Chapter 3
They were all glad that the house was so nice, the only thing was that the
house had no furniture and their furniture was still in the moving van, and
wasn't planned to come until two days later but they did have most of the
pots and pans with them so they could cook.
Mrs Blackbird showed them were everything was and told them:
'..What ever you do, do not go down into the cellar or the attic there are
a few problems with them and they could be dangerous, if one of your
children went into them they might not get back out. They're will be some
one coming round to sort it out soon, his name is Mr Tuttle'
Ellen and Lesley were stood listening to the conversation and started to
say they have heard that name before but they were just going to ignore it.
Mrs Blackbird gave the keys to Mr and Mrs Stevens, the Stevens said there
goodbyes and showed Mrs Blackbird to the door.
They all had to set up camp in the kitchen and made diner with a small
bottle of gas that was left behind the cooker dint work because it was one
of those old cookers that you get in really old houses( the type that don't
exist any more!) Mr and Mrs Stevens took a wonder around the house and
everyone had chosen their rooms. There were 4 bedrooms but one was off
limits to the girls because it was the biggest and the Parents (like they
do) they had to have it, the girls got two separate rooms that were joined
by a door going through the closet.
That night they all went to bed at 11 o'clock because they were all really
tired, they all had to sleep in the same room because the furniture hadn't
arrived yet and they only had one inflatable double bed, they decided to
sleep in the living room. Mr and Mrs Stevens were the first to fall asleep
shortly followed by Lesley, Ellen in another hand couldn't sleep because
she kept getting shivers down her back and the hairs on her neck were
standing up on end and as though someone was staring at her so she stayed
awake a few hours later she fell asleep and after an hour she was awaken by
a sound coming from the fireplace and then she saw a shadow in the old
dusty armchair, the air was cold and misty! She tried to wake Lesley up but
by the time she was awake the noise and shadow had gone.
'Ellen what do you think your doing?'
'I thought that I saw something in the armchair and then their were these
noises coming from the fireplace and it went really cold and......'
'Ellen just shut it I'm tired and I don't want to play at the moment!'
'But I'm not playing, it's real I'm telling you the truth!'
Lesley completely ignored Ellen and went back to sleep, Ellen felt cold
again and when she looked back at the chair there was a shadow of an old
woman staring at her and when she tried to wake Lesley up a voice said:
'Shusssh, don't say anything' in a whispering voice.
Ellen recognised the voice but couldn't think of who it sounded like so she
laid down thinking that it was a dream and tried to go back to sleep. She
barely slept all nigh because she kept on thinking that the shadow was
back.
