Chapter-2
Lydia slowly stepped inside the dark mansion.She sighed slowly carrying her backpack to the stairs.Okay, so the place was really dark and dusty and kinda creepy, but it could still be livable.She looked back, seeing her mother and Bill coming through the door."Bill, you don't get paid enough to deal with all this moving and creepy stuff."
Bill merely laughed."This is a nice place, once we do some cleaning."
"Yes, cleaning. Lydia, go have a look at your room, I'm going to find the phone so we can order some take-out."
" Mom, I don't think they had phones when this place was built."
"Ah! found it! Oh wow! look Lydia! It's one of those old-fashioned phones, I wonder if it still works?"
"The foot of dust covering it is very reassuring." Lydia muttered as she slowly made her way up the stairs.This reminded her of some old monster movie. This was about the point where the mad scientist would yell 'It's ALIVE!' and the villagers would be running with their pitchforks and torches.
She slowly opened the door and sighed, walking around slowly." dusty, not bad..." She blinks, looking to the mattress." I guess some hobo's been staying here... looks like whoever was here is long gone." She sighes, setting up her bed against the matress as she looks to the group of pictures." My mirror would look good there, with some new photos."
"LYDIA! Come down! There's some neighbors here!"
" Great, just what I need, people."She sighes and gets up slowly leaving the room.

Edward's eyes widen as he watches the girl walking about in the attic and puts her things on his bed.Once she was gone, he decided to investigate. A blue comforter with stars on it with a matching pillow.His eyes suddenly went to the backpack she had left. He slowly looked into the open section. Notebooks, lots of notebooks and loose paper.
So far, this family didn't seem too bad. Sure, they weren't like the Boggs,but they didn't seem like the easy to scare type.He frowned, unsure of when he should introduce himself.Perhaps later tonight would be best, after all he didn't want to scare them away, atleast, not yet.
