Olivia was given a task to drive her younger brother, Johnny to college for his first year but that didn't go as planned due to getting lost and stranded for the night. The next morning, they were greeted by a stranger who led them into a seemingly...

I just got back home from doing more than one house tour the entire day and already I'm getting red flags. I haven't received any messages or callsfrom Olivia and it wasn't like her to not notify me.
It is now dusk! And I don't even know if Olivia and Johnny are alright, so I pulled out my phone, attempting to contact my daughter. It was ringing at the other end but it kept saying that she's not available. I tried texting her but the messages weren't going through.
"Damn it!" I hissed in aggravation as the concern for my kids grew immensely. I know they're practically not "kids" anymore but I still consider them as my kids.
I paced back and forth, trying to contemplate on what to do, just verbally beating myself up about it. If I didn't care about my job so much, I would've had my son at his college and my daughter would've been living the life that she rightfully wanted.
Then that's when I hear an old, ghostly voice call out to me.
"Joshuaaa! Joshuaaa!...."
I shut my eyes and stressfully pinch the bridge of my nose, taking in a deep breath as I began to dread. "No.....No.......This can't be happening.......It's just a figment of my imagination......It's all in your head......" I convinced myself then I took quick strides towards the nearby bathroom, went into the medicine cabinet as my trembling hand rummages through, making a bit of a mess.
I was able to grab my prescriptions and twist open the cap, then I heard the same voice again.
"Remember what happened, Joshuaaa......Remember......"
Suddenly, a core memory flashed before my eyes, making me drop and spilled the only capsules I have left, down the toilet. I was seeing flashbacks of the horrific experience that has happened to me when I was a little boy.
Those devious creatures, those sick, twisted evil beings! Their community, their plot to eat me, my objective of destroying them, the trauma I suffered when they ate my mom and everything else.
Oh god, it's came back to haunt me!
I placed my hands firmly at my temples, dropping down to the floor as I was feeling utterly overwhelmed, horrified. I shook my head in disbelief "No.......This can't be happening......Not again!......."
"I'm afraid so, Joshua.....That's why I had to come, to inform you that both of your children are in grave danger..........As much as I don't advise this because the goblins have planned this all along. You must return to Nilbog and save my great grandchildren...." The elderly voice I recognized, spoke with great caution.
I turned to the side to see the ghost of my grandpa Seth, standing at the bathroom doorway. He looked just as I remembered.
I slowly climbed to my feet and wasn't able to wrap my head around the fact that history is repeating itself. That this whole thing with the goblins is now happening to Olivia and Johnny. I didn't want to believe it, I didn't want to remember, but whenever I see my deceased grandfather, it likely means that danger is about to happen or if it's already nearby, so he appears to help.
"But Nilbog is so far away! And I don't remember how my family arrived there, grandpa Seth, I was a kid!.....This can't be happening!.....None of this can't be real! It's either a figment of my imagination or I'm having a terrible nightmare..." I said trying to convince myself.
Then my grandfather went to firmly grab hold of the side of my arms and looked me dead in the eyes as he shook me some. "Don't be a damn fool!........" He spits out sternly. "This is no imagination or dream, Joshua.......You need to snap out of it and face the reality of what's happening..........You best go be on your way to pull your children out of that forsaken place, before it's too late!" He warned.
"But how do I get there??........I don't remember the way!...."
"Don't worry. I'll help guide you the way......Look out for the signs, Joshua......Look out for the signs......" He said then his appearance faded away as I no longer see him in front of me.
As much as I hate to admit, I must head out on a trip to goblin town to save my daughter and son. To be honest, I'm not sure what me or my grandpa done wrong back then. I thought we destroyed their kingdom until I saw the goblins at my house, eating my mother. Because of these monster's, my entire childhood was destroyed.
This time? I MUST prevent this from happening to my kids, I must get to Nilbog before something terrible happens to them.
So I went to grab a bag to pack a few things, grabbed my car keys then sprinted out of my house. I got in my car, started it up and pulled out of my driveway to be on my way to Nilbog.
"Don't worry, kids, dad's coming to save you...... I'm on my way.....Oh grandpa Seth, please be sure to help them survive somehow...........Please......." I begged as I was driving.
worried sick, I was hoping and praying that Olivia and Johnny will be okay.
