Return To Hill House

Disclaimers: I don't own the story or the characters, the plot line belongs to me, everything else belongs to Shirley Jackson and Jan De Bont.

Warnings: With this Chapter it's going to show more than just a simple attraction to each other than in the movie, but a what if they had the chance to get together and fall in love, before the attack the following night. As we see her change from her old personality and into a different than she was in the movie, as just meeting the quintet is changing her now.

So some of her feelings are going to reduced here, from her shy self and into a more self confident individual now as the week continues. As the week continues now. But from here we see their relationship growing as things change directions as we see what things would have been like if the duo survived past the last fifteen minutes of the movie

So for this chapter we see their relationship as it's going to be their first night together, which is when the soulmate activates and they act like they known each other for years, before things start shifting directions the next day, before he tells them the truth and they find her in the greenhouse which is the next chapter, before they see the truth for themselves.

But his memories are going to show the portions leading into their return to the house, before it starts getting out of hand, as theirs going to be a few added scares in the middle of the story, as the paranormal attacks start up again, as they get frequent visitors from her family and get ready for the return trip.

Chapter 9: The Conversation And The Will Part II

"Should have read the fine print young lady, you just screwed yourself over by doing this, but we are your mother's best friends." Benson said with a stern smile. "In truth she is not your sister baby, she's descended from Alicia's bloodline. But going by what Becky told me they squandered their entire side of the inheritance. All they got left is what has them treating you like this, in addition to his job." Dudley told her and she nodded softly.

"Well looks like we got the lion's share of the inheritance right now, because I am a psychiatrist in training and mom was a psychiatrist at the time. All in all they just committed financial suicide by doing this as they got cut out of the will. And everything goes to me and Dave, as we get out of town and we're returning home after that." she said and they nodded as we exchanged looks at Webster's remark as it went further.

As her sister finished that. "Also we know how much you love mom's car so we're giving it to you." she said and I looked at her in shock as Theo said it for all of us. "You're taking her house and giving her a 20 year old car." she said in disgust as I heard my wife repeat that in shocked disgust. "You're taking my home and giving me a 20 year old car." She said in shocked disbelief and I crossed my arms at that remark.

As I heard a flippant tone of dismissal in his voice. "Oh absolutely, we'll deduct the value from the proceeds of the apartment." he said and I heard her say it forcefully as I repeated that. "Who are you, do you understand that she has no where to go." I echoed as her voice joined with mine. "Who are you, do you understand that I have no where to go." she said and I watched her sister rest her hand on his shoulder.

"We've been talking, Lou and I are very busy, and we could use someone to help us with the cleaning and the cooking, looking after Richie." she said nodding her head to him as I saw him banging on the wall with a four pronged cane. "Eleanor help me, I gotta pee." he sneered and Luke said it with a growl. "That did it finally for me, there was no way in hell I'm moving in with them, not with that little brat."

"Searching for a nice apartment, meant it would take time or 2) that I had someone to let me stay with them, until I had the money to buy out the deed on my apartment." she told me and I nodded as I heard Luke's growl to the kid. "Why you little brat, you better stay clear of me or so help me, you're getting the spanking of a lifetime. I see why she hates her nephew this much." he said and I nodded in agreement.

And to that, I couldn't believe what her sister was like with her family and I nodded as the kid's father snapped at him. "Richie not now!" he said as I saw her come to a decision. "Get out of my home." she said and he stood up. "Well suit yourself, we'll let the courts handle it." he said and and I looked at the pink ball. "Mom, you said your friend was a judge?" I asked her and another message wrote out at that.

"Yeah it's Peter Walters, Judge Walters, he's the high judge in Concord, the Berkshires, he hears this and he can over rule this, but he activates the probate on the second will. And he's screwed David, but judge over rules lawyer any day of the week, I've also got a friend who's a prosecutor." Theo read out and we nodded to the news we turned back to the tape as she repeated it in a warning tone.

"Get out of my home." she repeated and her sister quickly pulled her son of to her father, as I heard the final remark then. "Come live with us Nell, you have no idea how hard it is out there." she said and Eleanor said it in finality. "No Jane, you have no idea how hard it was in here, watching your mother fade away. After losing one parent and you're an orphan, so no." she said coldly and her sister left at that.

"If Andy wanted us to hate him, or her, he just got his wish, right now, because wait till Todd and Mary see this tape deck right now." Theo said as Luke checked the camera and pulled out a hollowed full size videotape as we saw it and then looked at the miniature ones and I nodded. "Nice touch mom, you got the evidence needed to call it off, but something happens this week, and we can show these tapes to your friends."

"I was talking to Rick and Beth this morning, but they need the final confirmation now, Rick is getting Benson up here before they call it and head home." she said and a gentle mesage wrote itself out at that to her. "I know baby, and your father made contact with the duo just after Dave and the duo found the camera and the tape deck." she read out and I nodded as she looked at me smiling as she answered her then.

"If Andy wanted us to hate him, or her, he just got his wish, right now, because wait till Todd and Mary see this tape deck right now." Theo said again as Luke checked the camera and pulled out a hollowed full size videotape as we saw it and then looked at the miniature ones and I nodded. "Nice touch mom, you got the evidence needed to call it off, but something happens this week, and we can show these tapes to your friends."

"I was talking to Rick and Beth this morning, but they need the final confirmation now, Rick is getting Benson up here before they call it and head home." she said and a gentle mesage wrote itself out at that to her. "I know baby, and your father made contact with the duo just after Dave and the duo found the camera and the tape deck." she read out and I nodded as she looked at me smiling as she answered her then.

"You want me to show this to Uncle Jack and the Dudleys tonight, before they leave just to confirm things. If you left the insurance money to pay damages and medical bills for Dave and me?" she asked and I heard a gentle but firm tone in the next one. "Yeah sweetheart I do, but just a reminder, they lose it out of fear and either you. Or your friends, or both of you, get hurt and volunteer status gets cancelled."

"And it's ten times what the volunteer status is to cancel a lawsuit, as you told them repeatedly what this was. And they're spooked to the point of going into self destruction here, but 5% of it is to tell your life story to the entire planet. That you're the grand daughter of the original owner of Hill House. Just choose your look alikes and alter the last 10 minutes." she read out and we nodded to that.

"We got the first half of this and the next one is a catch we know of a bit she never gets that as a ghost you can do anything you want. In total truth here is she's sticking around as long as we need her to until you're ready to let go, baby." Beth told her and she nodded to her. "Well that helps now, we were considering Beetlejuice or Fred Krueger, in this haunting." I told her and she nodded as Eleanor finished that remark gently.

"We're turning this into a cross between, if this keeps up and he goes from cruel practical jokes and directly to homicidal next. That we're showing the results of what the car accident in the fact of the damn gate could result in. And the reason for how I ended up working from home ever since, but whatever this is, it's going in the line you taught me here." she said and I nodded to that remark as we exchanged looks at her remark then.

Thinking it over as I thought over that and then it hit me. "Alternate ending in the movie that gets added to the book, and it's in memory of your mother. Caroline, Andy and his friends, so she's helping us create the movie by adding on to the storyline. Rebecca gave her life to free the last group and we got the next, but why would that be needed. Now, is the question here, and with it, why is your grandmother sending us messages now."

"The movie gets the alternate ending as you survived what is coming and with you, Luke, if this keeps up, but who is Craine for real. Why are the kids always hanging around us, what are the secrets buried in the walls of this house and most importantly. What's the meaning of that message on the painting if this house belongs to Fred exactly. And as this continues now, but I got the money that can take care of the surgery if you get hit."

"And damages, medical bills, I can get you a new car as that one was destroyed here and so on." I said and she nodded as I heard a gentle tune coming from somewhere and we exchanged looks, before she smiled. "That's what I was singing to myself, as I was coming up here, just adding it to when I found my necklace that definitely helps." she said and looked down to see Andy and Sarah sitting there in front of us at that softly.

And then smiled as she looked at Sarah gently. "I get the idea you two and Sarah, are you a pianist, or a musician by any chance." she said and she jumped once to answer her. "You got the tune right, that's what I was humming to myself on my way up here yesterday, but I got to know, why choose the second the six of us were together. To reveal yourselves exactly to us?" she asked and a gentle mesage wrote itself out.

"The guys, Jenny, Kathy, Sarah and I needed you to understand now in why we came out, but 4 boys, 3 girls, you're a junior psychiatrist, Dave is a full. And Father is like the dream stalker on the movie, but if you were 10 years younger. And you just got out of training, who do you have baby?" I read out as a green star appeared next to the message and I covered my eyes at that as I read it out firmly.

"She's just like Langenkamp when she played the girl, and Benson, and the Dudleys, Walters?" I asked and the tone went firm as he explained it then. "Jack is the one cop, David, the Dudleys are like her parents once they get the truth. But if you altered the storyline slightly, Louis is the dead beat dad. That every psychiatrist that treated her, before your double came into the picture, claimed it to be."

"She did it because of her father, long story short here, Sarah, Robby Billy and I are taking it slow for the next few days, regarding your search. But once your ability goes to full power you have to really take it slow, Eleanor. Just trust me, the deeper you dig and the more traumatizing it's going to get. So just take it slow and easy now, okay baby." he said and she nodded as she looked at me.

"Issues in my family are difficult to contend with at times, but the secrets are buried in the walls now at the moment. But if Uncle Jack is anything like Saxon, and I'm just repeating Depp's remark here. But we have reason to believe there is something really strange going on inside this house, or town." she said and I heard a bemused tone come into an adult voice as Rob rolled in at that remark as he answered her at that statement.

"I got no argument with that baby, but again you need to take it slow, but you remember what I was like when you were Thompson's age, on the movie. And I was trying to figure out why my friends on the force found you shacking up. And with three other teenagers in the middle of the night and especially. If one of them was a minor delinquent like the kid who was framed for murder here."

"You're stil reactivating and this leads in the direction it's going in, your friends keep this up and someone's going to get hurt. So take it slow until you can see our souls, and Jack is going to say the same thing here at the moment. Rick and Beth were relieved to see me and your mother, but time changes things. And they're starting to remember now." he said and we nodded as she said it at that.

"I take it if you were around right now, you'd kill Lou for touching me at all like that when, like mom, you were connected to Rick, through Uncle Jared right?" she asked and the tone firmed up as he answered her. "You're right, I would, but as the family executor, once I get Peter involved and he's screwed, but your uncle is a judge. And judge over rules lawyer any day of the week, as such right now."

"Just keep this as your little secret, until the duration us up right now guys, you two and Theodora, Luke, Todd and Mary. Even Malcolm knows that your mother and I are hanging around and the sextet got used to us being like this. They can't see us, but they can still talk to us like this, though you can see us. As we reveal we heard the entire conversation to the Websters as a result."

"And that resulted in cutting them out of the will as a result, the amount in this house is more then millions, bilions or even trillions you two. You're standing on an incalcuble amount in here in gold, silver, jewels and so on. But the prize is the house, the family fortune and you knew my family. Honey, I was descended from a british lord almost as rich as Craine himself back then, as a result."

"Though we kept to mid middle class, your mother and I bought the apartment and paid six months ahead on the rent which explains the books. And the other things we got for you, but of you, you turned into what we wanted at the time. But you were the one we doted upon and quite honestly, we couldn't have picked a better match for you, baby." he said and I hid a smile at his remark then.

"As, with the fact the Dudleys called the chief up here tonight before they went home that helps right now. As they know, that I'm their god daughter as a result, but this is enough to over rule things, I got the notes saying it's a fake." she said and I nodded to that. "I take this to Malcolm and he sees this in our security camera room, Malcolm was her mother's boss." I said and they nodded to the news gently at that.

"Yes that's what the added tape was for, so you can show these to Malcolm, but camera and your back up camera. Well they were meant so you can show these to my friends and I understand why you would say that son. Luke, but to repeat that remark Jane gave in reverse now, but clearly, I thought you, David. But you would be much better equipped to deal with these unpleasant details."

"And these truths, then Louis would be, you understand my daughter and to me he's not even real family, however you're real family to me. And my favorite son in law, but if I was still alive what would you do, do if I got diagnosed?" she asked and I smiled. "I'd offer to let you live with us and we'd take care of you until the end mom." I echoed and another one wrote out, the tone doting and proud as she said it.

"And that is why you're my favorite son David, kind, courageous, caring, true, you're everything I want for her. You understand the admissions in the will, but they don't and they're chewing up her side of the Inheritence faster than they can blink right now. Just wait till the results come back from my banker, and Jack and my lawyer are telling you the legal details, before this goes to court."

"The idiot boy is a chronic drunk and is as sadistic as you can get in the courtroom and its going to be my pleasure to bring him down. And off the mountain and high horse once you and my daughter reveal the truth of the first will to him and Jane." I read out and she smiled at that information. "So you're the legal executor, oh I can't wait to see the look on his face when you tell him."

"That the shift in rights and parental approved marital heir happens to be you." he said smiling and she grinned sternly. "I'm the rightful heir and you're the family executor of the assets, the paper she has is the fake. I got the real one and the added post notes that say it is a fake, well this is simple enough. I can take it to the Dudleys as they pull Benson and Walters into it now." she said and I nodded smiling to that remark.

"Well if I'm the chosen marital heir, I don't have to worry now, because our relationship is already forming here and if this is the start of our lives together, I'm being who she needs me to be now. She said the necklace belonged to her mother, but it looks like it's 130 years old." I said and he nodded as he answered me gently at that as he checked the first three tapes then and grabbed the next one.

"Alright lets check the rest of this." Theo said to me and I nodded as, not noticing there was a secondary camera hidden in the picture frame, or the hole in there, I quickly realized it. "I didn't notice that mom, or dad, had drilled a hole into the wall, but that's where the frigerator, or rather the freezer was standing. Against that wall with the fridge, against the other next to the one leading outside." she said as I heard my voice say it.

"Someone drilled and cut a hole into the wall of the kichen wall there, it's got a perfect angle to look into Rebecca's bedroom." I said and they nodded as I watched her walk into her mother's room then as I saw the medical equipment around the room now. "My bedroom was across the hall from her's, so whenever she needed me for something, she had her cane." she told me and I nodded as she watched Luke gently.

"I had the room arranged carefully, but the side that had the tray was the one she slept on, since she died, I left the door open and sheet hanging there since. As for the equipment, I left everything she had lying around the apartment where she left it. This was an issue, though I wanted to do this, it was still on the automatic response." Eleanor said and I nodded as she watched herself look into the room as her eyes saddened.

And as she walked into the room and looked at the cane. "Everything Malcolm and Rick leant me to take care of her was sitting next to that wall by the side table. So I just remade the bed and left the cane on it then, up until then, I never noticed the necklace till I saw it hanging there." she explained and I nodded as I heard the duo say it then. "She said that Keough leant her the equipment to take care of her there."

"But the other cane is by the tv set, this one was on the bed, the box for spent needles, the tv tray, and the bed pan. There's the heart monitor, if their family was well off, then Rebecca paid everything in full at the time." Theo said and I nodded in agreement. "She mentioned a banging of the cane against the wall, but what type I don't know." I said and then got the answer to that as Luke said it then.

"That must be the cane she mentioned, brass handle, and there's a walker next to it." Luke said and I nodded in agreement to his thoughts as I saw the grief come into her eyes, before I saw the necklace. And she picked it up, before seeing the inscription on the wall and nodded. "A place for everything, and everything in it's place, I like that, being scientists and psychiatrists we had a filing system here."

"That must be why she kept a miniature dewey decimal system and why our rooms were set up like this." I said and she smiled and nodded. "Yeah that was it exactly at the moment here, mom taught me this and if I ever got married. Then it went to my children next after that, in all honestly this was the way my parents were. Along with the necklace, if our first child is a girl, but as scientists that was a key point."

"That was mom's way of thinking, we had a place for everything and everything had it's place in our apartment, the way I had her room arranged. And the movies posters and everything else, beyond organized as a result, so as a result this worked quite well. Then again Lou never appreciated it at the time, mom and I did the bills together. But we did food arrangments and other things, so it helped, but she left me her necklace."

"Before she passed, as she got me ready to start my future, but I meant it, I was in between jobs at the time. And my next one was the latest phone call here, as I got started on my research finally now." she said and I nodded to her gently at the news then. "No joke, if this was why she vented that to us last night, she's still in mourning right now at the moment here, she needs us now at the moment."

"Alright last tape now." Theo said and I activated it as I saw her put the necklace on then, before the phone went off. And she picked it up. "Hello." she said, before her eyes narrowed in shock. "Yeah this is Eleanor..., where?" she asked and grabbed up the paper and opened it as I saw my ad and I nodded in shock. "I never called you honey, someone impersonated my voice to get you to check the paper that day."

"Though if they did, it was so you could get to work on your own experiment, as you joined forces with me." I told her and she nodded. "Then again, I think this was to get me out of town for a couple weeks as they took advantage of the admissions. When in the will, as it gets all over the state that current Heiress, Rebecca March-Craine Vance. Will was recently probated and Hill House legends get revealed to the new heiress."

"As the truths in the walls get revealed to the heiress, her fiancé Dr. David James Marrow and their friends." she said as we heard it. "That wasn't me that called her that day, the first time I spoke to her was here at the house yesterday. So I'd say someone impersonated me to get her out of town, just to prevent another injury if he's that abusive when he's drunk." I said and they nodded to me at the news.

"Research subjects, $900 a week..." she said softly, her tone going hopeful. "It's about then, that my idea to give me another month in the apartment. As a result, so I was doing this to save my partment, but at the time. Just, so I could find a new one now came to the fore." she said and I nodded as I heard my voice say it. "Mom how much was the rent exactly?" I asked and she explained it to me, before she could though.

Eleanor turned to me to explain this with a bemused smile on her face at that. "I feel like we're doing a repeater of Beetlejuice here at the moment, repeated hauntings and the ghosts are possesing things just to scare us out of the house here. But so far it's not working, but this guy's a lunatic." she said and I chuckled and nodded. "Trust me I understand why, but that's why I'm not leaving you alone anymore at the moment."

"Whoever our mysterious adult ghost is, he's likely across between Beetlejuice and Fred Krueger, though that's true and he attacks everytime we leave you alone. Well then enough of the separating already, he's not getting a second chance to try it now at the moment." I said and she nodded as Rebecca answered my question. "The apartment was owned by me, but $500 a month, and utilities came to another $300."

"So to her, that's why she was doing this, not just a desire to be a volunteer, but so she could keep our apartment by being a volunteer now. But you just hit the nail on the head son, Rob impersonated you to get her out of the house. As we set the trap and they walked right into it, we're waiting for him to make that mistake, but probate ends on All Saints Day." Theo read out and we nodded to that.

Watching the tape, I watched her think it over. "Where's this house exactly?" she asked and I heard a voice answer her. "It's in Concord and the Berkshires." he said and she nodded as she said it then and smiled. "What's the thesis exactly, because if you're choosing this, I did my own research paper in college. And my own disrotation focused on fear and performance and sleep deprivation."

"So I'd gladly volunteer for this, when's the meet and greet?" she asked and the voice explained that as I smiled at her eagerness to get involved. "In ten days, we are meeting at the house." he said and she nodded. "Alright, what's your assistant's name exactly?" she asked and he explained that to her. "Mary Lambretta, and our office number is (617) 523-4255." he said and she nodded as she said it then.

"Alright thank you and see you soon, Doctor." she said and hung up as she went back into her mother's room, and pulled something out as I saw the title of the folder. Seeing the name on it, she smiled. "Experiment, second chance to put my own model to use finally, mom if this was your idea, I owe you big right now. But those two, if this was a test, are getting their's once I speak to Malcolm."

"Though how Malcolm is going to take this is anyone's guess or who his subordinate is now, though if said subordinate is the man who just called me. Then all the better right now, there's more then meets the eye, but that will has words that were stopped being used by the mid 30's. So if this was a test, I'm going to pass it for you, but time to start over, I need to save the apartment."

"Our home, and I won't fail you mom, I promise." she said and we ended it at that. "For the moment, I'm looking at this becoming like a starter, first scares of the Goosebumps genre category and they start getting more destructive. As time goes on and until they hit A Nightmare on Elm Street though that's true. And we got a serious problem, but think about it, you're a full psychiatrist, I'm intern with experience."

"In the paranormal and pattern nightmares, we got a bunch of kids haunting the house, my parents are contacting you, through me and so on. You see what I'm saying here right now?" she asked and I nodded firmly. "Yeah and you're trying to get to bottom of this, I'm the only who can help you out with this. But it's just making sure we survive the night, us and the duo, once it really gets started." I said and she took my hand at that.

"Ancestral home, I just found my way back to my family manor, well if the house shifted from Craine to my great grandfather and went down the female bloodline, I'm the legal heir to the household. Guys, last night before things started with the intrusions, I ended up meeting grandpa, Alicia and and Andy and his friends, he said that until I could see their imprints, I wasn't ready for that truth yet." she said and he nodded with a sigh.

"Fred's right baby, until you can see your mother, you're not ready to hear that truth yet. Because it's like the original trilogy here, Hamil's character was first hearing his mentor through auditory hallucinations and then once he was slightly skilled. But hearing the truth from your own mentor is much safer. Especially after training himself for three years, he could see his mentor and he told him the truth of what happened."

"That's better than you just learning this on your own, or you can hear it from us and Jared in how your mother ended up retiring and why exactly. So with that in mind, don't over do it baby." he said and she nodded as she finished her sentence then with a sigh. "Though whoever the maternal head of the family was its got to be either Renee or Caroline, but Renee killed herself and the storyline gets lost from there."

"That's the piece I need to figure out, though considering we found violets in the greenhouse, that could be where she did it right now, but how. That's the next question, Caroline and mom are directing me to crack the case." she said and I nodded as I thought over how she knew that portion of it. "Whatever dark secrets there are here, regarding Craine there is, it's going to be a slight problem, but I've taken after my grandfather, in this case."

"But what was Hugh for real, whatever Craine did is the key." she said and they exchanged looks at that. "Yeah about that honey, the legend regarding him had two Plotholes in it. But Caroline is your great grandmother, but the darkside portions of that history are the part that each age group kept hidden. Till they were your age, and until your ability was at full power." Dudley said and Benson finished that with a gentle sigh.

Before I could answer that, I heard a familiar tune from the library. "That's the theme song to The Princess Bride." I said and she smiled. "Looks like Rosie loves romantic comedies." she said and I chuckled and nodded in agreement. "Anyone ever listen to Knopfler's version to that song?" Luke asked and she nodded. "Yeah and that never gets old right now, but something's from that movie are a running gag for our age group." she said and Theo chuckled at that.

"But again, about this, you and mom clearly see he's a perfect match, so how dangerous are these secrets exactly?" she asked and he sighed. "Enough that they see what kind of dangers are hiding in the walls it's an panic attack waiting to happen, you remember the ending, before the final assault. In Poltergeist, before, she saw that they moved the tombstones but left the coffins?" he asked and we nodded. "That bad in this case?" Theo asked and he nodded to her.

"Why exactly, I've seen the trilogy, what's the big deal if you think I'm not ready?" she asked and he sighed. "Because that truth is like learning Vader is your grandfather and learning what he did honey. Before you dig into that and learn the rest of that truth, you need to hear it from Becky baby, learning it on your own. This is going to be hardest on you, because you're not ready for that truth yet honey, don't rush the research."

"Or you could get hurt even more than you are already, emotionally." Benson said to her gently. "Just what is the big secret here regarding Craine, if you're saying that Chief?" I asked and he sighed as he looked at me. "It explains how Becky ended up in the hospital and what caused the surgery David, but at the moment she's not ready for it right now. At the moment the first third of the original trilogy played itself out last night"

"And when she met you three, we're going to part two now and that's the dangerous part of it now. Dave we contacted Malcolm and told him the truth, regarding her familial back-history, but this is the piece that was left out of it. But the further she digs into it. And the shock's enough it's going to get worse if this keeps up. The sole heir only got the truth from the previous heir, with Becky a ghost, she's going to have to tell her."

"But these practical jokes are meant to scare you out of the house, David think about what went on when they separated, you barely left her alone for ten minutes, but if it wasn't you and wasn't her. Then who else could have done it?" he asked and I thought it over. "Fair enough question, but if it wasn't you and it wasn't us who did it, then who else could have done it?" Theo asked in response, and Eleanor shifted her gaze up.

"I'm not sure, but this is a cross between Poltergeist and The Night Of The Living Dummy right now, as you have someone screwing around here. But does someone want to can it with the pranks and practical jokes right now though, I feel like we're the narrator and her brother. And before they caught their cousin in the act of grabbing their father's dummies, or we're the kid and the blasted doll framed him after a trauma right now."

"Said frame him for is vandalizing his own classwork, by writing a piece of profanity on it, or by the monster under the bed remark by saying a dog ate their homework." she said and I nodded. "If we catch this in the act and you get hurt after we found you up that staircase. And then I find another remark like what we found on the painting, that's enough to tell me I'm being framed here." I said and she nodded in agreement gently

"Yeah, but that's enough of this already." Eleanor said and he nodded as he went to the table. "Aw shit, hey Doctor, someone is drawing on your notes that you took so far." Luke called out to me as he came to me at that and I checked my notes. "Well who's the wise guy doing this exactly, because first the painting. And now my psychological reports on you guys right now." I said firmly and she shifted her gaze up and nodded as she looked at us then gently.

"Now again, this may look like he's the one doing this, but it's not, he's being framed for the level of cruel practical jokes going on in this house right now. As such, in dad's words this is what he was really talking about, but you remember he said that he sounds like Saxon?" she asked and we all nodded. "Well when in business mode do not tick him off, or you're asking for the telling off from hell, and mom with him here." she said and they both nodded as Benson smiled.

"And again, I don't know in who the hell is doing this, but whoever it is, they better stop now or you're going to get it and I mean that." we heard in response. "Rob, that you?" Walters called out and we heard an immediate response. "Yeah Peter, just give me 10 minutes." he answered and we all nodded. "God he sounds just like him." Theo said and she nodded. "We heard this all the time from him." Beth said to her and she nodded to her gently.

"Going on a guess, he decided to use said cosmetics and get his favorite jacket and clothes on so he's going to be in here pretty soon." she said and I nodded. "Well in any case, he's the heir to one of the old style lords here in the Berkshires, that's the other half of the inheritance." she said and I nodded. "Alright so we know the house is haunted by your grandfather, great aunt and parents, as well as Andy and his friends." I said and she nodded to me gently at that.

"Well that's one way to do it, borrow their voices and now we know who each member sounds like right now." Theo said and she nodded to that. "Yeah, so we're going to be hearing the cast of the show in their cases, Winona and Christian in the case of your grandfather and his twin, and Blakley. When in the case of your mother now, so with that, Caroline, what do you sound like?" Luke asked and we heard a gentle tone to that question as she answered him then.

"In truth I sound like the woman playing Winona's mother." she said and we nodded. "So you're using Susan Sarandon then, okay got it." I said and Eleanor and I exchanged smiles at this. "Just age Blakley's voice another 22 years, they had the dating wrong on the movie, though they did and it was 1987 when the duo made their reappearance, and the movie focuses on the rest of the block after that." she said and I nodded smiling at that as Theo said it.

"Well this is making like that scene on their arrival in doors all over the house, my counterpart chose correctly, he didn't and walks right into a broom closet." she said and I started laughing at that. "Nice wording Theo, but at any rate you're right, but with a house this size, then compared to the one on our counterpart movie. It's not acting like that, but more like whoever is haunting this house, is a deranged psychotic here." she said and she nodded to her then.

Before she could answer I heard a crash and thump and then an annoyed tone. "Alright who the hell left the skates on the stairs this time exactly?!" he called out and I started laughing. "Don't look at me dad, I stopped roller blading by the time I was 15." she called back and I knew he hid a nod to that. 'Well whoever did it now, are you trying to kill someone with these things on the damn staircase, we talked about that already right now."

"Edward so help me god, if that was you, you're grounded till high school!" he called out and Mr. and Mrs. Dudley started laughing at that. "Well there's something I never expected to hear again right now." Mr. Dudley said with a chuckle and she and Mrs. Dudley nodded smiling. "So dad, you and Becky were constantly coming up here, to visit their friends, and Amy, and this was the occasional case on the staircase?" I asked and she and the quintet all nodded.

"At times dad came up here to visit, but the one time I left the skates near the stairs he stepped on one and went rolling down the staircase in the foyer. But that main hall, mom told me to leave the fireplace alone, though we, when it was raining, spent most of our time playing kickball in that hall now. So skating in this house was considered a trip to the hospital waiting to happen as this is no normal linoleum now, but marble, so putting the brakes on, no go at the time."

"So with that in mind here, I'd like to know who in our little friends did it this time, what color this time exactly, dad, if you stepped on another one here exactly?" she called out and he said it with a bemused tone. "These ones have silver wheels and all in black, with the kids using the persona of the rangers on the tv show, I know only one member that uses these particular ones, it's Eddie." he called back to her and I nodded to the news.

"Mom told the neighbors to never leave the skates in the hall outside of the front door, they did and we had him step on one, and go skidding down the stairs. Before they and every parent in the apartment building said never to do that anymore, before the grandparents break something next in going up. Or down those stairs." she said and I nodded. "And I said the same thing, when you were no older then the triplets." Beth said laughing and she nodded gently.

"Where's the entrance to your apartment, because they try to sell it, with you gone, and they're screwed here?" Luke asked and she said it. "First door on the far left Luke, so if you guys want to investigate my apartment, go right ahead, because he sees you guys, and he's going to realize here. After he sees Malcolm and Dana, that you're more of my friends from work, and I'm dating Malcolm's next in command of the ward." she said and he smiled sternly as she said it.

"But with hardwood floors, it's hard to stay standing so there's the occasion of loosing your balance, with the wheels at both sides of the skates now but that. That's the roller blades, you're asking for someone to lose control and go running right into a door in this house." she said and we nodded. "With what we heard last night?" he asked and she nodded. "Yeah, but that's a billiard ball, skating in this house is a trip to the emergency room waiting to happen."

"In the sitting room that's fine, but you skid out, and you're going to run right into a wall or the door." she said and I hid a laugh. "Like what we heard last night honey, before the exchanges got a little out of hand and we had the story come out?" I asked and she nodded. "Yeah that's exactly what I mean trying to put the breaks on in this house, is tantamount to roller-blading on ice or putting the brakes on, on black ice not easy." she said and they started laughing then.

"Great, and this is why we tell you never to go roller skating in the house." Benson said laughing and I nodded to that remark. "Our age group were teenagers to early 20's in 1984 it's 15 years later right now, and it's turning into a mad house with all the pranks and practical jokes here." I said and he nodded. "And if you thought I was bad after telling me you found that on the painting, her father's even worse." he said and I nodded to that remark as we heard it then.

"No kidding Jack, but in this case it's one thing when I was still fully human at the current moment here and leaving that on the stairs. It could cause us to go falling down said stairs and break something, but this is getting ridiculous, guys put your toys away, now I maybe a ghost. But this is a trip to the E.R. waiting to happen, now put that away right now." he said and we exchanged looks as the trio were shaking in laughter at that.

"Is he always like this?" Luke asked and she nodded. "Yeah, but this is now the Invisible Man now.' she said and we both nodded with a smile then. "If you remember John Saxon after she got in the way of said arrest, and he was annoyed enough that day, before he catches her at the precinct at 1 in the morning. That's my father when he's annoyed at what said teenager did this time for him to catch them red handed." she said and he nodded as I hid a chuckle then.

"Okay, guys, you can look now." he said and Eleanor turned and smiled as she moved to her father and he hugged her tightly at that. "God I missed you so much dad." she said and he smiled. "Well your mother and I found a way to have us with you, and like this, again, so making like the invisible man. But now finally, the kids are working out their own costumes, they'll be ready by tonight, princess." he said and she nodded smiling.

"Nice to finally meet you in person, Sir." I said and he looked at me with a gentle smile. "You too son, and you're exactly what her mother and I had in mind in her case, but what she told you, over her being like Heather, that's not an exaggeration. In fact she was everything that she was in the movie, her sister is no sister at all, but the second cousin, from her aunt's blood-line." he said and we all nodded as he looked at the quartet smiling.

"Hey guys, good to see you again." he said and the quartet surrounded him as Beth hugged him smiling. "Missed you buddy, it's great to see you again." Rick said smiling at him. "Kids she's not kidding, you know the house is haunted here, but for me, her mother, the kids and Fred and Alicia, as well as Caroline. But trust me, what you see is not always what you get, but her power has the tendency to go crazy out of exhaustion here."

"I should know, I saw this with her mother repeatedly, when we were kids." he said and we all nodded. "So what you told me last night is the punchline after you showed up as a snooker red?" I asked and he nodded. "Yeah that's exactly what I do mean, but while John was right to be apprehensive with Craig when he got involved, it's because he had no clue how dangerous Fred really was when like this, for her mother."

"Me, Alicia, Fred and Andy, it's now you're now the one involved, as she and I gave you enough and before she gets the truth to what happened. And from the wrong person right now, as the shock is too much right now, as the darker portions of the legend are so slowly unraveling." he said and I nodded. "As for this right now, she knows it's not you." he said and I nodded to him gently at that remark then as she said it.

"There a reason there were designated wings in this house?" Theo asked and he nodded. "Yeah, but this house is so big, you're going to get lost and turned around if you're not thinking straight right now." he said and she nodded. "I take it you and Becky hated Lou on sight the second you saw him now, Sir?" Luke asked and he nodded. "We did, but we knew he was loser, but I said she marries him and she's disowned." he said and I nodded.

"Well it's been 7 years since, and he's turned into a real brat since, by that I mean Richie." she said and he nodded sternly. "She has no idea how much trouble she's in, I just checked the apartment, they're going over that stand-point in the will." he said and I nodded. "Looks like she never heard the double meaning in that will, we all know this first one is a fake." I said and he nodded. "That's because you think like we do." he said and I nodded to him.

"Well she clearly never considered that Ellie makes contact with us and she's done." Walters said to him and he nodded. "No kidding, and where's Jared?" he asked and he chuckled. "He and Amy are on stand by right now." Benson said to him. "Well now I get the point here right, after repeated scares, we've been finding these guys all over the house today." I said and he shook his head. "If you think it's bad now, just wait, Dave." he said and I nodded then.

"Guys we got another problem, but the books on said ventriloquist dummy just hit the table right now, as we found one at the banister covered in paint. A second standing at the table with paint brush in his hand, and this just keeps getting weirder and weirder, looks like they took your remark of possessed dolls. And to a whole new level here right now." she said and pointed behind me at and I turned around. "Where'd he come from?" Luke said and I nodded sternly.

"Alright you wiseacre that's enough of this already, and how the hell did you get down here, after I put you back upstairs?" I asked sternly at that. "You locked the damn door on our side of it, didn't you honey?" she asked and I nodded. "Yeah your mother left me a skeleton key to the doors in the house and I locked the door from the inside and then slammed it, before coming back to join you, so how did he get out?" I said and she, Benson and Dudley all nodded to me.

"I'm not sure, but that's going a little too far after you found said same one on the china hutch last night, and him at the table this morning." Rick said to that and I nodded in agreement. "If it was anyone else, or any other house right now, I'd see this as a cruel practical jokes right now, but with knowing who used to live in the house, before your mother inherited the house, now it's making sense he's trying to scare you out of here." Benson said to her and she nodded.

"Oh great, well whoever it is, is actually pulling practical jokes of the type we see in an R.L. Stine book right now." she said and we looked at her. "What makes you say that?" I asked and she explained that to me gently. "We saw this before on the kids show once they adapted the books into a tv show and that one first episode of the damn dummy. He framed the girl for vandalizing her sister's painting, before insulting the entire family."

"And attacks her friends sister, by barely breaking her hand next now, but I mean Night Of The Living Dummy concepts and the triplets in truth now. They love that book series, but think about it, if it wasn't you three and it wasn't me, and the only people in this house during the day are us and the Dudleys. Well who does that leave right now, because Todd and Mary are still at the hospital and the kids are busy with re-enacting the tv show concepts."

"And these books are enough to make anyone paranoid, but the damn dummy had everyone blaming the narrator for it as a result." she said and I nodded to that. "Good point alright if it wasn't us, or your parents, the kids and the trio, and it wasn't the Dudleys, who did it?" I asked and she nodded as she said it. "Well whoever did that exactly?" Eleanor said, pointing up at the chandelier and we looked up to see a couple dolls hanging from it then and we nodded.

"You got to be kidding me." Rob said to that in amazement. "You just took the words right out of my mouth, Rob." Beth said to him and he nodded. "Her mother and the kids, let alone Caroline and the twins are not likely to try scaring the wits out of you by doing this, but this. In truth, took practical jokes a little too far, but don't tell me we got another one, after you said you arrested cub again?" he asked and Benson nodded to him.

"He did it again alright, but cub is like the second of the wiseacre duo on the show, he and his little friends got caught in a robbery." he said and Rob shook his head at that. "Cub come on, you keep this up, you're going to blow your scholarship, you're 16, you got 18 months, and then your record is sealed. Now that's enough of this already." he said gently at that news. "I've got cub duty guys." Benson said to clarify and we all nodded to the news.

"Our age group's kids." Theo asked and they both nodded. "Dad's a lieutenant in the Fire department, but as you know the fire department and police work in tandem with each other. But mom and dad had friends all over the town council and in 911 areas." she said and we nodded. "In which case every time we came up here, she went over the issue with this kid he just arrested for the 4th time in as many months, that's what she was talking to Uncle Jack about."

"A few months ago, before she passed." she said and we all nodded. "But with being outside of town, it's the case of how many times do we got to arrest these kids, before they realize their time table is running out, and our age group was dealing with your's. That's you David, when you were a preteen to teenager, as you know that's when The Outsiders was placed, back in 1965." Benson said to me and I nodded as I crossed my arms as I went over this kid then gently.

"The little wiseacres that got arrested by Bette or is it the current duo on the show that are now being ordered around by the head of the academy?" I asked and he nodded smiling. "It's the second, his name is Joey Parker, and his friend is Dillon Davis, these boys never know when to quit, but as firm as I am about this now. They never got the message, I keep telling them sooner or later their luck will run out, what if it does when you're back?" he asked and we nodded.

"Let me take a wild guess, this kid is like Kerr Smith, Final Destination, as the rival of Devon?" Eleanor asked him and he nodded. "Bingo that's it exactly, baby." Walters said to her and she nodded. "Great cub tries it when I'm going grocery shopping if we have more then just the 6 of us here in our group, and it's a case of exercising what powers mom's gift also gave me with the second sight." she said and they both nodded in agreement as Rob crossed his arms.

"In all honesty, I'd be happier getting out of the city, this is more my taste peace and quiet, so I can actually focus, but I'm working mom's department." she said and they both nodded. "We figured, you wanted to finish this off in your disrotation right now at the moment, but that should be good right now in this case. Once the secondary time table for said will goes through, we're coming to Boston to deal with the Websters." Walters said and we smiled sternly then.

"Okay you guys just arrived, your parents were getting ready for said reveal as are the kids, and the Dudleys were in the kitchen getting dinner ready. As for us, Theo and I were checking to see where that line lead and looks like it lead right to your bedroom, Doctor." Luke said and I nodded. "One problem with that, is that Dave was with me all the time, so not us, not you, and not the Dudleys, my parents or the kids, it's 'him'." she said and he nodded as I gave a nod.

"Yeah I was with you all this time, and it's a 10 minute walk from the greenhouse to our parlor, so how could someone do this and not get caught, right now?" I asked and she nodded. "That's just my point, you're now the narrator and getting blamed for a ton of cruel practical jokes, but you would never be that cruel. Aside from that, you're my boyfriend, so with that in mind, I'm never alone for more the five minutes and you're pairing off with us." she said and I nodded.

"Good point, and this is taking said experiment too damn far right now, and enough of the pranks and practical jokes right now or so help me god here. It's they, whoever it is, is getting committed." the judge said and we nodded in stern agreement. "Unless said person is not us, but already dead right now, and that's enough of this already." she said and I nodded to that. "Uncle Jack did you see this, before mom was hospitalized?" she asked and they all nodded.

"We did and the bastard was trying to scare us out of the house, before her own deadline." Benson said and I nodded. "Well that says all that needs to be said, but if noises and explosions are not going to scare us out of the house, just what makes him think cruel practical jokes will right now?" I asked and she nodded in agreement. "Well if this is anyone, it's clearly not the kids, grandma or my parents, so best guess, it's 'him'." she said and I crossed my own arms at that.

"And just why is he so determined to get you out of this house?" Luke asked and I nodded. "It's because his deadline in staying out of those doors is closing fast right now, and he knows I realize this in why he's now considered said black sheep in my family. I'm going mom and grandma on him and putting him back in those doors. But target you guys as my friends and I will now, and with that, if it's not us it's clearly him who did that." she said and we all nodded.

"I'd consider that a big possibility and how did they get up there right now, we been finding these guys in the strangest places all day?" Dudley asked and I nodded in agreement. "One sitting on the china hutch this morning, them hanging from the chandelier in here. Alright the wise guy doing this better can it with the practical jokes right now, or you're getting grounded for a week." she called out and I nodded as I answered that remark as we exchanged looks at this.

"Does anyone else feel like we're in the middle of the book after they caught Slappy trying to steal his rival out of their attic?" I asked and she nodded in agreement to that. "Yeah, but this is the part of the episode where she, the narrator, found two or three of these guys hanging from the chandelier that night, before they decided on a scary movie marathon." she told me and I nodded as we exchanged bemused looks at this situation.

As we looked at Luke and Theo at that. "Well this time we know it wasn't us, because we paired off after the fight, and secondly these ceilings are 20 to 25ft high. You can't get them up there without a 50 foot ladder and finally now. We all agreed that none of us did this, the fireplace or wrote that on the painting." Theo said and Luke and Eleanor nodded in agreement. "No kidding, we didn't do it." the three of us said together at that remark.

As Theo and Eleanor moved to me on the couch as the four of us huddled together as Luke said it for the four of us at that remark. "Guys are you the ones doing this." Luke asked and a fast message wrote itself out at that question. "No it's not us Luke, but dad is still haunting the house, though we're the reason for the sounds of children remark.'." I read out as a green star appeared next to it as he answered him.

And we nodded as she looked at me. "The outside of the house looks like the college in England, but this house is so big, these ceiling are 50 to 75ft high. So who the hell did it this time, but first Clue and it's turning into a Goosebumps book and we got stuck in one. That had the main characters having the victims pointing fingers at her every time. So it's the possessed dummy and the damn clown doll, so Poltergeist mixed with Slappy."

"These ceilings are a good 20 feet high, and you can't get up there without a ladder, guys. And even standing on the sofa wouldn't work for that right now, 2) you're always investigating things. Or you're with one of us, and this entire afternoon after you came to check on me. You were with me that entire time, and Theo and Luke are always together when paired off right now." she said and I nodded as Luke said it for me at that.

"And said first book happens to be written in the third person, the others are all first person, so said narrator." I said and she nodded. "And you were with me all day today after our fight and like I said that happens with me and Janet all the time, before we make up" she told me and I nodded. "So me to Tony and her to Janet, and you guys were a trio?" he asked and she nodded. "If we were anyone, we're one side of the trio, and the duo were the others."

"To put that another way is if I was anyone, I'm Kristen, you guys are Kincaid and Taryn and we're just missing what's left of the five of us here." she said and he nodded. "Will and Jennifer and I'm the one playing Joey." I said and she nodded. "Bingo, and unfortunately before this gets anymore out of hand then it had already right now, never mind unprecedented explanations, we know the house is haunted and we didn't do it." she said and we both nodded as he said it.

"Does anyone else feel like this is the night after the narrator and her brother caught their cousin in the act?" Luke asked standing up at that. "Like I said before, before you start with the theories, consider the fact that he's always pairing off with each of us. But all afternoon after we separated, he was with me, so how could he have done that?" she asked and Dudley nodded as he answered her at that remark firmly at that remark.

"You already got evidence the house is haunted, but it's not your mother or the kids, let alone Todd or Mary. But our conversation this morning over what the heck happened last night, just after we left takes precedence here." He said and she nodded crossing her arms. "No kidding, but it's just us in the house during the day and the four of us at night, until Mary and Todd get back up here." Luke said and I nodded to that remark firmly.

"Yeah and whoever our adult poltergeist is, he's simulating Slappy at the moment, but if it wasn't us and it wasn't the Dudleys, Todd, Mary or the kids then who is it right now. Because this is getting out of hand and it's getting out of control right now for pranks and practical jokes right now. But whoever is doing that had better stop right now." she said sternly and I nodded as I crossed my arms as Theo said it for me at that.

"We're planning on turning this into a movie so I think we get the pieces that were not in the book this is not 1965. But 1999, and in the 90's is where that book series was created and prior to that is when Poltergeist, was done." she told her and she nodded. "Those aren't normal dolls, or puppets, this one looks like the character in the second book episode, before her father replaced him with Slappy." Eleanor added and I nodded.

"Well I can think of only one thing they would be with that clue right now at the moment Nell, but with all of us together. Then who the heck did it this time, with us working off the hypothesis here right now. But now we get 4 more adults in this house and one is the chief of police, and the others are the judge and caretakers of the house." Luke said as he and I moved to her side at that as Theo also got up at that as she answered that.

"Are those ventriloquist dummies?" Theo said standing up and she nodded. "Case point, those ghosts in the movie were moving things around, but things collapsing on their own. Let alone moving on their own, the door slams shut when nobody touched it, a pot gets thrown across the room when nobody got a hold of it. The noises, the painting, the fireplace and now this, there's paint all over the table in here as well."

"Red paint, well that just makes it more clear." Luke said and she looked down and nodded, as we checked under the couch and nodded. "There's a bottle of red paint and a paint brush, that's still wet and the paint on the table is still fresh. It happened barely an hour ago, before Eleanor and I got back in here, so not her or me. You guys were busy in scoping out house, so not us or you, or the trio." I said and they nodded in agreement.

As she slid her finger across it, she took a taste and her eyes narrowed. "That's not paint, but stage blood, you guys, whoever did this is watching horror movies. The ones from our generation, as we're adults, but the ones that every teenager watches. And every Halloween, that's corn syrup mixed with blueberry juice and enough. In giving off a blood red tinge to it." Eleanor said and I nodded as Theo and I checked under the table and found it.

"There's a couple milk cartons under this table, setting up a murder scene, so Charades, they're acting like someone was fatally stabbed here and collapsed on the table. Before whoever was injured was chased out of the room and ended up where exactly?" Theo asked and I nodded in agreement. "Create the story, create the story, I gave out the clues last night and you tie it together, Eleanor." I said and she nodded in agreement.

"And the dummies are helping it along by doing this now, 2 on the chandelier, there's blood all over the table, we find that on your notes and next comes the theory." she said and I nodded. "Whatever these dummies are trying to tell me will take time, but if Craine was scared to lose his youngest, if Andy was it. As, at this age, it's matchmaking, any parents concerns as their cubs grow up." she said and Luke and I nodded, firmly then.
