The House
Inspired by 7 Days To Live and The Amityville Horror
This story is hopefully going to be one of my best. Hopefully this will get some reviews and some comments that are well…good. We all know me as Katrina Elric but due to my dumbness I cannot remember my password.
The house was empty and desolate and there was no sound, maybe except for the sound of a pipe leak. As you walk into the door you see the cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and dust smothering the furniture.
Fast forward 200 years later…
A woman with cloudy gray eyes and long raven hair walked into the doorway jingling her keys. Her eyes immediately drew to the ceiling where there was nothing but grubbiness. She put the keys down next to the door on a delicately carved table. As she walked her footsteps echoed through out the house giving her an eerie feeling that she was not alone. "What a house, it's my birthday and my ignorant brother bought me this damn shit of a house" the corners of her mouth turned down.
True it was her birthday and doubly true that her older brother, Nyo, bought this house for her. Her brother was technically the only family she had left, yet she had her two friends Kani and her brother Shere Khan.
Her party was a normal one up until she opened the box containing a present from Nyo. At first, she thought it to be a set of car keys, but remembering now, she couldn't drive.
"Yo! Is anyone in there!" a voice called from outside. She shook her head and snapped out of her daze. "Tiger? Tiger when did you get here? Is Kani with you?" she made her way back to the door, being careful to not step on anything. "Sure and Nyo is here too" Tiger, of course, was Kenni's nickname for Shere Khan. She started calling him that out of laziness, and besides he reminded her of the storybook tiger. His hair was pulled back into a bun with a few strands in his face, the black of his hair contrasted nicely with the darkness of his skin. His sister and he came from India, being slaves until Nyo and Kenni rescued them from the caves, but that is another story. A young woman with black hair and eyes of dawn came in with a tall muscular figure that had a red ponytail down his back, this was Nyo and Kani. Nyo's golden eyes scanned the room and a look of utter surprise formed momentarily then quickly faded away as the others looked at him.
Later on in the dark of her new room, Kenni rolled over to face a sleeping Tiger. A giggle rolled up the staircase and wafted into the room, she thought that it was Kani, playing with Nyo. Then it came again, except now it was more high-pitched, more childish, and more…playful. "Tiger…Tiger did you hear that?" of course no answer. He was sound asleep. She got up and gently put her feet down on the cold mahogany floor. She poked her head out the door and tilted her head around, from what she could see, the house was empty. She turned around and screamed. In front of her was a man with no lips and a tongue swaying to and fro " leave now…leave!". "AHHHHHHHHHH!" and she fell back into the hallway and scrambled over to the railing and pulled herself up, she ran down the steps and skidded into the kitchen, soon enough she heard footsteps rushing after her. "Kenni…Kenni…." "No! Go away!" she curled up and then fainted.
Next thing she knew she looked up at a red-head with a melancholy face and a concerned Kani. "W-what happened?" "Kenni you are ok now, right?" Kani said. "Yes, yes but WHAT happened?" Kani hesitated and looked at her… "well…"
