Blake Katch's Guide To The Universe

Chapter 2

"Blake I know you heard me, and you have to do this because you owe me one remember? If you back out on this I'll just make you do something way worse like skinny dipping in front of the whole school." Savanna said with a grin and I knew that she knew that she had me,and I would do the dare. I looked towards the house and felt the prick of tears. I did not want to do this at all! This was insane , but was it worth Logan? Yes.

"Okay I'll do it. I have to go get stuff first so I'll be back and then I'll go in." I said wanting to get as far away from this place as possible, I might be able to make a run for it .

"Blake I got all the stuff you will need clothes, shoes, blanket, pillow, toothbrush everything. Your mom thinks your staying at my house." She says as my plan and hope melts away.

"Oh okay." I said not knowing what to do. I grabbed the bag savanna was holding up and started for the door.

***************************************************************************************************************

I turned the rusty door knob and pushed the creaky door open. At first I didn't go inside I just looked around. To the left was a dining room ,to the right was a double door ,straight ahead is a huge stair case, which assuming from the size of the house this place is about 3 stories high. I decided to go through the double doors to the right because I wanted to explore a little before I started settling down. I pushed open the double doors and coughed as dust flew every where. I was surprised when I saw that the room had a piano with chairs and soft looking couches spread around the room. When I saw the huge book shelves piled with books I realized that this room was a study.

I walked over to the piano and sat down on the bench. I wondered if it still worked. Pressed the keys I played my favorite song, Clair De lune, and smiled thoughtfully while I remembered my 10 years of piano lessons.

Once I finished the song I realized that this very old piano has lasted so long and it plays like it was lost in time with no damage to it at all. I'll have to come back and play it some more when I get bored, I thought to myself. Reluctantly I left the room and walked into the dining room and took in the scene. This room was completely wrecked. The walls were covered in mirrors , all of which were cracked or broken, the china looks like it's been thrown around, chairs were upside down and scattered about, the only thing that looked unfazed was a little mirror that was sitting on the scratched up dining table. There must have been some kind of struggle in this room. I left without another thought.

I stepped on the creaky stairs, testing each one before I stepped on it, afraid that it would snap and I would fall through. Finally I reached the second floor and saw a long hall way with a huge chandelier in the middle, there was soft nice carpet all through it. The only thing that stood out, that was weird to me, was that this hall way was huge, long , gorgeous, yet there were only 3 rooms and all of them were bedrooms.

The first bedroom was obviously a little girls room. The pink walls, bed, curtains, sheets, and dolls all said what I thought. I walked in and stared at the giant teddy bears. All of which I felt like they were watching me. I looked at all the little dolls at the 'tea party ' and thought about my little sister Rebecca , who is so adorable that every one is wrapped around her little finger. I walked around the room a little bit more then I left.

The second room was a boys. It was clear to me that it was a baby's room due to the crib and baby toys. There were little cars and teddy bears every where. The crib looked old and I would never put a child in that thing, it looked so old, rusty and dangerous . I wondered if the story Savanna told me was true 'cause if it was then I felt sad and scared that this family and poor little baby boy had to go through it.

The third room was fancy and beautiful. There was a huge king size bed with a cucumber and white striped bed covering. The room walls were a very clean white. There was a cute night stand with a vase that was filled with withering roses. This room was so beautiful that I mentally called dibs on sleeping there tonight. I went ahead and set my bag on the bed and walked out of the room .

I finally arrived on to the third floor after I did the long process of testing the steps again. This floor was definitely different . It was one big room. Piles of old boxes and decorations were every where, they piled all the way to the ceiling. The one very faint light hung from the ceiling. It reminded me of those scary movies that I always watch. Lokking over I spotted a mirror. This is the part where I look in the mirror. I followed my own little instructions.This is the part where the lights flicker, and I hear little kid laughter. I giggled at my little joke, I don't believe in ghosts and I'm for sure that I wont see one tonight. This is the part where I see a ghost in the mirror . Giggling some more I look in the mirror one last time. Oh my gosh what is that! I turn around frantically, I looked in the corner. Nothing. I turned back around and see it again, a little boy, standing in the corner. He was crying, his little blue eyes are filled with tears.

"Hello? Are you okay? Can I help? Are you going to hurt me? What happened? Did you live here? Whats your name? " I asked all the questions that popped into my mind before I could stop them. I turned around, he's not there. I could only see him in the mirror. Weird. I turned towards the mirror again, he was not in the corner anymore, he is right behind me. I stare at him, his tears turned to a psychotic grin. His hand outstretched like he was going to touch me.

"Your mine now! I will kill you. I want to feel your blood splash on my face and I want to taste it in my mouth. You cant run away from me now." The little boy says except he didn't sound like a little boy, he sounded like a 30 year old man. I screamed and turned to run. I fall to the ground when I run smack into some rock hard abs.

I looked up to see a very fine boy about my age stand above me. He had grey eyes and jet black hair. He looked down at me then into the mirror, I watched as his face went from confusion to sorrow to anger. What was that about? He raised his arm to show a crow bar in his hand. I curled into a ball. I'm going to die. This strange boy is going to beat me to a pulp and I'm going to die.

SMASH! I felt the broken mirror pieces fall on me and slice me like a tomato. I uncurled from my fetal position and ran. He missed me and hit the mirror instead, well at least that thing is gone. I could hear big foot steps chasing after me.

"Wait come back we need to talk to you. Trust me I'm not going to hurt you, I was going to save you. Please stop! " He yells after me. I didn't stop I didn't say anything, I kept going! as soon as I reached the second floor I stopped and kept running, but the klutz part of me had to kick in and I tripped. Big arms wrapped around me and threw me over their shoulder. I screamed but I became faint and it was hard to breath, my vision blurred. I blacked out.
