A/N: Well here's my first attempt at a fanfiction. I got the idea while watching a marathon of a certain TV show (not Victorious). The idea may seem a little cheesy but I've tried to put my own twist to things to make it a bit more interesting. Hope you enjoy.

Prologue

Tori and I were psyched for our first house together. We had purchased a very old home on the outskirts of LA, quite the drive from our places of work but we loved the house too much and the offer was too good to pass up. The house had a spacious yard for our two dogs, Spark and Lennon, and possibly new additions to the family. I know what you're thinking, "What? Jade West wants children?" Yes, believe it or not. Only with Tori though, I never had the desire with Beck.

But back to our current family members, there's of course Tori and I. Tori is well on her way to becoming a well-known singer, working with Andre in their small group to get gigs in popular night clubs, hopefully getting to the big leagues someday. Me, I'm a director and a playwright, and successful in my own right. I'm currently working on my new play, Out of the Ashes, and no, not at all based on the 2003 movie by Joseph Sargent. It's about a woman killed in a house fire, and her life in the afterlife, haunting the arsonist who killed her.

Our dogs, Spark and Lennon, are our babies for the moment. Spark is Tori's new puppy, oh-so-appropriately named after her hit song, Make it Shine. Lennon is my little guy, 2 years old and named after, go figure, John Lennon. That man is a genius, must say. Both are Rottweilers from the same mother, different litters though. The mother, Bella, belongs to Beck and his boyfriend Vince.

Beck and Vince are both actors, and very successful for their young age. They own a large house in the Hollywood Hills. Close to where Andre and his wife Kim live. Andre is an artist, on his way to being the most successful songwriter in the world. Kim is part of the LA Phil, a violin player. Lastly there's Cat and Robbie, who own a large home with their daughters Amanda and Anna. Tori and Beck called them the double A batteries, because of how energetic they are. Cat's in the movie/TV makeup business while Robbie owns some kind of tech company, specializing in computer programs and equipment.

Since High School we've all gone down the road of fulfilling our life dreams, and we're still as close as we used to be, if not closer. We consider each other family, welcoming the newest additions with open arms. Even me, who was that scissor-obsessed, loud mouthed gank who terrorized the school and owned it with my undeniable authority. I've grown up a bit since then, I still love scissors and I'm not afraid to say what I think, I've just learned to control myself a bit better.

Beck and I both came out to each other at the same time, which lead to our break up. We faked dating for a while, even going so far as to fake break-ups and such to make it more believable, simply because we weren't ready to come out to the school and our friends. But eventually we came out to our friends, and the whole school soon enough. The look I so briefly noticed on Tori's face at the time was completely explained later on, which lead to our getting together.

Flashback

It was the day we were going to tell our friends about us, Beck and I. We were gathered at his RV to work on a script we were all together for. I looked to Beck who gave me a look of encouragement. "Hey guys, we have something to tell you.." I nervously started. Their looks were quite comical, a mix of 'what the hell' and 'oh no'. Beck laughed and clarified, "It's nothing too terribly bad. Unless you guys think so."

"I knew it! Jade you're pregnant! "Andre joked. I glared at him, and I swear if looks could kill he would be meeting Jesus right now. Beck laughed with him and said "Nooo, if she was she would've killed me by now" I simply nodded in agreement, not at all doubting that I would. Tori had this brief look of relief on her face, as if me being pregnant with Beck's child would be the worst thing in the world, but it was quickly replaced with a look of curiosity.

I swallowed my nervousness and spoke up "Beck and I aren't actually dating," I said, watching their reactions carefully. Most of them were neutral, other than Tori who slightly smiled. Beck's words broke me from my thoughts, "We're actually just each other's cover" he said with a laugh. Andre spoke up next, asking, "So what? You're both gay?" He asked in pure curiosity, clear in his voice and facial expression, no disgust.

Beck and I both nodded, scared and curious for their reactions. Cat simply jumped up and hugged us and whispered to us "You guys were horrible actors," with that she backed up, gave us a wink, and sat down in Robbie's lap. Adding as an afterthought, "Oh, and Robbie and I are dating" she said, giggling. Robbie gave a shy smile and said nothing.

Tori spoke up next, "Well I guess if it's the night of confessions, I'm gay too." Cat ran over to her and whispered something to her, which caused her to turn bright red and give Cat a look saying "I can't believe you would say something like that." After the heavy stuff we all settled down to watching movies.

End of Flashback

My thoughts were interrupted by Tori coming up behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist and leaning her chin on my shoulder. "It's a nice house," she whispered, while we stood outside of our new home.

I smiled, turning around to wrap my arms around her and kiss her. "Let's go inside." We walked up to the front door and I unlocked it, and letting us inside. Immediately I felt uneasy. Tori simply brushed past me and ran into the house like a child would run to a candy store. I slowly followed her in, less enthusiastic now. It was odd, I never got this feeling when we were here with the realtor. Immediately I stopped and called Beck.

After 2 rings he answered, "Hey Jade, what's up?" I sighed, "Hey Beck, I have a question but it's going to seem sort of odd." "Of course, what's on your mind?" I snuck outside to speak to him alone, "Did you or Vince notice anything odd when you were moving our furniture into the new house?" He seemed to think for a moment before answering. "No, though Andre said he felt a bit strange, and heard some things. But it was probably just faulty wiring and the old house just creaking or something, probably nothing to worry about. But I'm kind of busy at the moment so call me later, alright?" It seemed like a way to get himself out of this conversation but I brushed it off quickly, "Sure Beck, talk to you later."

I walked back into the house, looking for Tori. As I walked through the old house I felt more and more uneasy. Maybe this house wasn't such a good idea. Something seemed off, though I couldn't place what it was.

"Jade!" I was brought back to reality by the sound of my girlfriend's voice coming from somewhere upstairs. I quickly climbed up the stairs, finding her in the guest bedroom.

She was in the closet, looking at something I couldn't see. "Come look at this," she said. I walked to her, standing behind her and looking over her shoulder. Inside the closet was a small door. "Hmm, wanna see what's behind it?" I asked, sort of curious myself. "Yeah, its nailed shut though." I thought for a moment then smirked, before pulling out my scissors and saying, "Here, let me through." She moved out of my way so I could pry the wooden panel off.

After a minute or two of the struggle I finally got it off. There was a small opening where I crawled through. I grabbed the flashlight from my keychain and when I turned it on my blood instantly ran cold. "Tori.." I quietly said. She climbed in behind me and gasped, "Oh my god," she whispered, looking around.

The walls were covered in some kind of writing and all kinds of symbols. There were voodoo dolls hanging on the walls amongst the writing. On the floor was a large pentagram, with black candles on each point. I looked at Tori and she had the same uneasy look on her face. I looked back and finally noticed it. A small doll was hanging from a rafter on the ceiling, with a rope around its neck. There was a note taped to it, so I slowly walked around the pentagram, reading the note. On it, written in an old gothic print were the three words, "Welcome to Hell"

A/N: Yep.. Scary story incoming. So, want more or trash this and try something new? Leave me a review and let me know what you think!
Also, that TV show was A Haunting, this was also inspired by Paranormal Witness, The Haunted, and When Ghosts Attack. Call me an addict. ;)
