DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN IB OR GHOST HUNT
Just Oc's and plot.
Watch out for bad grammar.
Three days had already passed and Garry put it upon himself to wake up early and make breakfast for the girls in the house. He stretched and stood up off the bed and headed for the bathroom. As he turned on the shower to his wanted temperature he quickly stripped and stepped in.
One thing he was grateful for was the warm water. He didn't think this house would get hot water being as it was really old and hasn't been used for about 17 years. He was now nineteen and was currently taking a vacation from school. He didn't just want to stay home so he took the offered position in the cafe. He like it there since whenever he worked, something new would always happen and he met interesting people there.
As he finished with the shower he got out dried himself and got dressed. He wore a simple dark forest green shirt, blue jeans and sneakers. Heading downstairs he took a quick look inside the girls room before doing so. Going into the kitchen he opened the fridge and brought out the food he was cooking. It wasn't long before he started to cook the potatoes.
The sizzle of the pan was the only thing you could hear in the kitchen. Garry shivered and felt goosebumps rise on his arms. "The AC must be on." He mumbled as he thought about turning it off. He turned to the food and stirred it once more then put down the spatula and went into the hall out side the kitchen. As he went to turn off the AC he noticed a door right next to it and tilted his head.
He went towards the door and pressed his palm against the wood. 'The door feels cold...' Garry hummed to himself as he put his hand on the door knob and turned then pushed it open. The door creaked from rusted hinges and a very cold breeze rushed by him. Immediately as he looked in he saw stairs that led down. 'A basement..?' He wondered why he was getting a dreadful feeling as he stared down. The goose bumps on his arm spread more and his shivered bringing his hands up to rub his arms. He turned his head left and right, he felt like he was being watched. The thought of going down scared and yet he felt like something was calling to him. Choosing to go in he stopped when the smell of burning potatoes.
"Oh no!" He groaned as he quickly shut the door and ran towards the kitchen. As he fussed over the potatoes he didn't noticed the glowing red eyes in the dark corner in the kitchen. Black shadows leaked down the wall and seemed to crawl towards Garry. Just inches from his shoes it quickly seeped into the tiles when a tired good morning was head.
"Good morning sweetie." Amy smiled tiredly as he stepped towards her son and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Good morning Mama." Garry smiled gently. He then looked behind her to see the girl rubbing their eyes to fully wake up. "Morning Ib, Mary."
"Morning." They both said. You'd think with Mary's enthusiasm she would be more of a morning person. But she was pretty vicious when it comes to mornings. Depending on how you wake her also depends on the mood she would give off.
"Honestly, waking Mary is like trying to make a sloth go faster." Amy huffed seeing Mary stick her tongue at her and pull her eye lid down.
Garry chuckled when his mother gave Mary the same face she did and chuckled some more. "You just woke her on the wrong side of the bed." He said.
"Garry~!" Mary walked up to him tugged as his shirt. "Can we go to the bakery now!?" She whined.
Garry gave a sad smile, "I'm sorry Mary but I need to help Auntie Amy with things around the house." He then patted her head, "When Uncle Eisuke comes back, we can go but for now we need to stay with Auntie Amy, okay?" Garry smiled down at Mary who pouted but nodded nonetheless.
Now don't get them wrong. There was no way Garry would allow the girls to finish that huge cake in three days. He was heart broken when he found it on the floor just the next day. Mary only had one piece of her cake -though he counted it as two when he saw how big it was- and the rest was wasted on the tile floor. They didn't have a culprit and passed it on as the cake being to big for the fridge they had and making Amy put a fridge on their list of new thing to buy. He watched as Mary fell to he knees and start to cry from seeing her cake on the floor and Ib tried to stop her from crying by offering one of her candies. In the end Garry had too big of a heart to deny Mary when she begged for another.
"Breakfast is still being made so why don't you girls go sit down." Garry smiled as he gestured the seats. Garry watched them sit down but frowned slightly when he saw Ib seem slightly on edge. "Ib? Is something wrong?" He asked.
Ib looked up and then looked around as if she was telling a big secret and she didn't want someone beside them to know. "He keeps staring at us." She whispered, "He's always standing by the window." Garry's eyes narrowed and looked at Amy who seemed to only be hearing this for the first time.
"Do you know what he looks like?" Amy asked in the most gentlest tone she could. Ib's lips thinned and shook her head. Amy looked at Garry who mouth later and turned back to cooking. The silence after that left them both uneasy. Amy stood up and pressed her palm to Ib's forehead to seeing if she was running a fever just in case she was imagining things. She felt her stomach slightly drop when Ib felt and looked just fine. She hoped that some stranger wasn't breaking into her newly found home and creeping on her and the girls.
"Breakfast is done!" Garry cheerfully announced as he set plates down in front of the girls.
Amy jumped slightly and slowly picked up her fork from the plates. She looked to Garry and noticed him giving all his attention to the girls in front of him. She smiled seeing her son so good with children. Her hand went to her stomach and smiled more gently giving off sheer happiness and joy when she thought of the baby now growing in her stomach. She couldn't believe she was bearing a child when she had finally given up. She was crying when she found out she was pregnant, to hear she couldn't bear children and then hear she was pregnant nearly gave her a heart attack. She fainted from the news and ended up sleeping in the hospital for a hour or so. She heard of the nine months and the pain of giving birth and she would savor every moment because she didn't know if she could bear another child.
Looking at Garry she placed an elbow on the counter and rested her head on the back of her hand. She saw the baby room set for Garry. The main color was purple. The crib was beautiful and set in the middle of the room. Blankets were hung from the ceiling and draped around the crib, a lavender rocking chair right beside it. Some toys littered the room as if Garry played a little before being set in the crib. She had inhaled and faintly smelled vanilla. She wandered what kind of parents they would have been. She wandered how much Garry would have changed if they hadn't disappeared. That's when she just thought of a question.
Did Garry even know what his parents looked like?
She quickly went on a new adventure to find photos when should have stayed behind.
She couldn't find a single frame or photo.
She acted a bit childish on not finding a photo and slightly cried when she came out empty handed. In the end she took her time and thought about it. A new family surely should have taken photos of their new born son. So where were the photos?
Amy shivered when Ib said they were being watched and wandered if it was that stranger that took the photo's.
"Mama?" Garry's concerned voice caught her attention and she looked up seeing violet eyes shine with worry. "Are you not hungry?"
Amy looked down seeing that she hadn't even touched her plate yet. "Ah! No, I'm starving." To prove her point she started to shove food into her mouth.
Garry chuckled, "Careful, you don't want to choke." He warned.
Amy smiled with chipmunk cheeks making the girls laughs and Garry soon after. She chewed as she saw the scene in front of her. Her eyes fell to Garry once more and went back to her last thought.
If that stranger took the photos then could he also be the one responsible for the disappearance of Garry's parents? And if so then wouldn't Garry be in danger?
Thank you for reading!
Bye! ^.^
