Chapter 1
My names Aubrey and I live with my family, we live in a small house but It's not too small, I mean it can fit more than my family. Next door to us, is a mansion. I hear a lot of things about the mansion next door, like how nobody has lived in it for a long time, weird right? I also heard stories that its been there for 5,000 years but I don't believe in it. I mean, it looks a bit old, there’s vines coming out of the windows climbing to the roof tiles, and there's also many cobwebs, though i’ve just seen the outside . . could it really be that old? I thought it was the only mansion in our neighborhood, so it’s really weird. My friends say it’s one of two mansions in our neighborhood but I’ve never seen the second one. “Honey time for dinner!” my mom called, ‘thud, plop’ as I shut my diary throwing it on my bed with all my might, the diary then bounced off my bed and flew right out the window with a loud clash! I screamed and my mom yelled “Honey? What happened, is everything okay?” I reply with “I’m okay!” My mother sighed, “i'm coming upstairs.” so I ran into the closet then started muttering repeatedly “don't look in the closet” tears filled my eyes as I squeezed them really tight. Eyes welling up, tears streaming down my face as I silently weep. Footsteps climbed up the stairs from my mom “thump thump” her feet went. I sobbed harder, scared for my life as my mom reached the room I couldn't help it but hold my breath as she looked for me, she eventually checked the closet, as I hoped she wouldn't see me as I cried for dear life, not knowing what to say if she did find me. She would scream at the fact I throw my new diary out the window.
