Endless Nights

When moving to a new town, you become curious, and with curiosity, your mind then runs wild. That is what I keep telling myself. My parents got separated last month, and my mother decided she wanted a change. she thought we would move to the middle of nowhere to a small town she grew up in before her and my father met in college. change is great, but when you're moving to the middle of nowhere, in a town called Witch's Creek, you kinda have second thoughts, am right? "Lilly, come on, we are going to have a late start. Let's get moving." Ok mom ill be right down. I'm just packing the last box!" I finished filling up the last box with all my book and photos of my friends with a huge smirk remembering us hang out by the big oak tree in my yard telling jokes and making fun of Jake's mullet hair cut which was completely hilarious. I closed up the box and put it on the floor in the hallway for the movers. I headed down the stairs to find my mom with her sunglasses on keys in hand and her pocketbook over her shoulder, ready to head out the door. I started following her out the door, and I turned around just to get one last look at my childhood home that I would not be coming back to again. so many emotions ran through me at the moment that I hesitate to close the door behind me. dam, new beginning and great old memories. I got into our car, and my mom started to head out. Lilly, when we get to Witch's Creek, we will be staying with your great aunt till I find the perfect house for us." Perfect house, huh? we had the perfect house. We are leaving it behind, I thought to myself. "Mom, what is Witch's Creek like? I mean, the name alone is kinda weird." My mother looked at me with her eyebrows raised. It is a normal town with a back story, just like any small town. The name of the town came from the founders of the town many years ago legend has it that their use to live a family at the end of the Creek in a mission who was cursed by a very powerful witch her name was Agatha Smit and the story if I remember correctly was the the Blackstone family who is the elite in the area kept slaves and they treated those of lower class or middle class beneath them an Agatha smit had a young daughter who was in love with Johnathan Blackstone the eldest son she was said to sneak onto the property just to look at Johnathan practice his fencing with his tutor. One night Agathas daughter got caught sneeking into the family home to put one of her mothers Pultus for love under his pillow, she was accused of witch craft an they hung her on there cherry blossom tree in there courtyard. When Agatha found her daughter missing from her bedroom she knew where she went an harried there to find her daughter swing from the cherry blossom tree the hurt and anguish she felt at losing her only daughter made her conjure up the most powerful spell to curse the Blackstone family from that day forth till the end of time. no one really knows what the curse was said to be but that they will live to remember the day they killed Molly Smit for all eternity. it is said that the Blackstone family still resides in the old Creek manor. No one really knows since no one has seen the Blackstone family since the 1800s. My mother shrugged her shoulder and didn't mention anymore details so I became curious like always and wanted to know more I pulled out my phone typing in the Blackstone sur name and nothing came up but Blackstone industry which was located in Duskwood falls an the CEO is Ethan Blackstone who is say is twenty eight years old no picture. just said that Blackstone is the eight generation to inherit the company. The former Blackstone who retired was Johnathan Blackstone, the fourth with no pictures of him either. the company deals with a lot of imports and exports, s its location is about four miles from Witch's Creek. the company had been around since 1809, and the founder of the company was Johnathan Blackstone. nothing is said more about that company. so I started to surching Ethen Blackstone only thing that comes up is the Blackstone industry. I looked over to my mother she looked like she was getting tired, so I decided maybe to start another conversation. " Hey mom, what is my aunt like?" she glanced over at me and smiled, "You're aunt is a wonderful woman she used to work for the Blackstone industry for many years until your uncle passed away." How did he pass, mom? Was it old age or something more serious, and how come we never went to a funeral? Lilly, your aunt went through a rough time when her husband passed. I am unsure of the cause of death my aunt never told me. I did want to go to the funeral, but your father refused to come along, and traveling with an infant was not safe, so I didn't go. i nodded my head in understand, my father was hard man to get to do anything he didn't want to do, but I really thought he loved my mother, I guess some things aren't meant to be. I hope when I find someone it doesn't end the same that would be horrible. I stayed away from dating and getting into serious relationships. I don't want to have my heart broken to then put it back together again. It seems like a lot of power we give the people we get into a relationship with. my mother turned to me Lilly this will be a great change, you can meet some new people make some new friends or even a find a guy? mom, stop it. I'm trying to get myself a job. I'm not worried about relationships. I laugh, and she is shaking her head. mom, i don't think my love like is lacking she looked at me. Love life? what love life Lilly you only ever hang out with your friends I have need seen you date someone. i shrugged my shoulder, dosent meant i hadn't gone on dates. she laughed, going out with your two best friends to clubin,moves,coffee shops dosent consist of dates. I laughed, you got me mom, I'm really not interested in dating. I guess you can say I'm waiting for the right guy. we both decided to stop talking and enjoy the drive. i looked out the wind in deep thought now about my personal no existing love life.
