The Haunting in Connecticut DOES NOT belong to me...I only wish that it did.
It was a relief being away from that house, the momories of what happened there still gave Matt nightmares when he went to sleep at night. Sometimes they were so bad that it was happening all over again or that he had never left the house. For some reason though Jonah chose to stay with him, even though he was free to move on. The even stranger part about it was that Matt could still see him even though the cancer was gone and he was no longer near death. Even Jonah who was a medium and familial with the spiritual world had no idea how to explain that. Matt's family had recovered from the trauma of living at the Aikmen house but the still were uneasy at the mention of anything remotely supernatural. He could almost laugh imaginaing their reactions if they found out that they were still living with a ghost.
Every once in a while Matt knew that Jonah would give himself away a bit. There was one time when his father found the pictures of Jonah that Matt had been keeping. His father was going to throw them out but suddenly they turned scalding hot and his father dropped them. Afterwards Jonah had said to Matt that they were just pictures and that they didn't matter, but if he wanted to keep them that much than he would help keep them safe. Another time his mother had dropped a dish that she had been washing and Jonah stopped it before it hit the floor and shattered. That one would have been a dead giveaway except for the fact that his mom was really tired at the time. Jonah tended to watch out for his family a lot, but the person he really watched out for the most was Matt. The times when Matt awoke from a nightmare Jonah would be right there comforting him, assuring him that it was all over. Overall he was a real comforting presence for him. He remembered those nights vividly. He would wake up gasping, almost a scream and sweat would be pouring off his forehead. Jonah would be right there placing a cool hand on his head and whispering in his ear that it was all over and that he wouldn't let anything happen to him. Sometimes he would sing a song to him, barely a whisper until Matt fell back asleep to a blessed, dreamless sleep.
Okay well that's it for chapter one. Please review I'm dying to know what you think of it.
