Once we are upstairs ,Ellie leads me to where her room is
I start to look around,the house is very different compared as how it was the last time I went there ,the walls were red and now they are yellow
As soon as we reach Ellie's room,she starts opening the door,and then I can see a lot of toys already prepared
Ellie starts walking towards one of her stuffed animals and she catches it
Ellie:"Hey (my name) let me show you all my stuffed animals,for example,the one Im holding rn it's Rosie and as you can see,she is a cow" Then she drops it on the floor and catches another one
Ellie:"This is Nark,he is a dog" She says smiling
Then she starts showing me restof them,and no one of them got my attention but the last one
Ellie has caught a tiger and starts doing its presentation
Ellie:"This is one is Ashley,she is the newest one.ma daddy gave me it a couple of hours ago" If the name was already suspicious,look at what is gonna happen
Then I expected her to drop it to the floor,but instead of that she handles it to me
Me:"What do you want me to do with it,Ellie?" She smiles while Im confused
Ellie:"My daddy said he found it in front of your house a couple of hours ago and he told me to give it to you" Wait what? This is kinda confusing and Im worried rn ,why there was a stuffed tiger with HER name in front of my house?
I started getting nervous but I try my best to seem normal cuz Ellie is in front of me
Ellie:"I-is anything wrong? A-am I being annoying or something like that" Damn she is almost about to cry so I guess I need to do something quickly
Me:"Don't worry Ellie,everything is ok,btw I love your stuffed animals,they are really cute"
She smiles and starts jumping around as if there were no tomorrow
Ellie:"Yeah (my name) has said my toys are cute (Starts running downstairs towards her brother is and I can hear her yelling) Did you hear Erik, he likes my stuffed animals!" Somehow she gets upstairs really quick, which is surprising cuz she didnt fall off or something like that
Ellie:"Yeah Im so happy right now, anyways which one of my stuffed animals do you wanna be?" She points to her stuff animals and after thinking for a while, I finally decide myself
Me:"I choose Aria"
Aria was a teddy bear and tbh I like her the most among Ellie's stuffed animals
Ellie:"Ohhh so you wanna be a teddy bear , oh it means you're most likely to be cuddled" She giggles
I really wonder why does she like me ,I mean does she think Im cute or?
Ellie takes Aria and handles it to me
Now its her turn,and she keeps thinking for a while until she finally makes her choice
Ellie:"Ohh could I be the tiger Ashley? (Looks at me) Im already accustomed to using the rest so I wanna try something new"
Uh I must admit Im kinda feeling uncomfortable rn but her cute sight makes me ignore my feelings
Me:"Of course you can Ellie,the tiger might be mine but it is your room anyways"
Ellie:"Thank u so much!" Then she catches the tiger and starts speaking again
Ellie:"Now I gotta ask you a question (my name) you wanna play in a castle or in any other place?" She looks at me ,waiting for a response
Me:"Oh ,I would rather the castle"
Then both of us start playing and pretending we are in a castle
A couple of hours later
We are playing now in a beach,we are enjoying it until I hear a car engine ,then I peek at the window and see my sister Allison getting out of Hailey parents car ,then I can see both my parents going to get her and smiling,after giving their goodbyes they enter at our house
Ellie notices I stopped playing with her and she asks me if everything is fine,I dont reply so she walks towards me,luckily or unfortunately the car has gone and the street is empty,so she doesnt understand what is going on
Ellie:Hello! ,are you alright? Do you want me to call daddy and mommy?" She hugs my leg and I look down ,after that I rub her hair
Me:"Dont worry Ellie,you do not need to worry abt it (Then an idea comes to my mind) Hey,do you want a cookie?" I knew she would like it and of course,she is happily runing downstairs towards the kitchen,so it is difficult for me to follow her
Once I reach the kitchen I open the door and see an impatient Ellie getting a chair
Me:"Hey you fearless girl, let me take the cookie box for you before you get damaged" She notices me and puts the chair back at where it was
I get the cookie box and I clearly see Ellie looking at it ,unfortunately the box is closed
Me:"Hey,while I try to open this,why dont you call Erik to see if he wants one?" She yells and Erik comes as fast as he can ,I understand it cuz Stark told me both of them like cookies
When I finally open it I give one to Ellie and another one to Erik
Ellie and Erik:"Thanks!" Then Erik starts eating his cookie while Ellie hasnt yet ,then Erik finishes the cookie and goes back to watch TV while Ellie just stands up there
Me:"Ellie? Why you still havent eaten your cookie?" Then Ellie breaks her cookie in two parts and offered it to me
Me:"Oh thanks,that was really kind for your part" Then I start eating my part of the cookie while Ellie keeps standing there without doing anything" Ok this is worring me,Ellie had never done this before
Me:"Hey Ellie,I know something is wrong so, what is going on through that head?" She starts looking at me ,not knowing what to say
Ellie:"U-uh we-well I-Its just that..." Then she starts walking towards the bathroom and she closes the door behind her,so I go after her
When I reach the bathroom,I can hear Ellie crying from the other side,of course I could open the door cuz Im stronger than her but that is not the correct way to solve whatever the problem is
Me:"Hey Ellie listen to me, you dont need to explain anything if you dont want to,but I just want to help you,nothing more/less"
Then she stops weeping and tries to talk
Ellie:"W-who's her?" What? what did Ellie mean with it
Me:"What do you mean?" Then I hear her sobbing
Ellie:"I-I saw you with a girl this morning when you entered at your house a-and then she ran away,but she went back a couple of hours later and knocked at our door and when daddy opened her she said she was lost,then my dad gave her some instructions and when he closed the door we found that teddy bear"
Wow,Idk if its more surprising all what happened or the fact a little girl like Ellie remembers it and its able to tell me that with all those details
Me:"Oh but why are you crying cutie?" Then I heard on the other side again
Ellie:"I-is she your girlfriend? (I wasnt waiting for that question tho) cu-cuz if so then I just dont w-wanna make her jealous or whatever"
Ashley? My girlfriend? This has to be a joke
Me:"No Ellie,she is not my girlfriend so dont worry, and if she were then she would better not be jealous at you cuz I would get mad at her,understood?" Apparently this has calmed her , so its my chance to make her get off the bathroom
Me:"Now can you please go here? As far as I know we still have to pretend we are in Cookieland,dont we?" That makes her open the door (which wasnt totally closed) and run towards my leg (Yeah seemingly she has something with my leg)
Ellie:"Hehe you cant catch me" Then she starts running upstairs as I try to reach her
9:04 PM
Ellie and I are playing until we suddenly hear the door being opened,and of course the little girl starts running (Why she isnt tired yet?,that will be kept as a mistery)
I go downstairs to see Ellie hugging her mom while Stark is behind her
Erin:"Hello (my name)" She salutes me
Me:"Hello Erin" Then I can see Ellie jumping up and down clearly wanting to say all what she has done today
Stark:"Dont worry Ellie,you will be able to tell us everything during dinner,but now let mom go upstair and put her pajamas on" Then Erin walks upstairs as an impatient Ellie follows her
When they are upstaris,Stark starts talking to me
Stark:"Hey,how did my daughter behave today? Was she a good girl?" He asks me
Me:"Yeah but can I ask you a question Stark?" Then Stark looks at me,wondering what Im gonna say
Me:"Dont worry its nothing serious,it is just that im wondering something,where does Ellie get all that energy" Then Starks laughs as he keeps looking at me
Stark:"Haha that is a mistery,we still havent found out yet,it was easier to find out he likes you than that" Yeah I guess it will always be a mistery
Me:"Oh well then I wont question it" Then Stark says something that gets my attention
Stark"Can I tell something to you? I love both of my children equal but to be honest I think Ellie's health is a bit better than Erik's,I mean he isnt fat or whatever but just look,Im sure if she participated in the 500 miles of Indiapolis she would beat all the drives" Then we start chuckling until Ellie comes back
Stark:"Uh well I think you should return to your house ,your parents might be waiting for you to arrive" Yeah (Sarcastically) Im sure they are waiting for me instead of playing with Allison
I walk towards the door and then Ellie stops me
Ellie:"B-byeee , thank u for playing with me today" She gets sad
Me:"Oh Ellie this is not the last time we will see each other,just remember that my house is next to yours and viceversa so if you ever wanna come to my house just say it" Then she smiles , and so do I
Ellie:"Ohhh,okay,btw you almost forgot this" She has Ashley in her hands, and right now I wish I didnt need to bring the teddy to my house,but knowing the fact Stark is looking at me I prefer not to be rude and accept it
Me:"Thanks"
Ellie:"You are welcome"
Stark:"Goodbye and take care!" Then he closes the door so I walk towards my house
When I reach my house, my mom comes to open the door
Mom:"So you are back..." She is serious and Idk why
Me:"Yeah ,I have looked after them during the entire afternoon,it was funny tho"
Mom:"And that teddy?" My mom points to the teddy
Me:"Ellie gave me it" I dont know if she believes me nor I care abt it
Mom:"Huh? Really? Ok,then come to take dinner, Allison and your father are already eating it"
Then I follow her towards the kitchen where of course they were eating
Dad:"Allison,your brother is back" My dad looks at me,he is still angry,then I take a sit and I start eating with them
The dinner was interesting,my parents were angry at me but apparently not as much as they were this morning
We end up our dinner and my parents start washing the dishes ,after that we watch a film and then we go to sleep
1:20 AM
I have just woken up due to a nightmare,it was something referred to that teddy
It wasnt like the typical horror films,moreover it was actually the opposite, as if my dreams wanted to warn me abt something real,I mean not something like a ghost or so,furthermore something abt a real person , then I look at my window and I get surprised cuz I see a shadow looking towards my window....,but when I look again I see the shadow running off,that was weird...
