A haunted dream home turned nightmare.
Haunted: Death's Domain


The Miller family was so excited. They had bought their first home. A place

to call their own. The family names from oldest to youngest is, Bill the father 45.Susan

the mother 39.Taylor the son 16.Megan the oldest daughter 15.Lastly Brittany the

baby girl 6.The whole family was looking forward to a change from the fast paced life

of California. Louisiana had an excellent reputation for its isolated areas. They found a

beautiful home on Swamp Road. The Miller family arrives at their new home on the

evening of March 3, 2011.Bill looked at the two story swamp house almost glowing

with sunlight peeping through the trees and said "Well everyone we're finally home.

The kids ran inside to claim their own little private space, and explore the house. Taylor

wanted to go up in the attic he'd always wanted an attic room. Once up in the attic

Taylor glanced around. The attic was fixed up as if it had a previous owner before him.

Megan chose the room off the kitchen she thought to herself "Midnight snacks within

arm's reach, score."Brittany got the room right down from the master bedroom. Brittany

went into her new room she couldn't wait to make it her own. Night fell on the little swamp house

like a blanket. Everyone was in their rooms adorning them and adjusting the space to their

comfort, when they heard a loud thump outside the front door. Bill and Susan reached the front

door first then Megan then Taylor. Bill opened the door than a rush of air went through them all. They

all shivered, but no one was out there. A thump then broke the eerie silence and a scream pierced

the air. Everyone ran to Brittany's room Bill came after locking the front door. Brittany was lying on

the floor with a little blood on the side of her head. Susan asked Brittany "Honey what happened?"

Brittany replied "Someone pushed me out of the bed."Bill replied "Oh Brittany dear you just had a

dream and fell out the bed that's all. Susan sent Taylor to get the first aid kit. Susan was cuddling

Brittany while waiting for the kit, Taylor returned with the kit. Susan began wiping the blood stained

area waiting to see the source of the blood, but found no cut. Susan asked "Brittany dear where

did the blood come from?"Brittany looked up at Susan and replied "Death touched me."Susan

instantly got goose bumps all over. Susan replied Honey that was just a dream. Maybe it was a

tiny scratch that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Go to sleep tomorrow you get to meet new

kids at your new school. Susan tucks Brittany in and goes back to her room where Bill is reading in

bed. Susan takes off her robe and lies down. Susan tells Bill what occurred in Brittany's room. Bill

replied "I'm sure it's nothing dear. Go to sleep."Bill turns off the lamp and goes to sleep. The next

morning Susan opens her eyes she feels strange and she sees Brittany standing in the door smiling at

her. Susan says "Brittany hon. come here. What's wrong?"Brittany turns and runs back in her

room. Susan gets up and walks to Brittany's room. No one is in there. Susan goes to the kitchen

where she sees Brittany sitting at the table eating her breakfast. Taylor and Megan are on their

way out to school. Bill kisses Susan and calls to Brittany "Come on Brit you are going to be late."

Susan kisses Brittany and says "Have fun dear."To Bill Susan says "See you later honey."Susan finds

herself alone in the house. She thinks to herself "Maybe I was just seeing things I mean I had just

woken up."Susan goes through the kids rooms tidying up. First Taylor's then Megan's finally Susan

reaches Brittany's room. When she enters she feels as though she is being watched. She makes the

bed. Than finds a picture under the pillow. Susan takes it and when she sees the full picture she gasps

and covers her mouth with one hand. She goes to her room with the picture and sits on the edge of

the bed. The drawing has an image of the grim reaper standing over 5 dead people. A terrible stench fills the air as she is looking at the picture. Susan coughs from the odor and opens

the bedroom window. When Susan looks out the window she sees Brittany standing between two

big trees staring at her with a look of pure evil. Susan runs outside to where she saw Brittany, and

when she reaches the area Brittany is nowhere to be found. Susan rushes to call the phone to ask Bill

"Did you make sure Brittany went into the school?"Bill replied "I walked her in myself. Why is

something wrong?"Susan replies "I just wanted to be sure."They hang up. Susan begins fixing food for

dinner for when the family gets home. Susan hears the front door open. She assumes the oldest kids

made it home. Susan yells "Megan come help me in the kitchen."Susan doesn't hear the door

close. Susan leaves the carrots and potatoes she was cutting up on the counter to see what's going on.

Susan sees the front door open, but she doesn't see Taylor or Megan. Instead she sees Brittany.

The hair rises on the back of Susan's neck as she is staring in the eyeless sockets of this thing standing

outside of her front door. The thing that looks like her daughter has an evil smirk on it's face. Susan

wants so desperately to close the door, but she is froze in place. The thing points toward the kitchen,

and Susan turns around to see all her food dumped on the floor. Susan turns her head back toward

the door. The thing is gone. Just then Bill and the kids enter the house. Bill sees Susan standing

between the kitchen and living room with a puddle on the floor beneath her feet and a stream of

liquid down her leg. Bill runs over to Susan and asks "Honey what happened?"Susan starts sobbing

uncontrollably. The kids all gather around to see what's going on. Brittany walks over holds Susan's

hand and says "You've seen death."Susan looks at Brittany and starts attacking her. Bill grabs Susan and

restrains her. When Bill finally gets her calm, Bill asks "What the hell is wrong with you? Why would

you attack Brittany like that?"Susan replies "She's the devil coming to kill us all."Bill replied "You

aren't making any sense. Our little girl is the devil, and wants to kill us. He threatens her I'm committing you."Susan

screams "No Bill please don't."Bill says "Then tell me what's going on."Susan starts telling Bill what

had been going on since their first night there. Bill is looking at Susan in disbelief. Bill tells Susan

maybe you need to get out for some fresh air. Bill talks to the kids and comforts Brittany, telling her

"It's not your fault dear. Mommy is just really stressed. She loves you very much. Okay baby?"

Brittany replies sobbingly "Okay daddy I understand."Bill tells the kids "Me and your mom are

going to dinner. Call us if you guys have any problems. Susan and Bill get ready for their date.

Bill is ready to go. Susan grabs her scarf and walks to the front door. Bill is waiting by the car for her.

Susan walks onto the porch when she suddenly is pushed back inside violently and starts gasping

for air. Bill sees Susan on the floor and runs over to her. Bill pulls Susan upward and yells "Taylor

call the ambulance. Quick!"Taylor runs to the phone when he presses the 9 and the 1 the phone wire

is yanked out by an unseen force. Taylor's eyes widened as the phone is ripped

from his hand and smashed into pieces on the cement wall. Taylor ran to his dad and said "Dad

something broke the phone. Bill replied "What do you mean something broke the phone?"

Get my cell phone and call. Megan ran to her parent's room. Megan picked up the cell phone

It was dead. Megan grabbed the charger wire to plug it in when she noticed out of the corner

Of her eye Brittany standing by the room door. Megan asked "Brittany come plug this charger

up for me. Brittany opened her mouth and 3 voices came out saying different things. The first

voice was deep and demonic it kept repeating death, death, death. The second voice was high pitched,

and repeating let her die let her die. The third voice was chanting then the lights started flickering

throughout the house. The windows started opening and shutting repeatedly. Slamming with

extreme force. Megan fainted and dropped the phone and charger. Still sprawled by Susan's side

Bill shouts "Has anyone called the ambulance yet?"Brittany walks into the living room,

and goes by Susan. Susan sees Brittany and starts convulsing. Bill screams "Susan Susan What is

wrong honey?"Brittany looks at Bill and opens her mouth then flys and maggots start coming out

of her mouth. Bill vomits as a heavy stench fills the air. Just than Brittany walks into the room with

a knife in her hand. Bill looks over at Brittany and asks "Why do you have that knife honey? Put the

knife down."Bill glances back over toward Susan and instead of his daughter by Susan he now

sees a tall black shadow with a robe on the hood reveals red glowing eyes from underneath.

Brittany's hands go up with the knife. The knife looks almost ancient. A knife the family had never seen before. Taylor

Sees Brittany heading over to Susan and jumps at her to stop her, but the demon raises it's hand

toward Taylor. Just as Taylor is slung across the room hard against the wall Megan walks in to see

Taylors leg broken in half by the force of the demon's strength. Megan tries to jump on Brittany

to stop her, on her way to Brittany the demon looks at her. Megan pauses. The demon starts chanting

The family feels a horrifying feeling arise in the air. The house begins to feel like a deep freezer.

The sun rises and shines through the window. The demon disappears. Brittany shakes her head, and

drops the knife. Bill grabs Taylor and carries him to the sofa, where he wraps his shirt around

Taylor's leg, to stop the bleeding. Megan grabbed Brittany and both of them stooped by Susan

Susan came to, and attacked Brittany. Bill ran over and managed to hold Susan. Susan was screaming

hysterically "She's the devil. She wants to kill us, kill us all. Bill told Megan "Take Brittany to the car

I'll bring Taylor and your mother. We're getting out of here."Bill went over to Taylor picked him up, and carried him to the car.

Bill made sure the kids were all safe in the car. Bill had just turned his head back toward the house,

when he saw Brittany going through the front door. Bill looked back into the car, and saw his

daughter Brittany in there safe with the others. Bill ran toward the front door, which was wide open.

When he got to the front door he gazed in horror. He saw Susan standing in the middle of the living

room with her back bent backwards and touching her legs. Her face revealed an unimaginable amount

of pain and anguish. Her mouth was inhumanly stretched wide. The demon that appeared as their

daughter Brittany was up in the corner with its legs and arms on the ceiling and wall. Its back was facing

the floor, and the head was turned backwards facing Susan. The demon was smiling wickedly. Bill

ran over to Susan to try to get her straight. Tears gushed out of Susan's eyes as Bill pulled on her.

The demon started laughing menacingly. Bill turned to the demon, and screamed "Let her go.

Leave her alone Now."The demon jumped down and crawled out of the living room and into

the kitchen like a spider. Susan went back straight. Bill pulled Susan to take her out of the house.

On their way out the demon appeared in front of them. The demon put forth its hands and pushed

Susan back into the house against the wall, Bill heard a cracking sound. Susan's back was broken.

The kids saw everything that happened on the porch. They were scared. Bill ran over to pick

Susan up! As he was cuddling Susan the demon grabbed Susan by the leg and slung her across

the room. Susan started coughing up blood. Bill knew if he didn't get Susan to the hospital soon

she would die. The demon was bent down by Susan, with his hands ready to turn her neck. Just than

Brittany appeared and said "Mommy I love you."The demon stopped and looked at her than disappeared. Bill took Susan out of the house, and to the hospital. She recovered. The family is happy back in their hometown of California.
