Chapter 2

As the sun went down, the movers had left, finishing there jobs. The house had been dusted, by Vivian and her two brothers. White sheets were taken off of the furniture that the last family left behind. Vivian now stood in her room, finding that everything was where she wanted it. Baseball bat under the bed, posters of movies and bands on the walls, bed in place, dresser in place.

Giving a sigh of relief, knowing that cleaning and unpacking was over for today, she flopped down on the bed. She groaned, hearing a knock at the door.

"Whaaat?" she whined.

"Mom said to come down to dinner now" Matt called from the other side of the door.

"Im not hungry..." she said.

There was silence but the sound of running footsteps could be heard. Quiet filled the room, giving Vivian a feel of insanity. Standing up, she walked to the door and opened it a tiny bit. Stepping out into the empty hall, she could hear movement from the kitchen downstairs. About to go down there herself, she paused and looked over to a door. The one room she hadnt examined was the one that led to the tower/attic.

Walking to the door, she pried it open and looked up a set of dark stairs. Slowly but surely, she reached the top and opened the second door. It was much colder in this room and much darker. Feeling the walls for a switch, her fingers touched cold plastic. Flipping the knob, she watched as tiny lights flickered on over a large model of a town...her town.

Marveling over the way it was built, she didnt notice the small blinking light coming from a certain part of the model. Her eyes only darted to the light when she heard a tiny, barely audible, whistle. Walking over to the graveyard, she scanned over the tiny graves and stopped on the blinking one. The blinking was coming from a neon light stuck to the tombstone. It read 'Betelgeuse' and flashed every few seconds.

Vivian suddenly snapped into a standing position as a piece of tattered paper fluttered down onto the grave site. She picked it up, trying to read the paper.

"Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse" she muttered to herself.

Tossing the paper aside, she gave a shrug. But as the paper hit the floor, she began to wonder where it came from. Then she thought, did I say it right? Wait, why did she care?

Giving an aggrivated sigh, she picked up the paper and scanned it. On the very bottom, in the right hand corner, was small print. It read 'pronounced as (beetle-juice)'.

"Oh...Beetlejuice" Vivian muttered to herself.

The cold seemed to settle in and the lights flickered and dimmed. Vivian looked around at everything and set the paper down on the village.

"Beetlejuice" she said again.

The lights turned off for a second, then flipped back on. Giving a smirk, though her heart beat fast, she shoved her hands in her pockets.

"Beetlejuice"
