While trying to survive in Horse Hill, solve a murder, and prove the legend wrong they find more than what they bargained for in each other. PRE-SHULES. Some Shawn whump!

A/N: This chapter is longer, has some action and some Shules. Because I got grounded me and Psychic101 had to write this through a door and without our mom knowing. Not sure when I'll be updating again but hopefully soon. Thank you to jellybean96 for the first review! And to the others who reviewed I also thank you!


"So where is this town?" Shawn asked as they passed the city limit sign.

"About an hour east." Juliet told him Shawn nodded "Do you believe me?" Juliet was shy.

"About?"

"The story. Do you think that it could be true?"

"Honestly Jules I believe that you believe it's true and there's nothing wrong with that. But me… I'm not sure." He confessed looking at her. Juliet was wearing a purple blouse under her suit jacket. She had a grey skirt on instead of slacks; her hair was in a neat little bun. She looked stunning.

"Aren't you psychic? Shouldn't you believe in that type of stuff?" she questioned. Shawn felt a pang in his heart when she called him psychic. He had recently realized that he was in love with Juliet and he felt bad every time he lied to her.

"Jules I may be psychic but… I'm just not sure." He told her. He was still looking at her and she shifted under his gaze.

"What are you looking at?" she glanced at him.

"Nothing." He replied quickly looking away. Shawn looked out the window as they pulled onto a dirt road. The sky had gone from a bright blue to a pale grey in almost seconds. Shawn looked back behind him and saw how blue turned to grey. He turned in his seat and looked out the front window putting his head against the window.

Juliet tried to concentrate on driving but it was getting difficult when a certain psychic was sitting next to her. She glanced at Shawn and quickly away when he moved. He was in a simple brown buttoned down shirt, jeans and had a pair of black Nikes on. He looked gorgeous to be honest. He had little stubble on his face coincidently how she liked it. She shook her head at the thoughts that had started to run through her mind. Many of which involved her and him on a date or other things.

The hour had flown by with each of them lost in their own thoughts. Pretty soon the came in front of an old forest. The tress were grey and dead, the leafs where on the ground.

"Wow." Shawn whistled looking at the sight. A chill ran up Juliet's spine as she turned right and pulled into the town. The town was small and old fashioned. The roofs were made of straw or simple wood. The townspeople mingled, bartered and shopped in the town square. Juliet parked about ten feet away from the town and the two slowly got out of the car.

"This place is weird." Shawn commented as they walked into the town.

"You're telling me."

"It looks like we went back in time-" Shan whispered as they passed a blacksmith.

"To the eighteenth century." Juliet finished Shawn nodded.

"Need some help Sir?" a man approached Shawn. This man was wearing a maroon hat with a yellow puffy shirt and plain cloth plants.

"I-uh." Shawn was at a loss of words.

"I'm Detective Juliet O'Hara from the SPBD," Juliet pulled out her badge and showed it to the man "Me and my partner were here earlier and we-"

The man cut her off "I heard. Would you look to see the mayor?" before either Shawn or Juliet could answer the man started to walk away calling "Come, come." They shared a look before following him. They walked down the dirt road to an old rock building. The man bowed extending a hand to the building before turning and walking away.

"That was creepy." Juliet whispered. Shawn put a hand on her shoulder as they walked into the building. It was old fashioned just as everything else was. They had a small wooden table with a man sitting down at it. This man was dressed similar to the one from earlier.

"Can I help you?" the man inquired. He had blue eyes and blond hair that was cut short.

"We need to see the mayor." Juliet told him showing her badge. The man nodded, standing up and motioning them to follow him. They were led down a corridor that was made of bricks with portraits lining the walls. They came upon a wooden door with a brass knocker. The man knocked twice before opening the door and ushering Shawn and Juliet inside. The door shut behind them and they were left alone with a man in a red chair.

The chair turned away from the window. The mayor had plain, dull brown hair and his hazel eyes looked lifeless. His skin was pale and he was wearing a blue robe with a medallion on his neck.

"I'm mayor Hewitt." He stood up and held a hand out to Shawn. Shawn reached out and shook his hand. Hewitt pulled his hand away and he sat back down in his chair.

"We are investigating-" Hewitt held out a hand stopping Juliet.

"Why are you here good Sir?" he turned to Shawn. Shawn's eyebrows rose as a frown appeared on Juliet's face. Why was the man ignoring Juliet?

"Woman in the eighteenth century were unfairly treated. They were expected to look after the children, do the house work and to keep their mouths shut." Shawn remembered his eighth grade history teacher saying. So this town ran just like the time period.

"We are here looking into Glen Danes wife's death." Shawn told him. Hewitt turned around and walked over to a book shelf.

"Jules in the eighteenth century women weren't treated right. This whole town is based on that century. We are going to have to play along." Shawn whispered to Juliet.

"That would explain why the men only talked to Carlton earlier." Juliet mused.

"If you have any questions… I hate to say this. Tell me and I'll ask them okay? Sometimes woman were punished for speaking out. I don't want that happing to you." He said.

"I'm a detective. I work for the Police!" she hissed.

"I know that Jules but I don't think that matters to them."

"Here we go." Hewitt had come back with a big book. "This here has everyone's address and name in town." He flipped open the book and they coughed when dust went into the air. He flipped through at least half of the giant book before stopping. He ran his finger down a column and turned the book towards Shawn his finger on a name.

"Aithley Danes." Shawn read. Juliet pulled out a picture and showed it to Hewitt. He completely ignored her and that pissed Shawn off.

"She is a member of the police department sir. You will answer her questions." Shawn snapped. Hewitt looked at Shawn then to Juliet before nodding.

"That is her. Aithley." He gulped.

"Wait. Jules how did her husband contact the police if there's no electricity?" Shawn asked.

"Glen was not born here. He became stranded here after his car broke down and he was injured. He stayed with Aithley's family until he was healed. But…"

"He fell in love."

"Yes." Shawn looked out the window as rain started to poor and thunder boomed.

"I'm sorry but you must leave. I have to get home to my family." Hewitt picked up the book and put it back on its shelf.

"Of course." Shawn and Juliet turned and walked out of the room. Outside people were scurrying around trying to get dry. Juliet and Shawn took off at a run towards Juliet's car. They both were taking in gulps of air as they shut the car doors.

"I don't like it here." Shawn said.

"I don't either." Juliet nodded. She went to start the car but the engine sputtered. "Nooo come on." Juliet moaned. Smoke started to rise from the hood and Juliet sighed.

"Looks like were stuck." Shawn voiced.

"Looks like it." Juliet slumped back against her seat. Shawn reached behind him and pulled out a jacket. He handed it over to Juliet who looked at him.

"It's cold and you're wet." He said.

"Thanks." She mumbled pulling it over her. There was a knock on Shawn's window, Shawn rolled down the window. The man from earlier was standing there soaking wet.

"You can stay at my house if you wish." He told them.

"Really?" Juliet asked. The man smiled and nodded yes. Juliet and Shawn got out of the car and followed the man to a little house. It was made of brick with a wooden roof. They entered the house and looked around. A woman was watching them as she put corn onto two children's plate.

"Gypsy these are the travelers I was talking about." The man said.

"Eric are you sure they are safe?" Gypsy looked at her kids then at Shawn and Juliet.

"We won't hurt them." Shawn assured. Gypsy nodded before turning around to a cabinet. She pulled out two extra plates and set them at the table.

"Come and eat." She said. Juliet walked towards the table, Shawn's jacket wrapped around her. Shawn stayed close to Juliet as they walked over and sat down.

"Why are you here?" Eric asked sitting at the head of the table. The room was lit by a single candle in the middle of the table.

"We're looking into Aithley's death." Shawn said.

"Poor Glen he was crushed." Gypsy had put corn, potatoes and what looked like turkey onto their plates.

"I know this place isn't much but it's warm and dry. We have an extra bed you two can use." Both Juliet and Shawn had picked up the fact that he only had one bed available.

"Thank you both so much." Juliet expressed.

"Tis no problem. It looks as if you are going to be here for a few days so tomorrow we can find you a place at the Inn." They all nodded. After dinner Eric showed them to the room they were going to be sharing. The room was empty except for the bed, a dresser and a nightstand.

"Here are a few blankets." He handed them to Shawn before closing the door behind him as he left.

"That was nice of them." Shawn walked over to the bed and spread out one of the blankets.

"Here Jules you can have the bed. I'll sleep on the floor." Shawn looked at her.

"Alright." She shucked off his jacket. Shawn took one of the pillows from the bed and placed it near the bed on the ground. They both got settled and soon Juliet fell asleep. Shawn looked up at the dark celling and was unable to sleep. He could clearly hear the rain and thunder. He also heard… hoofs? He stood up and left the room quietly looking around outside. Shawn's eyes widened as he saw a black horse with a black figure not ten feet from him.

"Leave!" the voice was scratchy and deep. Shawn was paralyzed by fear and couldn't move. Not even when the figure swung a shiny object at his neck. The next thing he knew he was pressed onto the ground with Juliet on top of him. And the whining of a horse becoming distant.

"Shawn? Shawn are you okay?" Juliet asked worriedly getting off of him. "Shawn?" she kneeled next to Shawn. Shawn's eyes were on the horse's retreating figure. Juliet touched his cheek and called for help. Juliet clasped one of his hands into hers. He looked up at her before his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he passed out.


This chapter was a little confusing and hard to write. Basically the town of "Horse Hill" is based on the 18th century. This is the century "Sleepy Hollow" took place in. Women were not treated right so that's why I have the men ignoring Juliet except for Eric. Let me know how I did?
