Happy late Halloween guys! Hope you like this story! (If you're reading some of my other stories: I'm working on them, I just needed to get this out of my head.)

Chapter 1:

"I can't believe it!" Leo exclaimed as he slammed the front door shut behind him, causing Chase to groan as he once again looked up from the papers before him.

"What?!" he asked exasperated. First Adam and now Leo? He had a bigger chance winning the lottery than getting this essay done anytime soon.

"The Horror House of Mission Creek is real!" Leo continued, his broad smile a clear sign his brother's mood didn't affect his excitement.

"The what-of-what?" Bree asked as Leo plopped down between her and Adam.

"The Horror House of Mission Creek!"

"H-Horror house?" Adam repeated unsure.

"Leo, what are you talking about?" Chase sighed as he gave up on his homework and went over to the couch as well.

"The Horror House of Mission Creek." Leo said again.

"Yeah, you've said that three times now." Bree pointed out and patted the youngest boy on the shoulder as if he was a repetitive child. Frowning, Leo slapped her hand away with an irritated snort.

"Yes, but- "

"Why don't you just tell us what this 'Horror House' is?" Chase interrupted before a fight could break out. Leo pulled his gaze away from Bree and grinned even wider.

"I thought it just was a horror story. Mom said it was just a horror story. I mean, of course she thought that, you know how she is." Leo started explaining, his excitement only growing. "But I didn't think it actually existed either. I have searched for this mansion, like my whole life, without finding it. Cause that's what it is, a mansion. The thing is, it's located outside of town, about two hours from here. But it is real! Isn't that just awesome!"

"A mansion called the 'Horror House of Mission Creek' that isn't even located in Mission Creek? Yeah, awesome." Chase said sarcastically, causing his little brother to give him an annoyed look that clearly said: don't you dare ruin my fun!

"I know, right?!" Adam agreed, oblivious to his brother's mockery.

"Wait," Bree said, grabbing the attention of the boys. "Why is it called the Horror House of Mission Creek?"

"Because it's a horror house!" Leo exclaimed, only to receive three questioning looks. "Okay, listen, this house has a dark and horrifying story behind it. It used to be a farm some hundred years ago. But the owner died and the house was left untouched for many, many years, before some rich dude bought it and remade it to a mansion. But he, uhm, he died too. I think. Or he gave the house to some relatives or... whatever. He left the house. Then, uhm, thirty or forty years ago a young man moved into the house. It's said he suffered a terrible death about five years later and nobody has lived there ever since because..." Leo made a dramatic paus, smiling even more as he continued. "Strange things have happened. Accidents. Deaths. Really terrible things."

The living room was dead silent for a moment... Then a snorting laughter was heard.

"And the grand price for most vivid imagination goes to Leo Dooley."

"I'm serious, Chase!" Leo protested with a glare.

"Yeah, okay..." the bionic teen said and rolled his eyes.

"But if you didn't know the real house was real, how do you know what happened?" Adam asked confused.

"Well, I've heard the stories! Anyone who has grown up here has heard the stories. Right?" Leo replied and looked expectantly at his siblings.

"How would we know? We've spent most of our lives locked in a basement, remember?" Bree said, slightly annoyed.

"Riiight" Leo replied with a sheepish smile. "Anyway, it's always been a local horror story in Mission Creek and, well, it's real."

"How do you know that?" Chase asked skeptically.

"A guy from school. We talked about it yesterday and he just gave me the address."

"A guy from school? That's what you're basing your whole 'the Horror House of Mission Creek is real' thing on?"

"Come on, Chase! If we just go there and take a little look, we'll see who's right." Leo suggested.

"Yes!" Adam exclaimed just as excited as Leo and jumped up from the couch. "Let's explore that creepy house!"

"Yeah, why not." Bree shrugged and rose to her feet as well. But before the trio could reach the door Chase blocked their way. He clearly wasn't as happy with the idea as his siblings.

"No! Absolutely not!" he hissed.

"Come on, Chase!" Leo said once again.

"I can move him if you want. He's so tiny." Adam half-whispered, but Chase heard him, causing him to glare at his older brother.

"Aww, don't be such a party pooper, Chase." Bree whined, earning an eye- roll from the mentioned boy.

"No! Why do you even wanna go?" Chase asked curiously, before realizing what Bree had said. "Hey, I'm not a party pooper!"

"Yes, you are! And it will be awesome!" Leo pointed out.

"It's not happening anything here anyway. It's Saturday night and even Mr. Davenport is having more fun on his date with Tasha or Douglas... whatever it is he's doing. Let's have some fun!" Bree said.

"Maybe he's too scared." Leo smirked, deciding for another approach. Adam chuckled and started doing the chicken dance as Bree raised her eyebrows at her younger brother, challenging him to fall for the trick.

"No I'm not! And besides, nobody can trump your girl screams."

"I don't- " Leo started complaining before cutting himself off. "Well, that's what I have you three for. My superhuman siblings with bionic abilities."

By now Adam had started with the noises as well, causing both Bree and Leo to burst out laughing. Another moment of laughter and chicken noises passed...

"Fine! FINE! Just stop!" Chase then shouted and all three of his siblings looked at him expectantly. "We can go there, but... only if we put on our mission suits."

"What? Why?"

"Because I say so!"

"But why- "

"Doesn't matter!" Leo interrupted as he started pushing his siblings to the elevator. "Let's just go before Mr. Buzzkill changes his mind again."

TO BE CONTINUED...

So the first chapter is basically an introduction -I wanted to get a little build-up and backstory to the Horror House of Mission Creek- so the action (and horror) starts in the next chapter! Excited? Well, hopefully I'll get it up on Tuesday or Wednesday :)

Here's the thing, I don't do horror... I barely watch horror. Crime? Yes. Supernatural? Absolutely. But horror? Nope (if I do it's my sister's fault). I never read horror and I usually don't write it either. So why the horror all of a sudden? Well it it (has been) Halloween, so despite the fact that I don't really celebrate Halloween anymore I thought I would give you all a (late) Halloween special!

Besides I've had a break from school now, so I've been "terrorized" with a constant commercial for the first five Saw movies for a whole week. And today I watched a TV show called "Ghost adventures" so... well, this idea popped up an it just sort of happened ;)

Another thing, this takes place in season 3, after "Which Father Knows Best?" but before "You Posted What?!".

Until next time! :) /Libra
