I'm doing this again!
I got Dark Flattop Level 8...lets see what I can do. Whoever remembers my story about Gift...this is going to continue... >
Merry Christmas...it will be your last.
Gift sighed as she sat on her bed, her legs swinging front to back off the edge. She was waiting for Kendrick to come and tell her it was time for dinner. She smiled a bit. She had been living in this home for almost a year...as of tomorrow. Kendrick had taken her home last Christmas where they had become good friends since then. She loved it here, she loved him, everything was perfect and she couldn't wait to see what a wonderful Christmas she would have tomorrow.
She grew bored of just sitting and decided to just go down to dinner herself. Silently walking along the floor, she went down the stairs and paused outside the kitchen...she heard talking.
"Okay, I've taken care of the parents." Said one voice.
Taken care of?! "I got the kid." Said another.
What are they talking about?! "Is that all of them then? Butlers, maids, everything taken care of?" asked yet another voice. Gift was beginning to get scared.
"Yes." Replied the two others.
"Great, then lets grab the stuff and burn the place down."
Gift's heart stopped. Was the place being robbed? What happened to Kendrick?! She turned and ran up the stairs, tripping on the way, causing something to break. She heard an angry shout from one of the men. They knew she was there now. She didn't stop though. She got up to Kendrick's room, wondering how this happened, how she wasn't aware. She froze as she looked down at Kendrick's mangled body, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. She cried out and ran from the room to his parent's room, only to find they were dead as well...so it was true...she was alone again. Tears streaked her face.
"I think she's up here!" Someone shouted.
Scared, Gift hid in the parent's closet, hiding in the deepest corner as she heard a door slam. Random gunshots. Shuffling around the room...breaking furniture, the closet door being ripped opened. Gift stared, wide eyed at the man who now pulled her by the hair out. She gulped as the gun was pointed at her head...
Gift woke up, in her bed, nothing wrong. She rushed downstairs again to find Kendrick and his parents in the kitchen.
"Oh there you are. We were starting to worry you were ill." His mother said.
"Are you alright?" Kendrick asked, smiling.
Relieved, Gift nodded, "It was just a dream."
Behind her, Kendrick's dad said, "Are you sure?"
She turned to see that he had a bashed in face and blood pouring down him and she screamed in horror as he drew closer. She backed up into someone else. Turning around, it was Kendrick, an axe in his skull, his eyes as sightless as her dream.
"You've been bad this year." He said.
"You should've never left that orphanage." His mother said, who looked just as gruesome as the others.
"Please make this end..." She sobbed, sinking down to her knees, "Please...please..."
Her family closed in around her...
Gift sat up once more in dismay in her bed. She was too scared to leave her bed this time. Scared she was still dreaming...how could she be sure? She pinched her arm and winced as she felt it. She remembered that in her first dream, she had tripped and felt the pain...she never died in her dreams though...That's how she would test it!
She once again raced to the kitchen, finding it oddly quiet this time. Finding a knife, she smiled and thought that perhaps she would really wake up this time. She brought the knife to her chest and groaned as it actually went through. But everything went dark. Yes! She would wake up!
Gift once again opened her eyes, in her own bed. She was sure that she was awake now. Going downstairs once more, she saw Kendrick and his parents having breakfast.
"Good morning." She said happily. No one replied. "Umm..." She said and walked over to the table, "Hi Kendrick." She said. Again no reply, "Hey!" She went over and went to poke Kendrick but her hand went through. She gasped and pulled away. What was going on? She saw that Kendrick's mom had started crying and put down the newspaper.
"She's made the paper...look." His mom cried.
Gift looked at the paper from where she stood and her heart sank. It showed her picture..and the headline saying "Christmas Tragedy" explaining how she killed herself.
"Was she really that unhappy here? She seemed just fine..." Kendrick was crying now.
No...no no no...NO! This can't be! Gift thought. She couldn't be dead! She was just trying to wake up! She was just trying to wake up! It was fair! She ran up to her room and looked around for something to prove to herself she wasn't dead...she couldn't touch anything solid...She knelt on the ground that she realized she couldn't feel and sobbed.

"On tonight's news, local family distraught as daughter "Gift" was admitted into the psych ward for tramatic reasons unknown. Later that night, right as Christmas began, the girl had some sort fit and later passed away. Mysteriously enough, her family also became deceased as well as a few other children and adults that possibly had some sort of connection with an old orphanage. Is this some sort of curse? Or a very unlikely coincidence? Dectectives just don't know." The reporter explained.
The tv clicked off. Sitting on the couch, she smiled, the glow of the tv making her face an eerie blue, "Yes...just a very unlikely coincidence...lets go with that..."
Sorry if it wasn't very scary.
