After placing all the boxes in the right room, we were in the kitchen, eating sandwiches, looking around. "Autumn? Do you know what language this is?" My mom asked, looking at the wall.

"Yea. It's Latin." I explained, taking a bite out of my turkey sandwich.

"Didn't you take it for your middle school language course?" Mom asked, throwing her and Becka's paper plates away into a trash bag.

"Yep. No idea what it means though." I replied, getting up and throwing my plate away.

"Woah! It's after 12 a.m. Time for bed you two!" Mom announced. Becka was already half way asleep so she didn't complain about going to bed…I was the opposite.

"Can I stay up and explore more?" I asked, hoping to explore the basement again. I just took my medicine so I shouldn't have those head aches. I guess I forgot my medicine this morning.

"Okay. Just don't stay up too late. Cause if you do, and you wake up at 2 p.m. later, then I will not take you to get that hoodie you wanted to get tomorrow." My mom said, picking up my sister.

"Are you sure there's even a mall here? It seems more like the middle of no where place…like Halloween, or…Texas Chainsaw Massacre," I said.

"I thought…you said…those were just…movies," Becka mumbled, hearing our conversations.

"They are just movies someone thought of." My mom assured her.

"Actually Texas Chainsaw Massacre was-"I began but I was interrupted by my mom giving me a look as Becka instantly seemed wide awake and scared. "Actually Texas Chainsaw Massacre was based on a fake story." Becka stared from me to my mother and back and forth.

"Say goodnight to your sister, Becka." My mom said, beginning to carry her to her new room.

"Night sister," came Becka's mumble, as they turned the corner. We had eventually found our way around the house. I mean going back and forth and back and forth from a certain room to the car to another room. I decided to go get my Ipod from my room and explore. I am more relaxed when I hear my music.

I quickly began to continue my route from the kitchen to my room, passing by my 'landmark' aka the circle with the spinning ring around it. I entered my room and went to the vanity, picking up my Ipod. I turned then something caught my eye. A pair of clear glasses. I squinted at it and tried to remember ever having a pair of glasses like that. Weird. Very weird. Eh. Maybe they're part of the décor…I wonder if Becka has a pair in her room. I decided to try them on…see how they look. I went into my huge bathroom and walked up to the mirror. I made sure my bangs weren't parted at the middle, which it was not thankfully. I slid the glasses on, and looked at myself, from side to side. "I look hott!" I said, fluffing my hair.

I walked out of my bathroom, the glasses still on and decided to change since it was warm. I slid on my dance shorts and a tank top, deciding that I would probably dance…just without the jumps. "Spinning should do fine. Maybe I'll join the dance team at my school…if they deserve me that is." I chuckled to myself, and began to walk down the hall, in socks so my mom and sister wouldn't hear my footsteps.

I quickly went down the basement stairs, and actually didn't get a headache. I looked at the cases…only now they weren't empty. In the first case I saw was a naked beautiful woman with slash marks all over her. She glared at me, and raised the knife she held in her hand at me. I decided to not show fear. "Hi. I'm Autumn. What's your name?" I said, smiling, and waved.

She just stared at me. "You're very beautiful, miss." I smiled warmly. She then glared intently. Almost like she wanted to kill me for some unknown reason. If looks could kill…I would be dead on the spot. What a bitch!

"I'm going to go now…" I said, then turned around to see a boy in a cowboy costume…with an bow in his head. Am I dreaming? I quickly went to the next room. It had a guy with half his body torn and a wrecked car behind him. He held a baseball bat. I went to the next one. To see a guy with a cage on his head and wearing a straight jacket, the cage had the bars bent forward. Next case held a woman that was in a white dress with blood stains. A tie was around her neck…with a bone sticking out and her arms seemed to be tied behind her back. Next one held a huge fat man with a diaper and bib, while a really small woman fed him. Next held a huge tall man with seemed like millions of bullet holes. Next held a man with nails sticking out of him…where his left hand should have been was a hammer. Next held a woman that was in a stock, wearing a tattered dress. Next was a persons body…with his head right next to him…wrapped in a cellophane. The last was a woman. Half her face was burned. She held onto a I.V. drip. She seemed…less menacing then the other ghosts.

I stopped, and looked at her curiously. "Hi. I'm Autumn…who are you?"

"Don't worry about who I am! Get out of here! Get out of this house before they are released!" She answered. I was stunned that she actually replied, let alone what she said.

"You…can talk? Who are you?...Are you…dead?" I rambled.

"Aren't you listening! Get out of the house!"

"Look. I want to move out. Trust me, I tried before we even left Cali. But my mother won't budge."

"GET OUT OF HERE! Show her the rest of us!"

"How am I suppose to do that? Just say hey mom come see who I found in basement…"

"ARE YOU ALWAYS LIKE THIS!"

"Stubborn? Curious? Always finding a good excuse?"

"YES!"

"I got that from my mother! She loves this place! There has to be another way to protect them!"

"Since you won't leave, then just don't go into the room with the huge machine in! Just don't come down!"

"I have already been in that room! It's strange."

"You what! Look! Just get out of here and stay out of that room!"

"But I want to help you…"

"You can't help us! We're dead!"
