I look up at my grandmother and say softly "where are we going grandma?" she replies "we are going to your uncle's house... he does not live there anymore" she goes silent as we hop into the car.
We arrive at his house it is very old and dirty and the wallpaper is falling off and the flooring is damp. The pictures on the walls are crooked and dusty.
I hold onto my teddy tight as we enter the kitchen. The pots and pans are broken there are smashed plates scattered along the ground the cabinets are empty and the bench is grotty smothered in grease and other rotting foods. I say to my grandmother "this house is very dirty... and a little scary" I mumble in fear. "its ok my dear nothing will hurt you it's just an old house" my grandmother says.
We walk into the children's room its filled with ripped up teddies and the bed is creaky. The wardrobe wobbles when you walk up to it and the mirror is shattered.
I take a deep breath before walking into the parents room. The blanket is torn up and so is the carpet. The drawers have scratches all over it and it can barely stand up. The bathroom door has a hole through it.
I step into the bathroom as a shiver runs down my spine. The walls are covered in red painted the sink is filled with black goop. The toilet seat is gone and the showers door is broken. "this house is disgusting" I say to my grandma as she looks back shocked "don't you dare say that about this house" grandma says angrily.
We walk back into the lounge. I sit down onto the wet patched up sofa as cockroaches come crawling out. I look at the paintings as my grandma goes out to get some lunch. i look closer at the paintings as blood drips down the eyes of a girl sitting in a meadow "AHHHH" i shout as my grandma comes running in "are you alright" she says in a worried tone "yes i'm fine" i say as i look back at the painting *oh... i was just hallucinating* i think in my head "don't worry grandma i think i'm just tired" i say as i head to my room.
I walk into my room as the floor creaks. I jump into my bed and say goodnight to my grandma "if you need me i'll be in your uncle's room" says grandma as she kisses me goodnight. As she walks away i get this funny feeling like somethings watching me but i try to keep my mind off of it. I try to fall asleep but i feel strange i toss and turn but something doesn't feel right. I open my eyes and sit up i turn around to find my door wide opened. I look closer and see a dark black figure in the distance with a cold red stare looking straight at me.
I flinch and wake up *oh it was just a dream* i think in my head as i walk out into the sunlight. I come into the kitchen and see my grandma cleaning it up "would you like some help?" i say "yes that would be great" says my grandmother. We both finish cleaning and the kitchen looks spotless "great job" says grandma as she reaches for something inside her bag.
"look what i got for you at the shop" she says as she pulls out a new barbie doll "THANK YOU GRANDMA" i say excited as i open the package. "now let's go to the cafe to celebrate" grandma says "put the barbie in your room so its safe". We had a fun time at the cafe i got a blueberry muffin it was yummy... but little did i know what was waiting for me at home.
I step into my house as I feel cold breeze. I stop for a second as i feel something strange i walk into my room to find black goop splattered on the walls with a red mark spelling *GET OUT*. My poor poor barbie laying on the ground torn apart with pieces scattered everywhere. I fall to the ground in disbelief and start to cry.
