Alex Holmes a 18 year old, had just moved out of her 

parents house in Portland Oregon, she needed a house to live 

in, so she found a flier for a house on sale. She 

dialed the number just to find a old lady at the other end

of the phone. 

They started talking, and they set up to meet at the gas 

station a few miles from where they were.

 Once Alex got there she looked for the woman, but she was 

no where to be found, she waited to see if she was going to 

come and then she saw a black van pull in and a old woman 

got out, she wore a red head with no teeth nor hair, just a 

bandanna on her head and old fashion Victorian cloths. 

She walked up to Alex and said "Hi, I'm Josie, the former 

owner of the house."said Josie then she continued,"Beware 

this house my dear therefore a curse has been upon it for

 thousands of years my dear so if you known what that house shall 

have lurking in the shadows ye shall not be buying this house." 

josie warned, Alex was confused by what she just said, but she still 

wasn't going to give up her first house to some nonsense, so she 

still proceeded to buy the house.

 After the purchase was made she followed the woman to the 

house. When they got there they took a tour of the house, "What a 

big house!" Alex exclaimed, "Yeah I loved this house, but ever 

since "It" came around its been quite terrifying." Josie said with a 

grim voice. 

Alex was concerned about whatever she was talking about but she 

just ignored it, but still deep down inside she had to know what 

caused her to say that, so she said "What do you mean by "It?" 

Alex asked in concern. " I'm sorry but you would never 

understand."Josie sighed."Um, okay." Alex replied

When Josie left Alex started getting settled in.

By the time the day was over Alex was settled in.

 "Good thing i brought my old bed." Alex said sarcastically to 

herself.

 Alex was proud of herself, and so would her parents will be to. 

Just then she remembered her parents. "Oh no i forgot to call my 

parents!" Alex exclaimed to herself, she ran to the living room 

she grabbed the phone and turned it on as quickly as she could, 

when she turned it on there was a message, and it said she had 3 

missed calls from her parents.

 She called her parents, ( Joseph and Mackenzie) "Hi mom hi 

dad." She stumbled, trying to miss the fact she forgot about 

them.

 "We were worried about you Alex!"Her parents said in a very 

stern voice, "I know, i know i just forgot to call you guys, oh and 

i found a cabin, its in the woods," Alex said cheerfully "But its nice 

for a cabin!"

 "Good we hope you get settled in soon, its about to be night."

Then her parents continued

"Send us some pictures of your new house." Her parents said, 

"Ok" Alex replied. Alex started taking pictures of her house 

and emailing them to her parents so they could see it then 

again, they were in Oregon and she was in Tennessee.

 She wished they could visit but they cant because there 

broke, Alex was disappointed about that but, at least she 

could talk to them on the phone. 

That Night

 When Alex got ready for bed she heard a thump.

She went down stairs to see a burned cross sticking out of 

the wall. "How did this get here?" Alex thought, then she 

heard a child laugh upstairs were it seemed like it was 

coming from her bedroom.

 "Whats going on!" Alex yelled, "Who's up there!" Alex yelled 

again, but then the giggling stopped and Alex went to her 

room, but she didn't see anything.

 Alex started thinking that thing Josie mentioned earlier, "It 

cant be haunted ghosts don't even exist they just, cant." Alex 

thought in her head, but maybe, she thought again and 

yelled, "If there's anyone here, show yourself!" Alex yelled

Then a mist fog like the height of a child walked in front of 

her with glowing red eyes, Alex stared at it 

paralyzed with fear, as it was beginning to speak,"Why have 

you come to my domain!" it said in a devil like voice.

 Alex was now about to run in fear away from this scary 

cabin back to her parents, her friends and her family, when it 

said, "Hi, my names Katelyn, come play with me, forever.

" Katelyn the ghost said in a girly and child like voice, Alex 

felt comforted in a weird way like she was in a dream, but 

this dream was about to become a nightmare. 

The child became a devil like figure and reached out to her to 

try to grab Alex but Alex ran upstairs trying to get away from 

the fowl beast, it had claws, sharp teeth, and red eyes. "Josie 

was right, i should have never bought this house!" She 

screamed
