A/N: This story is an interview with Theo from The Haunting. Next chapter will have an added character, just for you Kelsey. Thanks to Kelsey, my beta.
"Name, for the record."
"Theo, just Theo," the woman said, with a kind of self-confidence that could humble you in an instant. She was in her late twenties and she was beautiful. Dark hair, bright eyes, sculpted, sultry lips, perfect nose, Theo was exotic. Theo looked at the reporter; she was about the same age, maybe younger, glasses, red hair, and a rigid woman's suit.
"Alright, let's get started. This entire conversation will be recorded. Just feel free to talk," the reporter told Theo. Theo watched the woman turn the tape recorder on, waiting to begin.
"Mona Michaels interviewing Theo about the events at Hill House," Mona, the reporter, said into the tape recorder.
"Theo, how did you come to find about Hill House?" Mona asked, watching Theo intently.
"I volunteered for an insomnia study. I never thought that all this would happen," Theo told Mona, watching her reaction.
"Was there anyone else involved in this study?"
"Yes, Dr. Marrow, David Marrow. Luke Sanderson was a 'subject'. Mary, Dr. Marrow's assistant, but she was only there the first night. And-" Theo stopped. She wasn't ready for this, she couldn't talk about Nell, but Nell was the reason she was here. Theo didn't want Nell's name to be tarnished because of Hill House. Yet, talking about Nell was too painful.
"Was there someone else?" Mona questioned. Theo nodded; she felt her eyes fill with tears.
"Nell, Eleanor, Eleanor Vance. She was the other 'subject' besides Luke and myself," Theo wiped away her tears.
"You all met at Hill House?"
"Yes, Nell was the first to arrive, then myself, Luke, and finally Dr. Marrow. We all met in the Great Hall, except for Nell and I, w-we met when I first arrived. She, she helped me with my luggage. We all had dinner that night, that was when everything started. The friendships and the horror."
There's more to come, I swear. I know if I don't update this soon, Kelsey will have a certain someone punjab lasso me. Yikes, I better get back to work!
