~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been years since Piper had thought about ghosts, even more years since she had seen one. They had moved on, had another kid, built their family in a house that needed the positivity and love. They planted that love deep within the stained blood, used it to try and free the land from the evil clutches.
But even though she thought everything was okay, even though she thought only love was there, she was wrong.
Katie was around seventeen, was the perfect child in the eyes of her parents. All blame and responsibility went to her. Grades were perfect, the teams she was apart of did well. She never had a boyfriend.
During the night, the loneliness hit. The sadness followed it closely.
Maddie was fifteen, with a body that attracted the boys and a low self esteem that kept them. She was never told she was enough, was never told that she was great. In the eyes of her parents, Katie was the good one, the responsible one.
She took what the boys gave her because she didn't have anything else to take.
Little Nikki was five, with dark hair and eyes just as colorful as her mother's. She was the only kid born from the blood of both Piper and Jason, the only kid that was fully both of theirs. Her siblings remained jealous, she thought they hated her.
Love. It was meant to fill the house, meant to nurture the land. But all it did was hide from sight the hate that was boiling up.
