Chapter Fifteen

Mom softly knocked at my door and I moaned, “Go away.” She sighed and pulled the pillow off my head.

“Your friends are here to eat dinner. You should go down and say hi, you don’t have to stay and eat. We all know it has been a rough day.”

I instantly felt guilty for making them stay down there. Mostly Lyn, Ephraim was on my ‘bad guy’ list right now. Mom had made a nice dinner for everyone, and I did want to eat.

“Okay Mom.” I didn’t argue. I just got up and pulled off my shirt to change. She left the room and mumbled, “Wash your face too.”

“I heard that Mother!” I called to her. She hated when I called her that, but this time she didn’t respond. After finding a nice comfy black t-shirt I went to the bathroom and washed my face. She had been right about my face needing to be cleaned. It was tear-stained and black mascara ran down it. Now that I was fresh faced I was ready to see Lyn, but not Ephraim. The tears were coming again and I couldn’t stop it. I grabbed a towel and cried into it. I felt so embarrassed that I told him everything.

A loud thump hit the door that separated the other half of the room. I jumped, throwing the towel. I was not prepared to see anything weird right now. I backed out of the bathroom and felt that cool mist like last night. It washed over my skin as I froze in place. I remembered what Pearl had told me before about the other spirits. I had to pretend I didn’t see them or hear them, because they didn’t want me here. The mist fell to the floor and started forming feet, this time the feet were ladies shoes. I scrambled backwards not waiting to see who it turned into. But the mist started to follow me down the stairs. I couldn’t escape it; I could hear the feet following behind me. I reached the bottom of the steps and my radio upstairs turned on full blast. I screamed, covering my ears.

“Brylee shut your radio off,” Dad called. I ran back up the steps not wanting to see who turned it on, or what was waiting for me when I got to my room. I slowly pushed the door open. The radio played all by itself full blast. I got a sinking feeling as I entered my room.

I pressed the power button and turned to walk out of the room when I came face-to-face with a woman. She had auburn hair pulled into a high bun, pearls accenting her neckline. Her black dress was pressed neatly as if she had just picked it up from the cleaners. She didn’t smile she instead looked fiercely upset.

It had to be Violet Brown; there was no other woman that I had learned about that would be in this house. Although with the curse that the house held it could have been anyone.
