The sun leaked though the trees as they drove down a long drive way, Saylor's eyes fixed on the house that was sitting at the end of the drive way. The car slowly stopped as her father set his hand on her arm and spoke. "Everything's going to be ok…I promise you will love this place." He slowly got out of the car as he met the realtor. Her father Ben wasn't tall but skinny though as he stood a little shorter than the realtor. "She would be taller than anyone in those whore heels" Saylor thought to herself as she brushed her brown bangs out of her eyes and slid her sunglasses down as she got out of the car slamming the door behind her making them both take a glance at her. Looking up at the huge log house she took in a deep breathe trying to take it all in…living in the middle of nowhere, no friends, no life.
Hearing her father walk up behind her reaching over her shoulder holding out the house key waiting for her to grab it. She didn't want it. She didn't want to live in this huge house by herself. Her father would be gone on business trips for months on end. That's all she knew. Saylor's mother had passed away on her 6th birthday leaving her alone with her workaholic father. Grabbing the key she walked up to the wooden door and unlocked it.
As soon as she turned the door knob and pushed the door open. There was a gust on something. Something she couldn't tell what. But whatever it was it wasn't good. Looking inside at the dark cold house she froze, not able to move one bit as her chest became heavy. "What do you think" The voice snapped her out of whatever she was in as she heard the realtor's car leave. Her father walked in the house and turned on the living room lamp and started to open all the curtains. The houses darkness started to slowly go away as she stepped into the house she looked around more. It was a nice house…big
As they got the car unloaded her father said his goodbyes and he was gone, a month he had told her, only a month and he would be back, but she knew it would be longer. Dragging her bags up the stairs to her bedroom slipping up the stairs the whole way. When she final got to her room she dropped her bags on the floor and let out a huge sigh looking around at the emptiness. One large bed was lying in the corner and that was it. No color just wood…everywhere
Sitting on the end of her bed dropping her head into her hands she felt the tears form in her eyes hated being alone 24/7. Not moving she felt a set of hands slowly slid up her back as she jumped up turning around. There was nothing there. Swallowing hard she looked around fear over coming her. "Those damn ghost stories good one Saylor watch another one why don't cha!" she cursed at herself and shook her head opening a box and started unpacking a few things. 'thump' She heard the sound out in the hallway. Staring at her half opened door she heard it again 'thump' 'thump' slowly getting to her feet she walked to her door looking out into the hallway. 'Thump' 'Thump' The sound started to get louder and faster, Getting closer to her. 'THUMP' It stopped right in front of her as her she started to breath faster and harder frozen in place. She couldn't believe what she was hearing The around her got cold as she got chills up her legs slowly creeping up her arms letting out a staggered breath she could see it in the air. 'thump thump thump thump thump' The sound of something running at her slamming the door and locking it the sound stopped.
She had to shake it off "Its all in your head saylor…its all in your head" That's what father use to tell her when she was younger after seeing and hearing her dead mother everyday. Not so much anymore though. Shaking her head she walked over to her boxes and started to un pack them finding her old radio plugging it in and started to play some music.
Music was blaring throughout the entire house as she danced cleaning up at the same time. The music started to cut out as she stopped running back upstairs to check her radio the music stopped as soon as she got to her bedroom door. She tried turning it back on a few times before slamming it on the dresser cursing under her breath "Stupid piece of shit...work" Following the cord she noticed it had came unplugged. "What the…" she didn't even get to finish her sentence before the radio started blaring even louder than before. Covering her ears as she stared at the unplugged radio as it shut off again. Slowly she reached for the radio as it turned on again blaring music she had never heard before. Grabbing the radio she ran downstairs and out the front door throwing it into the yard as it broke into pieces.
The sun had just started disappearing behind the trees that surrounded the house. Turning back around staring at the inside of the now dark house she didn't want to go back in but she had no chose.
