-Sakhmet City-
There was a carnival near the old Jones' house, where the neighbor girl was babysitting the Jones' three children.
Ring ring"Hello?….stop calling me!"
Ring ring
"Hello? ….St-stop! I mean it!"
Ring ring
"H-hello? Would you please stop calling?"
Ring ring
"Wha..What do you want?….Oh God, stop calling!"
5 minutes later, there was a blood curdling scream….
-Domino City, 50 miles from Sakhmet City-
"Oh come on mom!" Syrus complained for about the 20th time that day. "Do I HAVE to?"
"Yes, and i'm not going to tell you again!" Mrs. Truesdale said flatly "You have to pay off all those extra minuets on your cell-phone!"
Syrus sighed "But do I have to baby-sit tonight? There's a party down by the lake tonight!"
"Yes, and I don't want to hear anymore about it!" Mrs.Truesldale said angrily. "Now get your things, you're gonna be late!"
"You don't have to drive me; i'm not gonna run away or something." Syrus said flatly, as his mother drove to the Halters' place. The Halters were a very rich family, and you could really tell by their extremely large house by a beautiful lake.
"Bye Syrus!" Mrs.Truesdale called as she backed out of the driveway. Syrus gave a little wave back. He knocked on a large door. A beautiful woman with golden blonde hair and ocean blue eyes opened the door.
"Ah…you must be Syrus Truesdale!" she said smiling "I'm Rachel Halters and this is Chris Halters" she said pointing to a handsome man with brown hair and brown eyes.
"Welcome." he said
"Now, here's a quick tour." Rachel said, ushering Syrus to the living room. The lights turned on automatically. Syrus blinked in confusion. Rachel laughed, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it." She turned the corner into the kitchen "Ok, emergency numbers are on the fridge, and you can help yourself to anything here, I know that was my favorite pat of babysitting!" She showed Syrus some other places, like the bathroom and the living room. She also passed a large, clear cage with a small pond and small trees and many many yellow birds.
"Ok…we have a in-home maid, Ellen, but she sometimes leaves to vist her mother…and we have a guesthouse out back, where out oldest son Chad like to stay in when he's back from collage…the number's on the fridge…am I forgetting anything?" Rachel asked
"Uh…the children?" Syrus asked softly
"Oh, ha-ha, of course!" Rachel laughed "Amy and Ally are upstairs, they're just getting over the flu, so they'll probably be asleep all night." Rachel and Chris walked to the door. "Ok, here's the security system, our password is '44356'"
"Ok, Mrs. Halters, Mr. Halters" Syrus said politely
"Well, goodbye, we'll be back at around 1:30!" and with that they left.
"Ok….let's see what we got here…" Syrus said to himself as he entered the living room. He found a remote on the table "What does this do…?" he wondered and pressed one of the buttons. The small fire that had been going in front of him roared and shot its hot flames into the air. With and 'eep!' Syrus re-pressed the button and the fire went down again. "This is one strange house…" he thought out loud.
( A/N: short and nothing scary, I know, but it'll get better! )
