I was on my way to somebody's house that I didn't know, my mother driving the car as I sat next to her, listening to music on my ipod that I didn't remember getting..... We'd just pulled into the driveway of the strangers house when I looked up and saw how.... Oh what's the word... Well, lets just say abnormal... it was three stories up, the top pointing to the heavens with an odd looking spire on the top.... We got out of the car and went to the front door. "Do I really have to stay here all night?" I asked my mother, hopping she'd say no... "Yes, you do... try to have at least a little fun.... And go get your bag." I ran back to the car, grabbing my massive back pack from the trunk, closing it and running back as a man opened the door and greeted us. "Ah, Lea! So good to see you again! And I see you brought your boy with you! Wonderfull! I'm sure he'll get along nicely with the girls! Do come in, it's awfully cold today." This guy seemed all right.... So I shouldered my bag and went inside, looking around at the insides of the house. It seemed like your average house on he inside, except for the stairs going down into a small square area with just three pictures... The stairs going up seemed normal, all except their shape... I went over to the couch, plopping down on it and cloing my eyes, opening one after about a minute as I felt someone crawl up onto the couch. It was a little girl, about six or seven.... She was wearing a frilly pink tutu with a shirt that said "Q tea pie" She was tugging on my hoodie arm, trying to get my attention. I turned my head towards her, pulling off my head phones and letting out an "Mm?" She Got off of the couch, grabbing my hand and trying to pull me off the couch. I got up as she pulled me towards the stairs, to tired to argue that I didn't want to go upstairs. As she pulled me upstairs, I saw a snobbish looking teen, looking about thirteen or fourteen, so around my age, coming up from the square room, glaring daggers at me for no apparent reason. When we got to the second floor, she eagerly pulled me towards her room, which I assumed was the one with little stickers and sparkles on it. She opened the door and presented her room to me, looking extremely proud of how she decorated it. But I had to admit, it was a nice looking room.... She pointed at a spot on the ground, and said "You sleep there" she smiled at me, then went to her toy bin and messing aroud with some toys. I layed out my amazing sleeping bag, so glad that I remembered it this time.... Then it hit me, the reason the other girl was glaring at me, was because her father didn't trust her alone with me. I grinned, chuckling a bit as I set out my stuff on the sleeping bag, which was a flashlight, batteries, a drawing journal, pencils, pens, colored pencils, a sharpener, my lucky fighter jet key chain, attatched to my keys, a charger for my tablet and ipod, my tablet, a few pairs of clothes, just in case we got stuck here because of the storm, and my favorite purple hoodie that my girlfriend gave me. I nodded as ever thing looked right, making sure my tablet pen was still on my tablet. I got up, going back downstairs to see my mother and the man talking... Of course... I looked around for mrs. Snobby when she appeared behind me, scaring the living crap out of my."Holy crap!" I screamed, turning aroud and seeing her giggling. I growled at her, resisting the urge for revenge... I sighed, holding out my hand. "I'm Jaden, you?" She rolled her eyes and shook my hand. "I'm Krystal, the other girl was my little sister Carlie. " I let go of her hand, putting my hand in my hoodie pocket. "Welp.... It's late, so imma go hit the hay, night." I looked back as I walked towards the stairs, seeing Krystal glaring at her father. I just smiled and went up stairs, going ack into Carlies' room, putting my stuff away and laying in my sleeping bag. "Carlie, could you be quiet while I'm trying to sleep please?" She nodded, yawing a bit. She decided it was bed time to, so she got into her bed. Her bed was a pretty big one, enough to fit at least three people... As I dozed off, I heard thunder in the distance, smiling to myself for being prepared. I was awoken by a plush bunny hitting my face. I sleepily looked around, seeing rain pound on the window when I saw a flash of lightning, followed by thunder. That got me up real quick. I saw who had thrown the bunny. It was Carlie, she was crying softly, huddled in the corner of her bed... I got up ad went over, sitting on her bed as she got up a clinged to me. "Shhhh... It's ok.... it's just a storm...." I patted her back, but she shook her head and said "T-that's not why I'm crying..." I lifted an eyebrow, confused as she pointed at her door. "I went to go see sissy, a-and she had no eyes!" She buried her face into my chest, sobbing uncontrollably. I looked down at her "She had no eyes....?" Carlie nodded as I pulled her off of me, going to my backpack at grabbing the flashlight and batteries. As I turned the flashlight on, I realized that I was slightly transparent. Carlie gasped and hid under the blanket as we heard scratching at the door. I locked the door, thankful that the lock was silent... The scratching stopped... I heard footsteps of whatever it was heading for the stairs.... Carlie ran over to me, clinging to my arm.... That was a mistake... Suddenly I was Carlie, not all the way though... But I could feel her breathing, I could hear her thoughts, I could feel her hands balled into fists... She was in shock... I didn't know what to do, but I tried reaching down for her, but she mimicked my movements.... Holy crap, I had possessed her. I could still see myself, but I could see Carlie to. I walked over to the mirror and saw it.... It was Carlie in the mirror, but I was there to, right behind her. I realized that her joints had tiny strings on them, leading up to mine. I moved my left hand, she moved hers... Carlie was in total shock. "Carlie.... Don't be scared... I'm still here... " was all I could get out before someone, something, started banging on the door. I put my hand over my mouth, Carlie mimicking my action as I could here her brain screaming in panic, her heartbeat rapidly increasing... I had an idea... I tried thinking back to her, hoping she could hear my thoughts... "Carlie." I thought "Calm down, I'll protect you..." Her internal screaming started to quiet down, and I heard her say. "I-i don't wanna die...." I thought back "I'm not gonna let you die..." I reached into my pocket, feeling my pocket knife, pulling it out. Carlie mimicked me, except she was holding the pocket knife. "Oh god.... this'll be a pain..." I picked up the flashlight, it going into Carlies' hand... I unlocked the door, trying to make Carlie stop mimicking me. Successfully, I unlocked it, not Carlie. So that's it? I just had to tell her to not mimick me? Huh... I opened the door slowly, looking out... Nothing.... I told Carlie to mimick me again. Carlie slowly walked out of the room, looking around, keeping the flashlight off. I closed the door quietly. Carlie then set off for Krystals' room, tip toeing the entire way. We saw that the door was wide open, nobody inside... We turned back, quickly heading towards the stairs... We heard somebody crying downtairs... It was Krystal.... Carlie tiptoed down the stairs. As soon as she made it to the ground floor, she hid behind the couch. I peeked up from the couch, looking around to see if Krystal was there.... Boy was she... I didn't need to see her to know where she was... She was in the square room... I heard her whispering something.... I couldn't make it out... I told Carlie to stay put, and walked over to the stairs going into the square room, and sure enough, there was Krystal, on her knees with her head in her hands. But... She knew I was there somehow. She slowly turned back towards me, her empty eye sockets staring at me as blood was flowing fom them. "ThIs Is YoUr FaUlT." I ran back to Carlie, telling her to mimick me again. Carlie made a run for the door as ablood curtling screech was heard. Carlie opened the door, runnkng outside as I slamed it shut behind us. I went back to Carlie...Both cars were gone.... Of course, the one night the adults had to go out to a party.... We heard a loud crash as Krystal rammed into the front door, screeching at the top of her lungs.... Carlie turned as Krystal broke down the door. Carlie ran as fast as she could, which meant as fast as I could. We turned, seeing Krystal lunge at us. And that's when I woke up in cold sweat, realizing it was all a dream.... I curled up into a ball ad cied for awhile... trying to understand what happened....
