Laurie slammed the book closed not wanting to read anymore even though she had read the book quite a few times in the past and knew what was coming next over a thousand pages of Loomis ranting on about how evil Michael how he should have been in high security. Prison from day one and now he had become obsessed with Michael Myers and spent every waking hour studying him getting to know what went on inside his head was he possessed He studied Michael no end putting him under a microscope it seemed even going without sleep one time he did not sleep for 4 days and was threatened with being removed from the case he got some sleep but it seemed if he even knew him better than she did and she was his blood sister then it hit Laurie ...Blood sister say if the madness that possessed Michael was in the genes could Laurie turn like him even though she was always calm most of the time and even Jamie attacked her foster mom and it was feared she would turn out like her Uncial and loomis tried to kill Jamie but thankfully she didn't and things had calmed down with her and despite the bulling and night terrors and bed wetting Jamie seemed normal to a point and was doing well in her home schooling amd eould hopefully one day go onto collage and do well for herself but the danger was their she could snap as once according to Loomis book Michael once seemed a normal sweet little boy what made him snap was it really the cult was Michael a victim after all or was he born evil as Loomis said
Laurie put the book back in the closet as she had seen enough for one day and later that day she desided to decorate the house for the holidays and put Michael Myers out of her mind she was damned he was NOT going to ruin Christmas for them so over the holidays Michael Myers did not exist
"Hey Jamie how do you fancy helping me decorate the house for Christmas " called Laurie from the top landing with a smile
"wow yeah you bet "cheered Jamie who was in the lounge watching cartoons on rv and drinking juice but she jumped off the sofa and ran out the longe and ran up the stairs to where her mom was to help with the 2 large boxes of decorations that Laurie had pulled down from the loft
"Careful their these are heavy and some are fragile have you got them .? Asked Laurie handing a box to Jamie who nodded
"yup so whats in here then is the tree in here ?" Asked Jamie getting excited now
"No not yet huni the tree is still to come down its in the loft somewhere now take that into the lounge and be careful dont touch anything till i get down some of that stuff might be very old and valuable i will be down in a few "Laurie said going back up into the loft to look for the tree and more things that was up their
Jamie smiled and carried the box down stairs trying not to trip and was looking froward to seeing what was in the boxes as the one she had was heavy and Jamie could be nosey at times
soon Laurie appeared coughing a bit with another large box and a tree in her arms and what looked like a cobweb in her hair
"urgh i so need to clean out that loft it is filthy and dusty up their and im sure i seen a couple of spiders too "said Laurie pulling a face she was not keen on spiders
" Ewwo spiders yuck i dont like spiders "said Jamie wrinkling her nose making her mom laugh a bit
"yes spiders great big hairy ones too big as your hand they live up in the loft Laurie laughed teasing her daughter who giggled a bit
"Right okay lets see what is in the boxes shall we as i know your desperate to see what we have in here little miss nosey "Laurie laughed tapping Jamie on the nose making her giggle as they opened up the boxes to see what Christmas goodies was inside
in the box Jamie had their was a lot of tinsel some baubles garlands paper chains a Santa hat that Jamie put on a few old cards addressed to Laurie and also a beautiful large porcelain Christmas doll that wore a red and white fur trimmed Velvet dress and had long black hair in ringlet curls and wore white ice skating boots
"Oh she is pretty mom was she yours as a little girl " ? asked Jamie smoothing the dolls hair down with her hand and smiling at it
"Oh Holly or was that Ivy i can't really remember now but yes she was mine when i was about your age she had a twin sister too she had blonde hair in curls like that she wore green someone gave me them one Christmas you see i got a part in the school play that year and sadly i caught Chickenpox and had to pull out i was so dissapointed so mom or maybe it was an aunt or mom" s friend got me these dolls to cheer me up and i called them Holly and Ivy after the Christmas carol their are meant to be Victorian girls I think her sister is still up in that loft somewhere we can get her down next year "Laurie said taking the doll from Jamie to look at it
"she is really pretty mom i like her hair in the curls "Jamie said smiling
"Oh im sure we could give you curls like that for Christmas little girls and women had their hair like that back then would you like that once i will make you look like the doll here " ? Laughed Laurie
"yeah it be nice but just for Christmas thats all "Jamie laughed
"Okay then just for Christmas guess you dont wanna look like Shirley Temple all year round then "Laurie laughed handing Jamie back the doll
" Er no who's Shirley Temple mom is she a friend of yours "Asked Jamie making her mom burst out laughing
"Huh what what did i say ?"Asked Laurie innocently and a bit confused
"Oh sweetheart No Shirley Temple wasent a friend of mine she never knew me she was a famous Hollywood child actress years ago we need to watch one of her movies one day i liked her when i was your age and she had beautiful golden curls but her hair was short not like the dolls anyway do you like the doll ? Asked Laurie
"Yes she is beautiful "Jamie replayed touching the dolls cheek
" Well she is yours then you can keep her in your room we will stand her by the fireplace over the holidays and after the decorations come down we will put her in your room and on Christmas day or eve we will do your hair like hers i have curling tongs somewhere and when I find her twin you can have her too "Laurie said as Jamie hugged her thanking her over and over
Laurie and Jamie had great fun going through the boxes of decorations and making a mess too the carpet was soon coverd in glitter and bits of tinsel bits of paper and dust so it need hoovered up later but that was no problem really Laurie would have it clean in a second and seeing Jamie happy well it was with the mess
A little later after going through the final box Laurie found something that made her stop and gasp a little a very old decoration that appeared in one of the photos in Loomis book that Michael was touching it wad a little nativity scean music box that had 3 figures Mary Joseph and a tiny baby Jesus in a crib and it was on a revolving base and when wound up it played Silent night Laurie had no idea who it belonged too as none had written their name on it but then she thought it must have been Judith's as Michael was way too young for it and would probably try and put it in his mouth to eat it as he looked at that age where everything would end up in his mouth
" oh that is so pretty was that yours too when you was small .? Asked Jamie looking at her mom
" No it wasn't I have no idea how I got it I think it belonged to your aunt Judith when she was little I had no idea I had some of her stuff in here " Said Laurie listening to the soft lullaby like tune
" Let's put it here that way you aunt can be with us in a way ' Laurie said smiling placing the music box on the fireplace and went back to the box she was looking in
A few minutes later it was Jamie's turn to find something as she was looking in an old shoe box of Christmas cards and photos and looking at photos of Laurie in her teenage years one of her as a young child sitting by a large Christmas tree compleatly covered in spots and still smilling the year she must have got the chickenpox that made them both laugh as Jamie showed it to her mom but then she seen something that made her pause a bit
"Mom who's Angel and who's the kids in this photo " Jamie asked looking at a home made card that had a drawing of an angel on it and was coverd in glitter and tinsel made by a child and was a mess really and inside was written in childish hand writhing was Merry Xmas Angel love from Michael three crosses for kisses and a heart drawn in it
" Huh let me see that " Gasped Laurie taking the card and photo knowing who it was from
" Er no one really just someone i knew long time ago that's all " lied Laurie
" is it from Michael Myers when he was little ,,? Asked Jamie as if she knew that her mom was lying
" Er no it's it's from another Michael I knew as for the family well I don't know them " Laurie lied as she glanced at the photo
The photo was taken on Christmas day the year before Michael killed everyone their was his parents looking happy as they got ready to carve the turkey Judith was sitting looking board and her eyes half closed her hair was all crimped and looking bushy next to her was a small boy grinning happily holding a toy car and dressed in a shirt and tie and like his dad and another man in the photo they'd slicked back all his hair with Gel or hair cream so it looked wet and severe looking but sitting near Michael in a high chair propped up with cushions was baby Angel wearing a red and white fancy dress that was her and their was 2 other women in the photo and another little girl holding a doll and another 2 young boys also in shirts and ties one had fluffy bright red ginger curly hair in a kind of afro style the other had the wet gelled back style identical to Michael"s and everyone looked so happy in it too and Laurie got lost in thought but she was too young to remember her old family so their would be no point in trying
" Mom mom are you okay " Asked Jamie snapping Laurie"s thoughts into the present day
" Huh yeah I'm fine huni sorry was miles away their " Laurie said glancing again at the photo
" So who are the family and who sent the card was that Michael a old boyfriend a crush at school then " Giggled Jamie
" No he was no one and I don't even know where he is now just a guy or kid i once knew and as for that family i have no idea they might be related i do not know but we need to start putting the tree and that up or things won't get done " Laurie said ripping up the card and putting it in the trash bag she would deal with the photo later as just now their was way too much to do and a big cleaning up job as the floor was a mess and Laurie was a very fussy clean person and didn't like mess
Thats that chappy done more to come soon
