The First Diary was... (Part2)

I decided to clean the room that she messed up. When I'm about to face the door and went inside. Some cold air blew my left ear. I stepped backwards when I face the door, there's a face that made me shock. It’s my twin brother's girlfriend, her face was very close into my face. She's smiling at me. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing." she replied then vanished.

I was stock like a statue after she replied nothing. I'm not dreaming, I can see and talk to a ghost? I blink my eyes; I can't believe that I'm talking to a ghost, a beautiful ghost though.

I went up the stairs and clean the disaster looked of my old room. It’s already two in the morning when I'm about to finish organizing things that was messed up when I saw an unfamiliar note, I never seen it before. The note was just a regular paper and has a letters written on it. It has two words and eight letters. I know it was the hand written of my twin brother. I put it on my pocket and continue organizing things.

After thirty minutes when I finished the whole room I stepped downstairs and sat third stair before the ground. I looked at my phone and smiled. I recorded the whole thing the moment I heard something at the back door of our house.

I decided to rest. Before I open the door of my room, I noticed that the doorknob of my room tried to open by forced. I had an idea and if ever she will come back inside our house, everything will be confusing. That early morning, I called my boss and said I can't work, I'll just pass the things he wants me to pass and if I had the chance, I'll go at his office to report.

I open one of the closed rooms upstairs and clean it. I'll occupy that room for my safety, that room was the second to the largest, it has comfort room, three bookshelves and one secret shelf. My nephew and I can share. One bed covered with a white blanket. I decided to clean it quietly early in the morning. After cleaning, mapping and wiping all the dirt and dust, I started to get all the two diaries inside my room and I placed it to the secret bookshelf and locked it. I also place all the books in the bookshelves and last was the bed that I'm using. After I finish cleaning my new room, I sat down on the floor and rest. I pick up the note on my pocket and try to understand it.

"Two words and eight letters." I whispered. "First clue: On its first word it has a small letter T on the last part and on its second word it has a small letter E on the fourth place. If you get the two words, you'll get the eight letters. Second clue, it’s a name of a person." as I read it I'm solving it in my mind.

I remember the childhood days of my twin brother and I, we really like puzzling. He likes solving crossword that I hate the most while I like solving Sudoku that he never dared to solve. He’s giving me difficulties on this puzzle, what are the two words that connects in eight letters? It’s already six in the morning when I decided to take a bath. While taking a shower, I'm still solving that in my mind. After taking bath, I cooked some food for us to eat. I called my nephew's grannies and told them I'll pick him up. I locked all of the windows and doors, I activate the hidden cameras of the whole house and connect it on my phone so I can monitor the house. After picking up my nephew, we went to a fast-food chain and we eat there. We takeout foods there visit my mom at the pharmacy and give her the other plastic of the one we take-out. We also visit my dad at the hospital; give him clothes and the other plastic we ordered at the fast-food chain. After the entire visit we made, we went to a mall and I bought him new educational toys, clothes, shoes and bed sheets. We also bought ingredients for our baking activity later. We also bought new doorknobs and padlocks, so I can change all the locks over the house.

Finally, we're home! My nephew went to the mini house I made for him to play. When I'm about to open the door, I heard my nephew screamed. I look at him at the window of the mini house, I saw his eyes wide open, when he saw me, and he immediately goes outside and hugged me. My eyes began to open wider when I saw his mother under the mini house. "What are you doing there?" I subconsciously asked.

She just smiled and vanished. I looked at my nephew; he looked at me with his eyes wide open. I laughed and then hold his hand.After organizing and keeping all the things we bought, we change all the doorknobs all over the house, the locks of the window and even the security code of the house. I also plant a hidden camera inside all of the rooms including the rooms that wasn't used. After we washed are hands we went to the baking kitchen and prepare the ingredients and tools that we needed to bake. We wore the baking gear that my mom made for us. Funny thing, because I do wore that just because my nephew wants me to wear it. I know, my parents are laughing right now because their phones also connected on the cameras I planted all over the house. We heard the two engines of my parents’ cars; they straightly stepped towards the baking kitchen while laughing. They are laughing because of what I wear. I sigh and continue what I am doing. When were done baking, we went inside the house to the kitchen. "Mom, dad, the cookies and muffins are ready!" I shouted but they didn't replied. Usually, they'll reply. I sensed something wrong, I whispered unto my nephew that we'll play, I get my handkerchief and cover his eyes using the handkerchief, I also get my phone and earphone from my pocket and I let my nephew listen to all the music, I made it more louder so he won't hear anything while I carry him.

I searched my parents all over the house but I didn't saw them, my heart is now beating faster, I can't help but to think that something wrong happened. I looked at my phone while my nephew is listening on a random music, I searched and searched but I can't see anything until I saw shadows at the stone benches at the huge garden on the monitor of my phone. My heart beat faster. I rushed in there, I look around my eyes begun to open wider as my heartbeats faster that I can feel it pumping and I can hear it clearly.

"Uncle, why is your heart is beating faster?" my nephew asked while his trying to remove his blindfold and the earphone in his ear.

"Nothing, don't remove your blindfold and the earphone yet." I whispered on his left ear. We hid under the huge tree. I lower the light of my phone and put it on my nephew's pocket. I lift the right earphone. "Don't remove your blindfold and the earphone yet not until I said. Okay?" I whispered. After I saw him nod, I covered him with my black apron then slowly get out there.

I came back where I saw shadows. It was three, and I'm not dreaming that the third shadow was my twin brother's best friend. When I saw her with my parents sitting at the stone chair, I was behind them. I called her attention. She looked at me and smiled. "How did you get in?" I asked.

She smiled. "I don't know, all I know is that I'm not invited. Come, come, and sit down here."

I stepped forward. I saw my parents were tie up using a rope and their mouths are tied up with a package tape. They are signing in their eyes but I can't understand it. My mom rolled her eyes a plenty times while my dad blinked and winked. I saw those signs before when my twin brother and I are in danger.

My eyes begun wider, we are in danger! It’s too late for me to move and save ourselves. I observed her movements, it’s not usual. She sat on my lap. "Let me kiss you." she whispered.

"Are you pathetic?" I asked with sarcasm in my voice.

She stands up, pointed a gun in my mom's head. "If I can't kiss you then, maybe I'll just let your mother's head explode like a bomb!"

"You can't do that, you know what the consequences is when you pull the trigger." I said.
