Chapter 2

Friday 4pm.

Brendan walked into a cold dark room. There were red candles dotted around, all flickering. He turned to beckon the others in when the door slammed shut, trapping him inside.

Ste was beside himself as the door slammed to leaving them outside while Brendan disappeared.

"Brendan!Oh my god, we have to get him out of there!" He shouted at Cheryl and Nate whose faces were of complete shock. Ste started banging his fists over the door and desperately shuck the door handle.

"Brendan, open the door!" Ste shouted.

Cheryl tried to calm Ste down, even though she was just as scared.

"It's back" Nate spoke softly

"It's in there with him" Nate spoke again, looking up at Cheryl and Ste.

"What's back love? Nate? You're not making any sense" Cheryl cupped over Nate's face and looked in his eyes. They seemed very distant, like he was looking right through her.

Nate then glanced down to the bottom of the door and pointed out his hand. Cheryl and Ste moved back to watch the light under the door dim quickly.

"Oh god, Cheryl! The key, the one that opens all the doors?Where is it?" Ste was getting agitated.

I, In my b,bag love" Cheryl was pretty scared now.

Cheryl grabbed her bag, but her hands were shaking so she dropped it, and the contents flew out over the floor. They all scrambled to look for the key, using their phone light to see. They searched feeling along the dusty concrete floor.

"Chez, you sure you had it?" Ste asked worried.

"Yes Love, I am sure, It'll be here somewhere" She replied voice faltering.

Nate suddenly spoke again. "It's back, look under the door, the light, and it's brighter now" Nate said.

They heard someone speak behind the door as the light dimmed again.

"Brendan? Will you fucking answer me?" Ste kicked the door.

"Found it!" Cheryl rushed to the door and used the key as the door clicked open.

Brendan ran over and grabbed around but there was no handle on this side of the door, only a key hole. A strange feeling came over him, as though he wasn't alone so he spun round quickly.

One by one the candles blew out, Brendan's eyes were wide as he watched the only light in the room fade dimmer and dimmer. Until there was one candle left, it was placed in a metal handled holder on a round table in the center of the room. Brendan ran over to it and grabbed it in his hand.

He used the low candle light to study where he was. It was a round shaped room, made of stone. There were no windows. On the wall he noticed some writing had been left here, as he walked over to read it, in the corner of his eye he saw a small light in the distance.

Brendan turned towards it and walked, the light got closer and closer to him as he walked. The hair on his neck had prickled up, his palms were sweating. He stopped, and the light stopped too.

"Who are ye?" Brendan asked, his heart beat quickening

There was no answer.

"What do ye want?" He asked loudly while turning his head around.

Still nothing. Brendan smiled and turned to walk back to the door.

"Yeah thought so, just a figment of our bloody imagination!"Brendan smirked, then gasped when the light began to move again towards him, it got brighter and bigger until Brendan had to shield his eyes.

'GET OUT! LEAVE!'

A shrill voice screamed at him as the light expanded over his body and went out. Brendan was shaking now; his legs almost gave way as they trembled beneath his body.

Brendan took in a deep breath and dared to open his eyes, the light was gone, and just the candle stayed lit, flickering in his hand.

Brendan was stood in the middle of the room in shock, holding the flickering candle he heard the door click behind him,he'd never been so relieved to see them.

"Ye won't BELIEVE what just happened to me!" He laughed as he strode over to Ste. passing the candle to Cheryl he tightly hugged an emotional Ste.

"You left me" Sobbed Ste

"I never left you Steven, the bloody door slammed shut! I'd never leave ye" promised Brendan giving him a soft kiss to the forehead.

"So now what?" asked Ste

"We have been given a message" Brendan spoke with a serious tone. "Whatever is here, said we had to leave and get out" He added.

"Let's go then!" Cheryl pleaded.

"No, I don't want to leave, no ghost or whatever the fuck it thinks it is is driving us out" Brendan replied.

"I agree" said Ste clinging on to Brendan so tight in fear he'd lose him.

"Let's at least give it one night, come on, a haunted house? It might be fun?!" Nate agreed.

"Maybe if we didn't show it fear it would get bored and leave us alone?" Suggested Ste

"FUN?! Yeah,COURSE, and pigs will be flying past the windows if we ever get back up ground to see them!" Snapped Cheryl.

"That's enough, look let's go back up here, I think this is an underground tunnel, like an escape route from the house. We will be back there if we follow it round."

Just before they left the round room, Brendan checked out the writing on the wall.

'I told you to leave'

It turned out the hallway had led back to the house,they ended up in the basement. There was a bulb hanging from the ceiling with a cord hanging down,so Ste pulled on it as light brightened up the dingy basement.

There was a set of wooden stairs that led upstairs,they were making there way to them when a sound stopped them. The noise seemed to travel down the stairs stop then a dull thump on the floor. It happened again.

"Is that skipping?" Asked Cheryl

Cheryl walked over to stand at the bottom step. Cheryl looked up but no one was there.

The noise happened again,gentle skipping noise traveled towards her,then stopped briefly. Then Cheryl was quickly shoved back against the wall and was held ridged.

"Someone...someone touched me" "I felt hands here" as Cheryl gestured to her chest. "They pushed me back at this wall!"

"Chez,are ye okay?" Brendan asked concerned.

"Yes love,I am. I think it was a child,skipping down the stairs" It hadn't frightened her this time,as she walked back up the stairs,the noise stopped.

Ste made them all a meal once they had returned to the house, the smell of fish now greeted them as Brendan stoked the huge coal fire in the lounge. He started a fire and they all settled down to eat.

Ste sat on the golden fir rug that lay in front of the fireplace to warm himself, Brendan had joined him, as he moved his fingers through the thick fir of it he drew Ste's gaze, they smiled.

They were seen by Cheryl who loved to watch them so happy together, the struggle they had gone through just to get to this place in their lives had been worth it, they adored each other, it made Cheryl feel a peace over her as she lay in Nate's arms, they all enjoyed the quiet for the first time since they'd arrived.

They finally settled in for the night, as far as weekends away go it was an eye opener.

Ste was in the bathroom washing his face; he brushed his teeth as Brendan came in and cuddled around him. They stared at each other in the mirror. Ste kept brushing his teeth as Brendan beamed loving looks at him.

"I love you Steven" Brendan purred into Ste's ear

Ste felt a tingling hit inside his stomach. He rinsed his mouth out and stopped to look back at Brendan.

"I love you more Bren" Ste replied happy.

Brendan moved to grip the hem under Ste's t-shirt pulled it over his head. They watched each other in the mirror, as Brendan ran his fingers under the cold tap, and moved to Ste's nipples and circled his damp fingers over them.

Ste hitched a breath at the coldness of the water as it hardened them. Brendan used his hands over Ste's chest as he took his teeth down on his neck, biting down firm but not too hard, just enough to make Ste groan contently.

Brendan kept the movements continuous. He took his nails over his nipples slightly stinging pleasure, which shot round his body like electricity, Ste jolted with the feel of it.

"Kiss me Bren" Ste breathed heavy at Brendan who didn't break their stare in the mirror, they both watched as their lips kissed sideways and tongues lapped at each others mouth.

Brendan removed Ste's boxers as he wrapped his hands around his pert arse cheeks he squeezed them in his palms.

Both their eyes wide on each other like a craving they couldn't quench. Brendan put up his hand and took his tongue over his palm suggestively to Ste watching, as he moved down with it to his cock, his slick palm moved over him effortlessly. Brendan stroked Ste over and over not breaking his gaze.

"Watch what I do to you, making you hard is so easy Steven" Brendan growled in his ear. Ste's moans were getting louder as he was so turned on watching the man he loved make him fall apart in his arms.

Ste needed to touch Brendan too; he pushed down his boxers moving his hands to Brendan's hips behind him. He soaped up his palms and rubbed them together, moving his arms around he grabbed Brendan's hard cock in one hand and balls in the other.

He started to smear the soap on him, his fist moving over him, wetting him; he was pumping his cock relentless and teasing his fingers on his balls.
They stayed this way for the longest time they could, watching how they both made each other breathless.

Their bodies were now rocking together, keening so hard.
"Keep your eyes open Bren, I want you to watch as I make you come so hard for me"

They moved with each other in rhythm now, back and forth grinding until they started to tremble as they both came together, heavy breathing and moaning. Never once closing their eyes.

They had all been asleep a couple of hours, a strange black mist appeared downstairs. There was a menacing noise coming from it as it moved up the staircase.

In Cheryl and Nate's room the hinge on the window began to move, creaking. They didn't move though. Then an old TV in the corner of the room flickered on, white noise screeched though the bedroom, waking them both up.

"Nate, Nate! What's that?" Cheryl spoke as she was faced with a horror at the bottom of the bed. The black mist swirled in mid air not moving but made a weird deep tone. It stared at Cheryl or so she thought.

Nate woke as he too saw it, it moved slowly towards them as they watched it pass between them and go through the wall.

"What the fuck was that?!" Nate asked shaking.
"Dunno babe, but I've tried pinching myself and still haven't woken up!

"Oh my god, it's headed towards Bren and Ste's room!"

Something woke Ste,he yawned as he stretched to find his phone. The light from it blinded him as he tried to check the time,blinking trying to focus his eyes on the painful light.

"3am" He sighed.

He looked over at Brendan who was sound asleep. He moved his hand gently over Brendan's shoulder, lent down and gave him a chased kiss there.

Suddenly a loud banging made him jump,it was Cheryl and Nate screaming through the door.

"It's coming,wake up! Ste,Brendan,get out quickly!" Ste heard them are their cries muffled through the doors thick wood.

"Jeez,what are they playing at?" Groaned a sleepy Brendan as he stirred from his dream.

"Bren.."

"Chez,it's the middle of the night! Brendan shouted.

"Bren..."

"Go away and leave us to sleep!" He groaned

"Bren...!"

"Bloody women,I was having a great dream then too,typical,waking me up..." Brendan was now mumbling trying to fall asleep again. All the while Nate and Cheryl were hammering on the bedroom door.

"BRENDAN!"

Stevens voice woke him, his voice that of fear. He turned to look at him, and saw Ste looking into the room. The light from his phone lay on the sheets but cast enough light for Brendan to see his eyes were wide.

Brendan's breathing began to falter as he turned to look to the room. There was a black mass, near the end of the room, but you could still see it in the darkness of the room because of its movement, swirling in mid air, the noises it made were terrifying, as it moved towards them.

"MOVE!" Brendan exclaimed as he grabbed Ste and moved off the bed. They watched as the black mass moved through their bed and into the wall.

"Wha, what was it?" Ste asked not able to stop his legs from giving way.

"I don't know, but I didn't bloody like it!" Brendan answered now picking Ste back up and hugging him to his chest.

"BREN! Will you let us in!" Cheryl kicked hard at the door, as Brendan opened it.

"Something vexes thee?" Brendan asked seeing his sister terribly flustered.

"Something vexes...What? You being sarky?! Like this is the time for that! There's a dark swirly effigy wandering through our bloody walls here!" Cheryl ran out of breath, and turned a deep red colour.

"Erm, yes, well calm down love" Nate stoked Cheryl's arm.

"Did you see it too? Asked Nate calmly.

"See it? It came at us! What is going on in here?" Ste said as he started pacing the hall.

"Where's my bloody phone" Cheryl spoke annoyed

"Who ye gonna call?" Brendan couldn't resist.

Cheryl took her backhand to Brendan.

"Funny fucker ain't ya,I was going to call the police or somet,I dunno" Cheryl sobbed slightly.

"I'm sorry sis,no more joking,but the cops ain't ghostbusters are they?" Brendan smirked under his hand then coughed to mask it.

"Well we need to do something" Nate said.

"Great,thanks Nate,words of wisdom as ever" Ste snapped after having enough. He was tired and grumpy.

"I'm gonna make some coffee,no way I'm sleeping with that flyin whatsit around"

Ste turned to walk downstairs as the others followed.

The black mass had appeared again at the study door,watching them leave.
