Chapter 1: A Close Call and Realizations

After seeing my grandmother and with the necklace, I realized it then, the necklace was my birthrite, as it hit me then. As I turned back around and walked to the front of the stairs and shouted it out then. "Hugh Craine!" I called out then sternly as I waited for a response then as I went down the stairs, before shouting it out a second time then. "Hugh Craine!" I called out again then as I walked passed several statues as I heard it.

"The doors, Eleanor." I heard and as they said it gently. "Bring him to the doors." they said and I slowly turned around. "This is what my mother had done and it triggered a decline in her health?" I asked and one of them, a boy nodded to me. "Luke, you will be avenged my brother, I promise." I thought softly as the boy statue said it to me gently. "The doors, Eleanor. The doors." he said gently as I shouted it one more time then.

"Hugh Craine!" I called out, before I heard a growl say it. "Eleanor." I heard and turned around as the painting shot upright and then a phantasm shot out of it. As the slow building wind started picking up then as I heard a fast shout out to me then. "Nell!" I heard and saw my boyfriend David Marrow and best friend Theodora Wilcox. "Nell! What happened?" she asked as they ran to me as I felt relief at seeing them then.

"Where were you?" she asked and he quickly went to the next question then. "Eleanor, are you all right?" he asked and just as I was answering him then, Craine rushed us and I quickly got in front of them then. "No!" I said as I went to a face off with him then. "You leave them alone!" I said as I said it firmly. "I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid of you." I said and Dave looked at me quickly, seeing the look in his eyes then gently.

I knew I was likely not going to survive what I was about to do if it killed my mother in the end, I knew it was going to kill me, but dying to protect my loved ones. And after losing one piece off 5 pieces of my new life this was going to be worth it now, as I made my declaration. 'I love you Dave, you are my everything, this week of peace, this was worth what was coming. I will always love you.' I thought gently at this as I said it then.

"The children need me, and I'm gonna set them free!" I sais and he shouted it out at that remark. "No..." he snarled at me then and I said it sternly. "Even in death, you still
wouldn't let them go!" I said and Dave said it quickly at the next growl as they quickly moved behind and around me. "Eleanor, move away, move away!" he said quickly to me at that as I heard a desperate tone start to enter his voice then as I said it then firmly.

"I'm gonna stop you now." I said and Craine's wrath triggered a hurricane level wind to start up as Dave shouted it out to me then. "Eleanor, don't!" he said desperately to me as he said it over the wind then as they huddled together then. "Don't do it, Eleanor, he's gonna kill you!" he said as I heard several roars and screeches as the statues all came to life as I slowly backed up as I said it then firmly as I knew one of those children.

Was likely my uncle then. "It's not about them, it's about family." I said backing up slowly as I knew he was too angry to realize I was leading him into a trap. "It's always been about family, it's about Caroline... and the children from the mills, so you could hear their voices... family." I said and then said it sternly at this then. "Well, I'm family, Grandpa, and I've come home." I said and he shouted it out in denial then at that remark then.

"No, you're not!" he snarled and I said it firmly as I got directly in front of the doors then as I said it then. "Now, it's just you and me, Hugh Craine, the purgatory's over. You go to hell!" I said as Theo shouted it out to me then." Stay with us, Nell!" she said over the howling wind as the demons grabbed him and yanked him in. "No!" he screamed as they pulled him into as I closed my eyes as the blast struck me then.

As that did it as they lowered me to the floor and I landed hard as I tried to stay awake as he tried to get out of the doors with a scream then. "No!" he screamed as the one hanging onto him shoved him into position, his mouth open in a scream of fright then, as I saw the souls of the children trapped in the doors as I heard a happy responses. "Thank you, Eleanor" "Thank you, Eleanor", "Thank you, Eleanor."

"Thank you." "Thanks, Eleanor." "Thank you, Eleanor." "Thank you." "Thank you..." As I closed my eyes as I felt my heart stop as everything went black then...

Two Weeks Prior-Theo's POV:

Coming to out of the shock of watching what was left of my quartet die, I looked at my psychiatrist, before everything went black as I came to in my apartment. And checked the date. "Theo, you coming or what?!" I heard and I sighed. "No you guys go ahead, I'm sorry guys, but I'm leaving, I need a quieter life, Rick, I'm sorry, but this is goodbye." I said and I knew he was feeling his heart break as he answered me then softly then.

"Another man?" he asked and I shook my head. "My childhood best friend, her sister and brother in law are getting ready to evict her from her apartment. I'm going to Boston to help her make arrangements, her name is Nell Vance, she needs me right now." I said and he nodded in understanding. "Well take care, if you ever want to come back, I'll be waiting." he said and I nodded as I gave him a hug goodbye then as they left.

As I looked at a picture of me, Nell and Luke with smiles on our faces and grinned as I saw a woman of 56 standing next to me at my graduation. When we were kids 9 years prior as I saw the date as May 23, 1990 and I was 31 now and Luke with me. And smiled as I realized it then. "Becky, what did you do if I found that exactly, alright time for by play to see what I don't remember to what I do right now." I said out loud gently then.

"I can't tell him the truth, he'd never believe me right now, alright time to pack up and go right now." I thought gently as the phone went off. "Theo?" I heard and smiled in delighted relief. "Nell is that you?!" I asked and heard a smile in her tone "Hey, yeah I'm fine right now, we just got shot two weeks into the past right now. All four of us, remember when I said that the Websters were taking the apartment."

"From me?" she asked and I nodded sternly. "Was that today?" I asked and I heard a gentle tone. "Yeah that's today, the conversation Luke possibly over heard." she told me gently and I nodded. "Give me 20 minutes and I'll be there in 4 years right now, I took a guess and guessed right at the moment. That you were going to need help in packing and told this to my ex now." I said to her and heard a gentle smile then to that.

"You'll be here in 4 hours, okay got it, just head straight for the hospital, ask for Malcolm Keough and tell him who you are right now. My department office is the parapsychology department, lead by him now, I'm taking mom's place on his team right now." she told me and I thought it over and then realized it in what she meant, with us about to go up to the house the following week then at the remark.

"David said a study in group fear and hysteria, so your combining your own model into his so where this is half correct and making it, so we know. In advance, before we have repeat and see him, Craine, from your perspective finally?" I said to clarify and knew she nodded then. "Yeah, meaning I'm combining my model into his right now in all truth, I was working on sleep deprivation here, when under isolation."

"Which is now combined into his model of fear studies right now, but if I was completely active, I would be doing this in the week before. And leading into Halloween now in truth and inside a haunted house." She said and I nodded as I answered her with a bemused smile in my tone then. "Just can't get enough of this kind of this thing, can you?" I asked her and she said it with a laugh then gently at that.

"Yeah I love this job, but at times, there's always a downside and what happened next week is said downside right now, I'll explain further later." she told me and I nodded. "Alright I'm packing up and I'll be there in a few hours." I told her and knew she nodded. "Alright see you soon." she told me and I said it. "I'm just relieved I didn't lose you for good, but together forever." I said and heard a gentle smile.

"Yeah you to, you're my best friend, sisters, see you." she said and I nodded smiling. "Bye." I said and heard a smile in her tone. "Bye." she said to me and I hung it up then, as I got my stuff and loaded it into my car, as I grabbed the things I was going to keep and then headed for the manager's desk. "Hey Greg, I'm renting out my apartment in definitely right now, it's fully furnished, going for $900 a month."

"Or $10,000 if anyone wants to buy it right now." I said and he nodded as I passed him my key then as I got in my car and headed for Boston to see my friends then, knowing what was coming the following week, and we had to make some changes before what happened. Would now happen again, as I wasn't losing my friends twice on this trip...

Two Weeks Prior-Luke's POV:

After seeing the lion head coming at me, I felt my entire life flash before my eyes, before I blacked out, coming too, I saw I was in my pick up truck and outside of a red bricked building as I heard a fight start heating up then from inside the apartment. As the woman in the apartment signaled me and I gave a nod to her gently. Before a minute later a tap came over my radio frequency at that gently as I heard a question.

'Luke, is that you below my window?' I read gently, reading out the question to me and I tapped a 'yes' to her, before she turned it on full as a second later. As I heard an annoyed tone come over the radio frequency of another female voice then. Before hearing a furious shout and then I realized I knew that voice. 'Unpleasant details, what have I been dealing with the last 11 years?!', ' Yeah and to paraphrase that remark right now here now.'

'Is, 'I want to know right now, who wrote this, did you write this Theo, how dare you accuse me of writing this, just what are you talking about?!' I thought, knowing that tone immediately as the beyond furious tone of accusations here. And counter accusations right now then. 'Yeah, yeah I know that tone alright, Nell, is that really you, but then..., oh my god. I just been sent back to two weeks before before our trip to the house.'

'So if I'm here and she's possibly here, then that means we can fix this and make it so she's got us, Mary and Todd with her now and forever here now. Okay, I just need to get her attention after that fight.' I thought sternly as I got out of my truck and walked to the back of her apartment. As the door opened and I saw a man and a 7 year old kid and crossed my arms. "Just what the heck was that?" I asked sternly and he looked at me.

"Who the heck are you?" he asked and I said it. "Luke Sanderson, I'm a friend from work right now Webster, if that is your name, just so you know. She and I are the best of friends, if she had friends in high school to college. Then I'm the other side of my counterpart's personality, but who do I remind you of Jane, familiar?" I asked sternly and she paled. "Tony Hancock?" she asked and I shook my head sternly at that question.

"No if Hancock is her version of me, from high school, I'm a friend at the hospital right now, if your mother knew a thing or 2 on parapsychology and psychology. Well that exeriment the psychiatrist connected to her boyfriend is connected to why I dropped in. To check on her and funnily enough I arrive in time for said argument between you, but did it ever cross your mind, this is exactly what Becky wants you to do right now."

"Take advantage of the will if you want, because we'll be the ones laughing that while we get the lion's share, you see what it's like now." I said and they quickly went downstairs then as I moved to the door gently as I smiled in relief to see my best female friend finally...

Two Weeks Prior-Marrow's POV:

Feeling my heart break at the loss of the woman I loved, I looked at what the last piece to my group, before blacking out as I heard it then. As I heard the voice of my assistant, and looked directly at her, saw no laceration across her eye. And hid a smile of relief then as I realized I got shoved two weeks into the past then quickly. 'This is the week prior to the trip, she and Luke are alive okay, we just fix it now.' I thought as I look it over then.

As I prepared for the trip I stood against my desk as I looked at her photo I felt an inkling of something changing in me. As I read her file and saw that everything her medical doctor put down translated to her being very sensitive. But kind, courageous and true and looking at the picture of the love of my life I knew I had to change it. As I was in the office I heard Mary explaining her suggestion of what to look for in this project.

As I felt something in my pocket and pulled it out and found a key there, with two initials on it and a heart then on a piece of post it paper. That was cut to fit the gripping portion of the key and smiled as I got it then as I thought it gently. 'Eleanor created me a key to the apartment right now in this version of our lives now. And she and I are close to getting married, okay so make the alibi sound good.' I thought as I listened to her then.

"Here's how they're organized, the groups have very different personalities, scored over the Kiersey temperament sorter. Just like you asked for, and they all score very high on the insomnia charts." she said as I read through Eleanor's file. "Well what a beautiful profile, a classic dependent personality disorder. However we are looking at suggestible." I said and she answered with a firm look on her face at that.

"Her mother died two months ago, she really wants to do this." she said and sighed. "I know Becky is gone and she needs a lot of support right now, but I got another catch. I got to be worried about." I told her and she nodded. "What exactly?" she asked and I crossed my arms. "After the probate closes, Jane and Lou are selling the apartment, we got only six weeks to make new living arrangements here." I told her and she nodded.

"And?" she asked and I smiled. "I'm her boyfriend, she's the reason I changed this quickly, Mary, she's everything to me, but the trio involved. Well she needs something to take her mind off the probate right now, but she's moving in with me. After we get back from Concord later in all truth, the house is their maternal family home. She told me everything in advance, this was her idea." I said and she chuckled at thet news then.

"There may be more than one reason for her wanting to get involved, but I think she needs a week away from Boston right now." she said and I nodded to that. "What are your feelings Mary, tell me what your intuitions say?" I asked and she hid a smile as she answered me. "I put my favorites on top here David, but of ten candidates for it, the four are on the top of the list and she's one of them." she said and I nodded to that.

As I looked at the trio's profiles, since number four was a friend of ours and read through it. "What else we got here, low self esteem, high narcissism, chronic feeling of emptiness, identity disturbance, good, good, very good." I said and she yanked a picture of this house out. "She's changed alot since we met and she's everything I wanted in a girlfriend, but this trip is big thing, her mother left us the house right now in truth."

"But she sees me as a son in law, I'm family Lou isn't." I said and she nodded smiling she got a better look at the house then gently. "Is this where we're going?" she asked and I smiled. "It's Hill House, it's perfect, isn't?" I asked and she looked at me and she nodded gently then at that. "Hey Dana, Jenny, Tony, we need to talk." I said into the intercom and the trio walked into the room and she said it smiling then at the remark.

"What's going on Dave?" she asked and I chuckled. "Did Becky ever take you guys to the house?" I asked and they smiled. "We know 3/4's of the history here on Hill House, but what caused the heart attack and triple bypass, we don't." Tony Roberston said to me and I nodded sternly. "That's the reason, something caused that heart atack, and Eleanor and I are looking into this, but you know the house belongs to her right now in truth."

"But research on the house history, but Eleanor's descended from his second wife." I said and the trio nodded. "The necklace, it was a family heirloom?" Dana Keough asked and I nodded. "Yeah better learning this Intel from her parents or just her extended family in Concord then on her own. But this lunatic, if he's haunting the house, knows she has the necklace, she's about to do whatever Becky did." I said and they nodded then firmly.

As she passed me a bit of intel. "This is her family tree from his second wife down?" I asked her and she nodded to me. "Yeah I knew this for 26 years, Becky's my godmother, so extended family, she's my sister." she told me and I noddd. "I already figured this out right now, she loves the paranormal, her mother is parapsychologist. As to that, so what happens here is going to be a big distraction right now for her in truth right now."

"But she and I had a chance to talk beforehand, when setting this up, but the reason you haven't met her yet is I been spending my evenings with her and Becky lately." I said and she nodded smiling gently, realizing the cover story I was telling her was working. And till I broke the news to Malcolm I knew we were working though our cover stories, I knew we had a chance to be normal with each other now at the moment as I said it then.

"In addition to going up there for this project, it's an investigation to see what caused Becky's triple bypass and we're going to see her godparents, who are the wife. And of caretaker and her godfather is the town police chief, her parents have friends. All over the 911 areas and the town high judge here, so she's really close to all of them. Going to Concord to visit family, and spend a few weeks there." I said and she smiled at that.

After going to my boss, I knew he was going to run a debate on this as my research had shifted to areas of different phobias and fear. "Malcolm listen to me a second here right now, it's not about the project, Eleanor needs something right now. Just to take her mind off the probate, so I think she needs a few weeks out of town right now. Just to take her mind off depression, she said she's still hearing Becky." I said and he nodded gently then.

As he answered me gently at thst remark and this was information that was needed then as we started going over it. "The Hill House project..." he started to say and I interrupted him. "It's absolutely essential to my research Malcolm." I said and he sighed. "Just listen to me, I grant you fear and performance is a big sexy idea, but as chairman And of this department, I can't." he started and I explained it as I answered him at that gently.

As I said it to him. "Malcolm I know you clinical guys don't like to ask this question, but think about it, what is fear anyway. It's a series of automatic responses characterized increased heartrate, respitory activity and adrenaline function. The only problem with fear with is that is has largely become inappropriate and non adaptive. Do sweaty palms help to talk to your boss, does a raising pulse help some kid score on a SAT."

"And yet we carry these responses that do the opposite of what they're attended to do, so why is that?" I said and he smiled as he answered me. "David, no one is saying these aren't proactive questions, but you can't run this research ethically. Or responsibly and on top of that you're bringing your insomnia a to this house on false pretenses." he said and I answered that as I gave my cover story then as I went into that well.

"Because the experiment needs a credible cover story, calling it an insomnia study allows me to provide an environment to Investigate the dynamics of fear. You don't just tell the rats they're actually in a maze Malcolm, come on." I said and he nodded to that as he answered me at the remark then as he said it firmly. "It's fine, we decided to to tell the group beforehand right now, but remember she and I called Mary, Luke and Todd over."

"Team meeting last night, you know I practically live at the apartment these days and Lou and Jane don't realize I'm the real executor of the family fortune." I said and he nodded smiling. "Yeah I remember that line in the will, 'The executor shall have the right to dispose of any and all personal property as he shall see fit.'. And you're the real executor right now as you're preparing for this trip they try it, they blow every dime."

"That Becky left them and the lion's share goes to us and the girls, but I'm the adopted family and you're my brother-in-law." he told me and I nodded smiling then. "I'm monitoring things on the apartment, while you guys are out of town. Alrigh so what's the plan here?" he asked me gently and I smiled. "Eleanor has that side of it, I got the other, but she and I combining our models together." I explained and he nodded to me then

"Nell, she and you chose her house here for this experiment?" he repeated and I nodded to him. "With Becky out of commssion, she took her place and deciding to put her own studies to work. And left me the picture of the house, but we spent the last 6 weeks, since Becky passed working on this now." I said and he nodded. "She aso needs a couple weeks away from Boston with the probate geting started right now, so I decided on this."

"She needs this right now, a chance to unwind and she deserves a chance to put her thesis to use, so we decided on this and the house was left to us. I'm the approved son in law in Becky's eyes, but Becky, Eleanor I were discusing putting her house. As the place for the project, but what better time to do this, but mid October. And at a haunted house right now, she told me the place is haunted." I said and he chuckled at that remark then.

"God you guys, you got to take it easy, before you scare someone out of their wits." I heard and we both started laughing. "Issues with the jump scares, you know that house is haunted right now, but you know Eleanor, she loves the supernatural." I said and everyone listening into our conversation nodded smiling. "Alright, but if there's trouble, more serious than a injury, I want you to drop the act and tell them the truth here."

"Considering your role as a psychiatrist studying both, you better use everything piece of medical training you can. Just in case of trouble, because I heard faint rumors that house is haunted, who'd you choose exactly?" he asked and I explained that to him. "Yeah that and Rebecca supplied us with everything we need, medically, in triage till I get the paramedics." I said and he nodded. "Lucky she's a doctor, huh?" he asked and I nodded smiling gently.

"Yeah no kidding right now, we can use what her mother left us in medical supplies and bringing the radio along to call for emergency medical services. If my phone gets destroyed, so we got all the bases covered here now, with us in parapsychology." I said smiling and he nodded gently. "Just what was decided on if you guys decided on this and who do we got aside from Nell?" he asked me and I smiled as I answered him then as the quartet and his wife crossed their arms.

"Aside from Todd, Theodora Wilcox, Luke Sanderson and Eleanor, she's with me on it, at the current moment, but she and I planned this out in advance right now. But Becky told us in a few bits needed here right now, if the bastard is still haunting the house. Then he knows right now, with us there for the next week to 3 right now in truth. We're about to unlock in why the hell Becky had that bypass in the first place right now in truth here."

"She and I, we need a break from the Websters right now, but she and I preparing for the next stage up, Becky left us the money to pay for the wedding right now. But four from both personalities, the house looks like it's going to give some interesting pieces of art. And architecture and everything the trio would prefer and other areas as well, but that sums it up." I said and he nodded that as he smiled gently at that remark then.

"Answering the final question to why she had to retire, she and I've known each other for 18 years, Dana's her god daughter, she's my adopted mother in law." he told me and I nodded gently. "Yeah exactly right now, but Eleanor and I think that the remarks are really reverse psychology right now. But she and I both knew that she sees me as the good one, Webster as the reject, and if Rob was alive, he would to right now in truth."

"I was the one she's been seeing the last 10 months so though we never told you this yet, not yet right now, I've been seeing her every night. And for the last 18 months to 2 years, this was the catch, so though we're collegues here now. To us is more then that right now." I said and she shook her head smiling. "I knew something was up, but every time she brings you up, I hear a smile in her tone." she said and he nodded gently then.

"Considering I've taken that course as well and as you said this was the basis, fear and performance, or more accurately a parapsychology study of a haunted house while living inside it for a week, she reads the fine print, she's not going to care. Especially if I have to tell her the truth, because she's going to realize that I just gave her a shot. Just to put whatever Craine taught her to use finally, because if she tells me here now in truth."

"To what it was that she was studying that's enough to determine whatever theories they created about the house. Then again she told me her maternal side was descended from a madman, but how man is the next question. She also said that her grandmother, maternal side now is carrying an interesting power to see to the other side. So her knowledge of the house can be helpful now, but Becky is going to be happy we did this."

"Though if this was rigged in advance by Becky herself, it just brought me into her life finally, I'm probably what she needs most right now, not just as a psychiatrist, I'm her exact match probably and with that if I'm who she was waiting for it means that Craine decided to bring us together for this by getting me into her life finally when she needs a change of scenery the most right now." I told him and he chuckled as he answered me.

"That's too late for that, she called me, she's getting involved here at the office, she wants to talk to you personally right now. I heard a tone of love in her voice when it comes to you, something you need to tell me here?" he asked and I chuckled. "I'm her boyfriend, you knew she was seeing someone all this time leading into Becky's passing. Well I am that someone, we've been together for 9 months right now in truth here."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of her, you have my word, I'll never break her heart, Dana and she are sisters, so you're my new brother in law, alright that's fine. In truth I'd rather have you then Webster right now that bastard crossed the wrong man. He shouldn't have here right now, but he's a lawyer, we're psychiatrists, connected right to the cops." I said and he smiled sternly as we ended it at that as I got back to my office in time now.

To see Theo there as she moved to me and hugged me. "Hey, you okay?" I asked her gently and she nodded. "I think the four of us got shot 2 weeks into the past, so better prepared and we know what we're looking at here right now. Time to call them up right now in truth, if Luke was in Boston at the time, he knew a bit on the man." she said and I grabbed the phone and dialed her number and waited for it to pick up and then did.

"Yeah!" he said into the phone and smiled in relief. "Luke, is that you?" I asked to him and he said it with a relieved smile in his voice. "Dave, yeah it's me, looks like her parents shoved us two weeks into the past, so we can do it all over again right now. So we fix the first night to prevent her from getting hurt and it's six of us now." he said and I nodded as I answered him as she smiled in relief and delight.

"We prevent her from touching the strand that broke and that keeps the 6 of us together for the rest of the week, but before we go up there we need to bring the right equipment. And with it right now in truth is we got to pack up her apartment right now, with the fact she told us she has no where to go." I said and knew he nodded. "Yeah, yeah, I got it right now, we're all in and we stick it out together right now, yeah okay got it."

"Hang on." he said and I knew he passed her the phone "Hey honey, you guys alright?" she asked me and I sighed in relief as I heard her voice in delighted relief I had a chance to fix things "We're okay, but your heart stopped after you did that, I'm just relieved that your parents reset the next two weeks, where is the apartment. I'm coming to you, and Theo with me right now." I said and knew she nodded then gently at that.

"I live in the red brick building, two blocks over from the hospital, but if you run into them in the driveway, make it clear, you're my boyfriend. And best friend and my surrogate brother, is in the apartment with me." she said I smiled then gently. "Alright I'll be there in 15 minutes, she's coming with me." I told her and knew she nodded as we hung it up then and we left the office then as I spotted someone.

Downstairs in the driveway. "Hey who the hell are you exactly?" Theo said sternly and he looked at us. "Jane and Lou Lance Webster?" I asked and they nodded. "We are and who the hell are you guys if you know who are we here?" he asked and she pointed at their son. "Uh excuse me little pitchers here, your son's 6 to 7 watch it, before he says that in front of his class and gets in trouble for it." she said sternly and I nodded sternly then.

"This is Theo Wilcox and I'm Dr. David Marrow Lou, I suppose you know my co-hart, Dr. Malcolm Keough?" I asked and he paled. "I'll take that reaction for a yes at the moment, alright with that in mind now. Just so you know, you ever lay a hand on her, or again and I will have you jailed for the rest of your life." I said coldly and he swallowed hard. "But she and I are collegues at the hospital, I work your mother's department, Jane."

"Before she got sick right now in truth here, you know she's a parapsychologist, running parapsychology and psychology, Eleanor's got one, I got the other. But try to take the apartment to sell it while we're gone, just consider what goes around, comes around. But like she said when it has words you never hear used in this decade, pay attention. As for all you know that could be a psychological trap." I said sternly and they swallowed hard.

At that news then. "Where are you going?" he asked and I crossed my arms as I said it. "There's more in that will then just the apartment then stated, way more, but trying to steal the apartment to sel it like this, it could just be. In what your parents want you to do, her mother is a psychiatrist or did you forget that on purpose, Jane. This is reverse psychology, think that over before doing anything." I said and ended it at that remark.

"Which one is it?" Theo asked and she pointed at the one right above us and I nodded as we headed up there then gently...

Two Weeks Prior-Nell's POV:

"Nell, Nell, are you paying attention to me, now I am trying to tell you we can't afford to keep you here any longer, you already owe two months worth of back rent." I heard and I immediately responded to that remark, knowing where my decision was going to lead. For me and knowing where I was right then to know I threw her out of my apartment I had someone posing as my boyfriend calling me in 15 minutes directly after this then.

Before looking out the window and saw a pick up truck, before seeing a man dressed in blue shirt with yellow etches. 'That's like what Luke was dressed in when we all arrived at the house that day.' I thought gently as I signaled the driver and he signaled back to me, keeping my back to Jane I pulled a radio out of the drawer and turned it on 2 and went through each frequency and tapped, before I got a response at the third gently.

'Luke if you're here right now, listen closely to this right now.' I thought as I looked at the will and underlined two things twice and nodded sternly. "You really that stupid, or did you forget this part on purpose Jane, mom always paid 6 months ahead on the lease. She did that, before she passed, giving me exactly 6 months to get my affairs in order." I told her and her husband paled, not realizing my mother always did things in 3 while I was growing up at the time.

"As such right now, I have enough time, but I'm putting the apartment up for rent, but my next job just activated, at the hospital." I said and they both paled at that. "Mom and dad are descended from a couple hundred quintillion rich lords, you two. Mom made the arrangements before she passed two months ago I know that right now in truth. So just who are you guys kidding right now exactly, Jane, huh, but this in truth was already prepped here now."

"Mom already paid 5 months in advance and all the utilities with it Jane, I got enough time to get my affairs in order. But I'm getting a job at mom's old office at the hospital, so why are you saying I owe two months. Now worth of back rent, when the rent was already paid for 5 months in advance, she left me the money. So I can properly prepare for this, but the apartment is in her and my names, so no, not going to happen now."

"It's mine, and you're not taking it away." I told her sternly at that remark as I picked up the dishes and walked into my kitchen then. "Read the will Neill, it states in plain language, 'The executor shall have the right to dispose of any and all personal property as he shall see fit.'." she said and I answered that I pointed at her husband then. "He is not even real family." I said and my sister, Jane Webster, snapped at me at that remark.

"Yeah well maybe not, but clearly, Mother thought Lou would much better equipped to deal with these unpleasant details then you." she said and that did it. "Unpleasant details?, What I have been dealing with for the past 11 years? I cooked, I cleaned, I mopped up her urine, and you call that an unpleasant detail." I said to her sternly and then went further at that remark as I looked at her coolly then as I went on then.

"Just where the hell is your brain right now, I'm not the one who got married to a loser and had an illegiminate child here. The only reason mom cut you out of the will, said is because he's not real family, to her or to me." I said, and they both said it once, realizing they crossed the line at my remark then. "Hey your sister didn't write the will." he said to me then at that as her voice spoke over his at that remark then gently then.

"We all know what you done, but we're trying to help." she said and I said it forcefully, as I decided to pretend, knowing if my friend and surrogate brother Luke Sanderson was listening he heard it as I said it. "Do not help me right now, you never read that clearly enough though, you realize her words are words. Ones that haven't been used in 90 years, not since the turn of the century right now in truth here, you two, listen to me."

"That is not a suggestion but a question, do so and blow every dime in that will that mom has left you. I know her and dad better then you do, as she and I were living together for the last 11 years. Or is this revenge for the fact she doted on me, and I was her favorite now." I said, knowing my mother's spirit was listening to the entire conversation, just as she was answering her son knocked one of my mother's favorite figurines off the tv.

"Oh Richie, just go sit on the couch." she told him and Lou said to me. "Anyway once probate closes, we can put this apartment on the market, and we all might be able to make a few bucks." he said and Jane said it as she hold up a set of keys. "Also we know how much you love mom's car so we're giving it to you." she said to me. "You're taking my home and giving me a 20 year old car." I said in shocked disbelief at that news then.

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 said it it forcefully "Who are you, do you understand that I have no where to go." I said with a warning tone then and I watched her 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 my mother's cane. "Eleanor help me, I gotta pee." he sneered and I thought it with a stern growl. 'Shut up, you little brat." I thought as Lou said it sternly. "Richie not now!" he said as I came to a decision. "Forget it, I got a place to stay anyway and said is with my boyfriend, but just think over what I told you, if you run into him outside."

"But my quartet should be here any minute right now, so though you're possibly right you ever consider that the judge handling this is not from Boston. But from our family's place of origin Jane, but the remarks 'shall have the right' 'as he shall see fit.'. Now why would that be in there, you ever read those books they match the language. Now of the colonial age, said age is the civil war." I said sternly and then said it to them then firmly.

"Trading places move here you two, you're just digging yourselves into a heap of legal and financial trouble. Get out of my home." I said and he stood up. "Well suit yourself, we'll let the courts handle it." he said and I said it again sternly. "Get out of my home." I repeated with a warning tone in my voice and she quickly pulled her son to her father. "Follow daddy." she said to him and she looked up at me as she pulled her purse on.

As I heard the final remark. "Come live with us Nell, you have no idea how hard it is out there." she said and I 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." I said coldly and my sister left at that remark. "Okay, now that that's over with right now, I can be the me that my friends know again now." I thought smiling sternly then.

"Hey mom, I got it right don't I, not a suggestion, but a question, when you have words in there that haven't been heard and since the civil war." I asked and a message in my mother's handwriting wrote itself out at that. "Yeah baby, that's it exactly, you know, because you're like me, a psychiatrist. But it's reverse psychology, it always was now in truth, you and Dave own the apartment." I read to myself and shook my head smiling at that.

"So why bring us back two weeks to just prior to the trip to the house, if this was to get me ready for what your leaving me the necklace was to prepare me for?" I asked and a second message wrote itself out with a gentle smile then. "To get the necessary supplies and preparations here, this was a catch 22 fact that they never knew. Both on selling the apartment, you already had the money now, you cam do this, in truth here."

"But I never left you, I always been here, just pack up our stuff and you can take your father's AM/FM radio with you and use it to alert Jared. And the fire department the following morning for medical emergency that you're incoming. But they try to sell the apartment with you gone this long and they lose every dime, in her side of the inheritence and only get 1/50th of that amount now."

"The lion's share goes to you and Dana, the boys, and the added insurance policy goes to the the quartet." she said and I smiled. "Good to hear your voice again like this, in hand writing maybe, but good to hear your voice again. So I know you better then they do, I made that clear right now at the moment. This is going to be long month, but I'm going to call your friends, before we do this." I said and a smile entered the next.

"Good that's exactly what you should do, some of the house is getting old, and Luke needs to get the staircase bolted to the floor. And before David goes up there, but Renee is not your blood, Caroline is. But we're descended from her side of the family, the C stands for Caroline, baby girl. Just remember now, he maybe your grandfather, but you are nothing like him, Eleanor, Ellie."

"My baby, you have my gift, this is your birthrite, you can live through the blast if you have the right gear. I wasn't as young as I used to be and I did it when I was 51, you are much younger then me. And have a better chance, it's going to be okay, but Andrew and his friends are the next group to be released. But Hugh is back on the loose, be careful and mind the booby traps, my baby girl."

"Remember what I taught you and explain the added details to David right now, but the cover story is working." she said and I nodded firmly then. "Should I take your medical equipment, now that your time is over?" I asked and a stern message wrote itself out. "Yes, bring my hospital equipment along, you're going to need it right now, in case he hit an artery and you got everything you need here now."

"So to take the edge off the pain, adrenaline and everything else, you got what you needed right now now." she said and I nodded firmly as I checked the bottles from what I was giving her as I looked through each one and pulled out a medical bag. And loaded it with more gauze bandages, the drugs I was taking along, and carefully set this up. Just so I knew what I needed as I got ready for my friends to show up then gently

After the fight as I was getting ready to handle it. "Theo, hey, yeah I'm fine right now, we just got shot two weeks into the past right now. All four of us, remember when I said that the Websters were taking the apartment from me. Yeah that's today, the conversation Luke possibly over heard, you'll be here in 4 hours, okay got it. Just head straight for the hospital, ask for Malcolm Keough and tell him who you are right now."

"My department office is the parapsychology department, lead by him now, I'm taking mom's place on his team right now. Yeah meaning I'm combining my model into his right now in all truth, I was working on sleep deprivation here. When under isolation, which is now combined into his model of fear studies right now. But if I was completely active, I would be doing this in the week before and leading into Halloween now in truth."

"And inside a haunted house." I said and then started laughing as I answered her then. "Yeah I love this job, but at times, there's always a downside and what happened next week is said downside right now, I'll explain further later. Alright see you soon, yeah you to, you're my best friend, sisters, see you, bye." I said to her and hung it up then, before dialing the number to my adoptive sister's husband there at the office then gently then.

"Hey Malcolm, yeah it's me, listen could you call Dave Marrow, I need to talk to him, please, Dave's project right now. Yeah, his science project on the house, I know where he's taking his test subjects, I'm signing up for it. That's my house, yeah, family ancestral home, I want out of town for a couple weeks to take my mind off it. And her passing here, yeah you know me, I love this type of thing right now, brother."

"Okay thanks, and tell Dana I'm coming in tomorrow to arrange the legal agreements to prevent a lawsuit now." I said and nodded before there was a knock on the door and I heard a voice say it. "Nell, Nell, it's me, it's Luke!" he said and I quickly opened it. "Luke, boy am I glad to see you." I said and he gave me a hug then. "Where you end up after you came to?" I asked and he explained that to me as he took his coat off then gently.

"Same set as the day we met huh, I figured that was you right now." I said, looking at his blue shirt with yellow neck circles and the yellow insection of his coat then. 'Year or 2 younger, but still brother, god I thought I lost him for good and instead. It's Grandma and mom shoot us back two weeks to do it over again.' I thought and he nodded. "Yeah it was me, in that round I didn't know the extent or what they pulled, but I do now."

"Ended up in my truck and parked downstairs, after I came to, I heard your debate, before hearing your tone, the tone you used on us when you were asking us. In who put that on the painting now." he said and I nodded in relief. "So you were downstairs all this time, I looked out the window, and saw you there right now. You would know everything already, before I told this the Dave and Theo." I said and he nodded smiling then to me.

"Yeah I knew I was right, when like this I know your voice, in you telling me in what we're looking at right now, but whatever caused it before we saw it finally. That's the part that had Theo and me worried sick about you right now." he said and I nodded. "Well the reason is my power went berserk, but seeing how Renee killed herself, before. And you're going to kill him again when I tell you this, but if you noticed I was in pain here now."

"The reason is he hit me in the side and I think he nailed my uterus right now, though that's true and I suffered a triple bypass. And right after he killed you right now, but this scenario right now in truth, it went from Goosebumps and Slappy. To Poltergeist and A Nightmare on Elm Street concepts as he went all out to scare us out of the house. But to explain this as he never leaves me alone for long and with it partnered up with you."

"Dave never put that on the painting, but that far up, you need a ladder, so Slappy now and Craine is Slappy, Dave was the narrator. And he's trying to get us to point fingers at each other, but if cruel practical jokes don't work. It's scaring us out of house to get us out, but our window slammed shut." I said and he nodded. "The last thing I remember is you screaming at me to get down and blacked out." he told me and I nodded then gently.

"He killed you by the lion head Luke, I risked a showdown here now, to save Dave and Theo." I said and he nodded to me quickly then. "What's the date exactly?" he asked me and I said it. "Before I answer that, I take you heard all of that just now?" I asked and he nodded to me. "Yeah and I never heard you ever talk like that anyone before, then again we only had a week together, but I know your personality in and out now finally, Nell."

"So that's them huh, I see why you hate her and her family here." he said and I nodded as I looked at my surrogate brother. "It's two weeks prior, we can do it over again and shove it down her throat that mom took care of all three, the house belongs to me. Along with the entire family fortune!" I said and he smiled as he hugged me tightly then. "I know, but I remember everything that night with us together, my sister, I love you."

"But losing both of us at once, we got to..," he started to say and the phone went off. "Yeah!" he said into the phone and smiled in relief. "Dave, yeah it's me, looks like her parents shoved us two weeks into the past, so we can do it all over again right now. So we fix the first night to prevent her from getting hurt and it's six of us now. Yeah, yeah, I got it right now, we're all in and we stick it out together right now, yeah okay got it."

"Hang on." he said and passed me the phone. "Hey honey, you guys alright?" I asked and heard a sigh. 'Yeah the guilt was growing by the minute here right now, alright last time under false pretenses right now, this time we know in advance. And what kind of dangers there are in the house to know what we're at right now. Alright, in this case right now, it's leading to my telling them what I know.' I thought as he answered me gently.

"We're okay, but your heart stopped after you did that, I'm just relieved that your parents reset the next two weeks, where is the apartment. I'm coming to you, and Theo with me right now." he said and I nodded. "I live in the red brick building, two blocks over from the hospital, but if you run into them. Still in the driveway, make it clear, you're my boyfriend, and best friend and my surrogate brother."

"Is in the apartment with me." I said and heard a smile in his tone gently. "Alright I'll be there in 15 minutes, she's coming with me." he said and I nodded as I hung it up at that as I went to my photo albums and nodded smiling. "That's Caroline, my grandmother, I think she was like Tangina, so from her to my grandfather. That's Frederick, from him to Suzanne, my grandfather, mom to me, I'm the last of the line."

"In my side of the family, but mom chose out of the two of us, the necklace and the house, the family fortune belongs to me, all of it." I told him and he nodded gently as he looked at a picture of my parents and me. "A place for everything and everything in it's place, yeah nice saying and you got a good point, mam. Nice touch in decorating the house, this place is beautiful." he said smiling as he looked around then gently then.
