Spencer's POV
Zayn, Louis, Liam and I followed Jedediah through the woods to get to his house. There wasn't really a path but the trees were spaced out enough that you could easily walk through them. After a few minutes we made our way through and walked out in a huge empty field. In the distance there stood a huge stone house. It looked more like a mansion. There were no other houses or anything around it.
"You live there?" Zayn asked while pointing at the house.
"Yup." Jedediah responded with a nod of his head.
We all looked at each other with surprise. This sure wasn't the little typical farmhouse I had pictured in my mind.
We followed him onto the front porch. It wasn't the most well kept house. There were cracks in the walls and it sure looked like it had been around a while but it was still impressive.
"Can we come inside?" Louis asked.
Liam shot him a look. "You can't just ask him that, we don't even know if his parents are home."
"You can if you want." Jedediah replied.
"Are your parent's even home?" Liam asked looking concerned.
"I don't know."
"Guys we should probably get back so we can leave anyways." Liam added.
"Oh come on how often do you stumble across a house as magnificent as this!" Louis exclaimed while making hand gestures towards the house.
"How about we just make a quick look inside and then we will be on our way." Zayn said.
I'm not going to lie curiosity was getting the best of me. Even though I seen where Liam was coming from, I agreed with Zayn and Louis and wanted to go inside this freaking house.
"Come on, what can it hurt if we just look around for a minute." I said.
"Yeah!" Louis agreed.
Liam caved. "Fine."
"Yeah!" Me and Louis both squealed.
"Hey were did the kid go?" Zayn asked.
I looked around. "Probably went inside."
"Come on!" Louis yelled as he opened the front door.
It was a massive door and looked very sturdy.
We all walked into the entry way. There was a giant staircase off the side of the wall and there were multiple doorways on the other side of the wall. We walked through the closest doorway and into what looked like a living room.
"Oh my god." Was all I could say as I looked around. It looked like a pig sty.
There was junk covering the floor. Pictures hung everywhere on the walls.
All our eyes were wide as we examined the area.
"OINK!" I jumped. A pig walked quickly through the room.
"Am I crazy or did a pig just run through?" Liam asked with a stunned expression.
"Your not crazy." I responded. "But this house is. Who can live like this."
"I know I feel sorry for Jedediah having to live in this." He said sympathetically.
"Me too." I agreed.
"Guys come in here!" We heard Zayn and Louis shout from another room.
We both shuffled over to where they were. The kitchen. This room was even more insane than the others. Beside all the typical clutter, there were pigs and chickens all over the room both dead and alive.
There were dead pig bodies hanging from the ceiling, some of them were gutted like deer. There was jars of body parts of pigs and other animals all over the counters. On top of it all it smelled absolutely terrible.
"This is disgusting!" Liam exclaimed.
I nodded my head in agreement. This is more than disgusting I thought, this is just plan creepy.
"Yeah a chicken almost attacked my face when we walked in." Louis said.
"Alright I can't stand this smell anymore." Zayn said while putting his hand over his nose.
"Let's go check out the upstairs!" Louis yelled at him and they both ran off.
"Guys, no we should go!" Liam yelled. It was too late they were already out of sight. Although I couldn't agree with him more. I wanted the hell out of this weird place.
"Let's just wait for them in the entry way." I suggested. I sure didn't want to walk through this house anymore, who knows what kind of dead or alive animals we could find next.
"Okay." Liam said with a roll of his eyes. "I thought they said we were only going to be a minute. Everyone else is probablywondering where we are."
"We will just give them a minute or two and if they are not back then we will..."
I was cut off by the sound of floor boards creaking.
"What was that?" Liam asked.
"I don't know. Maybe it's Jedediah."
This house was seriously giving me the chills especially after seeing all those dead pigs in the kitchen.
A moment later a man in a wheelchair appeared. He didn't have any legs, just stumps from his kneecaps down. He had a baseball cap and glasses on. He looked old and dirty, like he had lived a very rough life. He aggressively wheeled himself to where we were.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE!"
We both flinched and stood as close together as possible.
"We found Jedediah in the middle of the road a few miles away." I timidly said.
"We just wanted to bring him home and make sure he was safe." Liam added in a braver tone. "Are you his father?"
"That's none of your business! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" He angerly yelled.
"We will in a second, our friends are in here too." said Liam.
"No get out now or I'll call the sheriff."
"But our friends are just upstairs..." I tried to say but he interrupted.
"OUT!" He had a cane in his hand and started waving it at us. I wasn't sure why he was carrying a cane, hence he had no legs.
He wheeled closer to us and was about to hit us with the thing.
"Okay, okay were leaving." Liam said sounding irritated and scared at the same time.
We were practically pushed out onto the front porch. He pulled the door swiftly shut after we stumbled out and locked it immediately.
We both just started at each other for a moment with a look of did that really just happen.
"Duh! I'll call them." I said while whipping out my cell.
"Good idea." Liam said with a tone of relief.
"Of course." I said sarcastically. "No bars. Try yours."
He quickly pulled his out and by the look on his face I could tell he also had no service.
"Well I'm sure old crazy in there will kick them out, just like he did us."
"Yeah I'm sure he will." I said.
We both sat on the front steps.
"Well this has certainly turned out to be an interesting day." I said thinking my thoughts out loud.
Harry's POV
Nothing tasted better on a hot day like today than a cold beer. That wasn't the only reason I suggested that me and Aurora were going back to the van though. We weren't going to get the chance to be alone most of this trip and I planned on making another move. Of course though, Niall had to suggest to tag alone. He was staying uncormfortably close to us. I noticed he kept fidgeting and looked very uncomfortable.
"You alright?" I asked giving him a concerned look.
"Yeah." He answered almost to quickly. "Just want to get going."
"Where are we going anyway?" I asked.
"It's a surprise. Remember." Aurora said with a michevious grin.
I rolled my eyes but still grinned back at her.
The minutes seemed to roll by, I checked the time and noticed almost a half hour had gone by.
Aurora seemed to read my thoughts. "They've been gone a while. Do you guys think everythings alright?"
"I don't know I was thinking the same thing." I responded. "Niall you should go look for them."
This would give Aurora and I that alone time I orginally wanted.
His eyes got huge. "I don't know where they went. Why don't we just call them?"
"There's no serivce out here." I said.
"Maybe we should all go together." He suggested.
"No, someone needs to be here if they come back."
"Let's just give them a little bit longer." He said while walking over to the ledge of the building we were parked by and sitting on it. Clearly indicating he wasn't going anywhere.
Aurora grabbed my hand. "If they're not back in ten minutes we will go look for them and Niall can stay here."
"Okay." I said while squeezing her hand.
Zayn's POV
After Louie and I raced up the stairs we found ourselves checking out all the rooms that were off the hallways. They were so long you couldn't see the end of them. As creepy as this house was, it was also really cool. We were running around it like chickens with their heads cut off. We kept finding random little statues or goofy looking clothing and showing it too each other, having a good laugh.
I walked into a small bedroom and right on top of the bed was a huge pair of granny knickers.
"Looks just like your style, Lou." I said as I held them up to him.
He laughed. "Very funny, now let me find something for you." He said while searching the room for something more silly.
We heard what sounded like footsteps coming from a room right across the hall.
"Hear that?" I said my senses becoming more alert.
I slowly started walking over to the room I thought I heard the footsteps coming from. Louie followed close behind me.
"Do you think someone's there?" He whispered.
"I don't know."
I crept closer to the room. The door was closed. I slowly creaked it open.
It was just an ordinary looking room, bed, dresser, mirror. It was a little bigger than the room with the granny panties but just as plain looking.
I did notice that the window was opened. Maybe that's where the noise was coming from. I walked over to it. It was a really beautiful day outside. The sunshine was pouring into the window making me have to squint a little. It was a nice view overlooking a huge grassy field with the forest outlining it.
Suddenly I heard a loud creak coming from behind me. I swiftly turned around.
There was nothing. Where did Louis go?
"Lou." I quietly yelled out while walking around the room.
Shit. Where did he run off to? I really didn't want to be alone in this weird house.
I walked by the bed still looking for my stupid friend. Out of nowhere I felt a hand wrap around my ankle and pull hard. Before I had time to even think I fell on the floor. I screamed while trying to pull my leg away.
I heard a similar annoying high pitched laugh. Louie's head popped out from under the bed.
"Gotcha." He yelled with a huge smirk spread across his lips.
I shook my head. My heart was still racing. "You bastard."
He pulled himself out and stood up, still laughing. He placed a hand on my shoulder. "You should have seen the look on your face."
"Oh haha, you got me." I said in the most 'I could care less' voice. "Just watch out Tommo." I warned, while giving him the evil eye.
That shut him up.
"I have to take a wee." Louie said while holding his crotch.
"We passed by a bathroom down the hall." I said as I pointed to where it was.
He started running over. "I'll be back in a jiffy." He sang out.
"Yeah we should probably head back then." I shouted.
"Agreed." He yelled from down the hall.
I looked at my phone and realized that we had been up here much longer than I expected. "Oh shit." I muttered. We really better hurry up.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a shadow pass by the door. "Louis." I said.
There was no reply. Silence. Maybe it was nothing. I looked back at my phone thinking I would send a quick text telling everyone we'd be right there but right as I was about to type the message I heard someone enter the room. The footsteps were loud and sounded heavy. Those defintely didn't sound like Louie's. I slowly looked up, fear starting to spread from my head down to my toes.
Standing right in the doorway was a huge man. He had a butchers apron on and a mask over which covered most of his face. He had should lenght straglely black hair. His eye's started right into mine, like a lion eyeing down his prey.
I just stood there in shock for a second, then without thinking bolted for the door hoping I could dash around him.
The closer I got to the door the sooner I realized this was a mistake, there was no way I was getting past him, he was giant and took up the whole doorway. But it was too late now. He lunged forward and with one hand grabbed my neck.
He lifted me in the air, his grip was tight. I tried to scream but couldn't get any sound out. I couldn't even breathe. My mind was racing. I'm going to die I thought and before I could think anything else he bashed my head into the dresser next to the door.
