Chapter 2

AN: Yay! Another long author note that nobody reads!

Just one thing. I forgot to mention that there are apparently 3 different endings to the film. I have seen 2 of those 3, and decided to base it on the one I though was most interesting. I'm mainly saying this because one of my friends complained that there was no death at the end of the version she saw. Aanndd... I was watching TAPS: Ghost Hunters, so I've got some pretty good ideas swimming around...

Anyhow, I how you all enjoy this next chapter (:

Warring: Character Death, Horror, Spoilers. (Character death will not be until the final chapter.)

Roll `em!

09:58am - Day 2

Dawn awoke, still shaken by the previous events. She opened her eyes, and tilted her head, meeting her favourite brown eyes. He smiled down to her and kissed her head. Dawn smiled and moved closer to her boyfriend.

"I need to go..." Ash told her softly. Dawn seemed to panic a little.

"Wha? Where?"

"I need to go back into town..." Dawn shot up, worry written all over her face.

"But..." She felt a warm hand cup her cheek. Instantly calming her down.

"It's gonna be ok." He said, kissing her forehead.

"Bu-but... I- Can't I come with you?" Ash tensed up a little.

"Well, no. I... It's nothing important. Just something for a mate." He said, trying not to sound suspicious.

"But, why can't I go with you?"

"I... Just trust me, ok?" He stroked her cheek with his thumb. Dawn slip one of her hands over his, and smiled lightly. She turned her head down, and sighed.

"Ok..." Ash smiled at his successes and kissed her forehead. He slid out of the sheets and started getting ready. He grabbed his jeans and shirt, slid on his runners, and shook up his hair. He then kissed his girl, hopped down stairs, and soon enough, Dawn was on her own.

She decided on getting some more sleep. She lifted up the covers, and decided on listening to the soft pitter-patter of rain that hit the bedroom window. It was very peaceful... But easy come easy go...

She began to hear creeks coming from the hall outside her bedroom. They were soft, and barley noticeable, but they appeared to get louder. She opened her eyes. She couldn't find the words to explain it. She could feel that someone was here...but, there wasn't. She left it, like the last several times, but kept her eyes open slightly. Then, moment caught her eyes. The fern in the back corner of her room began to wave. Her heart began to race. She looked over to the window. The curtains weren't moving, so an open window was out of the equation. She gripped onto the sheets under her chin, biting her lips. Then, it happened. Getting louder and louder were the same whispers as the day before. She snapped her eyes closed, begging she would wake up back in Ash's arms. But there was no arrival. She opened her eyes, getting the shock of her life as she did so. On the cream-coloured wall in front of her was a shadow. It was the figure of a man. His posture seemed a little uneven, like he had a hunch. His arms were tensed up, and stickling out slightly, instead of dangling down in a relaxed position. Whatever, or however it was, seemed to be getting closer to her. The whispers began getting louder, but were spoken over the top of...a breathing sound? The breath was alarming and husky, and the airway seemed to be blocked a little, like a smokers. The breathing got louder and louder, but Dawn seemed to be stuck in bed, her muscles refusing to obey. But she was soon returned to reality when she felt a familiar breath cross over her face. She swung her arm forward, trying to hit whatever it was in front of her. She leaped from her bed and ran downstairs. She stopped, and looked around. Nothing. Not a sound – apart from the dripping rain outside. Her breath was heavy, but she decided to hold it so she could hear anything close to her. Still nothing. She couldn't help it. She collapsed to the floor. She knew what she saw, but what is was was still unknown to her. She was hysterical! She just couldn't get the figure of the man out of her mind. There didn't appear to be anything in front of her, but then...where did the shadow come from? She held her head in her hands, crying.

After about 10 minutes she got a hold of herself. She lifted herself from the floor, flicked on the kettle, and began her morning routine. The power was on fortunately, so she spent a few hours stuck on the couch in front of the TV.

1:24pm

Dawn tried to fall asleep, but couldn't. She felt so uneasy now, in her own house! Instead she stared at the TV.

Tap...Tap...tap...

Something gained her attention. "Not again..." She thought. She looked up. Was it coming from the roof? She looked up wide-eyed. There was defiantly something up there.

"H-hello?" She didn't know if she wanted a response or not. She began tearing up again. Why did this have to happen to her? "Please! Whoever's there... Please... Go away!"

BANG!

She jumped, and stood up from the couch. "I said go away!" She screamed, her voice cracking.

BANG!

"GO AWAY!" She fell to the floor again. She was a complete mess. All she knew, she was alone in the house – except for the strange thing up there – and it wasn't happy.

She was defenceless, with no where to go. Where else can you go but your own home? But she didn't care. Ash had the car, but it didn't matter.

She bolted to the door, but her hopes were shattered again with a quick click of the lock. She tried unlock it, but it was defiantly stuck.

"Let me out! Let me out!" She violently attacked the door, screaming and crying for help and mercy.

"Help! Somebody help me! Please!"
