HAUNTED THREE

The sky turned gray,and the earth roared with thunder,erupting the grounds,and thus leaving a crack on the surface of the earth.Green fumes oozed out from the ground beneath and a masked figure seen,silhouetted in the dark,followed by another.They turned,facing each other,and with their claws,ripped their masks off and their robes alongside.

"And this is where we part ways...Sister."One of the creatures said.

"You can not say that,brother.You know I cannot leave you be."his companion responded

"But you must,sister.Queen mother needs you here."he said.

"You are right.I will miss you,brother."came her throaty voice as she locked her forehead on his.

"As will I,my Shalu,"

....

It was morning and the sky looked crystal clear and bright.Jaden yawned,and with a weary,stress-beaten body,got out of bed.The church bell chimed at a distance,and it persisted for a minute before the sound died down,bringing back silence all again.

The markings of the previous day,came crowding Jaden's young mind as she thought about what message it was trying to pass.She thought about telling her dad what they'd had seen,but she couldn't bring herself to.Not like he's going to listen.She thought,running her fingers in her brunette.

"Can't believe he's having me start all over."she scoffed,letting out a faint sigh as she headed for the bathroom.

Half of the west wing were yet to be cleaned,and the whole day cleaning and scrubbing were starting to wear her out.

"Ohh."Jaden muttered.If only dad would just listen,she wished.

She continued sluggishly,feeling nostalgic on how she was going to start anew."New house!"she shrugged."New school!"she gulped.New friends,she thought.

New!

New!

New!

All their lives,they've been moving.When will it stop?When?!She questioned herself,remembering her perfect little life back at SlickVille.

Now I'm forced to let go of every memories oncemore.I mean,how will Lori be fairing now?And Gloria...And gosh,even Hance...And of course,everyone!She wallowed in her thoughts.

...It's just like pre-school all again...

"Ohh!"she let a low moan out,turning the handle of the bathroom door as it came loose."Great!Even the door hates me."she hissed,tossing the handle aside.

She swung the door open,and with a creaking sound,came Jaden's frustrated moans.The not-so big shower room(as she called it),that had a tiny window carved out on one side,came in sight,making her groan even more."Ugh,dad!"she grumbled irritably.

A thought crossed her mind,and she couldn't help but match right in,whilst still clothed.She fixed her eyes on the shower head that stood above the side-scraped tub,and a crooked smile broke across her partly drooled lips.

...Ooh,it's got a shower.Me,like it...

Jaden smiled,hopping into the bathtub,and with her hands,slipped out of her kitten shorts and matching sleep top,throwing them out the door.She got the shower running,moving under it as the warm water trickled down,soaking her hair,with the rest of her slender body.It felt really good having the water trickle down her skin,and she let it do it's work on every part of her body as soft moans eluded her lips.

Jaden hummed and scrubbed for about fifteen minutes,and then a tap came upon the wooden door-

TWICE!

Accompanied by sharp footsteps upon the carpet outside."Dany?"she shrieked.

For a minute,she'd have sworn it wasn't real,but then it came again."D?"she whispered lowly."D-Dany,is that you?"she shuddered with a sense of deja vu,pushing the cotton nylon aside."Daniel!"she called louder,but no answer came.

Okay.That's weird,she thought inwardly,turning the shower off.

Her heart skipped a bit,and she  twitched her ears in the direction of the sound,wanting to know who it was."Uh,who is there?"she gathered up the courage to ask."Anyone?"

...Relax,Jaden.It's just your mind playing tricks on you.There's nothing out there.N-nothing!She breathed,turning the shower on again.

She repositioned herself,and with her head lifted in an upward direction,let the water brush against her face sweetly,inhaling the lovely fragrance of her White rosé soap as the lather came off her skin,onto the slippery ground.She slowly opened her eyes,and to her amazement,her legs were covered up in-

BLOOD!

"Bloody hell!"Jaden gasped,gaping at the red fluid,horrified.

"How....how..."she spoke breathlessly,making to climb out but felt-

STUCK!

"Oh,no,no,no,"she panicked."D-Dad....Daddy,where are you?"she cried."Daddy...Daddy where are you?!"she screamed louder,struggling to free herself."Daddy...."

"Baby..."Mr Hardley rushed in.

"Daddy,I can't move.I can't move,daddy.I can't move."Jaden alerted.

Mr Hardley stood transfixed,staring at her."What do you mean you can't move,Jade?"he asked.

"Daddy,I swear.I...can't...move!"she stammered,shivering intensely."The water's r--red."

"Red?No,baby.The water's perfectly normal.Here,take my hand."he offered.

Jaden quickly grabbed his hand,and followed at his command as a mischievous smile broke across his lips."You seriously thought I was going to help you,Jaden Hardleyson?!"

...Gasps...

"Hardleyson?!F-father?"

"Ha-ha-ha!Silly girl!"

He chuckled louder,letting go as a loud crash came,and so darkness did...

...Jaden...
