This House

2004- The Rocko Family arrive to the Farm house as the sun is at its brightest. They all begin to step outside of the car and look around the premises.

Jane:" Kids go upstairs and get settled in. "

Alex:" Listen to your Mother and get ready for dinner. We are ordering pizza tonight. "

All three kids: " Yes! "

Meia looks up at the house as one of the windows crack. She jumps backwards.

Meia:" Did anyone else see that? "

Jane:" See what honey? "

Meia:" Nothing, one of the windows is broken."

Alex:" Oh? I'll get that fixed right away."

He walks over to Jane and kisses her on the cheek as he grabs a bag from the back of the car and begins to walk inside the house.

Meia starts walking up the steps. She steps onto the 6th step which feels light and hallow. She bends down and realizes the step was not just an ordinary step... but s secret compartment. A little black book lays inside the step with a clump of hair taped onto the inside of the wood. She grabs the little black book and begins to flip through the pages.

She thought to herself.

It's empty? How strange... Ew a clump of hair?

She takes the book with a confused look on her face and shuts the compartment and continues upstairs. Meia jumps on her bed and takes her pen out and opens the little black book. She begins to write.

Hello, my name is Meia as is Mia but spelled with an E. I just found this book and it's strange. An empty black book... In the new house? I feel like I never had a choice in the move. My father got a promotion and his Company decided to move us all the way out here... in Portland. Not once did he talk to me about this dramatic change. You do know what this means right? New school, new friends, and new bullies. Yuck! How can I ever replace my childhood friends I left back home? Yeah sure it's a small town... but it'll never be Vallen. Crime rates are the lowest in the country and we have never had to move before... so why now? I wasn't even supposed to know about the move- Yeah like mom and dad are going to pack our stuff for us... They can't even step one foot into Jimmy's room. It's like a barn in there. Surprised he can even find his way out ahahaha- Now Jimmy is my older brother who has bright green eyes with brown hair. He is a year older than me... the big old 16. He is the favorite. Which by now I could care less. My sister Klay... she is a handful but I love her. She's only 11 and has beautiful long straight blonde hair. While me on the other hand, I have dark brown hair with hazel eyes. All three of us are different from everyone else in the family... Probably why we all get along so well. What if this move changes all of that?

It's hard being the middle child. I have visions. Not just any vision. Visions of the future. No, not like the visions on "That So Raven" My visions seem to take a few days too manifest.

A LOUD NOISE IS HEARD FROM THE KITCHEN DOWNSTAIRS

Meia jumps up and quickly closes the little Black book and tries to hide it as her Brother Jimmy walks into her bedroom.

Meia: " What are you doing in my room? "

Jimmy: " How do you feel about this house so far? "

Meia: " Well... I haven't really given it a fair chance."

Jimmy: " Mom and Dad should have talked to us before making such a big change. I doubt I'll make any friends here."

Meia: " You're great Jimmy and anyone who thinks otherwise... doesn't know you like I do."

He walks over to Meia and sits next to her on the bed. He looks over and sees her little black book on her bed.

Jimmy: " What's this for? "

Meia: " Uh.. Just trying to get better at writing haha."

LOUD CRASH IS HEARD FROM THE KITCHEN DOWNSTAIRS

Meia: " I thought that was you? " She said in a panicked voice.

Jimmy: " No and Dad is with Mom at the brunch-in with grandma."

He looked at Meia with shock.

They both walked down the steps together into the kitchen.

Meia: " Did you leave the door open on your way in? "

Jimmy: " No, I haven't left at all today."

They both look over at each other; close the door and they each take a weapon from the kitchen and search the home for any intruders.

Jimmy: " Living room is good! "

Meia: " No one in the downstairs bathroom! "

They both meet up at the bottom of the steps.

Jimmy: " If you don't want to go upstairs, I'll go and check everything out. Stay here. "

Meia: " Okay, be careful and scream if you need me. "

Jimmy begins to walk up the stairs. Slowly he reaches the top and peaks over the wall. He walks down the hall peaking in every room, opening closets , and checking every bathroom. As he gets closer to Klay's room he starts to become fearful. His hands start shaking as he opens her door.

Jimmy: " Meia? Weren't you downstairs? How'd you get all the way up here so fast? "

Jimmy groans and moans in pain as his knees break in half as " Meia " grins. laughs and walks away.

Jimmy: " WHAT THE HECK MEIA?! "

Meia runs up the stairs as fast as she can and as she turns the corner. As Jimmy lay's out on the floor she begins to panic.

Meia: " WHAT HAPPENED?! ARE YOU OKAY?! "

Jimmy tries to move away from her in fear but cannot do so.

Jimmy: " Get away from me! You did this!! "

Meia: " What? I was downstairs the whole time Jimmy. Just like you told me too. "

Jimmy: " Why lie? "

She takes her phone out and dials 911

Officer: " 911 What's your emergency? "

Meia: " My brother is hurt! His knees somehow broke in half..." She said in a panic

Officer: " Can you tell me what happened? "

Meia: " We heard a weird noise coming from our kitchen and one of our doors were wide open. We are the only ones home... "

Officer: " Okay, stay right there. We have someone on the way. "

Meia: " Please hurry..."

A few hours later.

Meia pulls out the little black book and begins to write...

It's 10:30 pm and my family still hasn't came home yet from the hospital. I Know they still think it was possibly my fault... but I--

CRASH! BOOM!

Meia quickly closes the book and places it underneath her pillow. She slowly tiptoes across her room to look outside her window.

She thinks to herself

Huh... Again?

A black figure runs past her bedroom door. She panics and calls her Dad.

Meia: " Dad! I think there is someone in the house! "

Alex: " Are you sure? Have you checked everywhere in the house? "

Meia: " I heard a loud crash downstairs and saw a figure walk past my bedroom door... "

Alex: " Meia... We do not have time for your excuses. Your brother is hurt. Did you do this Meia? Tell the truth honey. "

Meia: " You guys really think I hurt him huh? Well I'm going to prove you all wrong... and figure out whats wrong with this place... "

She hangs up immediately, walks out of her room and heads down the hallway. Laughing echos through the house. A whisper is heard...

Look at the back of the book...

Meia runs back to her room and grabs the little black book. She flips through the pages again. she stumbles upon the last page...

Dear Father, there is a bag with 20,000 dollars hidden somewhere in this house. It wasn't me... all the murders. I never hurt anyone. I just wish you would believe me but I see who matters more... and what needs to be done. You have gave me a purpose now.

As Meia gets to the bottom of the page blood falls from the ceiling and lands on the paper.

Meia: " What the heck? Blood? From the attic?... "

She opens the attic door slowly and begins to climb the ladder. Meia reaches the top of the ladder and peaks into the attic. It's dark, warm, and definitely packed with boxes.

Over here...

Hurry.

Before they get home.

Meia panics, climbs half way down the ladder, and thinks to herself.

I can do this. Maybe I didn't hear that right... or at all...

She climbs back up the ladder with more confidence then before and walks through the attic...

Meia: " Everything seems in orde-- "

As she walks over to the attic window she notices a duffle bag with a pen placed on top. She bends down to unzip the zipper. A pool of blood starts forming around the duffle bag as she opens it completely and finds...

Meia: " Is this the money the little black book was talking about??! "

She notices the puddle of blood surrounding her as she picks up the duffle bag and starts to run downstairs in a panic.
