it took us two weeks to set up the new house and sort everything out dad went to work everyday and had the weekends off so i was doing most of it i cooked nearly every day and also started going to school this week i had made new friends but i was still reminded of Michelle

the house was set with all our old and new possessions. A man had come from the t.v store to mount the 20" black plasma that dad had brought i sat on the comfy sofa and decided to finish my book yes that's right I hadn't been able to finish the last chapters as I was busy sorting out our new home. Unfortunately as I started to read the doorbell rang i went to open it there was a girl standing there she seemed to be about ten years old she had light brown hair and lovely blue eyes she was holding something that was wrapped up but looked like food

"hi my name kira, i brought lassangya i live next door whats your name?" she asked quite quickly

"uh hi I'm Nadine, and um thanx?" i said as i took the dish from her. she just stood there not moving

"oh sorry where are my manners, come on in" i told her as i moved away from the door i walked into the kitchen after i signalled for her to sit down i placed the dish on the worktop, got two cokes from the fridge and went back to the guest she was looking at the book and flicking through the pages I groaned to myself, I hadn't marked the page oh well never mind I'd find the page easily, I smiled at her and handed her the coke she said thank-you I told her that i would drop the dish off tomorrow

"thats fine, theres no hurry mom said you could take your time. BTW love your plasma"

"thanks" I laughed "so who else in your family"

"my mum and me that's it my dad left when I was young he never cared" 

"i'm sorry" I felt bad for bringing it up  

"its fine don't worry about it. So what about you do you have any younger siblings?" she asked excitedly as she lifted her shoulders  

No, sorry Its me and my dad that's it my mom died when I was really young I have no sisters or brothers"

"oh its ok" she shrugged looking upset  I'm sorry you know about your mum must be awful not having your mum around I couldn't live without mine" she looked upset  

"hey don't worry about it. I'm use to it, Looks like we both have sad stories" we talked for a while longer then Kira announced she had to go so once again I was alone I decided to go sit under the tree in the yard and read. So I was sat under the tree reading Enjoying the Chase (kirsty1000s book ill change it if she wants me to). I thought I saw something move near my feet I looked from above my book but saw nothing I laughed at myself for being silly, but as I started reading again I saw something move once again, 'this is ridiculous' I thought "hello is anyone there" now I felt ridiculous I laughed at myself once again and decided to get myself a drink I stood up and put my book face down on the ground as I went in to get my drink. I opened the fridge that was jam packed with edibles I took out a coke and went back outside to read when I got to the tree I noticed my book wasn't there i was sure I left it on the ground where was it I spun around still looking for my book but couldn't see it I might of left it inside I thought so I went inside to take a look but it wasn't there I looked outside and there it was right where I left it only this time it was closed I shook my head at how weird this was I went back outside to read I was up to the part when rosie had just met Nates mum when I heard my dad in the kitchen I closed my book and went inside 

"evening dad" I greeted half heartedly

"hey hun, what's wrong?" I just shook my head and told him I still hadn't been able to finish my book

"oh I'm sorry hunny bear, maybe you can finish it tomorrow hmm?" I nodded "so how's my favorite daughter? how was school?"  He asked as he gave me hug  

"Your only daughter is fine and school was good" we got no homework today thats why it was good I warmed up dinner whilst dad went to wash up then we ate the lasagna that Kira had bought over it was really nice after dinner we washed up whilst talking about our day this was a tradition that would never change. After washing up I went to the sitting room and decided to watch some t.v dad walked in and sat beside me  

"dont you have homework" 

"no" I told him not looking away from the t.v  

Then I remembered what happened outside this afternoon "something weird happened today" 

" oh yeah what?"  

"well my book disappeared" I went on to tell him he was looking quiet amused near the end  

"what you think fairies took your book closed it then put it back?" He asked doing funny hand gestures 

"no dad I don't believe in fairies" I let him know crossing my arms and sitting back.  

"maybe you were just tired, you read to much, your imagination runs away with you, remember when you read a book on talking fish and you swore you heard you fish talking?" he asked quite amused I folded my arms across my chest and sighed quiet loudly

"I'm not making this up dad, I know what I saw" I told him rather upset he raised his eyebrows at me as if to say 'really' I rolled my eyes and looked at the t.v not wanting to talk to the man

"ok I'm gonna go bed its nine I've got work in the morning,  I want you to be in bed by ten thirty ok?" 

he instructed

"ok" I saluted, dad left the room laughing I smiled it was nice to see him smile he didn't laugh much since mum died. maybe I had just imagined it I thought I was bought out of my thought when I heard scratching noises coming from the kitchen rats,  I thought nah no way maybe a squirrel there was a field beyond the garden hmm could be I had to investigate so I stood up and started to tiptoe across the room into the kitchen the scratching still hadn't stopped there was nothing In the kitchen the sound was coming from outside I looked towards the glass door I could see something in the dark I unlocked the back door and went outside I saw something running towards the tree "wait!" I called out why would I call out to a squirrel? it wasn't a squirrel it was running on two legs squirrels run on all four I stopped running before I hit the tree the small thing ran into the opening of the tree. I would investigate more in the morning it was way to dark and I was tired. I walked back into the house,  looking towards the tree as I locked the door and went to the stairs at the top I took the door on the left and went into my room which contained my king size bed fitted wardrobes around the bed and desk with a chair for my computer I had a bay window which meant I had a big window sill I could sit on there doing my homework, to read, or talk to Michelle. I got dressed for bed then I went to the bathroom which was right opposite my room I brushed my teeth, washed my face then left the bathroom and went into my own room I got under my duvet after turning off the light, what was that tonight could it be a fairy nah I laughed fairies don't exist ..... right?

how was it vomment
