The house it haunted....!

The birds were chirping with the morning sun shining in my eyes, as well as the day we had to move out of our own house. My vision was bad and blurry but I still had to get up because mum was shouting across the house saying “Get up and pack your bags kids”. My brother David was wondering what was the whole commotion about so he yelled out “ Hey mum, Why do we have to pack our stuff and by the way, it’s only 6:00 am”. Mum said back to David “Just do as you're told and I know its a bit early but please do as I say”. David replied in a really lazy voice “ Fine”.

I didn’t mind what was happening at all because I already knew what was going to happen and I was excited but I wasn’t happy about having to leave school forever in my old town. I still had to put up with it and as I was packing I found a picture of my friends and me at my 10th birthday, My eyes filled with tears and started to drop every time I blink. I couldn’t hold in my emotions but then Mum said: “Are you ready Katie”. I replied, “Yes Mum, and Why don’t you check with David I think he might like a lending hand with packing”. Mum said, “David is all done, we’re just waiting for you now sweetie”. I hid the image inside my suitcase, zipped it up and rushed down the stairs like an elephant. Mum took my suitcase and placed it in the boot beside David’s suitcase. I sat in the car, buckled my seat belt and looked outside of my window and crying while mum placed a sign outside that said: “For Sale”.

We drove for over 3 hours and just 2 more to go but David wasn’t feeling really well he said to mum “ Mum, Can you stop the car I feel like I’m going to vomit”. Mum immediately stopped the car and that’s when David vomited. I was feeling disgusted. After 15 minutes mum hoped back into the car and started to drive again. After 2 hours we got there and Mum said “Guys I know its a bit dusty but this is all I can afford if that’s fine with you both”. David and I both cried “Of course mum It’s totally okay”.

It was Monday morning which was 72 hours (3 days) after getting everything done and the house looked just like our old house. David's room was upstairs and so was mine. But mum was downstairs all by herself.  That night at 6:00 pm I went into my room to find my headphones but it was in my draws. I pulled my draws open and but when I opened my top draw there was a weird mystery box. I opened it up and had a look inside and this weird light shined in my eyes and made my vision blurry. I couldn't see a thing until 5-10 minutes. I heard nothing but mum Stumping up the stairs coming up the stairs and saying "Hey Katie are you okay?". "Yes mum, I'm coming down now". And so I went down to have dinner. 20-25 minutes later I was walking up to my room again but this time I stopped halfway through the stairs because I heard something in the basement. I quietly walked down and "Flip," I yelled. And there was David, He looked at me and the box that was in my hand he said "What is that and where do you think you're going. I said, "Please don't tell mum, I found it in my draw the top one". David said, "Is it Magic". I said, "No, Silly it’s a box that I found that can light up if you open it". I showed David and he said to me "What are you going to do with it?". I cried "Tomorrow on our way to school I am going to through it into the ocean". David said" Okay, I'm you're gonna do that because I want the family to be safe.

It was time to go to school. And I hid the box in my bag and on our way I turned to the left footpath which was to the ocean and I through the box away and ran back to David, somehow he was almost 3 meters away from me. I ran as fast as I could and finally, I caught up to him and yelled: “What the hell David, Why didn’t you wait for me”. He replied, “Ohh Sorry I forgot”. We kept walking until we got to school I hugged David and said: “Have a good day”. David Replied, “You too”.  Late afternoon David and I were playing outside the house and was almost 5:00 pm. Mum yelled, “Katie and David, come inside now”. I said to David “ Last one in is in tomorrow”. It was a tie, After we had dinner I asked mum If we could sleep with her tonight and the only thing she said was “Okay”.

Mum’s bed was so comfy and mine was okay but not as comfy as mums, we slept until 8.00 am in the morning and when we woke up mum already prepared our breakfast. She made us French toast and hot chocolate. I hardly never ate because I was still worried about the mystery box I found, I wanted to see what was inside but firstly I had no time and second of all I through it away and it's properly long gone beyond the reef.  One thing I still remembered was that the box had something inside that was glowing, but I didn't actually get to see what was inside. I said to myself "Wait for a second, I think I know what it was, I think it was a magical gem or a magical amulet. Something like that". "Ughh" yelled.

10 minutes after I said "Ughh" The picture that was in mum's room started to move and the man started blinking....... I was speechless that time. David walked in and started screaming. Mum came and said "what the whole commotion about. Are you to okay?". As soon as mum started talking everything was normal.

1 years later..

It was time for us to move back because David and I told Mum what happened. It was like we were going to have a heart attack just because we spoke for too long. Finally, mum made up her mind and wanted to move back to our old house and never go back to the haunted house that we live in for a year. The only good thing about the house was that we didn't have to pay the bills. Not even a single bit.

2 months later..

It was David's birthday. He invited a few of his friends over for a feast. The cake that mum baked was so nice and yummy. It was a cheesecake topped with dark melted chocolate. After the feast, David's friend's parents came over to pick their kids up and then it was just us three. We were a quiet family. But at the end of the day, we were a team and always was.

3 months later the same thing that happened at the old haunted house that was in the middle of nowhere. We were all freaking out. But we couldn’t move of stand because this time it was the whole house that was shaking. I did nothing but yelled across the house “Is the house haunted! Did the ghost follow us here?!”.
