I'm awake and glance at my clock, it is now 2 a.m. Doomed, I keep on waking up every 2 hours. I don't like my new bedroom to be honest, it has one bed that I'm now sitting on, in the edge right from the door point of view. Also a not really huge window beside my bed, giving me a view of my other neighborhoods. It is a whole woody room with white paint hasn't yet really dry. I think it is more likely to smells like blood. I hug my teddy bear and currently thinking about my new school tomorrow, not really a good thoughts. Then i hear something clacking outside.
I peek toward my door to see outside but it is all dark pitched, I barely see something except a light downstairs is on. Because my room is right in front of the stairs, but i can't really see downstairs room. I suddenly feel cold inside my room, not by a wind but by this weird feeling. I against my urge to go outside my room, even now drink is not something i really want; i really wish for a good sleep. So i lock my room, I don't even know why i do this. I just want to do it, then i go back to my deep sleep.
Few hours later, I wake up. It is now 6 a.m so I'm about to step outside and find my room is now unlocked and is not really closing. But I don't really matter it and i go downstairs to finally see my mom as the first person i see this morning.
"Did you sleep well dear?"
"I'm awake at 2 a.m actually"
"Oh did you go downstairs?"
"I'm not, actually..." I stop as my dad is coming.
"I don't like this house, regret buying it" Dad saying in a not really happy tone, but I'm standing there confused.
"Honey let's not talking about this anymore" Mom is kinda worried even if I don't know why, I think it is a serious case.
"What actually happened last night?"
"Dear now you should take a bath and prepare for school if you don't mind. I need to talk to your dad" Mom disallow me for asking more, I'm sure. So i shrug and leave them.
I actually don't want to hear more of their conversations but i do hear about something "cat" and "blood". I shiver and try not to think about it so i take a bath which placed right beside my bedroom, upstairs.
I haven't take a proper bath since the moving day because i was sick. So i notice a different thing about this bathroom. I open the door and this wind goes outside like it was come from the hill, cold and dry. There is a small window beside the shower but not too big for someone who wants to peek in. I do a quick shower and singing while i wash my hair then i heard this knocking sound come from upstairs, third floor. I can't believe i never go upstairs to see what's on there ever since moving day. Dad once said third floor only for luggage or old rooms as i remember, so I don't put more attention at it. Also i don't like the stairs to go up there, it is kinda old and darker.
I quickly dress up with uniform and i hear the knocking sound again, together with Mom's sound calling me. I go outside and mom is right in front of the door, i ask her panic
"Mom, do you hear something? it is from upstairs."
"I don't." She answer it shortly and she ask me to go downstairs.
The knocking sounds were fast and hard. It was different from an animal step could be, like House lizard or rat. So i go downstairs and meet dad who is now in living room sitting on one of the sofa with his arm on each knees, he is pale as I can read from his face. I didn't see Mom as pale as him before.
"Fern, do you like your new bedroom?"
I nod with doubt, I can't say I don't or he'll be upset.
"Good thing, looks like our first night was not really bad?"
Dad smiles weakly and looks sad so i frown and ask him back
"Did something happen last night?" I kinda afraid of my question but i need an answer.
"Not really, only i found something weird in the front garden"
I now am seeing the front garden through the window behind the sofa Dad is now sitting on, in the right side of my eye. Then i swear i was seeing someone standing there, not in my garden i mean. Outside our fence, a Lady with a dry smile and now she is gone. I wince a bit to refresh my memory, I once ever see her but i don't really remember who is she.
CONTINUATION WILL BE IN A LONG CONSIDERATION
