Chapter 1: The new house

Hi my name Shelby. I have 1 sister named Courtney and one brother named Jake. My family and I are moving to this town called Blue Lake.

Were in the car driving. Courtney starts to fiddle everything she can find. Courtney I say please stop and I hand her a piece of gum. I feel her hand quickly grab it leaving a scratch.

Jake starts to be a dog for no apparent reason. Jake I say why are you acting like a dog? He replies “woof woof!”

Were here says mom and dad together. I quickly race out of the car, and feel a cold breeze run across my face. I open the door ever so slowly. I take off my shoes and race up the stairs.

I open the door to my room, and see the sky blue walls I wanted. I start to explore my new house. I see three different bedrooms and one master bedroom. I race down the stairs almost knocking over Jake.

Since Jake is four he’s into “Thomas the train” and Courtney’s into animals. There was one empty bedroom with white walls. I am curios to see what the empty room is for. I noticed it was sort-of an old house.

I was in my room unpacking, and then I hear a noise it’s my bed its…it’s squeaking. It stops just as Courtney and Jake come in. We sit on the floor and the door handle jiggles. It’s mom I breathe a big sigh of relief. I told her what happened and she said “Na that didn’t happen.” “It’s just your imagination.”

I turn on my radio and forget all about it. Next thing I know I’m done. Courtney and Jake must of left sometime.

Chapter 2: Real?

I began thinking after I was done was it my imagination? Was I really just having a weird thought? I got dressed for bed. Squeak, squeak, squeak. It’s coming from drawers there opening and closing “MOM DAD” I screamed. They come in rushing with Courtney and Jake following. I say wait as they sit on my bed. It starts up again. We see a mist a greenish white mist.

Chapter 3: Mystery!?!

So after that happened I went in to Jakes bed. I woke up like whoa where I am I? I told Jake I was leaving. He got up slowly and wanted me to carry him. I toke him into the living room, and turned on “Curious George” (his favorite show).

I made myself breakfast. Courtney and mom were already in the kitchen. I said “Good morning” they said “Good morning” back together. I ate a doughnut for breakfast.

I went to my room forgetting about the ghost. My clothes were all over the floor they were in my drawers before. I went out of my room and asked my family and no one did it. My mom came to my room with me. Everything was put away but a t-shirt.

Chapter 4: Finding out who did it.

Since nobody did it in my family did it. We think it’s the ghost. We aren’t positive but, were pretty sure. What do you think?

Chapter 5: Surprise!

Mom had a surprise for Dad, Courtney, Jake, and I. Went to the kitchen and sat on the polished wood stools. She told us to close are eyes. I heard the rustling of paper. She told us to open them. She held out a sign that said “Baby Alert”. She said she’s going to have another baby. She pulled out a boy list and a girl list. Were all excided for the baby to come. I put down River, Jon, and Maddy. I really like those names.

Chapter 6: Baby boy or girl?

Mom slid a card under my bed room door. It said in big bold letters “IT’S A BOY!” Then it said Jonathan. I went down to the kitchen, and asked mom why she chose Jonathan. She said “Because dad and I like it” I walk back to my room and my desk is knocked over completely. I ran back to my room to tell mom. I grabbed her by her hand. Ghost again I thought maybe, maybe not.

Chapter 7: What now?

Now what am I suppose to do? I am getting so frustrated!!! This is so confusing!!!! I don’t get it WHY ME?!? I just need time to figure things out step by step.

I’m going to ask mom if I can have the empty room. So Jon or Courtney or Jake. “Mom”
“Yes Sweetie”
“Can I have the empty room?”
“Sure I don’t see why not, but ask your father first.”
“Okay” I say and race down the stairs to dad’s office.

“Dad can I have the empty room up stairs?” “Mom says it’s alright with her.”
“Sure go unpack your things then put them in the hallway.”
“Thanks dad love you!”

Chapter 8: Switching rooms

Well my room is now bigger. I start to walk back my room, and I hear a crash, smash, smash. I walk in scared to death. Green mists are, are everywhere. The door slams behind me. Somebody’s talking to me how I killed them.
“You killed me Mary why, why did you kill me?” “My own daughter killed me!” “I’ll never in a million years be a, a proud father.” “You said I killed myself!”
“I’m Shelby not Mary please don’t hurt me I begging you please, please don’t hurt me!!”
I feel my heart pounding out of chest as I race to my parent’s bedroom and grab mom.

We go back in together.
“Mary, Mary, Mary don’t lie.”
“DON’T HURT ME PLEASE!!!!” I got to be brave I say in my head as I nudge mom with my elbow.

We get out of the room. I go down the stairs so fast I almost trip over Courtney. Courtney’s counting, I see Jake hide behind the couch. I ask dad
“Do we have an attic?”
“Yup.”
“Can you show it to me?”
“Sure can”

Chapter 9: Attic

We go up three flights of stairs. Dad opens a door we see another flight of stairs. Dad grabs a flash light. We go threw the dusty door. I see darkness. Dad turns the flashlight on. Everything’s old and dusty. I see a window its open. I tell dad that the windows open. We see a computer. There’s string and a new microphone.

We wake the computer it says “I’m haunting this family totally awesome!”-Joe 123. We go down the attic stairs and grab a video camera from the kitchen. We disguise it as a book. We made sure we could see out of the camera.

Next we called the police. One cop stayed on the stairs with dad. Because when the guy started to “haunt” us they would bust through the door. There were green mists everywhere. It stopped everyone ran up the stairs. There was that guy his name was Joe Smith. He got arrested for three years, for breaking in and “haunting” us.

Chapter 10: Jonathan

Well I almost forgot during all this Jonathan was born. He’s such a cutie! We brought him home today. He’s already learning. I found string in Jon’s room, leading to my drawers.
