" I never wanted any of these to happen!" shouted Izzy.
It all began a month ago when Izzy starts to learn things that she shouldn't have known.
ONE MONTH AGO
"Dinner is ready!" shouted Annabel calling the people of the house to come down.
Everyone came down. Well, everyone except Tom. He had been playing video games all day until his friend called him and reminded him about the test that has been preponed due to the constant earthquakes that were taking place.
"Did the seismology department find the reason for the constant earthquakes?" asked Henry, being the eldest in the family.
"I don't know." replied Annabel.
"I seriously want to find out the reason too! These earthquakes are spoiling my art time... Last time when I was in my art class............" I started before I was stopped by a loud noise from Tom's bedroom.
All of us ran upstairs to find out what was happening. I was the first to enter the room. I saw Tom behaving oddly. He seemed so scared as if he had seen a ghost or something. He came near me and gave me a letter and said "He told me to give this to you."
"Who?" I asked.320Please respect copyright.PENANA4rQiTv8S79
By the time Tom was about to begin talking, our parents came to the room and Tom suddenly fainted. I snuck the letter inside my pocket. 320Please respect copyright.PENANAh1ahy6RF6z

"What happened ?" asked both the parents.320Please respect copyright.PENANAa92fy8CaGY
320Please respect copyright.PENANAZj5XuHHTJE
"He told me that he had seen a man and before he was about to tell me more he fainted" I replied.320Please respect copyright.PENANAITjOI38fdm

I noticed that my parents exchanged looks as if they knew what was happening. They took Tom to the bed, tucked him in, and told me to take care of him. I suspected that her parents were hiding something from her. Both the parents went downstairs to the storeroom and locked it inside out. I slowly went downstairs without making noise. I was able to peek into the room through the hole where the key would be inserted. I saw my parents taking a small wooden box that was covered in red velvet cloth. Tom started shouting all of a sudden. My parents were about to come out when I ran upstairs as fast as I can.320Please respect copyright.PENANAn4CxF59fqj

I saw my brother shivering and crying out for help. I went to him and asked him what happened. 320Please respect copyright.PENANAQH4lXp9Yli

"That guy over there is scaring me. Ask him to go, please!" Tom yelled pointing at his hands at the corner of the room.320Please respect copyright.PENANAyQPVj5ilHx

I saw a fair man standing there. I had never seen him before. But I felt that I was somehow connected to him. He came near us and said " My children. How are you ?"320Please respect copyright.PENANAKiMmSHJ4QK
Both of us were confused. But before he was about to tell something we heard our parents coming and the next thing we knew was that the man vanished and we fell on the bed.320Please respect copyright.PENANAZbgPmp99EZ

When I woke up, I noticed that my parents were scolding my brother since he had opened a box in the storeroom which our parents told us not to. I suspected that it was the wooden box that I saw in the storeroom. There was something in the box which is the reason behind all of this. My parents did not notice that I woke up. I was still lying on the bed pretending to be still asleep and was hearing what my parents were telling my brother.320Please respect copyright.PENANAHLxXLgaUoS

"Sorry, mom. I did not want to open it. But I couldn't resist. I was so curious. I am so sorry" cried Tom.320Please respect copyright.PENANABEBtGS4gAq
320Please respect copyright.PENANAOqHG2Vj4b8
The scolding stopped for a while. Then all of a sudden, my mom said, "It's okay. But we need you to tell nothing about this to Izzy!"320Please respect copyright.PENANAQDBnXk0w3z

I was a bit shocked. I did not know why or what my mother wanted to hide something so desperately from me.
