The inside was white, the stairs were high up, there was also other stairs to the attic, it had five enormous rooms, each of the rooms had their own bathrooms in them and there was also another bathroom downstairs, it had a huge kitchen, and the two attics and basement were also huge.

Ethan and Raphael were helping mum carry some stuff in the house while I continued to check out the house.

Mum walked in the house carrying a heavy looking box, she honestly looked like we was struggling to carry the box, "Should I help you with that?", I asked her, rushing over to help her out.

"Yes please", mum replied. After putting the box down, mum looked at me and asked," What do you think of the house?".

" It's not bad, though I like our old house more", I replied. To be honest, it does really look better than our old house, it's more sophisticated and everyting is just way bigger but it doesn't feel like home. There is also something erratic about this house and it's giving me chills. "Oh, I'm sure after sometime of living here you'll like it more than the old house,just give it some time", mum said

"Yea, maybe", I said vaguely . "Ok now, enough talking, let's go help your brothers carry some stuff in", mum said.

While mum was sweeping and dusting the house, Ethan, Raphael and I were bringing some stuff in the house.

"I'm taking the room in the attic", I said, I mean I had to own my things and make it clear. "Ok, then I'm taking the room beneath yours", Raphael said, " And I'm taking the room next to Raphael's", Ethan said.

After cleaning up the house, mum and I made dinner.

"Hmmmm, yum yum, spaghetti and meatballs, my favourite", Ethan said.

"I know, that's why I made it", mum said with a smile and put a plate with spaghetti and meatballs in front of him then sat down on her seat.

"Sooo, what do you guys thinks of the house?", mum asked.

"I think it's cool", Ethan said, " It's a place I can get use to", Raphael said. "It's not bad", I said."Can I ask you something mom?", Ethan asked, " Yea sure sweetie", mum replied.

"Why didn't dad come with us?", Ethan asked. Mum stayed quiet for sometime then replied with an obvious lie, "It's because he had some work to finish over there"

" So is he coming when his done?", Ethan asked, "Yes", mum replied.

Raphael and Ethan don't know much about mum's and dad's divorce because mum always came up with some dumb lie whenever they started to notice anything about them fighting.

"When do you think he's coming", Raphael asked, "I don't know", mum said.

We were quiet for sometime then Raphael broke the silence, "So how long are we staying here?"

"We are staying here for a looong time", mum said, dragging the word long.

"So it's a long vacation?", Raphael said. He seemed to be suspicious of mum but pretends to not know anything. "Yea, let's just say that", mom said trying to hide her nervous expression

We finished our food then the boys went to their rooms to continue unpacking their stuff while mum and I were washing the dishes.

" Have you found us a school already?", I asked mum as we were washing the dishes. " Yea, why?", mum asked.

"Just asking", I replied. After sometime I heard someone call my name."Can you hear that?", I asked mum."Hear what?", mum asked,"Nevermind", I replied

" Mia, Mia, leave this house now", I heard someone say that angrily. " Don't tell me you didn't hear that", I said.

"I didn't, what did you hear?", mum asked, " I heard someone say, Mia, Mia, leave this house now and he sounded angry"

"Are you sure?, maybe you just thinking of someone saying that", mum said.

"Oh, perhaps", I said.

After washing the dishes we went to our rooms.
