Ariana ran towards the house and closed the door behind. The house was dusty with spider web covering the walls and ceiling. She knew she should have come earlier to clean it up.
But, she had no courage to do so. It had so much memories of her grandmother that she loved. She needed time before coming back to this broken house. Too much memories.
They were poor but she was happy living with her loving grandmother. It would have been perfect without her drunk uncle who would beat her up when he felt like it. She hopes she will never see him again. Ever.
The sound of the knock on the door made her come back to reality, "Go away, Mr Knight!"
"Can we please talk?" Alaric said while knocking on the door. "I'm not leaving till you let me explain. Please"
"I don't want to hear it. You got the wrong person. Go away! Or I'll call the cops" Ariana said with her back pushing the door shut.
