Chap.2

"So did you have a new dream about that lady Lea?", my dad asked. I said,"Haha, very funny dad." He didn't understand, no one ever does. He said,"I'm just kidding kido, so you excited for your new school soon?" I shrugged and said,"I don't know, high school never changes dad so I wouldn't know." He laughed and said,"True, true. Hey, the flowers outside are dying maybe you can get some new planting seeds and planting supplies at the store." I said,"Sure, I want to take a look at the rest of the town anyway." I said,"Okay bye dad!" He said,"See you kiddo!" I waved and went to my car. It was kind of windy out, with leaves flying all over the place, I looked at the forest in front of my house and I swear I saw a bright light. I let it go thinking maybe it's a car.


This town was kind of like a small town of Tennessee, people walking around barbequing outside having fun. Teens hanging out at resturants and kids having fun at the park. It seemed peaceful, friendly, and fun! I made it to the store and it looked kind of old, the sign with only a few letters lit up, it was pretty small, and once I got inside, it smelled like one of those old stores. I am probably being vague but you would probably know what I mean if you walked into an old grocery store.

Once I bought, all of the stuff I needed to get I came to the check out section and saw a boy with brunette hair up to his ears, brown eyes, and a small smile. He smiled and said,"Hi did you find everything you needed today?" I said,"Yep." He laughed,"Good. Hey, are you the new girl in town?" While he was scanning, I blinked in confusion then asked,"How did you know?" He smiled and said,"Nothing is hidden in this town. Not even your wallet..." I laughed and said,"I'll keep that in mind." He laughed and said,"Well, I hope you enjoy it here in Colorado. It's very nice here." I sighed."I can tell. Everybody is outside, enjoying life." He said,"That's Colorado alright. Well that will be $10.99" I gave him the money and he said,"Thank you. Have a nice day." I smiled and said,"Thanks." I grabbed my stuff and left. Before I left he yelled,"Enjoy life!" I laughed and turned back then said,"I will, enjoy life your self too." He nodded and said,"Will do bye." I laughed,"Bye." I left and went to my car. I couldn't stop smiling on the way back home, I don't know why. I usually don't smile this much.

I got home and I saw my dad talking to that strange man we saw last night. I got out of my car and ran to them. I asked,"What's going on?" My dad turned to me and said,"This man saved me from being attacked by a couple crows!" I kept looking suspiciously at the man, and said,"Oh. Are you okay?" He said,"Yeah I'm fine. A couple scratches but I'm fine." I said,"Good. So why were you getting attacked by crows?" He said,"I was eating some bread, took it with me to go get mail and that's when they attacked me." I sighed and said,"Dad! What did I tell you about that?!" He sighed in ashame and said,"I know! I know! Stupid I know but you know me, never thinking." I sighed and turned to look at the man and he was gone, strange. Dad asked,"Where did that man go?" I shrugged and said,"I don't know he was there now he is gone." He said,"Well, anyways, let's head inside so we can put more of the furniture up." I sighed, there is never work to be done we are always up and doing something. That's just the way work.


After all the furniture was all together, I began planting flowers outside. While I was planting I heard something roam in the bushes. I looked up and saw nothing, I yelled,"Hello? Anyone there?" No response, so I just went back to my work then I heard it again. I was getting annoyed, I stood up and yelled,"Okay whoever that is they better come out because I am getting annoyed!" I kept looking and saw a rabbit bounce out of the bushes. I sighed in relief and I went back to my work. Suddenly I heard a sound of a door opening and looked back at the house then saw one of the doors to the basement open. What should I do? Go in or stay out? I didn't know what to do, I just went inside. The basement was full of old furniture, it was very dusty. I saw old pictures of a family then I saw a picture of her...The woman I saw last night, her blonde hair, her hair into a bun, and her face looked so familiar....I looked at it closely then I saw someones' reflection in the glass of the picture. I gasped and stood up. It was my dad phew! He said,"Oh sorry, didn't mean to scare you." I sighed in relief and said,"Sorry I just...the door opened and I...checked out what's under here." He said,"Well, it's full of old stuff. I might sell it to an antique store. Might get enough of money off this stuff." I yelled,"NO!" My dad looked at me confused then I stammered,"Umm...I mean...well, maybe this stuff belongs to someone and they would hate for someone to buy them." My dad just laughed and said,"Okay then see you upstairs kiddo." I smiled and said,"See you." He walked upstairs and I was alone again. I looked at the picture of the woman I saw last night. I said to myself,"Who are you? No one might not tell me but I'll find out soon." I heard something fall and saw a locket, I picked it up and opened it. There was the woman and a man that looked slightly familiar I just can't recall.... I heard my dad yell,"Lea! There's dinner!" I sighed in annoyance and yelled,"Coming dad!" I ran out and went to eat dinner. Why is this woman haunting me?


After eating and watching a football game, I went to bed. I layed in bed, pretending to sleep then I heard a woman's voice whisper,"Lea." I sat up and saw the woman from last night, she was kneeling near my bed. She said,"Please help me." I said,"You answer me a couple questions." She nodded and I asked,"Who are you? Why you here? Why me?" She sighed in sadness and looked down. She stood up and began leaving my room. I whispered,"You can't leave! You have to answer my questions!" She looked back at me then opened the door and left. The door closed then I sighed in frustration and fell back in my bed. Why doesn't anybody listen to me? If she won't help me, I'll just find out myself. I am going to choice number 2, a place where you can find any kind of information you want. The library.
