After the incident with Jennifer and Cindy, Michael and his family moved out of the house. 3 years have passed now and Cindy still wears her amulet. Michael bought a new house in the suburbs with a big garden. The house is surrounded by a safe neighborhood. Across the street live the Lintons, who are a nice family. Jennifer became friends with Lindsay, Robert Linton’s wife. They have a girl and a boy, who spend a lot of time with Michael’s daughters. On the right there lives an old couple...Mr. and Mrs. Dillinger. The house on the left to the Murrays was empty; it was for sale and waiting for someone to buy it.

The empty house next to them is not really empty, but an old man named Noah still lives in there, a man who is still trying to bring his wife back to the world.

Chapter 1—The Empty House

See, now you look like a princess, Cindy. the little girl exclaimed with a sinister smile. The other girl on the other hand was still working on Cindy’s dress. She stapled a pink ribbon at the back of her frock and tied a big fancy knot in it. No Silly, she will be a Queen, not princess. she scolded the little one as she looked in the mirror to gaze into Cindy’s terrified eyes.

But then he shifted his focus back to where it was needed the most at the time. He kissed Cindy’s head, It was just a dream, pumpkin. A bad dream. That’s all.

— "Was it the dream again?"

As Jennifer and Michael turn back, they saw Kate and Diane staring at him. The girls had a familiar sense of fear on their faces, as if this horrible ordeal was a routine for them. You wanna sleep with Mommy and Daddy tonight, pumpkin? Michael asked Cindy, to which, she just nodded very slowly.

Alright then, off we go. in an attempt to behave normally, Michael picked Cindy up in his big arms and raised her a little over his head as if he was playing with
