“Well! It’ll take some cosmetic work, but otherwise it’s in good shape.” said Willow’s mom looking at their new house. “And it was cheap.” said Willow’s dad very pleased. “Wonder what’s wrong with it?” he said but got a quick reply “Don’t joke like that.” said his wife.”... But you promise we’re not moving again?” said Willow “Yes, Willow. We promise this is the last time.” replied her mother reassuring. Suddenly Willow saw two faint ladies smiling smugly at the new guests
My parents always tell me not to be afraid of the dark… CREEEAAAK went to the door of Willow’s room as a faint lady went crawling into her room. Because if the “Monsters” can be scary… “ThOoOmAaAaSsSs… HEEEEELP… I-I CAN’T FIND MY EEEEAAARRRIIINGSSSSS…” said the lady at the door frame and she was a ghost and her name was Lady. Then another ghost came named Thomas “I have never seen you wear earrings, Lady.” He said looking down on Lady “That’s because I’ve Lost Them.” she replied. …Then I could be scary in the dark, too. “What is…” said Thomas looking at Willow with a baseball bat in hand and wearing a devil mask. “URAAH! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!” she yelled. “How dreadful!” said Lady “What is that!” said Thomas. Willow’s parents ran through the ghost to get to their daughter. “You okay Sarge?!” said her father and followed her mother “Willow! What’s going on?” she said right after him.” There were people in my room!” said Willow “What?” replied her dad very confused, “Did you feel that draft? Whoof!” said her mother. Her dad quickly got the bat “... Alright. Where’d you see ‘em?” her mom said looking around the room, “In the doorway.” said Willow. Thomas and Lady were waiting outside the room as Lady started to cry and said “AHH-HOOO! I don’t like when They run through us like that HOO-HOOOOO! So very rude..!” “Lady, that girl saw us!” Thomas said looking into the room.
The two ladies that Willow saw at the beginning are ghosts to Viola and Gladys. “She doesn’t look scary at all Viola! I don’t know what on earth lady was talking about!” said Gladys “HOO HOO! Well, you know how she is…” said Viola. “Lady and her theatrics…” said Viola very annoyed ”Hey, I’m trying to do my homework.” Willow said. Gladys and Viola look at her in surprise “Oh!” said Viola. “You can see us can you…?” said Gladys looking disturbed “HOO HOO! We aren’t used to that…!” said Viola. “What are you--?” said Willow but was then interrupted WOOF. WOOF! Ugh. Just a sec… WHUF- WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF! “Stop yelling at me.” said Thomas RRRRR WOOF. “You’re being very rude.” said Thomas once again. WHUF “SHH.” said Thomas RRRRR.” Why isn’t it barking at you two?” said Thomas looking at Viola and Gladys. ”HE.” said Willow then continued “Fenrir is a boy.”. “I’m sorry are you talking to me?” Thomas said looking down at Willow. “Hey, Sarge?” Willow’s mom said walking into the living room said continued “What was Fen barking at? Is everything alright? He’s normally so quiet.”. "He's fine mom." Willow said "...If you say so." she said unsurely. "Seriously, where is that draft coming from?" she said getting frustrated. Thomas looking down said "You're the little beast from upstairs, aren't you?". "Wow! RUDE. You came into my room!" she said very annoyed. "Oh. 'Your room'." Thomas said sarcastically. "Yeah 'My Room' and it's gonna stay 'My Room' because we are not moving again." she said swatting Thomas's arm away then said "What--! How--,". "--How can she see us?". Viola and Gladys rushed over "Well! They do say that children are able to 'Sense things'." said Gladys "Things." said Thomas. "'Ghosts!' HOO HOO!" said Viola then Gladys said, "Children have a certain level of 'Clairvoyance.'." "But normally they're scared, aren't they? Gladys?" said Viola and once again a reply from Gladys came right away "Oh yes, Viola. Why aren't you scared, Dearie?". "Uhh..." said Willow with a shrug "I mean. Me n' my dad watch a lot of scary movies. 'Ghosts' aren't really... 'Scary'.". "Disappointing." said Viola "We do so love frightening our guests! None of them ever stay for very long. We prefer it that way." said Gladys. Then Willow said very frustrated "I told you this is my home. I'm not a 'Guest.'. Do you really have nothing better to do than scare people?". "Nope!" said Viola then said "HOO HOO! We've always enjoyed playing pranks, Dearie. And now we have the perfect medium." "We're artistes." said Viola posing. Gladys and Viola talked about all the people that bought the Hadleigh house and Gladys and Viola are the Hadleigh sisters. Then said, "It has always been ours." (They looked very psychotic).
