolutely better than ever. Now leave."

"I don't want to leave. Come on, we haven't seen each other in 5 years. Now get your head out of your ass and talk to me."

Miles gets up and walks over to his drums, grabbing his drumsticks.

"I already talked."

"Miles co-"

He bangs his drumsticks against the drums.

"Miles, kn-"

Bang. Silence. Bang. Silence.

"Miles, stop it!"

He continues, just staring at me, so I storm off, slamming his door behind me.

I walk to my room, and I hear the banging continue for a tiny bit, and then stop.

What is up with him?

I walk over to the mirror, and see someone behind me.

I whip around, only to find no one.

I go and sit on my bed, laying down.

Great, now I'm going psycho.

And then I hear a scream.

I decided to rewrite this I hope you like it. Make sure to vote and comment. Have a good day!

Stay safe!
