*I have a story under the folder “Some scary-ish stories” called “Annabelle Lee’s origin story-The town of Richardson.” The title is something like that.Now,reading the comments has encouraged me to make more of Annabelle-Lee’s past.That’s what this is.You can connect this story to the other one.I have Gacha Club designs on my wall.Enjoy!

"This town is all that we have.Take care of it,Annabelle-Lee."

"But,why is this place important?"

"It's where I met your mother and when I first learned I could see the paranormal."

"So I'm not imagining seeing Mommy?"

"No,you are actually seeing her.I am too."

"Listen to me,Anna.There will be paranormal entities in here,but most of them aren't dangerous except one."

"Which one?"

"A demon that goes by the name of Lucas.Lucas Ladouceur."

"Why is he a demon?"

"Because he's the one who killed all the ghosts that live there and it's likely that he might come for us,too.But we have to be strong.I'm going to protect you,because I love you and you're my daughter.But one day,I won't be here anymore-"

"You'll become either a ghost or an angel,like Mommy.You won't ever leave me-"

"-We can't do much to protect you.Not if we're dead.So you'll have to protect yourself one day."

"But that day won't come in a long time."

Annabelle-Lee Richardson held on to that memory,grasped control of it.Saved it in her heart.

That conversation happened when she was seven.Her Dad was telling her the truth about the town they had moved in,the Town of Richardson.How they had to stay there until the ghosts were freed.

It was just her and her Dad after her Mom died.

Years ago,Leona and Amelia Richardson died in a fire,in the very house Annabelle-Lee was standing in.Many more murders came later and it all tied back to her family.It all started with her family.

Her very own mother was trying to communicate with a ghost and the ghost had feverishly tortured her.

Her Dad told her how her Mom died when she was thirteen.He witnessed the whole thing,they were both trying to communicate with the ghost,to test their powers.The ghost was haunting their old house and they wanted to know why.Her Dad said that she used to speak to the ghost when she was three.She didn't remember that,though.

Probably because she was three.

When she turned seventeen,her Dad was about to give her the job of mayor,since he was retiring and she always wanted to be the mayor of the town,but when he was going to meet her in the living room-

-A ceiling chandelier randomly fell on his head.She saw who caused it to fall,too.

A demon man in a ringmaster outfit.The demon man was the same ghost who had haunted her house.It appeared that the man followed her everywhere.

Could the demon man really be Lucas Ladouceur? He matched the description and actions that her father gave her..

No.That was impossible.There was no way he was..really him..

A car pulled up in the driveway.The new family that was moving in.

The Charlotte family.That’s who they were.

Annabelle-Lee smiled to herself.They were perfect! Two young girls..if these two young girls fell in the hands of Lucas..they could die..and replace Leona and Amelia who haunted the house...her family would be free of being the "scary family." No one would be afraid of her anymore!

She thought she saw her parents smile down at her as she stepped outside to greet the family,but maybe that was her imagination.
