Seeing as it is the 10 year anniversary, I was inspired to write a horror story (which will be updated weekly) about a girl named Sadie and her new life after moving back from boarding school.
Sadie slowly walked up to her house. It had been so long since she's been there, it didn't even feel like home. The front door opened as she started up the steps, everything felt like it was moving in slow motion. Her mom and dad stood at the door smiling, her mother was crying.
Her mom went running towards her with her arms wide open. She grabbed Sadie and hugged her so tight Sadie instantly lost feeling in her arms.
"Oh, baby. My baby, Sadie. I missed you so much. How was your flight? Are you tired? Hungry? I made your bed with your favorite pillow. Are you we-"
"Sweetie, slow down. She just got here. Give her some time to uh...to adjust. This is all just as new for her as it is for you."
Sadie smiled at her parents. "Hey guys. I missed you."
Her mom hugged her again. "Oh sweetie, we missed you too."
Sadie sat at the dinner table. She looked at the butterfly shaped clock on the wall.
"You guys, still have that? I thought you got rid of that in the move."
Sadie's parents looked at each other.
"Well," her mom started "we decided to keep some stuff of yours. Just in case you wanted it when you got here. We can take it down if you want."
"Oh, no. You can keep it up. I don't mind. By the way, dad, this is amazing. What do you call it?"
"Honey, you don't remem-"
"It's beef stroganoff, Sadie. Thought I'd try something new for you to welcome you home." her dad said
"Oh...nice."
Sadie looked at her mom who was sitting at the end of the table. She looked back at Sadie and quickly wiped away a tear.
"So, everyone ready for dessert? I made your favorite, Sadie. Home made chocolate ice cream!" her mom said as she started to gather dishes before darting into the kitchen.
It was dark in her room. Much darker than the room at her old boarding school. Sadie looked around at the porcelain dolls lined up along the shelves on her walls.
"Ew," she thought "those are coming down tomorrow."
She looked at the clock
11:37 pm
"Shit. I am not ready for school tomorrow." she said to herself.
Just then a glass broke downstairs. Sadie got out of bed and opened her door. She walked downstairs but stopped when she heard her parents fighting. She peaked around the corner and saw her mom in tears and her dad was holding her in his arms
"I know, baby. I know. This isn't easy for anybody. We just need to take it one day at a time."
"I just want my baby back. What happened? What did we do?"
"Nothing, we did nothing, and neither did Sadie. It's going to be fine. Everything is going to be okay. Let's just get to bed, okay? Tomorrow is a big day for Sadie...it's a big day for everyone."
