“Can I come for the car ride,” Stacy and Keith begged. “No just me and your dad are going, sorry maybe next time,” their mom said. “Fine,” said Stacy and Keith. Less than a few minutes later their parents left. “What time is it, “Stacy called down from her room. “9:30,” her brother hollered back. “Geez,” Stacy said to herself, “I’m tired.”
Stacy laid down on her bed and eventually dozed off. She woke up to a knock at the door and got to the door the same time as her brother. They opened the door and stared at two expressionless police officers. “Hello Stacy and Keith,” they said in sad voices. “What happened,” Keith said in a worried voice. “We’re really sorry but your parents got in an accident and they both passed away, we are extremely sorry, “said one of the police officers. Stacy and Keith both stood there in shock, and then they started to cry. The police officers started talking again, “You will be in the care of your grandparents and again we are sorry.” Stacy and Keith just sat there crying and listened to the police officers who were still talking, “They will come to pick you up tonight around midnight, so one of us will stay here with you until your grandparents get here.” The other police officer left, while Stacy and Keith got their stuff ready through their tears.
At about midnight their grandparents arrived. When Stacy and Keith saw them they gave them a big hug. The Keith, Stacy and their grandma started to cry and their grandpa just sat there with a very sad look on his face. “We are very sorry,” their grandma said, “Us too,” replied Keith through his tears. They got into their grandparents van and they drove off.
On their way there they made an odd turn off into a forest. “Where are we going,” Stacy asked still sobbing. “We moved to a new house,” their grandma replied, “didn’t you know that. “No we didn’t,” Keith said as he started to tear up again. They stopped in front of an old rickety house. “Is this it,” Stacy questioned. “Yes it is,” said their grandpa. Stacy and Keith got all of their stuff out of the van and brought it into the house. Their grandma and grandpa showed them to their room. “You better get to sleep,” whispered their grandpa, “You had a long day. Their grandparents said goodnight and also went to sleep. “They are acting weird,” Stacy stated. “They are,” Keith agreed. That night Stacy and Keith fell asleep sobbing.
The next morning they woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon. They dragged themselves down the stairs. “Good morning,” Their grandmother delightfully said. “Good morning grandmother,” they forced out lazily, “thanks for breakfast.” After eating they went back upstairs, “was that odd are what,” questioned Stacy. “What how they are not upset about the death,” asked Keith. “Yes,” answered Stacy.
Around twelve o’clock a moving truck came, Stacy, Keith and their grandparents had to haul everything in. “That was hard work,” Stacy said to no one in particular. “Supper will be ready soon,” their grandpa commented as he walked by their room. “Supper,” their grandma called a moment later. They ran down the stairs and ate their supper fast. “What’s the rush?” their grandpa asked. “We are going to the park tonight to play catch before it gets too late,” Keith answered. Right after supper they got their ball gloves and went to play catch. They got back at seven and read for a bit before they went to bed.
When they woke up the next morning it was really quiet. “Why is it so quiet,” questioned Keith. “Let’s go check,” Stacy whispered trying not to break the silence, “You check downstairs and I will check up here. They both went their own ways until Keith called up to Stacy, “I found a note.” “What does it say Stacy asked as she ran down the stairs. “It says they went to a meeting,” Keith answered, “and that they will be back soon. Wow,” exclaimed Stacy, “We get the house to ourselves.”
At that exact moment they heard a loud thump followed by more thumping. “What was that,” stammered Stacy. “I don’t know let’s go check,” Keith replied. “I’m not going up there,” Shrieked Stacy. “Fine I will,” Keith said in an annoyed voice. Keith slowly went up the stairs. “Ahhhh,” he shrieked. Stacy heard Keith and ran up the stairs to see and a horrible brown monster standing there. “Run,” she screamed. They tried running down the stairs but the monster jumped out in front of them. They ran back up and locked themselves in the bathroom. The monster banged on the door. “Jump out the window,” Stacy shrieked. “I can’t it is too high up,” Keith shouted back. They ran out of the bathroom and the monster was gone. They took that opportunity and ran out of the house. “We have to warn grandma and grandpa,” Stacy said through breathes as she ran. At that exact moment all the monster came out from the trees. “Were cornered Keith screamed. They were eventually taken over by blackness.
