In 1916, a girl named Myra
Maynard lived in this house in Ithaca. She was my
great-grandmother's sister. And now after a fire killed my
parents, I've inherited it. It's my house now. So today
just after I move in some guy named Payson Alden III, who
calls himself a parapsychologist, calls me out of nowhere
on my cell and says In 1915, her sister, at midnight on the
evening before her 18th birthday, walked in her sleep.
They found Elizabeth at the foot of the stairs, he said,
lying in a pool of her own blood.
He said their father had some
connection some kind of cult or something called the Black
Order. He thought this Black Order was responsible for
killing Elizabeth. By magic, yet. Yeah, right. Because they
wanted their souls. And they take souls on the eve of
someone's eighteenth birthday. So I should be careful. He
says they tried to get my great-grandmother too, in 1916,
but she escaped them. So instead of her they took a lady
who had played her in a silent movie later that year and
replaced her with some kind of a demonic lookalike. Then
later they said she died of cancer. And then he says now
that there are signs that this Black Order have returned
again after all these years. I told the guy to leave me
alone and not call me any more. That my great-grandmother
never had any sisters and my family was none of his
business.
But I looked the lady, the actress he talked about, up on
the internet. He was right. She was in a silent movie playing my grandmother.
She did have a double that someone exposed.
And die when she was only 28. And another character in the
old movie . . . a paranormal investigator . . . was
named . . . Payson Alden.
Then tonight when I'm going through a drawer full of my
great-grandmother's old stuff, I find this on some kind of
pin.
Call me psychic if you want, other people have -- but I
have this feeling it's not something great-grandpa brought
home from church on Sunday.
I walked in my sleep tonight too. And I never have before.
Now it's 2010, and I'm about to turn eighteen.. My birthday
is tomorrow. What am I supposed to do now? Just sit here
and wait?
I'll tell you one thing. I'm not going to sleep. No way.
Can't anyone help me? I don't want to die.
