It was seven in the evening already and every family member of the Johnson's had found their way back to the dark home. "Thanks for that awesome meal, that's the best thing I've had in years!" Joe had just hungrily emptied a plate of hot spaghetti and a couple of meatballs. "I'm glad you love my cooking" Viola blushed. The kids began to giggle, "Aunt V likes Joe o, Aunt V likes Joe o" they teased them and fled the room still giggling. "Don't pay attention to them, they're kids" A shy Viola put in. "Uh huh, yeah I guess so", Joe nodded. "So! Why don't I show you to your room?" Viola snapped, trying to ease the atmosphere. "Yeah, okay!" The Johnsons had spent a whole lot of money and time building the mighty house. Their's were the largest on the street, it was always dark on the inside, just like the other houses on the cobbled street. The houses on Mermaid street were closely lined up, the shades from each house shadowed the windows. But there was som

"Shh! We can't afford to wake him up!" "Everybody, focus!" "Do we really have to do this?!" "Yeah, we have to know the person we've let into our home!" "Keep your voices down guys. I gave him one of the hints in the book". "Alright, that's rule number what?" "Monica, bring out the rule book". "Oh here it is, rule number four, 'To find the key, you must first unlock the door, find two keys and begin your journey'". "Oh no you guys, go easy on him, he seems like a nice guy!". "That's not important for now, let's get on with it, shall we?" "Ok so, what's quest number 4?" "Sleep walking!" Uncle Millie rubbed his palms against each other with excitement and brought out a large candle. William sprayed some paprica on the lit candle and everyone present, smiled mischievously. "Seven candles, for seven nights!" "Hahaha, let the show begin!" A party of seven tiptoed on to the guest section. The unknown candle was placed on the ground in front of Joe's room. It's scent and smoke w

"That was so fun!" "Did you see that? I slipped on ice!" "This is so unfair, I should've won!" "Well you were too slow, boo-hoo!" "In your face! Chubby". He stuck his tongue out. "Oh my God! Kids kids! Calm down. Go to your room, shower and go to bed!" Amelia ordered. They all had returned from the park. Some played on ice, some played football, others enjoyed bowling; even though the ball was too heavy for them. The old folks were asleep somewhere in the house. William wasn't coming home today, Viola and her sisters-in-law, just had some quality time with the kids. "Aww, mum! No dinner?" "Not when you guys are so noisy". Amelia answered. "Remember you kids are black, not barbarians!", Olivia added. "Wow! Something smells nice". They began to sniff in the aroma. Everyone ran up to the kitchen to find the chef. "Hey guys! Welcome, welcome. Have your seats, cause dinner's ready!" "Yaaaay!" The kids happily reacted. "You can cook?" Caro wondered. "You are an interesting man

Joe, by now had become used to the way the Johnson's door freely flung open, all he had to do was walk into the house; after all, he was a freeman in the house now, so he thought. Now and then he recalled his first day in the Mansion, all he could was chuckle at the memory. He swung himself on to the bed and decided to watch some TV. An hour later, a soft knock came at the door, Joe quickly went to the door and brought it to his command, he found two little kids staring at him with large innocent eyes and a large cup of smoothie with one of them. "Hey Karen, hey George! What you guys doing here?" "We brought this for you!". "Thanks! It's been all while since I had a smoothie. Uh– would you like to come in?" The kids entered the room excitedly and sat on the large sofa. "When did you guys return?" "Few minutes ago!", Christian answered. "So, how was school?" "Good!" They chorused. "Okay– ", Joe looked up at the ceiling and then back at the kids, not knowing what else to say. "I

Joe laid on his kingly bed, spending the time away chatting. He scrolled through the messages on his phone— the chats he hadn't had time to reply to, were all lined up. Soon, he fell asleep; sleep was something every person had to obey, and the young man was exhausted. The large clock in the hall struck 11pm and all the while it had sounded so loud, old and dusty, it never seemed to disturb anyone whenever it spoke out with its loud voice. Joe had slept soundly these past nights despite the old clock's chime. Strangely, this time around, the doctor's eyes sprung open at the sound of the round clock. His eyes blinked flutteringly, His heart raced— he could hear it beating almost as if it would burst out from his chest; but it didn't! His eyes hung open, heavily. His dark skin tingled and ached. Instantly, he felt cold and his teeth clattered. He felt stiff, but somehow managed to come to his senses. He gasped in shock, realizing where he was. Quickly, he stood up from the bed and st

Another howl alarmed him, this time it sounded close. He turned his head and eyes in every direction, he broke a sweat, his heart froze. His head and eyes ached; for he knew the howling was for him. He continued his trek— slowly yet boldly, he was back in the middle of the tall frozen trees and the air felt more chilly. Two golden bright eyes came lurking in the misty shadows, two became four and four became ten eyes! The winter wolves had decided to come face to face with the stranger in their territory and Joe was frightened as hell. The white canines were beautiful creatures, but the doctor knew he wasn't to be fooled by their charm. One by one they came out of the misty shadows– snarling, gnarling, glaring at him, walking majestically in a formation towards the doctor. Joe stood still only for seconds, then he began moving backwards away from the wolves, but how he managed to move his legs he just didn't know; for he was fear stricken. The wolves barked at h

Joe! Joe! Doctor Joe!He could hear something like a faint voice calling out a word, his eyes opened up but his sight still blurry. Gradually he began to see her face— the beautiful lady with strange eyes who made his heart skip a beat. A silent smile appeared on his cheeks. "I got to see you one last time" he whispered. "Joe! Joe Wake up, I'm here, come back to us!" This time he could hear Viola's voice clearly. She tried to shake him out of it. With a fright, Joe raised up half of his body from the bed, Viola grabbed hold of him and held him close. "It's alright, 'Twas a dream", she whispered into his ears trying to calm him. In a swift motion, he left her arms; turning his head to the floor and let out several loud coughs. Finally he felt free, he began to understand where he was. He saw the lady beside him and some persons were standing over him. "I- I was dead!" the words came out breathlessly, his clothes were soaked in his own sweat. "No you only thought you were. You were

The Johnsons fell asleep in the living room, fear had made them unable to sleep in their rooms. Each one found a place in the room to sleep on.

They woke up the next morning with pains all over their body. The kids were already up playing around in the large hall. The air felt different today, there was a good sense of feeling all around the house. It seemed like the fear was gone. The ones who woke up first, woke the others with a tap.Awwwww!

Joe ran along a dark alley in the late hours of the night, he panted for breath and his whole body shook with fear, "Please don't hurt me! Please!!!" Joe woke up from a nightmare with a scream. His eyes opened up at once and his heart was beating a million times faster, he swallowed dryly. He looked around to confirm his surroundings, he realized he had been dreaming when he found himself lying on the hard brown floor and the scene was nothing like the one in his nightmare. The nightmare began to appear like flashes in his memory, he could remember being pursed by a strange creature that almost resembled a man, and the strange figure wanted to kill him!

Grandpa guided the kids up the stairs.They followed behind William and Grandpa walked behind the kids. "There must be some way out of this!" Joe exclaimed with concern in his voice. "Hey!
