looking out the window.

I didn't say anything. but I. too, wondered why

we had to do that. Noble just glared ahead.

"I'm not," he said finally.

Mommy turned slowly.

If you don't. I will scoop it all up and throw it

all into the garbage," she threatened.

"Why do I have to?" he whined.

"Because I told you to," she said. "That should

be enough reason. This is a house in mourning. We

don't simply go on as though nothing terrible has

happened."

"Something terrible is always happening,"

Noble muttered. He rose from his seat and ran out of

the room. We heard the front door opening and

closing,

"Noble!" Mommy screamed after him. I froze,

afraid to eat another bite.

"Go after him." she ordered. "See that he

doesn't do anything stupid. I don't want him too far

from the house today. And don't you dare go into to

the woods. Celeste."

She looked out the window again.

"They're hovering out there like mosquitoes

against the windowpane."

"Who. Mommy?"

She shook her head slowly.

"The spirits," she whispered. "Evil spirits." When I stood up. I felt my whole body

trembling. How close were the spirits? Would I be

able to see them?
