Chapter One - Moving Day

We had just moved to a brand new house on Plant Island, after managing to convince Thwok to move there I had been consistently looking for estates, I had finally found the perfect home for us. It was a nice two story home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. There was no basement, just the main floor and an upstairs. The kids wanted their own bedrooms so it was perfect for us.

We pulled up to the house, it was located not to close to any of the neighbours, around some trees with an open lake with a small dock containing old rope probably used for tying up canoes or small boats the previous family must've had.

"Lets go inside!" Dean yelled excitedly. "Hold up I need to get the house key!" Thwok laughed. We were both happy to have the kids be so excited, they had never moved off of Wublin Island before, so this was special for them.

I looked around at the surroundings, they were just so peaceful to me. The way the sun beamed on the leaves of the trees and touched the surface of the ground made me happy. This was where we really belonged.

I looked back to the house, the kids were already inside looking at the place. I seen Thwok handling a few boxes into the house to get them set up. We weren't use to living in such a large house, the previous one we had was small and cramped.

"Need some help?" I asked him.

"Huh? Oh, uh nope I'm good" He replied to me obviously about to fall with all the boxes in his hands.

"Here, let me help you with that" I laughed. He was such a dork.

Thwok smiled nervously and continued inside the house, I followed and dropped the boxes off on the floor going to get some more.

I looked around the house, the living room was nice and spacious, and it was attached to the dining room that led to the open kitchen.

"Hey Whajje? Mind helping me with this?" I heard Thwok grunt as he tried to lift a large dresser into the house by himself.

"You know you should've just left it in the moving van so we could've both taken it out, it would've been easier" I sighed.

"Yeah, yeah I know" He snickered.

"Let's go see the upstairs!" Lauren yelled, the rest of the kids following her.

"Guys, Guys slow down! I know you're excited but we don't want you running around with all these boxes in the way. You'll end up with a broken neck." Thwok laughed.

The kids proceeded upstairs to check it out. Thwok and I managed to get the relatively large dresser into the living room where it was out of the way.

- A few hours later

We had gotten quite a bit of stuff settled, The couches were in the living room, the beds on the upstairs were coming together, and other things were being packed into the house.

I was setting up Olivia's room, putting some pictures on her dresser and getting things settled in. I turned the lamp on since it was starting to get dark and put the pictures down, setting them down nicely along with a few other items she owned.

Something... Rather unexpected had occurred.

While I was setting down the pictures the lamp that I had previously turned on without the shade placed on it suddenly went out.

I just decided to brush it off as possibly the light bulb burned out, or it was possibly loose. I fiddled around with it for a few seconds before it turned on again, Lighting up the room like it was supposed to do.

I turned around continuing to place everything down on the dresser, within seconds the lamp that had just went out powered off again.

This time I felt myself getting sceptical, I was confused, but also for some reason I felt an unexplained fear enter my body.

"Don't think of it Whajje... It's just... The power..." I told myself trying to calm myself down.

Suddenly I felt sick. A feeling of myself passing out and throwing up didn't mix well with me, it also didn't help the current situation I was in with the odd light happenings.

I immediately left the room in panic, apparently Thwok saw me.

"Whajje? What's wrong?" He asked confused and worried.

"I just... Don't feel well..." I said to him. I didn't want to tell him about the sudden light mischief since he'd probably think I was crazy.

"How so?" he asked.

"It's nothing Thwok I-I'm sure of it. I probably just have some sort of short-lasting bug" I tried to assure him.

"Well, if you think so. You should lay down and try to get better, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow... You need anything?" He said.

"No... I'm just going to lay down. I'm sure it'll pass soon." I replied.
