Scary Short Stories

Under the house

Once there was a family of 4,who wished for nothing more.
"EDGAR STOP WRITING POEMS."
"SHUT UP ALICE."
"Both of you stop it right now."their gorgeous,brunette mother yelled
"Whatever."
"Now remember your father will be home any minute now."the proud mother of 2 reminded both her playful,rude children.
—a couple minutes later—
A tall,handsome man with a neatly-trimmed beard walked into the house (perhaps the father) and said
"Guess who shall now be home."
"DAD" both of the children shouted.
"Well hello darling."
"Welcome home."
—2 hours later—
It was now time for the family to sit down for a fun film as the sun goes down and the stars come up but then the father asks...
"Edgar get down to the crawl space underneath the house and find me the box of films and different tapes.
"Yes father."
So there the boy went without a single hair on his skin nor his chin.
He unlocked the crawl space vent and began to creep inside! The boy saw something,something white; it looked like a pair of eyes staring back at him.All of a sudden as the eyes felt that they were looking deeper and deeper into his soul there was a mouse that scattered it's way across the hard,dusty floor causing poor Edgar to immediately crawl away and go tell his parents everything.
—1 hour later—
It is now later that night and Edgar however is laying in his warm,thick bed;he was thinking of what he could have possibly saw. Of course he was confused but maybe his parents were right "it is probably just your imagination because you know how many horror films you watch." Well that's what's happening with Edgar but on the other hand what's happening with Alice? 'Hmm my brother is probably just crazy wait what was that' Alice thought as she heard something coming from underneath the floor boards.Then she suddenly asked her brother something from across their bedroom...
"Did you lock the crawl space door?"
Edgars eyes shot up in fear.
"N-n-n-no."he trembled
"We need to go shut it come on we can both go."Alice spoke as she clutched her pink,fluffy blanket.
"Um ok."
Time passed as the two children got to the crawl space and one(Edgar) was locking it up and the other was well wait where is the other OH NO!!!
"ALICE ALICE ALICE WHERE ARE YOU THIS ISNT FUNNY GET OUT HERE OR ILL DESTROY YOUR BLANKET!!"
This was now getting serious...
—2 hours later—
It was getting late and Edgar has been looking for his sister for around 2 hours now he needs to just give up. He headed back inside and went straight to sleep.
—the next day—
It was 7am and Edgar heard his parents out by the stairs and went to see them.
"What's happening?"
"Oh good morning darling did you sleep well?"
"Yes I did thank you."
"Have you seen your sister today?"
His face turned from a 'this is a good day' to a 'oh no' realisation face.
"Uh yes I sent her to the shops for some milk and bread we ran out yesterday."
The mother made an 'O' shape with her mouth and her son said
"Is that okay?"
"Yes of course now me and your father need to get to work so if you will excuse me."
The mother kissed the side cheek of her son and left.
