Just thought I'd dust off this oldie and share it with you lovely's. Enjoy

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Spencer asked as she tossed her duffel bag over the fence of the Belvedere Mansion. "What if we get caught?"

"We are not going to get caught." Ashely said following suit. "We come out here every year and we haven't been caught yet."

"Well, there's a first time for everything."

"Will you stop being such a pessimist." Aiden grunted giving her a leg up.

"I just have a bad feeling. Breaking an entering was never really on the top of my 'things to do before i die list' and I sure as hell don't want to go to jail''

''Spencer will you just stop whining.'' Glen spat as he landed hard on the ground next to her.

''Why are you here again?'' She asked.

''Someone has to be the brains of the operation.'' he answered.

''So,'' Ashley said, ''Why are you here again?''

He playfully shoved Ashley before helping Clay down.

''Really guys,'' Clay said, ''Of all the things we could be doing tonight why are we at this dilapidated, abandoned manor?''

''Because,'' Aiden said, ''its a tradition.''

''Tradition?'' Clay asked daftly

''Yeah,'' he answered picking up the fallen duffel bags. ''Lets go.''

''Guys I don't know about this.''

''Spencer stop whining.'' Glen said, ''What better way to spend our first Halloween in LA than at an actual Haunted House.''

''Um at a not Haunted House dancing,'' She answered.

''Dont worry baby,'' Ashley said taking her hand. ''If you get scared I'll protect you.''

''Please,'' Glen said, ''no gooey couple stuff tonight. Tonight's all about the adventure.''

''I hate to be the barer of bad news'' Clay chimed in, ''but there's no such thing as ghosts.''

''Please,'' Ashley said, ''No gooey Nerdy things tonight, tonight is all about the adventure. And this time, we are going to find it.''

''Find what?'' Spencer asked.

''The rich stuff,'' Ashley exclaimed with dollar signs in her eyes.

''Okay Mikey.'' Aiden said, ''this is LA not the Goone Docks.''

''Wait, wait, there's treasure here?'' Glen asked.

''So saith the legend.'' Ashley told him.

''Well tell me more about this legend,'' Glen gasped greedily.

''Not yet,'' Aiden said. ''Not till we're inside.''

''Why?'' Glen cried sadly.

''Because if we don't do it right she wont revel it to us.''

''She?'' Clay asked.

''Yeah.'' Aiden said making his way through 3 foot tall grass.

''Is that all you can say, 'yeah'?'' Clay asked.

''Until we're in side, yeah.''

''What room haven't we tried Aiden?''

''The parlor?''

''We did that last year.''

''Oh yeah, Den?''

''No we did the den in 04. The cheer bitch ruined that one."

''Ash, be nice.'' Aiden said shoving her. ''Library.''

''Yeah, library. Clay should love that .''

''Hey, I'm not that big of a nerd.''

''Yeah you are bro,'' Glen said, wrapping an arm around him. ''But we love you anyway.''

''Alright guys, you have to be quite now'' Ashley warned, ''If we piss her off she wont do anything.''

Silently the Carlin's followed their friends through the old cellar door.

''What was that?''Spencer squealed clenching onto Ashley's arm.

''It was Clay,'' Glen said pushing his brother off of his back.

''I thought i saw something move.''

''Shhh.'' The LAers chimed together.

As the group moved on, discarded furniture covered in dust and cobwebs made it difficult to maneuver. With each step they took, the house spoke. Some louder than others. Each sent shivers down Spencer's spine. The drumming of tiny feet and a squeak caused Spencer to shriek.

''Baby,'' Ashley groaned. ''You're cutting the circulation off in my arm.''

''Sorry''

''Yeah its just a mouse'' Glen said. ''It cant hurt you.''

''Thanks, Glen. I did not know that.''

''Will you guys shut up?'' Aiden asked.

''How much farther do we have to walk? Clay asked, ''We've been at it for ages and some dumb story just doesn't seem worth it to me.''

As soon has he had said it a loud shriek came from down the hall followed by several loud crashes. The sounds of bookshelves being turned over and a woman's voices echoed down the hall.

''Holy shit.''

''Oh, my god''

''What the fuck?''

''Baby, you're suffocating me.''

The group stood huddled on the staircase. Ashley and Spencer at the center of the group. The former turning blue at the latter's grasp.

''What the hell was that?'' Glen asked.

''You pissed her off Clay.'' Aiden said.

''Baby, let me go.'' Ashley choked.

''Spencer eased up a bit, ''Can we go home now?''

''No.'' Ashley said, ''We just got here. And now we know its not just a story. Where's the library Aiden?''

Aiden gave a small smirk to Ashley before taking the final march up the third floor steps. ''This way.''
