The next Morning I awoke to a strange boy standing at the foot of the bed. He had dirty blond hair and bright blue eyes that seemed to light up the room. He could be much older then me. He wasn't scary looking at all but I nearly had a heart attack due to the wake up call I had just received.
"Who are you and what do you want," I screamed.
"Please don't shout at me I'm your neighbor, my mother thought it would be nice if I showed you around the town. I didn't mean to startle you honest," the boy said calmly.
"Could you just got downstairs so I could get dressed," I said hatefully.
As the boy walked out I began to pull out my black Nikki shorts and a blue T-shirt followed by my Jordan's. I could already tell this was going to be a long day.
As I walked downstairs the boy was talking to my mom about how not a lot of people lived in this neighborhood anymore. I took up some interest over their conversation considering I was going to do anything and everything to make my parents move back to our home town.
"Are you ready to go now Jessie?" the boy asked.
"Ready then I'll ever be." "Oh, by the way I didn't catch your name." I stated.
"The names Seth, I'm fifteen the same age as you." Seth said as we walked out the door.
"So what all do you know about my house?" I asked carefully not to give myself away.
"Well, it's no wonder your parents got it for cheap they have been trying to sell this place for years. They never could because of the incident that happened inside." Seth exclaimed.
"What happened in the house?" I ask curiously.
"Well, everyone loved Mrs. Baker. She was such a sweet old lady always planting and tending to her garden, baking all sorts of goodies for her neighbors, and reading to little children at the library. One day he grand daughter, Cathy, came down to visit. When her mother, Mrs. Baker, didn't answer she called the police. She must have tripped and and fell down the stairs come down from the attic on the second floor. They tried to help her but it was already to late, she was gone.
"My last name is Baker and I have a Cusion named Cathy, do you think it could be her?"
"Only one way to find out follow me." Seth hollered as he began to peddled faster.
