The Haunted House by Samsam Chen (free novel reading sites txt) 📕

looking back at the others. Yet nothing happened they didn’t even look back at me once. I felt as if  I was hated. I decided to explore the house on my own. Joseph was nowhere to be found near me so I had to stick alone and explore. Sure I was scared but, I had to be brave and not be a scaredy cat. I passed through the chimney and it gave me chills down my back. I looked at the chimney, there stood heads of my mom and dad and the bodies of unknown peoples. I got the creeps that someone was following me. I looked back, nothing, absolutely nothing. There was a presence there I just know there is, but I just don’t know what is there and why is it there. It felt like a soul of a lonely person down in the chamber who had just followed me out when I was set free. How I longed to meet Joseph again to say sorry. I bumped into so many people in the house but not once did I meet Joseph. It was hard for me to not think about him. He was only one I had left in the family. The only one that cared for me the most and understood me at times. All those times I was selfish and only thought about myself.

Chapter 6: The Unfaith Truth

If only I hadn’t done anything wrong. In truth I didn’t think it was going to be that bad to make a promise. A promise with the devil. The promise with the untruthful dream keeper. That day i’ll never forget what I had done wrong. I want to find him. Joseph I mean, I have to find him and apologize. I always thought that a story ends when the main character finds their love ones. But this one is different, this one isn’t the same as any story. All those happy ending, all of the sad endings, this one won’t even have one. It’ll have a ending just a horror ending. A ending where no one gets to live in terror. Where the dream keepers shall keep you buried in their chamber. The ghostly horrors of the story shall continue. I went down stairs, *creak creak* went the old wooden floors. There stood another dream keeper, like the sandman the story goes like this “The sandman doesn’t like children who sleeps late, so he takes a spoon and digs out your eyes, and eats it,” That's what I usually heard when I was a kid. There was the dream keeper, digging out the eyes and the parent was close to the child as it stared in horror. The child’s eye widens up and closes again. He tried to blink but was taunted by the horrible memory. Did you know what happened to that kid? If you guessed that he was sent to the chamber you are correct. Why he was sent there? Well i’ll explain why, because this child was too scared he couldn’t participate in the events that were held in the house. The house of doom was only for brave children, I was an exception because I was the one who made the promise. Maybe I started all this mess. I might not know but there's one thing I do know for sure, i’m not alone.

Chapter 7:Memories

 I use to think that I was the only child. That my parents only needed me. That’s when I learned that my parents had a baby brother. His name was Joseph. When he was first born I thought he’d be annoying, because you know how babies are? They cry when they're hungry, they cry when their diapers are wet. When I first met him though it wasn’t that bad. He didn’t cry as much as I thought a baby would. He just sat quietly staring into space. When his diapers were wet he’ll try to crawl with a saggy diaper. When he was hungry he’ll just point at his food. I thought he was pretty cute. Pretty funny for a baby too. For all I knew I was in charge of him. I had to take care of him, it was my responsibility to do so. I took care of him for sometime but sometimes my parents did. When he turned 5, there I was right across from his room. He was whispering to something or shall I say someone, in the darkness. I did hear someone say “Listen to me and i’ll spare your parents lives, IF NOT YOU SHALL ALL BE A GONER. A GONER I SAY. take my advice and listen as I say for now farewell.” I went inside and said  “Hey Buddy, how’s it going?” He didn’t answer and just nodded. I looked around his room and said “Pretty big room you have here right?” He still didn’t answer and just kept nodding away. As if I was scaring him. I asked him “if you need anything or scared i’ll always be here for you okay buddy? Just know that i’ll stay by your side.” Joseph in a low whisper said “thanks bro”

Chapter 8: Weeping Angels

 

Chapter 8: Fiery Death  

 

That night, I saw someone die. Someone almost like Joseph but just wasn’t. I too went to explore this gigantic house like mansion. I couldn’t concentrate on anything at all. My mind was blank, only insearch of Joseph was my objective. I never intended to live in this death house forever.  I never thought that my precious family would be killed right in front of my eyes well Joseph’s eye in reality. I couldn’t say anything either. Just wondering around the house alone. In this haunted house of death. Where only children can play this game. It's stressful yes, it's dreadful, we all know that at least I hope so. This house everything  here is all dreadful, everything is a crime like scene yet so innocent but deadly. Yet the outside looks so clean, but inside looks so dirty and haunted. For there are things I know that don’t exist that are in reality now. It's quite scary but it all true to the eye. Many things aren’t see able in the eye. There are stuff that I don't believe  that actually happened. My brother Joseph was probably dead by now I mean really it been days or maybe years that I haven’t seen him. What if he was dead? What if the dream keepers killed him? What if he got lost and was locked away? Oh! How I worry about him so much. Where in the world can he be?  Looking around alone Joseph walks past chambers and thorns. Thorns of roses that may be poisonous to the skin. Joseph along the way was looking for his older brother Joshua. Perhaps they had the same idea of them both being dead. The thorns had seemed to grow longer, following the trails Joseph takes. Joseph looks all around, seeing the thorns just creeping up on him. He took a long look and saw weeping angels. Weeping angels? You may wonder what weeping angels are. Weeping angels cover their eyes with their hands. When you look away they start sliding to you. They’ll kill you is what the show Dr.Who said. ( I THINK) I looked away for a bit longer, soon after I heard stone sliding on the floor and still I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. That night I stayed at the chamber where the weeping angels. I was scared to sleep after watching so much Dr.Who had scared me. Was I going to die here? Was I going to live to see my brother one more?

Chapter 9: Confusion

That night I woke up, to seeing a weeping angel right in front of me. I scremed in terror, only noticing that it still didn’t move. How’d it get there I don’t no. I slowly moved away looking at the weeping angel as I moved. As I moved I still heard stone sliding. Where’d they come from, I looked around, I was surrounded by weeping angels. All these angels everywhere. Everywhere had an angel, how do I hide. More like where do I hide?  Surrounded by all these things, I feel like i’m going to die here, i’m going to rot here and just die. I guess i’ll be alone in this chamber. This chamber full of  weeping angels. All these terrors just haunts me to death, this is very difficult for me. I can’t do anything to save myself,  there was nothing I could do about  being alone here in this chamber. The chamber will be full of weeping angels where i’ll rob in terror and probably die faster. I looked around, shadows everywhere. I whisper “Who’s there? Show your self.” There stood a dream keeper. “You!” I scream. “You made all this happen, if you never  took my parents away from me I would've never been here! I WOULDN’T HAVE TO
