Grandad's secret

The road ahead was shrouded in mist. I kept my foot on the accelerator and soon saw the terrific so-called haunted house. I parked the car and looked at the house. This is where I was to live for the rest of my holidays. I thought about how grandad had said about how much fun he has in this old rickety house and this neighborhood. I have faith in my granddad when he says I'll have lots of fun as well..I woke up at 6 the next day, went down the stairs and saw my grandad reading his newspaper and sipping his coffee. Good old grandad, he still hasn't changed.“Well, good morning luna" he says to me“Good morning grandad" I saidI got to the kitchen and made myself some toast with butter and jam. While eating, I ask my grandad“Grandad, why do people in the neighborhood call this house a haunted house?"“Oh those are all lies, wouldn't I know if my own

After having a wonderful time with my friends the next day, we all had to go home and go to sleep. We had spoken again about my grandad being the man with his mouth full of blood and I told them about my grandad being so happy when he spoke about his wife and how it was too absurd that he was the blood man. On the way home, I wondered what drove those people crazy and who the man with his mouth full of blood was.On getting home, I bid goodnight to grandad and went to bed. I thought about what Zoe said, it couldn't be my grandad, could it?In the middle of the night, I woke up. I heard some movement downstairs and then a shrill scream followed by some more shrieks and screams. I got so scared. I put the blanket over my head as if it would protect me. Then I heard someone coming up the stairs, I tightened my fingers around the blanket. Then I heard my door creak open, I slowly lifted a teeny tiny bit of my blanket to see who it was.

“Luna, what's the matter, why're you crying?,”my mom asked coming into my room.When I got home from the mall, my mom had tried starting a conversation with me but my mind was too blank to listen to whatever she was saying and when she had asked what was wrong, I quickly ran up to my room as more tears were threatening to spill.“Uhm----listen dear, whatever it is, you have to find a way to deal with it because you're starting school tomorrow ” my mum addedOh shit! I completely forgot I'm going back to that hell hole. Can't life get any better?“I'll leave you now to deal with whatever you have to deal with ” she said.How I wish you knew it was your oh-so lovely dad that started this mess am going through.“The hell I will” I exclaimed. I'll definitely deal with grandad. My mum looked shocked before shrugging and leaving th

 I woke up abruptly with sweat on my forehead as I ran into the bathroom to empty my bowels. While doing that, I sensed movement behind me and something brushed my back. I shot up instantly but no-one was there.I sighed, turning around to flush the toilet bowl. My nightmares were repeating itself and they were getting worse. I was always waking up in the middle of the night in cold sweat to empty my dinner in the toilet bowl, leaving a bitter taste behind. It was like my dreams were haunted, which of course they were and they always made me so weak and frailI got back into the room and I realized that Rebecca wasn't on the bed, I frowned as  I got out of the room quietly and tiptoed down the stairs, avoiding all the parts of the stairs that creaked.I felt a bit cold as I saw  Grandad's favorite chair in the living room and what was worse was the fact that Rebecca was sitting on it, her eyes closed

 “Are you sure this is okay?” I asked as we stood in front of the house where the party had already started.“Yeah, now stop asking questions and let's partyyyy” Lily replied linking arms with me and dragging me in.I was really enjoying myself, so far there wasn't any horrible experience and I was lightheaded. It made me take my mind off things.I decided to look around and in the process, my eyes caught something at the window and I walked over to it. Looking out the window, I saw someone at a corner of the street holding up a balloon, staring directly at me!All the street lights were turned off and the only one on was the one directly above the person staring at me. The person had on the mask of a clown and held up a sign. On the sign read:‘I see you ’In shock and fright I quickly pulled
