Wow, it's rather cold for Halloween night. I mean it's always cold but, this is intense, if that's the word I'm looking for. I still have a few more blocks to go. My little sisters just love this night, I think I recall one of them mentioning that this is their favorite holiday of the year. If it just wasn't so darn cold maybe I could enjoy it too. I should have checked the weather channel or something before I left because these light jackets I have chosen for the three of us just isn't doing it.
"Can we go to that house Joce?" my little sister Samara asks.
I look up at the house her frozen little finger is pointing to. It looks kind of scary and since its Halloween night I can't tell if it's meant to look like that or if it's genuinely haunted. I don't think twice about it, I make my sisters a deal.
"If we go to this house it's going to be the last one, after that we should start heading home. Then we can look at all the candy you guys got. Does that sound like a plan?" I say, hoping they won't start complaining at the thought of going home.
They look at each other and sometimes I swear they can hear each others thoughts. They're really close in age, only two years apart. When they've finished thinking things through to each other (silently I might add) they turn back to the house and reply to my bargain with a simple "Okay, sounds like a plan."
Thank God, is what I think this weather is not suitable for any person in their right mind. So we walk up to the house and strangely it gets kind of warm, it kind of feels like I'm standing next to a heater. It was freaking me out to say the truth. My sisters noticed it too, I could tell by their expressions and the way they were silently conversing with each other. This feeling made our approach up to the door seem to take hours instead of minutes.
We finally reached the front door. I extended my arm as far as I could- I didn't want to get any closer than I already was- to ring the doorbell but with a loud BANG the door flew open right before our eyes. It took the breath out of me because it scared me so bad. I looked down at my sisters but they didn't look scared at all in fact they looked sort of like they knew it was going to happen. All of a sudden I just see my youngest sister, Samara, run as fast as I've ever seen her run into the house. I was just terrified I stood motionless unable to comprehend what she had just done. I snapped out of it as quickly as I could and grabbed Mari's hand and ran in after her.
When I reached the flight of stairs the temperature seemed to drop. "This is not good" I thought to myself. Why does the temperature feel like it keeps changing? I was getting really worried right now, where had my youngest sister run off to?
"Samara?!" I called out hoping that this would solve everything, knowing that it wouldn't.
Out of nowhere I heard a loud thud and this sent a ring of alarm throughout my whole body. That couldn't have anything to do with Samara. I was freaking out. I grabbed Mari's hand tighter and went running looking through all the rooms as I went. My breathing was picking up and my imagination was running wild. I thought I was seeing shapes or various objects when in reality, nothing was there. Then I heard it. I heard my little sister's voice.
I stopped right where I was and picked up Mari knowing that that would not be an easy task being that she was already seven and in second grade but I had to move faster, I had to follow Samara's voice.
I heard it again, I followed. Mari began to cry silently on my shoulder and I knew that this was not right at all. We had to leave this house and NOW.
I finally followed my sister's voice to a door. This door was unusually older than the other ones, I noticed. I grabbed the doorknob and held my breath. What could I expect? Never mind that, my sister was behind the door I had to go in no matter what was there. I had to save her.
I opened the door and there she was safe and sound but she was just standing in the middle of the room talking to someone that I apparently could not see. This is weird I though but there was no sign of alarm or panic in her face. Right when I thought that no one was in immediate danger there was a giant flash of purple light! I couldn't see and was momentarily blinded. I grabbed the back of my Mari's head and held it to my shoulder I didn't want her to see this light. I shut my eyes and was yelling for Samara to come to me. Just when I thought nothing else could go wrong a high pitched buzzing sound went off and I could no longer even hear myself yelling my sister's name.
Then there was just darkness through my eyelids and silence in my ears.
I looked over to where my little sister was standing and she wasn't there but there was a black ring of burnt wood where she had been standing. I ran over to where that ring was and felt the temperature change yet again. I began crying because I didn't understand anything that was going on. I looked around then I saw it.
There was a large opening in the ceiling that was the cause of this temperature change in this room. Beyond this hole was what looked like a motorcycle or a jet ski of some kind, only this device was floating in midair! On top of this, thing, there was a great beast! It had really big eyes and had purple skin, a shade lighter than the bright light had been. The worst part of all, I see Samara sitting right behind him in some sort of cage. Only this cage is made of electric waves not the regular ones you would see normally. I called out her name through my tears and before I was even done with the last syllable of her name she was gone.
