    This is a story about Lana.A small,10 year old orphan who lives with her grandmother Lucy in Germany.She once had a family,a brother and a sister as well as her parents,Mellisa and Derek.When she was 8,she was always left at home.Alone.Her parents were at work,her brother at the hockey training,and her sister was at her friend's house to study.Every day,for the rest of the year.But one day,something happened.After that year,Mellisa and Derek wouldn't leave Lana alone,because of the risk they have carried.One dark night,while her 17 year old brother,Mark,was returning home from his training with his friend,some of his classmates from his school,dared him to go into a house in the woods.No one has ever dared to go in there,because the last resident found out that the house was infested with spirits from the beyond.In plain English,it was haunted.Nobody knew what were those spirits,but no one,I mean,no one has entered in that house for the past 32 years.He took the challenge and went inside with his friend,only to prove that they are not cowards.Only one has escaped,but that wasn't Mark.It was his friend Tom,that bearly escaped though the back.One of his classmates asked what happened,but then,without warning,a sudden scream came from the house.It was Mark.He was stuck in there,with no way out. It lasted for 10 seconds,and after that...nothing,The screaming stopped and Mark's classmates,including Tom,ran off.Tom went to Mark's residence to tell his parents that he...is dead.After Mellisa and derek heard about it,they had no other choice.They had to stay and protect Lana and Ann,for their sakes.Who knew what was in that house,but it was really bad.The next morning,it was all over the news.They thought that Mark was missing,hoping to be okay,but he was not.He passed away...in that house...for no reason at all.Mellisa was crying,Derek hugged Mellisa and tried to comfort her.Lana,was feeling sad,and Ann couldn't stop complaining.
    One night,after Mark's death,little Lana had a dream.In that dream,she saw Mark,her brother.She was happy to see him,but then,when she tried to hug him,he disappeared.The next morning,she was barely awake while having breakfast.She told her mom and dad that she saw her brother in her dreams.Mellisa and Derek didn't believe with their eyes.Could it be?The next night,Lana had an nightmare.But in this one,her brother was in there.And she saw that house he was in.He took her inside to see what it really was there.It was dark...very dark...she could barely see a thing.But then she saw a bright light.She didn't want to let go of her brother.She held his hand and squeezed it really hard.The poor girl was frightened.But at the end of the tunnel stream,she saw a little girl.And in front of her were 2 tombstones.The tombstones of her mother and her father.She stood up,and kept looking at the tombstones.Lana was confused.
    "Who are you?",she asked.With a nervous look,the little girl looked at Lana with a scary complection.She had the same look as Lana,but her face was pale green.Her eyer were dark red with cat-like pupils,and she was bleeding from the sides,as the blood was dripping from her mouth.She growld,and Lana started to scream.She screamed so hard,that everything around her started to crack and then turn into ashes.Her brother disappeared,again,and the little girl smiled.Then,Lana woke up.It was 3 in the morning and she started to cry.But then,without warning,the spirit of her brother showed up in front of her eyes.At first she was frightened,but he comforted her.
    "Do not be afraid,Lana",he said,"it's me,Mark." Lana couldn't believe with her eyes.It was really him.It was really her brother,Mark.As she could feel that he hugged herHe was warm.She was happy to see him."Listen,Lana",he said,"there is no time to waste,I must be brief.That little girl you saw in your dream right now...I came to warn you...she will kill you,as she killed me.You have to ask the Dream Oracle for help.Only he knows how to stop this madness,once and for all.Please believe me,since we don't have much time.That girl could go on a killing rampage if we don't stop her...I believe in you,Lana.May God be with you." Then he disappeared.He had a point.Lana had to destry that girl once and for all,but first,she has to see who exactly is that girl.The next day,it went from bad to worse.It looks like the nightmare has begun.Her 15 year old sister,Ann,has died in a car chase accident gone wrong.The cause of it was those people who were making a car chase movie,and while Ann was walking down the sidewalk,her cellphone rang.She didn't know who it was,but she heard a low tone saying:"You will die now,Ann!Hahahahahahahahahaha..." Ann didn't believe that,and all of a sudden,the driver lost control over the wheels,and while Ann was passing the pedestrian way,she looked to the right and saw the car.The driver couldn't stop,and accidentally hit her.She was wounded real badly and while Lana was shopping with her mother,she saw Ann,lying on the ground,crying as her fate had gone away from her.Lana ran towards her,and started crying.Ann said something before dying:"The...girl..*cough*...it was...that girl...she had the same voice...as you...*cough*...please...avenge me..."
    Lana had the first experience seeing someone's death.Ann was dead,and Lana lost all of her faith.She had no one to talk to.She was sad and lonely.She knew what it has to be done.A year has passed after Ann's death,and they sent Lana away for her safety.They sent her to Germany,at her grandma's.It was a long time,since Lana saw grandma Lucy.She loved her cooking.She was an culinary chef and she's only 58 years old,and Grandma Lucy loved her favorite granddaughter Lana.Then one night,she had to go and see the Dream Oracle.As she was walking,she saw her brother,and this time,she saw her sister.They took her to see the Dream Oracle.Once there,she couldn't believe her eyes.The Dream Oracle was so beautiful.It was actually a beautiful woman.With beautiful blonde hair,her eyes were the colors of the sky and the sea combined,her lips were pink,and her aura was pure light."Wow.You look so beautiful," Lana said,"*ahem* I need your help....you see..."
    "My dear Lana.I know what you have been through.I'm sorry for the loss of you brother and your sister,But first thing's first,we have to stop this little girl from killing your parents."The Dream Oracle said with an soft voice."I can help you in this one,but you have to trust me.Your aura has to be pure white,like mine,and you will be granted a gift."
    Lana said:"My lust for revenge is honorable.I must avenge the loss of my brother and my sister,in an honorable way."
    "It has been done." The Dream Oracle said,pulling out a certain gift from 'The Chest of Light.' "This is 'The Arrow of Faith'.Use it,by plunging deep into the little girl's evil heart and free her spirit for ever more."The Dream Oracle finished her sentence,gave her the bow and the arrow and vanished in thick layer of light.As she ventured down to the 'Nightmare Region' she saw the little girl again.She was smiling like last time."You are too late,child," the little girl said,"I have recently killed you parents as well.Now you will understand my pain and sorrow."
    "No," Lana said,"You are the one who needs to be taught a lesson.Goodbye,little girl.I hope that we will never see each other again."As those final words marked the final faith in Lana,she has pulled 'The Arrow of Faith' from the bow and the arrow plunged deep into the girl's chest.She screamed in pain and sorrow,as she started to disappear,turning into ashes.Lana started crying,as she felt like it.She was sad.Who's going to love Lana for who she is?
    The Dream Oracle showed up,and comforted her."Do not cry,my child." the Dream Oracle said with an very soft voice,comforting Lana."You have your grandma,and she loves you.let us hope that one day,we will cross paths once more."
    Lana smiled and thanked the Dream Oracle.Then,Lana woke up,and she saw her grandma,with a terrible news.her parents have passed away in a fire.Nobody knows how did that happen,but they couldn't manage to save them.Once again,Lana was sad,but she hugged her grandma and smiled."I know that my family is out there,on the other side." Lana said."I hope that I will one day see them.On the other side.But for now,Rest in Peace:My mother,Mellisa,my father,Derek,my sister,Ann,and you too,my favorite brother,Mark.Hope to see you on the other side soon."

    And Lana,and her grandma,Lucy lived happily ever after.Until death does them apart.

    The End
