Terror Visit

Chapter One: To Grandma’s House We Go:

Aiko looked out the window idle. She and her younger sister, Ayame were in the backseat of their parents’ car on their way to Grandma’s house in the country. Ayame loved the idea completely. Aiko on the other hand, wasn’t so keen on the idea. She wanted to spend summer at home on the computer and at the beach. But, her parents saw to that otherwise.

“But mom!” Aiko cried out. “Why do I have to go with Ayame to Gran’s?”

“She’s too young to go out in the country on her own,” her mother told her. “Your grandparents will be busy with the farm! So you’ll have to watch over her!” Aiko looked on in disappointed shock.

“What?!?” she cried. “So I have to baby-sit Ayame the whole time I’m there?!?”

“Please do it for me!” her mother pleaded. “Your father and I want to have our second honeymoon and your sister wants to see your grandparents so badly!”

“So please go with her,” her father said. “It’ll mean the world to her!” Aiko sighed aloud annoyed. She rolled her eyes to the sky.

“Fine!” she called. “I’ll go with her!” Her parents became overjoyed.

“Thanks Aiko!” her mother called. “I’ll buy you a new video game when you return home.” She hugged her daughter tightly. The fourteen-year-old girl rolled her eyes upwards to the ceiling of their living room. There it went again. Her parents had suckered her into during something she didn’t even want to do in the first place. This take Aiko got tricked into baby-sitting her little eight-year-old sister at Grandma’s while their parents were on their second honeymoon. Aiko sighed aloud again. “There goes most of my summer!” she thought. Why did this always happen to her?

So now, Aiko found herself in the back seat of the car trying to tune out her little sister with her IPod. Then, she felt someone poking her in the left shoulder. The older girl tried to ignore it at first. But, the poking wouldn’t stop. Aiko finally turned around annoyed. Ayame smiled at her in a cheerful way. Her older sister rolled her eyes at her as she took out her earphones.

“What do you want, Ayame?” she asked out loud. Her younger sister smiled at her and held up a game to her.

“Play!” she called. Aiko rolled her eyes.

“No,” she said.

“Play!” Ayame called again.

“No!” her older said louder.

“Play with me!” the little girl called again. “Play with me! Play! Play! Play!”

“No!” Aiko shouted at her. “Leave me alone!”

“Momma!” Ayame cried at her mom.

“Aiko-chan!” the mother called. “Just play with her for a little while!” The older girl rolled her eyes.

“Fine!” she grumbled. “But only one game!”

“Yay!” Ayame cried out. Aiko sighed and rolled her eyes. “Please kill me now!” she thought. The two girls kept playing games until Ayame got bored at long last. The little girl went to sleep leaning on her sister. Aiko tried to push her off, but Ayame proved to be deadweight sleeping. The fact that the little girl drooled in her sleep like right this second didn’t help either. The older girl cringed in disgust as her younger sister’s saliva started to hit her right arm. Aiko turned to her mother in distress.

“Mom!!!” she cried out. “She’s doing that nasty habit of hers again and I can’t get her up!”

“The wipes are under the set dear,” her mother replied. “Besides we’re almost there just two more kilometers to go!” Aiko whined out loud. That was too long in her mind.

“Why do I have to come too on this boring trip?!?” she cried out. “Couldn’t I at least bring my laptop with me?!?”

“Aiko-chan!” her father called. “Don’t be selfish, your grandmother hasn’t seen you in a long time. The least you could do is to give two weeks of your summer and life to her. We aren’t asking for much! Am I clear?” Aiko rolled her eyes and blew up her bangs in the air. Like she had a choice here at all.

“Fine,” she grumbled.

“Very good,” their father said to them. Aiko sighed aloud once again. “This is the trip from Hell!” the older girl thought. “Can this trip get any worse?” But soon, this long boring car ride to Grandma’s would be Heaven compared to the two weeks to follow behind.

The car pulled up to a decent-looking Japanese house. An old lady waited for them on the porch. She rushed out to greet them.

“My little angels!” she called out happily as the parents unloaded the girls’ things from the car.

“Grandma!” Aiko and Ayame called out happily as they ran over to her. (By now, Aiko was just happy to be out the car at long last.) The three of them all shared a big hug.

“Momma!” the girls’ mother called out in joy. The grandmother looked up over the girls.

“Ah, Michiko!” she called out. “It’s so nice of you to bring my girls here!”

“Yes,” the mother replied. “Now you have our number in case of emergency and we’ll be back on Sunday two weeks from now.”

“Okay,” the grandmother replied. Michiko turned back to her daughters.

“Be good girls!” she called out to them.

“Okay!” Aiko and Ayame said together.

“Aiko-chan,” the father spoke up. “We’re counting on you to take care of your sister. You hear? So do your best to keep her safe!” Aiko sighed out loud.

“Okay!” she called. The parents turned back to the grandmother.

“We’ll back soon, momma!” Michiko told her.

“Don’t worry about it!” the old woman called. “The angels will be fine! Just go on to your second honeymoon!” The parents bowed and got back into their car. Aiko, Ayame, and girlfriend watched as the car drove away. The grandmother turned to her two granddaughters.

“Shall we go inside?” she asked them. “You’re grandfather and I have made you a special lunch.”

“Yay!” Ayame called out. Aiko nodded with a little smile.

“Come on,” the grandmother said to them. Then, they all headed into the house. What they didn’t know was that a sadistic predator had stalked them the whole way. This visit would turn into a fight to survive.
