A/N: Okay I couldn't wait to put up another chapter. This story is AU. Just remember that. I forgot to put that in the description.

Chapter 2 story of the house

Danny tried to catch Steve as he fell but it was difficult. He got him lying down and Chin started to fan him with a piece of paper. Kono got a rag, wetted it and brought it to Danny. He used that rag to dab it on Steve's forehead. After a couple of minutes Steve started to stir. The three of them gave him some room and Steve blinked his eyes open. He looked around and spotted Danny.

"What happened?"

"You fainted," Danny replied.

"No, I mean what happened to you, you were right behind me at another house or cabin and you disappeared."

"Steve, that never happened. You were having a dream or a nightmare. We've been asleep since we got here last night."

"What about the scream we both heard at around two a.m.?"

"There was no scream."

He looked at Danny and he noticed that his friend was telling the truth. He reached towards his head and winced. It was sensitive to touch.

"Then why does my head hurt so much?"

"Because, when you sleeping you kept banging your head. You were having a whopper of a dream."

"It seemed so real, though."

Kono got some ice for Steve's head to see if they could get the bruising down a bit. He took the ice from her and put it against his head, wincing slightly.

Chin spoke up. "What was the dream about, Steve?"

Steve looked at chin and shuddered. "Well, at first it wasn't all that scary, Danny and I woke up because of a scream we heard in the woods and we checked it out. I guess that is where it got kind of creepy. Danny disappeared and I was all alone. It felt like I was in a horror film. So I go in search of Danny and something spooks me. I start running and I fall down a steep hill. On the way down I hit my head really hard on a rock and I almost pass out. After a few minutes I get up, climb the steep hill and find Danny in a clearing. We head back to a cabin or house and find that you and Kono are dead. Then Danny disappears again and someone comes up behind me and hits me in the back of head and I black out. Next thing I know its morning and you guys are telling me that it was all a dream."

"Well it was, but we couldn't get you to wake up."

Steve nodded and got up. "We should head back to Five-0 headquarters. The Governor is probably wondering where we are by now."

They all nodded and got their things. Steve grabbed the car keys and headed out with them and stopped dead in his tracks. Someone let out all the air out of their tires and someone let out all the gasoline by poking a hole in the gas tank. Danny was upset because that was their only ride.

"Darn it! Now what are we going to do?" Danny asked, out loud.

"Well Chin and I could go find a gas station while you and Kono stay here and see if you can fix the hole in the gas tank."

"Yeah, you got a point there, Steve," stated Danny. He looked up and noticed that his partner had his happy/euphoria face on. He chuckled, thinking that Steve was happy about leaving the house for a while.

While Danny and Kono stayed at the house, Chin and Steve were trying to find a gas station. The walk calmed Steve down enough so that he wasn't as jumpy as before. They reached their location within thirty minutes. They found a mini mart and a gas station

"Okay so we need gas and something to pump the tires with," said Chin. He looked towards Steve and noticed that he had a faraway look in his eyes. "Steve? Are you okay?"

Steve shook his head and answered, "Huh? Um, yeah I'm okay, I'm just still shaken up about that realistic dream that I had. It was creepy."

Chin nodded and he understood what Steve was going through. 'You are not alone. I went through almost the same thing when Hesse grabbed me and put that bomb on me. I am glad that I made it out alive.' He shook his head to get rid of the thoughts that were going through his head about that day. He looked around the station and couldn't find what he was searching for. He found a worker by the checkout counter and walked toward him.

"Hey excuse me, could you please help me?"

"Uh, sure, what do you need help with?"

"Well I need help finding a portable air pump to pump our tires from our car. Someone thought it would be funny to let the air out of them. Another thing that we need is gasoline for the car also."

"Alright," the guy said, "Where are you taking this stuff?"

"Um, it's on McCleary Street. The house on the top of the hill." The guy suddenly looked scared and almost bolted from the room. Chin saw this and caught him before he could make his exit. "What's wrong, kid?"

"That house is bad news."

"What's bad news?" asked Steve, who heard the boy's last sentence. He had a cart full of groceries and was standing behind Chin. Chin turned around and faced Steve.

"The boy here says that the house we're in is bad news."

"What do you mean, kid?" asked Steve, curious.

"Well that house on the top of the hill is rumored to be haunted." He paused. "Look, I'll tell you guys in about ten minutes, which is when I get my break."

They both nodded and waited. Chin got another worker to help him find the things that he was looking for. He bought the things that he needed and waited outside with Steve. Within a few minutes the boy that they talked to earlier came out and motioned to them to follow him. They stopped a little ways away and sat down on a picnic bench.

"Alright so what is wrong with the house we are staying in?" wondered Steve.

"Well it begins with a story that just takes too long to tell but the short version is this, if you make it a week without getting scared out of your skin then you are free. Basically that means if you fall prey to that house and get scared you will become crazy."

"How?" asked Chin.

"Well the longest time anyone stayed in that house was three days. There is a curse on that house and if you come by it you are sucked in for as long as it wants you to. It also depends on how many people are in that house too. If it's just you two then you guys have six days to live there. So, as in how you would become crazy is this: if you let your fears overcome you, then you will never be the same."

"What are you talking about?" questioned Steve.

"My buddy was in there for three days and he was fine, but he told me that every time he closed his eyes or tried to escape he would see something or hear something that would make him want to stay at the house until his time was up. He experienced nightmares of his friends disappearing and dying. The house tests you to see if you can take all the horrific things in life and if you pass than you are free to go. There is a catch though; you have to remain on the premises for the full number of days for you guys to go home."

"What kind of curse is it?"

"The kind of curse that you don't want to break. If you break it then you will be in deep trouble. There is a positive and a negative thing about the curse. If you want to place a call you can, but the problem is if you want call to trace to where you are at, it won't work. Oh and if you want people to call you then your out of luck. It only works for outgoing calls."

"How do you know so much about his house?" asked Chin.

"Because, I was the last one to make it out sane. And that was five years ago. At least fifty have tried and they didn't make it out sane. The house can play tricks on you, too."

"What kind of tricks?" wondered Steve.

"Well, it plays with your mind; it makes you think that everything is wrong, in a sense that it distorts reality. Kind of like, if you were stuck in a dream. It makes you think that things aren't there like people that have died. It's weird."

"What made the house be like that?" asked Chin.

"A long time ago, like 300 years ago, this house was filled with people from all over the world. It was a house that had parties and meetings. One day there was a girl who came to the house and she stayed there. She heard that there was a treasure somewhere inside that house, so she searched and searched. She couldn't find the treasure. She was devastated and she wanted help, so she gathered the three strongest men to help her. During those weeks they became close and started to form friendships. They got along pretty well and they were from different places in the world. They never argued and they became like a family. A couple of weeks after they started to search, something happened. No one knows what happened, but on that day, only one guy escaped. He said that there was an accident and something caved in on them. He was shaken up about it. But when the people went in, everything looked normal. There was no cave in. Some say the guy lied to get everyone to go away. Some say that the cave in actually happened but on a different day. Others say that the guy killed his friends and kept the treasure all to himself. Whichever story is true, the house has been haunted ever since."

Steve and Chin have never heard a story like that at all. Steve didn't believe in ghosts but he did believe in spirits. Chin believed in both. They looked at each other and looked at the boy, and thanked him for telling the story. They got the groceries they needed and set off to the house.

"Wow, that was quite the story," stated Steve, "I wonder if it's even true?"

"I don't know, brah," said Chin, "but that was a good story. Even if it was true, how could it be? I mean, when the kid said that one of the guys killed his friends and left to take the treasure, why didn't the police investigate to see if there were bodies of the guy's friends?"

"I have no idea, but I can't wait to tell Danny about what that kid told us. He is going to freak out."

Chin grinned knowing that Steve and Danny were like brothers in a way. They both stopped talking and walked the rest of the way. It took them a good thirty minutes before the house came into view. Both were sweating when they came to the bottom of the hill, so they rested for a while to catch their breath. Luckily the hill wasn't that big. Nobody was outside, so they both assumed that their friends were inside.

"Steve, I'm curious about the dream you had. Why was Danny the only one besides you that was awake?"

Steve thought about that. "I don't know, but the dream was so real that I thought everything was real. I was cold when it got spooky, but other than that it felt like I was awake."

Chin's answer was drowned out by a blood curling scream.

A/N: Next chapter should be up in a couple of days. On wednesday at the latest. Hope you enjoyed and I will update it soon.
