Chapter 1
"C'mon Iris! Let's get a move on," dad says, kinda annoyed.
"Alright, alright I'm coming!" I reply. Dads worried that we're going to be late to the 'grand opening' of our new home. The realtor we have been working with is going to finally give us the keys to our house.
"Hey dad, umm, I was wondering.... are we there yet?" I asked for the millionth time in five minutes. We were in the car and I was just bored, so I kept asking this question, over and over and over and over again.
"Omigosh Iris!! Can you please stop asking that? No, we aren't there yet!!" Dad kinda yelled at me. I knew it was time to stop.
"Yes sir," I murmured. There was an awkward silence as I held my head down in shame. It lasted for what seemed like hours.
"Hey Iris, guess what?"
"What?"
"We're here,"
I looked up. Sure enough, we had reached the neighborhood sign that read Hill Creek. Our new neighborhood. We pulled into a large driveway. At the end of the driveway stood proudly, our new blue-gray two story house. It was awesome looking! If you don't count the basement it was two story. Anyway, I couldn't wait to explore the insides of that house! All those mysterious corners and hidden corridors just calling my name! Oh now this was exciting! We walked up the driveway and met the realtor who had been waiting for us.
"Welcome home Mr. Renaldo! And you too, Iris," the realtor welcomed.
"Thank you, Harold. We appreciate all that you've done for us," dad thanked kindly. Harold handed us the house keys and walked to his bright blue car. He watched as dad unlocked the house and stepped in. As soon as I looked in, I knew that there would be no time to explore yet. The house was completely empty and was all dirty. There was hard work up ahead for us now.
