By: Dixie Fran Korley.

CHAPTER 1

Evy sat on her large bed in her room; she was hearing the crying noises of her brother. He was very devastated of his parents' death a week ago. She just sat on her bed, she was pale, motionless. She screamed covered her face in sadness and anger, starting to cry hard. Minutes later her brother came in now sitting next to her and hugging her as she cried in his cried. He wiped his tears realizing he can't cry all day, he has been ignoring his sister. She needed a guardian to take care of her, protect her, and comfort her.

"I'm sorry." He whispered kissing her long brown her.

They spent the night comforting each other in their home, now they were alone in their house. They were ordered to leave and go to a foster home, the next morning Evy and Jonathan already packed their things, the foster parents smiled at them. Jonathan held his sister's hand the whole time, telling her everything will be alright. Assuring her she would be safe since he was around her, and that he would never leave her. She smiled turning to him when they entered the car, it was a seven hour drive. Evy's head was on Jonathan's shoulder sleeping peacefully. They finally reached their new house; it was even bigger than their old one. Evy entered her new room which was already decorated; she felt a hand on her shoulder and looked to see it was her foster mother Miriam.

"I decorated it myself…do you like it?" she asked and Evy nodded smiling.

"I love it! It's beautiful!" Evy said making her foster mother smile.

They were very nice parents, Evy has been noticing the way her foster father was being so nice to her. She found it very frightening at times but she didn't tell her brother, she was doing well in school and was studying to be an Egyptologist. Her mother was an Egyptian and she never really knew a lot about her other heritage, Evy was in her room studying for her World History test tomorrow in school. She heard a knock on her door.

"Come in." she said, her foster father David entered smiling.

"Your brother and mother are out, why don't we go out for some fun?" Evy turned to him smiling.

"I'd love to…but I have a test tomorrow." She muttered, she noticed he was sweating." What's wrong?"

"Uh…nothing." He said, Evy went back on her studying and noticed he didn't leave.

"Something wrong?"

"N-no, I'm going." He smiled and was beginning to walk out. Evy looked back down on her book frightened a little, she noticed he wasn't moving and looked up.

"You're really beautiful…you know that?" he said, she gasped frozen. Now she was really scared, she saw him coming to her and she stood up backing away.

"You're scaring me." She said her back now on the wall, when he came she slid down running to the door and he grabbed her. She was screaming now.

Jonathan came back home which Miriam, they then heard a scream.

"What was that?" he asked.

"That was your sister!" they ran up the stairs running through the long hallway, Jonathan took a vase when he heard his sister's screaming; now it was muffled. He kicked the door open and was shocked when he saw his foster father on her. He smashed the vase on his head ignoring Miriam's screams. David got up, Evy cried when Miriam held her, she was frightened that she was almost taken by David.

David was sent to the police later on, Miriam had known this and he has been promising never to do it again. Evy and Jonathan were still with Miriam, they have gotten so close to each other. A month later, Evy was back on track in school, she had a lot of friends.

On a Thursday night she was in her room writing in her diary, about life and things until…her lamp starts to flicker, she put her main light on putting the lamp off. She then saw her main light starting to flicker, she looked up slowly sighing. Until she became scared, she saw a footprint and heard a sound accompanied by it, but it appeared on the ceiling. She couldn't move and saw the footprints going to the end and she saw her window was open! Her door open: it was Jonathan.

"Evy?"

"Yeah?"

"You heard something?" he asked. She quickly looked up seeing that the footprints were gone, she looked at him shaking her head slowly.

"No…I haven't." she said and he nodded.

"I thought I heard footsteps." He murmured going in the living room.

Evy looked back up seeing the footprints didn't appear, she was thinking it might be her hallucination.

"I'm just imagining things." She said to herself.

Since that day Evy tried to forget about it and it actually paid off, it was as if that she had lost her memory.

Liked it? I hope you liked it. And to let you all know that this story involves a lot about Evy and Jonathan. The house that will be haunted and stuff will be located in Ireland. So stay tuned for the next chapter! That's when the story brgins.
