The U-Haul stopped outside a grey building. (a.k.a Anni's new home) Anni was watching through the window, as the mover men loaded her stuff into the house.
It started to rain. Anni gasped as most of her stuff got ruined. The movers brought her things up to her room. She was furious when she saw her JTHM comic that was Annabell's gift to her, was drenched.

'Great, I will never see my friends again or my dad, my stuff is all wet, and there's no cable.' Before finishing that thought, her mom entered the room. "Isn't this great!" She said "Now you can meet new friends and experiences!"

"Yeah the experience to miss my friends and have a miserable time." Anni answered back. "Look Anni..." Anni couldn't take anymore. "Mom, the only reason I am here is because you got a stupid job in this horrible place! If I could have I would have ran away with Daimon and Annabell!"

Her mom looked a little hurt "I understand, I'll let you calm down.

Anni never liked screaming at her mom that way, but she had had enough. After her father's death, her mom became weak and fragile. Anni had tried her best to comfort her, with her working minimum wage and all, but this time it had failed. To calm down she opened up her laptop, no internet connection. "Great I really can't see them." She mumbled to herself. "Well if I am going to be living in this filthy hyuman house, I might as well look around."

Anni's real motive was to apologize, but she didn't want to admit it. There was a lump under the rug. She found a key. "Great a useless key." She stuck it in her pocket and moved on. Anni walked into the kitchen before noticing a note on the table.

~Anni, I went to go get groceries. If you get hungry, there is a cup of yogurt in the fridge. Call my cellphone or contact the neighbors if it's an emergency. Love you sweetie!~

Anni put the note in her room, before continuing to explore the house. Anni found a hallway with a closet at the end of it. Anni opened it to find various cleaning supplies...and a mop.

Anni looked at the mop for a second, before she got an idea. Anni took the mop and a cleaning bucket out into the garden and started to have fun. "I will not have my town taken over by spaghetti eaters! Attack, my irken demons!" She started to swing the mop like a sword with the bucket on her head.

"Yah, know you won't make any friends acting all weird like that."

Annie gasped, she turned around too quick and fell in the mud. "God, next time warn someone that you're there, STALKER!" Anni got up and hit him on the head. "Ow, i'm not a stalker, and I was right by you the whole time, you were just wrapped up in whatever you were doing..."

"I was using my imagination, something 11 year-olds rarely do." She answered. "Yeah...oh i'm sorry I didn't introduce myself i'm Joseph."

"Anni, former resident of Alaska."

"Oh, you're the new girl mom has been talking about."

"You're mom is the owner?" Anni questioned.

"Yeah I gotta go home, before mom yells."

"See yah at school!" Anni called out. Anni felt happy for the first time in a long time. She had just made a friend. "Huh, mom's not home yet, oh well." Annie picked up the bucket and the mop. It was then that she noticed something. An attic? She carefully set the appliances on a tree and slowly walked twards it. "It has a lock on it, damn it!" Anni went into the house and found a sledgehammer.

"Okay, I've got to be very careful." Anni swung the hammer and landed a successful blow. "Yes!" Anni cautiously entered the unknown place. "Dark, nothing but dark. Why did I even come down here! Huh what's that?"

Anni could see a faint shape in all the dark. She pulled out a flashlight she had in her pocket. "A little door...where have I seen that before." Anni remembered the key. "Maybe..." She took out the key out of her pocket and tried to put it into the lock.

It fit.

Anni's heart was pounding, should she turn the key, what would happen. She heard noises coming from the door. No, it doesn't feel right. She took the key out of the lock and quickly got out of the attic. Her mom's mini-van was parked in the garage. "Honey, what happened to you. You look like you've just seen a ghost!"

"Oh, nothing," Anni replied "I just got jittery being home alone."

"Could you help me with the groceries, if you've calmed down enough."

"Sure mom, anything to help!"


After dinner Anni goes straight to bed. "Something strange is happening." Anni's mom thought.


"MOM!"

"ANNI!"

"Mom don't let go!"

"I can't hold on...I love you sweetie!"

Angela let's go of her daughter's hand and dissapears into a portal.

"Mom...

~Dream Ends~ Anni wakes up covered in sweat. "What was that!"


This is it for this chapter, feel free to tell me what you think. Angela is Anni's mom. I do not own anything, and I will not make a profit off this. I just realized this sounds a lot like Coraline, but it's not. BYE!
