AUTHOR'S NOTE

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters in this story except the storyline itself.

Hi guys. This is the first fanfic written by me and also my first attempt at writing a horror story. I've read lots of horror novels that really gave me the chills and here I am hoping you get at least a little scare from my story. This is my first fanfic so please go easy on me. Give me your comments please. Libel and rude remarks and are not welcome, but apparently, am liable to get them so feel free to tell me how you feel about my story.

Well this story focuses on the Uchiha family being haunted, maybe or maybe not (am not sure myself but let's keep reading to know how it turns out). Well, i was thinking of making it a Sakusara novel but we'll see about that.

I got my inspiration from Anabelle the movie because I could see a Sakusara possibility in there but rest assured, it is not a spoiler for you guys that have not watched the movie and the movie isn't a spoiler to you guys that are yet to read my story. I did not really watch the movie though, I got the storyline from my brother and also read it from the net. I read horror novel and hardly watch them.

I hope you enjoy it. Comment and vote please. I don't have much friends, but that can change over time.

May the reading begin!!

Toodles...

PROLOGUE

What a stressful day it had been! the pregnant woman that was expecting the arrival of her baby girl, hopefully in the next four months, exclaimed. Her mentor and family doctor, Dr. Tsunade, had said that the baby was due early April.

She laid on the bed that she shared with her husband, thinking about the baby shower that had ended an hour ago. Lots of people had visited and brought gifts for the unborn baby. It had been fun, of course. All the items brought; toys, clothes, shoes and other babycare stuffs, where placed in the nursery. All that was left was the arrival of the rightful owner of the room.

The fun and merriment eventually came to an end and the couples decided to chase everyone to their respective houses. She was now currently on her bed, waiting for her husband who was taking his shower. And all this waiting was making her hungry.

The sound of the running shower died down, indicating that her husband had finished his task of getting cleaned up. She climbed down the bed and the door to the bathroom opened almost immediately.

"What's wrong?"came the worried voice of her husband. Sakura looked at him, "Am hungry. I think I'll go eat the remaining dumplings in the fridge."

She went out of the room and made her way to the kitchen. The penthouse that they lived in, already dark and chilly because they had locked up for the night, was luxurious and offered a great view of Konoha, but she had no time to dwell on that again because she had always been enthralled at the magnificent view of this country at night.

She opened the fridge, took out the leftover dumplings and made no efforts to reheat it. She wasn't always a fan of hot meals and the dumplings wasn't all that cold either, so she started eating and made her way to the sitting room to enjoy the view while she was at it.

When she was done, she washed her plates, switched off the lights and went upstairs.

She was about to open the door to her room when she noticed something amiss. She looked and wondered, 'didn't I lock that door?' If there was something Sakura Uchiha was undoubtedly sure of, it was the fact that she was and always is an organised person with a photographic memory. She had in fact locked that door.

The door to Sarada's room was standing ajar and something that seemed like a transient bright light beamed in the room, reflecting very faintly in the hallway.

Goose pimples pricked her skin and she was of the mind to either enter her room and go to sleep or get her husband to confirm if she was really seeing what she was seeing and not hallucinating.

But her body seemed to have disobeyed her brain or mind and carried itself to the room at the end of the hallway. Very slowly, she took steady steps towards the room. Walking with caution as if she was approaching an untamed wild animal.

Before her brain could give a proper command, her right hand with a mind of its own, held the doorknob and pulled the door very slowly. She peered into the room, not knowing what to do, and saw that the light was actually reflecting from outside the penthouse. 'But the whole of Konoha is downhill from here and no other tall building laid beside this one' she thought.

Just then, somebody or something had placed its hand on her shoulders, derailing her thoughts. Startled, she jumped and yelped immediately.

"Hey calm down, its me." She recognised the voice instantly and turned around. "Why did you do that? You scared Sarada and I to death" his wife answered, holding a hand to her chest to control her breathing. She could literally feel her heart pumping a hundred times per second.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. The both of you. I saw you walk in here and I called you but I didn't know that your mind was elsewhere" Sasuke explained as he patted her on the shoulder. "What are you doing here?" When he did not get an answer, he sighed. "Come on, let's get you to bed. All the excitement today must have really tired you out."

With that said, he beckoned her to their room and closed the door to the nursery behind them. She spared one last glance at the door before entering their bedroom.

Everything seemed fine but she did not fail to notice that ominous feeling that washed over her, the minute she peered into the nursery.

She let those thoughts go and welcomed sleep in her husband's arms.

Unknown to them, in the cold and peaceful blanket of darkness in Sarada's future room, a pair of bright red eyes opens. It had seen its new prey/host/playmate, it didn't know.

A light and silent chuckle emits from inside the creature. 'Soon it will be time, soon it will strike and soon it will get what it wants.' It thought.

Let the fun begin.
