"According to the news, there will be a calamity that will come if you will not wake up,"
Soleil was startled from the voice of Kale. She wants to return to her sleep even though she is now half awake, switches positions and sit comfortably in the car seat but Kale tickled her sisters' side abdomen and that area is the most sensitive part of Soleil.
"Sister, you really don't want to wake up huh," Kale teased while tickling her sister.
"Kale Anthony Innocencio w-will you stop! HAHAHA," Soleil burst into laughter while trying to get rid of Kale's hand tickling her tummy. She really wants to punch Kale right now but he's her sister so she suppresses herself. It's a good thing she loves her brother because if it is anyone else, Soleil really give a punch if somebody tickles her after she wakes up. No one wants to receive a tickle after they wake up. "W-what do you mean HAHAHA, Calamity? You mean the calamity of your tickle?"
Kale stopped tickling her and after he stopped he run immediately to the house and laughed because he knew her sister will pinch his ears if she will catch him.
"You better run Kale! You're a dead meat if I catch you!" Soleil threatened. Kale just laughed at her sister remarks but deep inside he is scared because just like him, Soleil pinches and punches hurt the most. The reason of this is that both of him and Soleil trained mixed martial arts for 11 years. Her father said that it is necessary to know how to defend yourself because you never know the danger that will come. At least, they know how to defend themselves in the time of danger.
She looked at the exterior of the house. The moment she saw its exterior she senses a strange vibe emitting from the house itself. But at the same time, the house is a perfect picture of calmness and peace. The modern house has a traditional touch of them and you can see that the previous owner of the house is a plant enthusiast from the looks of it. Soleil didn't know that strangeness and calmness can exist at the same time and the house is the ideal description of it.
"The house is beautiful right?" Soleil was startled from her mother sudden remarks on her side. "It's a good thing we found a house like this. Actually, at first I doubted the validity of this house. I mean, how could a house like this could be so cheap. I thought that it's just a scam, but they showed me a full document that they are really the owner of the house and that the house is really that inexpensive."
"Inexpensive? Maybe the reason they sell it for a low price is because there's a ghost living in the house or maybe there's a person who were murder in there in the past?" Soleil seriously said. Soleil loves to read and watch paranormal and crime things that's why she's a hardcore fan in paranormal beings and sometimes she even pretends she is a detective.
Her mother flick her forehead to bring back her senses. "That's what you got every time you watch those paranormal stuff and forensic files. I don't know why you watch those kinds of stuff while you don't like romantic films."
" Ma! For your information, I watch romantic films-"
"You mean Paranormal romance and thriller romance?"
"At least it has romance in it"
"I don't really understand your taste Sol, even you are my daughter."
"Ma, you like romance but you don't like paranormal, and I don't like romance but I like paranormal. So my point is, we have our own differences and it's ok."
"And similarities," her father inserted while carrying a box, probably a bunch of clothes is inside of it. "You both don't like to lose and you both believe you are correct and do what is best despite the limited vision of their detractors"
Soleil and her mother both look at each other and laughed. They realize, they're arguing over a foolish topic. They continue to walk into their house "Now the two of you made up?" her father asked.
The two ladies both looked at the father "We didn't fight" both of them simultaneously replied. The father shrug and laughed at them. "Like mother, like daughter huh". He muttered while staring at the two going inside the house.
When Soleil entered the house,the scent of a pleasant smell, a darling aroma of the flowers, greeted us as we enter. The furniture is covered with white fabric.There'sa large windows who were shaped in an arched structure. Through them light flows through all seasons, illuminates the forest browns of the wooden floor.
"Sol, my dear sister. You're not mad at me right?" her brother asked while hiding in the side of the stairs. Making sure that her sister won't retaliate from the trick he made earlier.
She glared at him, "Oh, you bet, alright! I'm really mad that I want to pinch your ugly cheeks and punch you straight to your nose." She jokingly said while rolling up her sleeves. "Stop hiding in there and help me unpacked this boxes or else, I will seriously beat you"
Kale heaved a small sigh and went to her sister. He knew her sister won't beat him except if he done something unmerciful. He picks up the box that has a sign "Kale" and went to the spacious room he saw earlier. Kale made sure that he will be the one who got in first to the room so that her sister won't precede the room. The two of them agreed the rule "first come, first served" in order for them tostopped arguing over things they both like.
After Kale went to his chosen room, Soleil grab the first box that had her name on it and walk upstairs to find a vacant bedroom. She remembered her mother told her yesterday that there are totals of 4 bedrooms in the house and it's all upstairs. The stairs are well-made from the looks of it. Although, there are some holes and dust, it still looks elegant if it is clean and fix.
As she roams around the second floor she saw a beautiful purple butterfly and then, it landed on her fingers. She was amazed by its beauty, there is something about it that is captivating and enchanting that's why when the butterfly flew out from her fingers she decided to drop the box she's holding and followed it.
As she follows it, she felt a deep connection to the butterfly. It's like the butterfly is telling something she doesn't understand. The butterfly flew to the another stair. It looks like it leads to the attic.
Soleil was surprised that the door of the attic was opened. Maybe the previous owner forgot to close it? When she entered inside the attic she can't find the butterfly. It appears it vanishes in the mid-air. The only thing she found in the empty attic is a big mirror that covers in white fabric at the center of the room. She went closer to it and remove the white fabric. When she removed it, she was shock not because of the vintage mirror itself but at the reflection of herself.
The face is still her, but there's scratch marks all over her arms and the reflection of herself was wearing a black silk night dress unlike her, she's wearing a blue jeans and a white hooded top. Both of them, has a surprise and dumbfounded expression. She looked at her arms if there are any scratches marks but her arms have no traces of scratches. Soleil and her reflection step back at the mirror. They both raise their hands but when Soleil make her face closer to the mirror her reflection did the opposite.
Because of this Soleil certainly sure that the person inside the mirror wasn't her, but someone who looks like her. The person inside the mirror muttered something but Soleil can't hear it. She and the other her, slowly reaching their hand to the surface of the mirror and when both of their hand touches the surface, an invisible force suck their body inside the mirror.
