Alice and Jessica are in the haunted house alone. What could happen? Please review!
The large door was heavy, it took both of them to move it. Jessica fretted at having to move it again to close it behind them.
"Okay, let's slip out the back", said Jessica, she looked around in search of the back door. There was a lot of old furniture, fancy but hard to tell what decade or century they were made in. Creepy taxidermy and stone angels next to the huge walk-in fireplace like they were guarding it. Alice tugged at her hand.
"You're leaving?", she couldn't believe she was backing out and so soon.
"Alice, we can't spend four days here!", she stormed down the hall, holding tightly to her bag. Alice ran after her.
"But, what if they find out we left, don't you know what that would mean?"
"100 whacks for each of us, plus ten for each day we chickened out." She continued down the dark hallway, Alice expected to find a lit torch somewhere along the wall. The back door didn't look nearly as heavy, one iron latch, by the looks of it might not have been used much. She managed to pry the door open easily without Alice's help.
"Going somewhere?", both girls jumped, they weren't expecting Pricilla or her minions to be waiting for them to do that. "I expected this maybe from Brandon, but not you Stanley. You are a legacy after all."
"You told me it didn't matter who I was."
"Well, this does. Are you seriously going to walk out, you're such a pussy!"
"Hey!", Alice was ready to defend Jessica but Jessica put a hand on her shoulder, pushing her back just in case she felt the need to slap the bitch.
"Look, it might not be paradise but some times we'll be bringing you food and turning the power on with the old fusebox. We choose when to put it on."
Jessica sighed, "Fine, I'll stay."
"Me too!", Alice clung on to Jessica's hand.
Pricilla and the others laughed, "At least you'll have some company", she started to lead the others back to the van, "We'll give you two some alone time. We'll be checking up on you to see if you didn't bail or if you're still alive!", she said the last part creepily, shinning her flashlight up to her face. Jessica shut the door and locked it.
"Those bitches!", Alice shouted. Jessica never heard anything like that come out of Alice's mouth, she almost laughed at the way she said it, like she wanted to kill someone.
Alice could see the look on her face, weirded out, "Hey, there are sides to me you don't know."
"Well, I'm tired, I've got to find a room", Alice followed behind her, they walked up the spiral staircase, each step creaking as they got closer to the top. Jessica was irritated by just how close ALice was behind her, she could feel her breathing on the back of her neck. "Could you please stop that?"
"Stop what?"
"That."
Alice couldn't figure her out some times, Jessica just seemed to get bothered over nothing and lash out. The bedroom they found wasn't all bad, the bed was a queen size and surprising to both of them was looking in pretty good condition as if someone had been here earlier cleaning up. "Do you think they did this?"
"I don't know, doesn't make much sense for them to do that for us", Jessica walked in and placed her bag at the foot of the bed, "Well, this is my room for the weekend."
"Um…"
"What?"
Alice looked embarrassed, she didn't want to look Jessica in the eye, "I was going to ask…it's a pretty big bed and…"
"Alice, this is a big house okay? There are probably a ton of rooms to choose from, some of them probably as nice as this one."
"I'm…I'm scared…"
Jessica sighed, she put her hands on Alice's shoulders, "Alice, look at me", she looked up at her, finding a bit of comfort in those sharp blue eyes, "Nothing is going to happen, those stories about ghosts aren't true. Pricilla and her bitches are just trying to get to you so you'll want to back down."
"You're right. I'll be brave", she took her bag and walked out of the room, Jessica could swear that she heard someone speak but when she went to call for Alice she didn't hear anything. That was weird, she decided to think nothing else of it and get ready for bed. She had the sleeping bag on top of the bed's blankets, in nothing more than a tank top and pj pants. It was a little creepy being in that room all by herself, maybe Alice had the right idea to stay there with her.
The sound of what sounded like something in the distance kept her awake. It was coming from down the hall. Not bouncing, running, someone running in their bare feet and they were getting closer. Alice? She looked down at the crack of light coming from beneath the door, someone's shadow ran past. Jessica sat up and slowly moved to the door. She could feel her heart beating fast, this could all be a prank. Some girls that were left behind to torture them in their sleep. She opened the door and looked to her left and right only to find nothing. The hallway was in darkness. Now there wasn't even a sound.
She felt stupid, this house was already getting too her, she was worse than Alice. Something caught her eye, something moving at the very end of the hall. Her eyes widened. A naked woman. Young. Pale and dancing for some reason. She disappeared in the dark, Jessica was bewildered, she should have ran back to her room but she had the instinct to follow. She ran past a room tat had its door opened a crack, she spun around and turned back. She poked her head in to see Alice sitting on the small bed. "Alice! You're not naked!"
Alice was perplexed to see Jessica look so fretful, "Why would I be naked?"
"...Do you maybe want to sleep with me?", she asked, sounding shaken, she cleared her throat and tried to sound calm, "I mean, you're probably frightened being in this room all night by yourself."
"Well not re…I mean, okay sure", she gathered her things and went to Jessica's room. Both lied down, a ton of space between them. They stayed awake, fearful of every creak, and shutter from the wind. This was going to be a long weekend.
"Whatever happened to Bella? Why didn't she want to join a sorority?"
"She kind of went emo after her dad died. She's been inseparable from her stepmom ever since they went on that road trip together, apparently she might be getting married. I don't know who to."
"Wow, maybe she had the right idea, maybe she figured things out and she doesn't need some dumb sorority."
"It's her loss."
"She's not the one living out a horror movie right now."
"Everything will be fine, Alice. We just need to stick together." After some time passed Jessica could swear she could feel someone or something grabbing her. "Are you touching my ass?" Alice only answered with a soft snore.
I know, no real slash in this chapter but next chapter some things will go down, promise. Please review and let me know if you have ideas for stories!
