Albert's PoV

It's a cold night and i'm in the car going to my new home with my family i don't know what time it is but the environment is dark i can't see much lights on the road.

My .Mom and my sister are fast asleep and dad is driving the car I saw on his eyes that his sleepy..

Albert:dad are we almost there?

Dad:not yet son the house is still far away.. about a few more miles before we get there..

I couldn't do anything but look out the window of the car,until I fall asleep again.

I just woke up to the smell of delicious food.. I opened my eyes and found myself lying on a soft sofa I looked around and found out that we had arrived at our new home, it's a little old, big and dark.

Mom:Oh, you're awake that's Great dinner is ready..

Albert:Dinner??

Mom:you slept all day.. your dad and I haven't fixed the rooms here yet so we put you there on the sofa for now.

Albert:why didn't you wake me up when we got here??

Mom:We know that you were tired from the long ride so we didn't wake you up and let you sleep.

Albert: where's dad?

Mom: your dad is in outside, chilling. Anyway, you should eat dinner then after that I'll walk u into your room.

Mom gave me a bowl of A hot delicious chicken soup after I eat dinner my mom walk me through the house.

Albert: mom why did u and dad decided to buy this house?

Mom: well your dad and I decIded to buy this because it's not that expensive. And it's also near to your dad's new job. It does look nice right?

Albert: mom, the house is kind of old,, And I don't know. it's kind of big what if there are some creatures lived here that we didn't know?

Mom: Albert… your saying nonsense. There are no creatures living here.

Albert: well, who knows?? We don't know how many decades this house made and how many people lived there and what are the histories of this establishment…

Mom: Albert stop being nonsense. U should stop reading some supernatural stuffs maybe that's the reason why you are imagining some stuffs. Anyway here we are in your new room.

I was surprised of how huge my room was. It's so big it's like a one whole apartment…

Albert: mom is this room is all just for me??

Mom: yes it is… Well it's kind of massive but most of the rooms here in this house is bigger than these… ohh by the way Albert I already cleaned this room up, and I also put some of your stuffs,so you can just rest.

Albert: thanks mom…

Mom: goodnight then… I'm leaving because I have to walk your Little sister to her room too.

My mom left and closed the door… I can't believe how massive my room was… It's like I can play baseball here with my friends.

I pick the baseball ball and gloves in my backpack and try to play catch on my own by hitting the walls...

While I was playing I suddenly hit an old oil painting.. Because of the strong throw that I did, the old painting fell of the wall…

I was kind of scared because my mom would be really, really angry of me if she knows that I'm playing catch here in my room… And causing the painting to fall...

I walk towards the painting to fix it and place the wall but suddenly I notice something in the wall.

There's a keyhole in the wall, well because of my curiosity I take a peek on the keyhole and I saw a old city with people walking around.. I was in shock while I was peeking someone also peek in the keyhole due of that I was shocked…

Unknown man: heyy?!? Is there a person here?!? Let me out!!

The unknown man was banging the wall and I hurriedly place the painting to cover the keyhole the man stops and my becomes quiet… I feel chill down on my spine. .

"What the heck is that!?"

"am I dreaming?!?" I murmur to myself.

Albert's pOv

After of what happened. I got scared and felt a weird vibe All of a sudden on that corner of the wall.

After I get ready to start a new day in this big house, I hurriedly run into the kitchen to eat breakfast. I saw my mom cooking something for breakfast and my little sister Agatha playing her doll.

Mom: finally your awake. The food will be ready in 3 minutes so wait a moment.

I sit up next to Agatha and thinking of what just happened last night. I can't really believe of what happened. Maybe I was so tired that I started hallucinating some things.

Mom: soo… Son how was your room?? Did u sleep well??

Albert: yep I did it was so comfy and cozy…

* honestly, of what just happened I don't think I slept well* (Albert's murmured to himself)

Mom: that's good… I told you there's nothing wrong here in this house… Well the problem is it's just a bit old… Also, some room of this house has things in it and furniture…

Albert: really?? but how?

Mom: well the caretaker of this house back then says that the former family who lives here before us were too lazy to move packed up the big and plenty stuffs in the end the family decided to leave it here so that the other people who lives here like us can take advantage those stuffs…

Albert: can I take some things mom?? Like books and other things that can be useful to my room?

Mom: sure, after breakfast you and Agatha can chose and pick something from the rooms here in this house…

Albert: thanks mom …

After the Breakfast, Agatha and I decided to go around to find some things that's can be useful..

Agatha: brother I found something lookkk!!

Agatha is bursting out of excitement and she pulls me to another room next to the room I was searching stuffs.

Albert: Hang on… Agatha…

Agatha: look brother I found an big big doll house!! And also it has dolls in it…

I look closer to the dollhouse that Agatha saw and I found a 4 dolls… 2 male dolls and 2 female dolls. And they both laying down on the bed.

Agatha: brother can I keep this??

Albert: sure… I'll help u to clean this and assemble this thing… after we search some stuffs...

Agatha: okayy okayy thank youu

Agatha smile at me and try to play the doll house that she saw..

the place we're The doll house is, is kind of weird .. Idkk I think I hallucinating again But because of some reaSons I walk towards something and stop through a wall with a painting of a little girl who has a doll in his hand..

I started gazing into it and The more I stare at it the more the vibe feels weird and uncomfortable.. There's something on these thing..

While I was staring at the painting I was froze when the painting starts to blink and smile at me slowly.. I was so scared to the point that I cannot moved my arms and legs.. it's like the painting is staring at my soul or something..

then suddenly.. My sister drag me and I came back to my senses..

Agatha: brother, are you okay?? You look so pale..

Albert: I'm fine..

Agatha: really?? Anyways u keep staring at that wall.. What are you looking at it??

Albert: wall?? What wall??

Agatha: that wall..

Agatha point at the direction that I feel uncomfortable vibe when I look at it I was shocked to see that there was no painting on it.. There was no little girl who was smiling and blinking a little bit.. my face turn pale more when I realized that..

Agatha: uhmm.. brother I think u should rest?? Your not feeling well are you??

It was afternoon while I was cleaning Agatha's Doll house, my mom suddenly called us.

Agatha: brother we can continue cleaning it again.

Albert: I'm almost done, u should go ahead first.

Agatha: okay. If u say so.

*Agatha walk away and go to mom, while me is cleaning up the doll house that we found.*

After a minute I have finally done cleaning it, the dollhouse was beautiful and vintage. It took me a moment to realize that someone was behind me.

Isabella: wow. What a nice doll house u have there Albert.

Albert: Auntie!!

I hug aunt Isabela, and she kissed my forehead.

Isabella: where did u bought that?

Albert: ohh it was an old stuff that Agatha and I found in this house.

Isabella: it's really beautiful.

Albert: anyway aunt, what are you doing here?

Isabella: I was here to talk with your mom…

Albert: talk about what?

Isabella: I don't know... She just called me last night and says that I should be here at afternoon… I think it's not that urgent.

Albert: Aunt You should Come in let's go.

I escort Aunt Isabella on the living room.

Albert: Mom!!! Aunt Isabela is here!!

My mom immediately go the living room and hug my aunt, aunt Isabella hug and kissed Agatha on her forehead.

Isabella: what's the matter Alexandria? Why did u call me in the middle of the night?? Is something bothering you??

Mom: well. I have to tell you something

Isabella: about what??

Mom: well. We should talk in private. I don't want to talk about this with the kids are around. I don't want them to be scared.

Albert: What do you mean mom?

Isabella: you know kids. You should go upstairs and clean your rooms. You better clean it properly because I will give a gift to whoever has the cleanest room.

Agatha hurriedly and I hurriedly run and clean our room.

While I was cleaning my room I remember the keyhole in the wall. I got scared a little, while I was sweeping the floor I can't stop thinking about the keyhole, the man who is trapped and what is the story of it. How did the man trap in the walls?? Does the wall is the door in an unknown place??

While I was thinking and drawn by my curiosity, someone called my name .

"Albert... Albert... Help… Help me… let me… Out..."

I began to froze completely. I can't move myself I can't shout and panicked… After that someone touch my shoulder and covered my mouth. That's when I started to scream loudly, I cried to death.

After that I lost my senses...

I fainted…

when I wake up… I was laying on my bed with my sister Agatha beside me...

Isabella: you're awake… Finally!

Albert: what happened? I can't remember anything…

Isabella: well I don't know either… I just saw u laying on the floor when I check you… I'm the one should be asking what's happened but then u said that you don't remember anything…

While my aunt was looking at me and checking me up… I suddenly remembered everything that happens.

Albert: Aunt Isabella?

Isabella: what is it?? Do you need something??

Albert: do you believe in ghosts and creepy stuffs??

Isabella: why do you ask that all of a sudden??

Albert: it's just.. Well.. Nevermind..

Aunt Isabella look at me and sat beside me..

Isabella: honestly.. yes I believe with paranormal creatures.. why do you ask it all of a sudden?

Albert: there's something I want to show you but please aunt don't tell it to anybody.. let's keep it as a secret please?

Aunt Isabella look at me in a serious expression and smile at me..

Isabella: Pinky Swear!
