Thread: Down on the farm.

Amber bobbed her head, slightly nodding off in the chair she was sitting in, she had been waiting or days for this so-called nephew to arrive and claim his late uncle's farm. Some of the family members had asked her to house sit while the will was still being sorted though but Amber certainly did nt expect it to take close to a week. At first she was mre than happy to watch the house and farm all until the family members instructed her to stay away from the barn. They acted as if the was some sort of curse within it, a dark secret never to be revealed to innocent eyes such as hers, but when she mustered up enough courage to ask as to why, all they told her was that it was written within his will for only his nephew to enter the barn. Curiousity had struck her a few times, causing her eyes to drift towards the barn and wonder what was inside. Perhaps a peek wouldn't hurt? Well, that thought was certainly cleared from her mind on the first night she slept at the house - if you could call it sleeping. In fact, since she had begun to watch the house, she hadn't even had a single wink of sleep. She kept hearing noises, like someone crying out or whaling from the barn. She could only just imagine what was inside. Was it some sort of twisted creature created from lightning and pieces of dead people? Was there some sort of underground sex scandal going on within the barn? Or was he a murder and had one of his victims locked up within the barn? Or perhaps it was just haunted? To lighten herself up, she attempting to convince herself it was just the wind. It was an old barn and the wind was just howling through it. Still, she did not manage to get one wink of sleep. She felt like a child again, scared of monsters under her bed but this time they were in the barn. The only time she felt remotely comfortable was when the sun was out. But just as she was about to nod off into a long awaited slumber, she heard footsteps and her tired eyes shot open. Okay, this time she knew it was no wind. She jolted from her seat, driven mad by her exhaustion and moved quickly to the door. She could not stay in this house a moment later. Practically sprinting to the door, she snatched at the doorknob and pulled, yanking it open to see someone before her. She almost yelped at her surprise but contained herself, somehow, looking down at the young man fumbling at a pair if keys. Oh, she chimed. You must be his nephew. I'm Amber, I live next door down the way. I, um, watched the house for you. Her eyes had clearly been lacking sleep and her mentality struggled, even for her to keep proper manner. She was just overwhelmed with relief that he had arrived to take this burden away from her. I'd love to stay and chat but now that you're here, I have to go. But I'll be by sometime to check on you, I promise. If you need anything, I'm just down the road. Oh, and I don't know if your family members told you it was okay to now open the barn or if t was in the will or anything but if not, don't do it. That's all I know. Bye! Then she dashed off, not even letting him get a breath out to speak to her. She was just gone in a flash, her ginger hair whipping about behind her as she sprinted home before she passed out on the dirt road.
