In Mr and Mrs Sinclair's room there was a shadow. The lights were also switched off. The moon was brightening the room.
"Hmmm mmm hmmmm." There was also humming.
Mrs Sinclair stirred in her sleep. The humming kept on getting louder till the couple woke up frightened.
"Hahhaha." Suddenly there was laughter. Mrs Sinclair was scared to death.
She moved closer to her husband who switched on the lamp but the room was empty. They heard the water running in the bathroom.
"What is going one? I'm scared." Mrs Sinclair said as she was glued to her husband.
"Let me check it out." Mr Sinclair said as he stood up to check the problem. Mrs Sinclair clinged to him and decided to go with him.
She was shaking as they reached the bathroom. The tap was running. They turned it off and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go to bed" Mr Sinclair said as they returned the room.
Mrs Sinclair suddenly screamed and her husband looked at her wondering what scared his wife.
Mrs Sinclair was pointing somewhere eyes wide full of horror.
The mirror was dripping red. It was written something on the mirror.
"RUN!" It was written in blood.
They couple both screamed loudly. They rushed out of the room and almost tripped on their own feet.
They reached the living room and started calling everyone. Mrs Sinclair's face was covered in sweat. Her hair was sticking to her face. Lips quivering.
Everyone came down stairs wondering what the commission is all about. Scarlett did not come downstairs. Diana came downstairs in a robe. Her face sweaty and her neck filled with hickeys. Her hair was disheveled.
"What's wrong? Mom it's in the middle of night." Diana said with an irritated look. She was exhausted after her session with Alexander.
Alexander was behind her. Elizabeth was yawning.
"T-there was s-someone in our room. There is blood on the mirror i-t's scary. " Mrs Sinclair said shivering.
"What are you talk about?" Elizabeth asked with an irritated expression.
"Someone was humming in our room. There was blood on the mirror and the tap was running without anyone opening it. " Mr Sinclair responded.
"Maybe you are just exhausted. You need rest." Alexander added.
"Yes mom go to sleep." Diana said already irritated.
"Aunty maybe it was just a dream okay." Bella added.
"No. You all come to our room and see." Mrs Sinclair said as she rushed towards the stairs and everyone followed behind her.
"See there it is." She said pointing at the mirror.
"There is what?" Alexander asked.
Mrs Sinclair looked at the mirror her eyes widened as she looked at the clean mirror. No trace of blood just her reflection there.
"No, she is not lying. It was written Run on the mirror." Mr Sinclair said.
"I'm going to bed." Isla said dragging Elizabeth with her. Bella turned to leave. Alexander also left.
"Mom, dad maybe you all had a nightmare. Just get more sleep. Just rest." Diana said already wanting to go to bed.
"We are not crazy Diana. We know what we saw." Mr Sinclair said as Diana sighed.
"Okay fine. Just get some rest. It's all two o'clock. I'm already exhausted." Diana said and left.
Mrs Sinclair was still shivering. She was so scared. She sat on the bed as her husband did the same.
"Let's try to get some sleep. Maybe we were imagining things okay." Mr Sinclair said as the wife nodded.
They settled on their bed but sleep was far away. They just want to leave so that they can be safe at their home.
Their never thought their first experience in the Harrison Mansion will be like this.

Diana returned to her room and saw Alexander typing away on his phone. She smiled and sat on his lap. The man stiffened.
"I have work. I will be in my study." Alexander said as he pushed Diana off his lap. Diana frowned but did not mind it.
"Okay be back soon." Dian said as Alexander left the room.
"Wow. I have to show off these hickeys in the morning. Poor Scarlett will not know what hit her." Diana said and started laughing.
...
While everyone was asleep Alexander was in his study. He was watching something on his laptop while laughing non stop.
"Damn." He said and started laughing again. His door creaked open as Scarlett entered inside in a black night gown.
Alexander stood up and led her to the couch. Scarlett's hand was so small in his own. Alexander's always find it cute how Scarlett is short.
Whenever he holds her small hand he always awed at it.
"It's late. Why are you here?" Scarlett asked as Alexander sat besides her.
"Not sleepy." Alexander responded as he drew circles on Scarlett's baby bump. The baby kicked.
"Ow." Scarlett said as Alexander rubbed her bump with a smile.
"So you and Diana." Scarlett said as Alexander smirked and whispered something in her ear. Scarlett smirked and held his hand.
Scarlett caress his jaw. Her eyes were soft so was Alexander's eyes.
"I can't wait for you to give birth. It will be the happiest day of my life." Alexander said softly.
"I know. I can't wait also. " Scarlett responded with a smile— a real one.
"You have been through a lot. Most of it because of me but you stayed with me. Scarlett, I don't know what I did in my previous life to have you. " Alexander said.
"Just promise you won't leave me." Scarlett said as Alexander nodded and kiss her palm.
"I promise you with my life. I will never leave you." Alexander responded.
"You met Zed." Alexander added as the atmosphere changed. Scarlett stiffened.
"At the mall. He stopped me but we did not talk much. I just asked him to stay away from me." Scarlett responded.
"If I ever see him near you again. He will not like what I will do. I will make sure he disappears." Alexander said darkly.
"I know." Alexander smiled satisfied and kissed Scarlett.
