Chapter 4- Spooky!

When I got in there was a message on the answer machine. It was from Yolei. She said she would be back late tonight and there was dinner in the fridge. She also said she had few lessons this week and might be gone for 3 days. This wasn't surprising. I was often left on my own when she was gone. I could take care of myself. But the next thing she said wasvery exciting.My parents would be coming back after their tour of Russia. It would only be a few days but all my cousins and aunties and uncles would be invited over. I jumped up and punched the air in my joy. Then I hopped over the sofa and flicked on the TV.

It was after dinner when we were watching TV, me and Mushu my cat, that we heard the

noises. It was like a scratching sound, like someone dragging something heavy across the

floor accompanied by something that sounded like wailing. I automatically ran to the window and scanned my street. Totally empty as usual. But the noises were there. I knew where it was coming from. Yoh's house. I stared at the looming building, looking desolate, dark and empty.

Then all of a sudden a light switched on. I was surprised and jumped back. They're lights were never on! I heard Mushu hissing behind me. I turned to him and tried to calm him down. Then I heard noises, people talking, from the house and I turned back to the window.

Two people, a man and a woman, were leaving the house. The man looked a lot like Yoh so I guessed they were his parents. I ducked as they crossed the street, in case they saw me.

After I snuck a look out of the window again and to my surprise, the road was empty again. It was like they just disappeared.

I looked to my cat who was just staring at me complacently.

"Weird," I muttered. Then I saw Yolei come down the street. I opened the door before she reached it.

"Thanks," she said coming in.

I smiled and closed the door behind her.

"Did you see anyone? Outside?" I asked.

"No…" she said, hanging her coat up, "It was empty the whole time. As usual."

"No way." I said, "I just saw two people come out of that creepy house.

"You're kidding. Just now?"

I nodded.

"That's…really creepy. I wish we could move. But anyway you shouldn't even be up at this time."

I yawned. "Yeh you're right. See you tomorrow."

"Yeh. Goodnight sis."

But I couldn't sleep that night. I lay awake in my bed. My mind thinking about Yoh, about the two people who seemed to be his parents and Yolei not seeing it all.

In a couple of hours I drifted into a dreamless sleep.
