a lot of rooms. I called the cops and they came as fast as they could. the fire men came and the ambulance too.
When they got there, dad told me to go over to Andrew's house.
"Hi, Yvett," greeted Andrew.
"Hi, I don't feel like talking right now."
"Ok," Andrew quietly said.

"Class, today is our first quiz,"says Mrs. Wright.
Boo's went around the class and then we took our quiz. We all finished pretty quickly so Mrs. Wright graded them. Everyone in the class passed with a hundred percent.
"Cathy, can you keep a secrete?" I asked.
"Yeah, why what happened?"
"You know my neighbor, the old man?"
"Yeah, he seems nice."
"Well on Thursday I went over there for a lightbulb and he has lots of rooms. In each of those rooms was a dead teenage girl around our age.'
"What!" She yelled.
"Shh, I think those girls were raped then killed."
"That's scary, was the old man there?"
"No, that's the creepy part."
"Oh, well I'll talk to you later my mom's here, need a ride?"
"No, my dad's coming to pick me up." I happily said, it's nice to have a dad again.
"So, how was school after what you've seen in the past few days."
"Good we took a quiz today and the whole class aced it."
"Really, that's great, lets go celebrate."
"No, thank you though. I was wondering if Cathy and Sam could spend the night?"
"Sure as long as they have a ride here."
"Yeah, they do all I have to do is call them. Thanks dad you're the best," I said with a kiss on the cheek.

"I love your room, it's not how I imagined it," Sam said amazed.
"Thanks, I love tigers, sharks, snakes. and lizards. Actually that short story Mrs. Wright asigned, I'm writing it on Sharks. Want to hear what I have so far?"
"Sure," they both said.
"Yvett, your brownies are done," dad said. "Hi, Cathy and Sam, it's nice to see you again."
"Hi, Jacob," both of them said.
"Dad, I was just about to read my short story, want to hear it?"
"Sure."
I read it to them and they all applauded for me.
"That was great, you sure do know a lot about sharks. Now I know not be so scared of them," said Sam.
"I hope you get an A+. I'm going to be at work longer than usual so get a ride home. OK,good night girls. Lights out before twelve." Dad said leaving the room.
"Ok, good night dad. Come on guys, lets go to sleep.
I had the scariest dream last night, let me tell you about it. the old man was trying to get me to come to his house by bribing me saying stuff like 'If you come over here, you'll live better' or 'I will always be able to pick you up from school every day'. I actually thought that last one was a lame one because it didn't matter if he picked me up every day or not. Well my mom told me not to go because he was horrible and then the old man grabbed my mom by the hair and sliced her neck.
I woke up screaming.
"What's wrong," dad yelled running down to my room.
"The old man killed mom," I cried.
"Oh sweetheart, it's just a dream," dad held me closer to his chest.
Then the tears came pouring out, "I miss mom so much."
"It's going to be alright," dad cried along with me.
Chapter 5
"This week went by pretty fast. What you doing this weekend?" Maggie asked.
"Watching movies and sleeping."
"That sounds fun, can I come over this weekend?"
"I'll have to ask my dad, just make sure you have a ride. Tomorrow I'm going to investigate the old mans house."
"Oh, that should be a challenge. Aren't you scared of that house?" She asked.
"Yeah, that's why I'm having Andrew come with me."
"Who's Andrew, your boyfriend?" Teased Maggie.
"No, he's just a friend. I'll tell you more later my dads here, bye."
"Does Maggie need a ride home?"
"No, her mom is the principle. Can she spend the night this weekend?"
"Sure, this Saturday we're watiching The Unborn."
"That's a cool movie, Andrew and I are watching Twilight. I figured since the book was good the movie should be too."
"Do you like Andrew?"
"Yeah, he's really nice but the thing is, does he like me?"
"Yes, he does. He's always talking about you."
"Really, well the proms next friday. Should I ask him?" I questioned him.
"Yes, but you should wait and see if he asks you out.'
"But he doesn't even go to my school, I think."
"Oh, he does, he's ust in a higher grade," explained dad.
"Ok, fine I'll wait. He has until wednesday to ask me though," I said through with the subject.
When we got to the house and barely made it in, there was a knock.
"Yvett, someones here to see you," dad said smiling.
I went to see who it was and I saw Andrew with some blue roses, "What are you doing here, it's only five o'clock," I said with a little cheerfulness in it.
"I came to give these to you, my mom planted yo many so she's giving them away."
"Well thank you, they smell delicos and are my favorite color."
"Umm, Yvett, can I speak to you outside," Andrew said nervously.
"Sure." I said as I stepped out and shut the door.
"Ok, theres this prom at school next friday and I was wondering if you could be my date?"
Just to be a little difficult I said, "Why aren't you asking any of the other girls? I'm pretty sure they're all after you."
"Yes, they are but you're different and I know you more than I know them."
"Ok, well yes I would love to but I don't have a dress."
"Well, instead of going to the old mans house, lets go look for you a dress, my treat," said Andrew hoping I would say yes.
Thinking about it carefully I said, "Alright, but can Maggie come because she's going to spen the weekend over here and I don't want to leave her here."
"Sure and if she doesn't have a dress I'll buy her one too." He said eal happy that we were getting along. "So what are we watching today?"
"Twilight, have you read the book yet?" I asked.
"Yup, I read the whole series, I bet it's a good movie."
"I'm hoping or I just spent my money for no reason," I said joking.
"Haha, I got to go, see you later." Andrew said as he started walking back across the street.
"Bye, don't be late." I yelled telling the truth.
Chapter 6
So Andrew picks us up at around twelve something and Maggie, him, and I head to the mall. It turned out Maggie got her dress a month ago. Maggie and I went to lool for my dress while Andrew went to look for a tuxedo.
"Okay, he asked you to prom, watches movies with you every Friday, and is going to buy you a dress," Maggie said. "Tell me there's something wrong with me, why aren't you guys going out?"
"Because he hasn't asked me, I know he likes me because what kind of guy asks you to prom and doesn't even like you?"
"My cousin, he asked this girl out to dinner at our house just so we could think he had a girlfriend."
"Weird, but doesn't he have a girlfriend. He a hot guy, if I was in his grade I would be all over him."
"Well, yeah but at the time he was butt ugly." She said sarcatically.
"Ok, do you think this dress would work, I mean look at this prize," I paused then said, "I would never be able to afford this.
"I think it's great, especially with your size. You know you're small."
"Ok, let's go find Andrew."
We went to side where the tuxedos are and spotted Andrew right away. That's when Maggie spotted her date and went to see what he was up to.
"I see you founf your dress."
"Yeah, Maggie said I look good in it, you'll just have to tell me if she was right on prom night."
"Ok, go get Maggie and I'll go pay for this stuff."
I went to go get Maggie and that's when I seen him. The old man was here with another teenage girl.
"Maggie we got to get out of here. You know what I told you abotu the old man," i whispered in her ear.
"Yeah, but why we have to go."
"Because he's here.'"
"Oh, well this is David, he's taking me to the movies, want to come?"
"No thank you though, see you later Maggie. Nice to meet you, david."
I told Andrew what I saw and Ineeded to go home and tell my dad. While he drove me home I didn't say one word but to thank him for the dress. I said bye then I ran in the house to tell dad.
"Dad, I saw the old man," taking in breaths as I said it.
"Where, was he with another girl?"
"At the mall, yes, it was a girl in my class. I think her name was Dania Tiznando."
"Did you warn her?"
"No, I just told Andrew we had to go."
"Good, because you don't want the man to be suspicous. Where's Maggie?"
"She went to the movies with her prom date."
"Ok, that gives her tons of time to stay out of this."
My dad was already outside when the old man pulled up. he asked the man some questions then had Dania answer some. He told her it's her choice to go home or stay with the old man, and come up missing. She chose to stay with old man and also said that she had no home because her parents had died that morning and the old man showed up.
I prayed for her every day and always went to see how she was doing. Then one day when I went to see her she was dead. I tried to scream but heard footsteps coming towards the room. So I hid in the closet and I saw Maggie's body hung up and that's when I couldn't take it anymore and screamed.
"Who's there," the old man said,now he was running.
Tears came spilling out of my eyes and I knew he was going to find me and kill me.
"Hello, come out, come out where ever you are, I know you're in here."
I tried real hard to stay quiet but my heart was going a hundred miles per second. He could probably hear me from downtown. I guess he took Dania's body out the room because I didn't hear him anymore.
I really wanted to try to climb out the window but I was afraid he would come while I'm trying to get out. He came back in the room and stepped in front of the closet. Now I'm really scared. he twisted the hand;le and opened the door.
"There you are, now you're going to pay for coming in my house."
"No, please i was just coming to see how Dania was doing. I didn't mean to interrupt you," I cried out.
He pulled me out by the hair, "help me, somebody he's going to kill me," I said even though it was no use, no one could hear me.
"Shut up, you're not going to get any help. You shouldn't have come into my house," He said as he threw me against the wall.
"Ouch," I screamed. Then blood
