Resetting the Past-The Haunting Re-Imagined

Warnings: This is going to be a time travel story and is going to make it so Luke and Eleanor are alive at the end of the story. So the opening matches the end of the movie, before the Dudley's arrive, if some names match my last story. It's coincidental now.

Disclaimers: I don't own the story or the characters, the plot line belongs to me, everything else belongs to Shirley Jackson and Jan De Bont.

Chapter 11: Scare Tactics And Wake Up Calls

"Well these are king size mattresses in the house, she can sleep on the bed now, but she's got her designated cat blanket now." Luke said and I nodded. "You okay now Todd?" she asked and he nodded as we looked at the books then. "It's 8:30 right now, and been a long day right now, but I think we better call it tonight right now, try to relax." Eleanor said and they nodded as she looked at our cat. "Baby, bed time." she said and she mewed gently to her at that remark then.

And I looked at the bookshelf and saw 40 more then. "You want something to read, before you go to sleep?" I asked and she mewed and she nodded and grabbed 3 more and we walked upstairs. "Night guys." she said and they nodded and got ready for bed, as I did the report then for this so far. "After dinner and the first bland history of Hill House successfully relayed, Ms. Vance/Marrow appears most susceptible to suggested history."

"Admitting a strongly sentimental reaction to the love story component, Mr. Sanderson who tested at the bottom of Mogel reliability scale was given the second part of the story. In private, when he passes the story on, the haunting fiction should manifest itself in the group..., And dear Mary almost lost an eye, but an injury was prevented tonight." I said, finishing off the first tape recording for the night as I changed into my p.j.'s. and got into bed then, as I tried to relax.

"You think he's going to try and put the same stunts, honey?" I asked and she nodded. "Yeah I do in fact, right now, just as we're getting a good night's sleep right now tonight. I'd say we got another case of the cane on the wall tactic right now, before the noise here. It starts really getting out of hand." she said and I nodded. "Well I'm not leaving you alone for long anymore, but first night in, and back to this again." I said and she nodded in agreement then to that.

"Night honey." she said and I nodded, as we settled after five minutes I realized I couldn't sleep, scared that this time I wouldn't be able to prevent, as after all the excitement tonight, I decided to go exploring and went around the wing I was in looking at the paintings and carvings, but after five minutes lost in my own thoughts I didn't see where I was heading or that Luke was coming from the opposite direction till we ran right into each other. "Ahh!" We shouted, before I pulled myself together as his reaction was more startled.

"God, you scared the f..." he started to say and I didn't have to hear the rest of the cut off to know what the meaning was. 'I don't blame him for that reaction, it's been several jolts all night, then Mary and now this, that's enough of this alright now.' I thought to myself as I watched him gently as y tried to pull himself together then. "I'm sorry." I said and he nodded, with frequent scares all night, we both were on edge now.

And after Mary almost got hurt and now this, it was enough to ruffle anyone's feathers. "Oh you got to be more careful here." he said and I nodded. "Are you alright, I'm sorry." I said again and he nodded. "Yeah just don't jump out." he said and I gently repeated the question. "Alright, you alright." I said again and he took a breath and relaxed. "Yeah, yeah I'll be alright." he said and I looked at what he was holding then gently.

"What's with the glove?" I asked and he looked at me. "What?" he asked and I repeated it. "What's with the glove?" I asked and he sighed. "Oh it's just, I couldn't sleep, insomnia, what's with...?" he asked and pointing at my recorder and I nodded. "Yes, taking notes." I said and he nodded. "Yeah, you got to be more careful." he said and and I nodded. "I was, I was just looking around." I said and then changed subjects gently.

So I could to go into why he was up then with as I knew they were growing close. "What are you doing up exactly?" I asked and he sighed. "Same reason you are, that Friday results in what caused us to lose her that night, the first night here matches up. But what about the rest of the week, can't stop thinking about it and decided to investigate that room we found her in. To get some clues, you too?" he asked and I nodded. "Yeah, but come on." I said and he nodded then.

"There's some good hallways that way." he said and I nodded to that. "Uh huh." I respond and he went for one last question. "How's this one?" he asked and I thought over what I'd seen. "Not bad." I told him and he nodded. "Good, good." he said and I ended it that. "See you tomorrow." I said and he nodded. "Okay." he said and we went further on, after getting to the stairs I saw the sculpture that Theo mentioned.

'Jeez, that thing looks real.' I thought, before heading in that direction further, 'Damn it, whatever reason he turned this place into a funhouse or just a damn maze. It's now getting aggravating right now, but that just gave the first rule right now in this house. And with it now, rule 1) focus on where you're heading, or you're likely to scare the heck out of the other person coming from the opposites direction right now.'

After several detours I somehow wounded up downstairs and was walking past the mirrors the girls mentioned, before hearing a thumping noise. "What the hell is that?" I thought, before hearing some music, pushed a door open and lost my balance as the floor started moving. "Dang it, okay, he said trap doors, funhouse mirrors, locked doors and a dozen other tricks and traps that you find in a carnival funhouse."

"Alright I got to map this place out." I thought out loud as I quickly got up and closed the door as I tried to work out which direction to go. "Rats in a maze and I'm one of the rats now, this is getting ridiculous alright retrace my steps, I've got to get back upstairs." I said to myself out loud and headed into the main hall and found I wound up in the foyer next to the fountain, and headed for the stairs, and hearing the thumping getting louder.

"What's going on up here." I thought out loud as the noise started getting worse I heard several screams and quickly charged upstairs and in the direction of where the girls' rooms were and Luke arrived just as I hit the lights then. "What's going on up here?" I asked and he sighed. "I'm not entirely sure, but I heard Theo." he said and I nodded to that as he turned and knocked on the door, to get their attention gently.

"Hey guys you alright! Guys it's me, are you alright!" He called and a minute later I heard Theo then. "Luke?" she called back and he quickly answered her. "Yeah it's me. Is everything alright?" he asked and I could see she was shaken up after what just happened. "Luke was that just part of the experiment?" she asked and I knew I had nothing to do with that noise, because I was downstairs as he answered her.

"Was what part of the experiment?" he asked and her tone turned annoyed. "The noise, well what did you hear?" she asked and he sighed as he answered her. "Theo all I heard was you screaming for me." he said and she looked annoyed at that as she answered him. "I wasn't screaming for you." she said and she moved back in as we followed her and I saw Eleanor standing at the door of their bathroom as I moved to her side.

"Mary you alright?" Todd asked and she nodded. "Yeah, and where the heck were you guys?" she asked and I nodded. "Retracing our steps, but it's clear he's trying to separate us, but thank god we don't have a gun in the house." I said and she nodded. "Yeah or someone is going to get shot, everyone just relax, now, I told you already. With someone like Hugh haunting the house, or town right now, it's going to get confusing him or natural." Eleanor said and they nodded

"You alright Eleanor?" I asked and she nodded. "It was in my room and then it moved into Nell's room." Theo said and he nodded. "Alright let me look." he said and he opened up the doors. "Are there any lights?" he asked and Eleanor answered that. "Yeah right here." she said as she hit the lights and he moved further into the room. "I don't see or hear anything." he said, before looking at the size of the room then gently at that.

And looked at her in annoyance. "Well I must have gotten nipped at the old bedroom selection, because every room is like four times as big as mine." he said and she looked at the wall. "Hold it, it's freezing in here." I said and I looked around. "Not again, alright hang on here." Eleanor said and after lighting a match, throwing it in the fireplace, that did it then finally. As it started battling the blistering cold in the room as he nodded sternly at that remark

"The god damn window is open, yeah alright any sane person knows this, that this time of year at night up here it drops to 35 degrees at night." Theo said and he nodded sternly. "And just whose bright idea was it to leave a window open in the middle of October in upper New England. As it's freezing this time of year here." Luke said and closed the window. "Yeah and we know it wasn't us, he's at it again here." I said and she and Luke nodded in agreement as she said it.

Seeing that I looked at her, 'Mom what's going on here exactly, if this some sort of practical joke it's not funny right now.' I heard her think, before hearing a voice in answer to that gently, as I listened gently. "At the moment he's trying to scare you, but this is your indication the house is haunted by a dangerous spirit honey, in addition to what he did to Mary, remember what I taught you here.'

"That wasn't the kids, so what else could it be?' she said her and she looked at me then as she said it. "Wait that wasn't open before, alright prognosis anyone?" Eleanor said and they sighed, before they could say it, we heard a thumping and they exchanged looks. "We better do this in the kitchen, because it's getting a bit too creepy right now." Theo said and they nodded as we headed for the kitchen and looked at the mess.

"Well if the lame brain doing this is trying to scare us, it's working now." Luke said and they nodded in agreement as they moved over to the table. "Well that just made my point clear, at times you have most ghosts having you point fingers at each other for something like this now. But 1) after I left the room, that was opened, so it's clear our adult poltergeist was trying to freeze me out of the house." Eleanor said to me gently.

"Meow.., mew, mew, mew!" We heard and I turned and saw she had jumped on the bed to warm her paws back up. "Yeah cold paw, bad ghost opened see through pane, and froze us out of tiny kennel in big kennel, but Alpha's made started orange light in open wall. To warm up the little kennel, so dark and red fur cats can sleep tonight." I said and she mewed in understanding. "Come on, I'll get you some creme." Eleanor said and she mewed gently to that.

"Yeah warm milk, a few slices of cake, and a fast talk, before that happens again." Theo said and I nodded to that opinion. "Just put the screen up and before we go downstairs, because the room is freezing here." Todd said to that remark then. "Midnight snack, though it's 10:30." Luke said and I nodded in agreement. "So this happened before huh?" Mary asked and we nodded. "Yeah it did guys so with that and tac-sit in the kitchen here." Eleanor said and she nodded.

And I nodded as, after they sat at the table, I made a pot of tea, as Eleanor got the cat some warm creme to drink to take the edge off and he decided to check the pipes as he turned on the faucets, but after a minute I heard the thumping noise we heard and nodded as he looked at them. "Is that it, is that what guys heard?" he asked and Theo shrugged. "Well I did just take a bath, I mean it could have been." she said and Eleanor looked at her to gover the next portion of it then.

"Well than how do you explain the breath and the cold, I mean I didn't leave that window open, someone, or Hugh, is trying to trigger a case of hypothermia here for us, and your hair is wet?" she said and she sighed. "I don't know a draft, maybe someone left a window open somewhere and both together were freezing up our section of the house." she said and I answered that, before I could say it, then, I then heard a crash and looked over to see a pot laying on the floor.

"That's the next, we got things getting chucked across the room when none of us touched it and two of us never just left the house this time right now." Eleanor said and I nodded in agreement. "Great, pounding on the walls, a close call sudden injury and now this, if they're trying scare us here, it's working at the moment." Theo said and she nodded. "Meow?" the cat said as she sat there on the table, looking at the pot, and Eleanor and I nodded with a chuckle to that remark.

"Yeah at least it was clean, before getting chucked across the food kennel." I said with a slight smile. "Great first the noises and now this." Theo said bemused at this then. "Yeah and you know that wasn't me, though I'm leaning on the stove here." Luke said and the girls nodded. "Yeah we know it's not you, as holding a cup of hot cocoa and a slice of cake, the girls and I are sitting here and Dave has the kettle and standing behind Theo." Todd said and we nodded then.

"After the last one, he's acting like Beetlejuice in scaring us out of here, but I was closest to the damn thing, but that wasn't me, I'm leaning against the stove here." Luke said and I nodded as I looked at the girls as I poured some more tea into Theo's cup. "The cold, who felt it first?" I asked and Theo answered that. "I think it was me." she said and Eleanor looked at me. "At this rate I think the ending results are the paranormal activity are getting out of hand here now."

"That if scaring us doesn't work he goes for attempted injuries, if not that, he's trying to freeze us out here, and his anger is causing the temperature to start dropping. Said being covered by the damn window and with that in mind here, what difference does it make?" Eleanor asked me and I sighed. 'Back to this again.' I thought gently at that remark then. "Well Eleanor, if you said it was Theo, and Theo if it was you." I said and she answered that with a bemused look then.

" Look I don't need anyone to tell me I'm cold." Theo said gently to that remark then. "For the time being I think we'd better drop formalities between us here, if it's just us." Luke said and she nodded in agreement to that. "Well this just made my point guys, so like I said trying to rationalize the response makes it harder to see things right now. But with it just being us, we have to pair up and be like this in case that happens a second time now."

"With the situation it's best if we get to know each other with it just being the four of us here with two of our group ejected from it. But either it's the house itself or we got a ghost haunting it, I mean ten jolts in five hours. Consesus: so it's either the plumbing or the house's original owner is haunting it. But one thing's for sure is that it's going to get extremely confusing, and everything that looks like it's normal, probably isn't."

"So either those noises are really the pipes or we got a malevolent ghost haunting this house." Eleanor said and I figured that was enough to concern me, either the house was haunted by a crazed ghost or it was the mechanics and plumbing and I decided to go with the second one. "Well let's just blame this on the old plumbing then, huh, what else could be." I said and they nodded as Luke decided to end it with the next sentence.

"Well if you don't need me anymore, I guess that's it, jobs done now, night." he said and I hid a smile as I answered him. "Night Luke." I said and Theo decided on the same. "Yeah me too." she said and Eleanor got up as well. "Will you two be alright?" I asked her and she nodded. "Yeah." she said, before turning to look at me. "We keep this up and it's going scene by scene the rest of this week, before he tries and scares you into a fatal mistake, but this was me."

"Not you this time, so I think it was just the paranormal side effects, but you didn't hear the cane on the wall tactic?" she asked and I said it. "No." I said and she nodded as she left the room and I watched her go, feeling my feelings for her growing by the minute. 'Don't worry Eleanor, no matter what happens, I'm making sure I'm here for you.' I thought, before putting things in the sink and turning out the lights in the kitchen, before going to bed for the night.

After a very hectic night I was up and dressed and headed downstairs to find the trio at the table talking, as the cat was sitting there on the chair and looked up. "Meow." she said in greeting and I smiled. " Morning baby, sleep good after bad scare last night." I said and she gave a yes meow and I nodded as I ran my hand through her head fur gently. "Morning guys, sleep good?" I asked and they smiled and nodded gently at that remark then.

"Aside from a few more practical jokes yeah, I found the window open a second time around four this morning here." Eleanor said and I nodded. "Well that explains why Crystal put herself between my legs, he's trying to freeze us out here at the moment right now." I said as she took the seat across from me as we talked as Theo looked at her at that in bemusement. "Did this happen last time you were here?" Mary asked and the four of us nodded to her at that.

"Why do I feel like this is going to keep up like this for the rest of the week, it's not enough for strange noises and things moving on their own. But to nearly put someone in the hospital, if this guy is trying to scare us he's doing an awfully good job of it right now." Theo said to her and she nodded in agreement to that remark. "So far the ones we've seen are of two kinds right now: playful and innocent and sinister and cruel."

"But last night was mostly playful, before the harpsichord and his attempting to scare us by pounding on the walls. Hugh's getting impatient though, if he's determined to scare us out of the house, and it's either that. So that or we got a lunatic running loose around here and he managed to get into the property. But either way right now at the moment here now in this, but as I said last night, rationalizing makes it extremely confusing." she said and he looked at her.

"Where'd you hear that from, that sounds like a scientific point of view here?" Todd asked and she explained that. "Mom took the subject seriously and explained it like this to me, she had PH.D's in parapsychology and and psychology and studied a few added electives at school. To put this gently everything you see is sometimes not what you think it is and if you look at it too closely it's going to give a surprising shock later on, right now."

"But I learned quite a bit from her and dad, aside from that, the reason I wasn't too surprised last night when our friends started fooling around with the pool table and in the kitchen, is because I've seen things get thrown across the room when nobody got a hold of it. So I'm used to it, but our assailant, if he's the one pounding on the walls is going to start driving up the scare tactics from here, so just be on your guard later."

"And trust me, this was why they're so leery of having guests in the house right now." she said and we nodded as I heard an answering remark at that as Mrs. Dudley walked into the room. "Cases of damages and you never expect what's coming when you come back for the next night the group is in session. And I just checked the harpsichord and there's broken string that I know you unwound, sounds like he wound it back up and it snapped this time and now this, alright."

"What movie was the reason for that in the wall, because whatever happened last night. That is enough to get the attention of Jack and the town government?" he added, nodding to the slight abrasion that was by the second painting. "He destroyed a beer mug as well, Rick." I said and he nodded. "Girl you okay, you never stepped in it." he asked and the cat gave a no meow to him and he nodded as Eleanor looked at her godmother and uncle at that remark.

"I just made this clear last night, but check the damn thing before playing with it, but to answer you. It was the gun in reverse order in Clue, after I realized what was going on I explained it to them and we had five explosions from that movie and two others from Roger Rabbit." she said and she nodded as she started laughing. "No three explosions." Luke said smiling and she nodded in agreement as the couple nodded bemused at that.

"Lovely, alright if there's anything else going on Doctor let me know, because for some reason young lady you seem a bit too familiar to Elizabeth and me, like you're a younger version of a friend of ours." he said and we nodded to that. "To answer your question when was the last time you saw her daughter, because my last memory. And of coming here was when I was 18 and after my father died." she said to him and he said it gently.

"When she was 15 to 17, the last visit was before Rob was killed in the explosion, 14.5 years ago, but my daughter came to see us every year. That's adoptive daughter, and from the time she was a year old to her 19th birthday at the time. That was the last visit after Rob was killed, but even worse at the time now and I got this from Becky. But Ellie was busy in the school in Boston and while her sister is screwing around in college."

"As for Becky, she's needing to get the funds to support the girls at the tome, but of the girls, the one I was closest to was Ellie, Jane Emily. Becky told me she met some little bastard who, once he hear that her mother was descended from a near trillionaire, immediately started dating her?" he said with an irritated growl and she nodded. "Yeah I know, he only married her, to get to my mother's insurance plan, it's with her lawyer."

"But he's crossed a line, if you two are really who I think, it's time you know why I chose this, two months after she died. Because they've just destroyed my life, I'm ready to exact revenge on him, through you now." she said and he nodded as he gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze. "If Jack and I learn why, he's ending up dead when I get through with him baby, if you're really my little girl, I'm doing it right now."

"Because it's been fifteen years, since I saw my baby girl, but if you're her, I'm not letting go when we just found you again." he said and she nodded to him, though, before she could answer I heard several chords from the piano as I heard a knock on the door and then heard the door open. 'I am, your singing telegram.' we heard, before we heard a loud explosion followed by the door slamming shut and they started laughing.

As we exchanged grins as Luke said it smiling to that response. "Well whoever the killer was this time, they just left the building right now." he said and Eleanor started laughing at that. "That's what's been going on during the meet and greet last night you guys?" Dudley asked and we nodded. "Yeah and like we said, we had five explosions from this movie, and three from Roger Rabbit." Theo said as Eleanor said it through her laughter.

"Alright guys, whoever did it this time had better knock it off and they'd better stop screwing around with the champagne bottles. We've been hearing that all night last night, whoever broke the bottle this time, gave us a few jokes." Eleanor said as the couple chuckled, as we heard a second explosion in answer to that. And Luke started laughing as he answered that as he said it for the six of us smiling at that gently.

"Nice tension breaker there." Luke said and we started laughing as she called out. "Alright whoever's screwing around with the champagne bottles had better knock it off now you guys, because we're not doing this all day!" Theo called out as we tried to get our laughter under control at this. "It's been like that all night with the kids Mr. Dudley, one of them decided to lighten up the mood after we had the crap scared out of us."

"And decided on sound effects from crime comedies, both movies that Lloyd played in no less, and there were five explosions, in reverse order of the movie, the fight over the piano between Donald and Daffy and the 'Shave and a Haircut' scene after Roger broke and busted through the wall." she said, before he could answer I heard the piano do the chords to that particular song, and we heard another explosion in answer to that.

"I think they're trying to lighten up the mood after we just got another adrenaline burst last night, though this keeps up and one of us is going to die laughing." Eleanor said to her as the couple chuckled at that. "Lovely well that's a new one on me, alright, breakfast is ready, help yourselves. But if you need to talk to me or Rick about something it's fine." Mrs. Dudley said smiling and she looked at her as she answered her.

"During that fight when she suggested I read the damn thing, I didn't have to see it to know there's a hidden catch to it when it has the words 'The executor shall have the right to dispose of any and all personal property as he shall see fit.'. Because no person talks like that anymore and secondly, it's I know mom better then she does. But that's the real case of anger,Mage doesn't understand whatsoever what it's been like."

"These last 11 years like I told you last night, but 'the executor shall have the right to dispose of any and all personal property as he shall see fit.'. As two of the books came off the shelf, it's a mixture of The Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist." she read out and I thought it over then with that she started on that. "You said Rebecca was a psychiatrist?" I said and she nodded to me as she answered me as she looked between us then."

"Yeah and with the fact we have the notes that's a clue "Shall have the right, as he shall see fit', that's odd. As you don't normally hear that nowadays, but that's got to be a double standard." Theo said to her and she nodded as I thought over it. "It is, fact of the matter is that's it's not an admission at all, but Rob and Becky. Becky knows you'd figure it out, because you're into psychology and just like her." Mr. Dudley said to her gently.

"And we end up with the copy of the will and Rebecca rigged the game and then to top it off whatever amount she left us is a way to sweep a lawsuit under the rug. If there's trouble this week right now as a result, but we just add this to your book I know you're writing. But The Haunting: A Study Of Fear And Performance, And The Consequences Of Greed." Theo said to me and I nodded as Eleanor finishing that as she smiled firmly.

"That's an understatement, my parents rigged the board game, if you reverse the wording what are you hearing her saying here?" she asked and she answered that. "Choose wisely, why would that be in there, that remark's been out out of date since our parents were our age?" she asked and I thought it over. "She's a psychologist, so what's the reverse of psychology in trying to psyche someone out?" she asked, looking at me.

"Reverse psychology, she's using reverse psychology for this." I said and she nodded. "'Shall have the right, as he shall see fit', wait a second, that's not an admission, we stopped using that type of wording in the 1950's, alright not an admission. Alright so decode the true message here, if she's able to crack it, than all the better." I thought out loud as I looked at her as I answered her then as I said it, before Luke said it for me.

"We stopped using that type of wording by the time we hit the late 30's and early 50's, so why is that put in there?" Luke asked and she explained that to him. "Yeah exactly, we don't use that wording anymore and we stopped using it. By the time we hit '65, during the post atomic war, now does that seem like admission here. I mean 'shall have the right', we hear that type of talk in people from the 1900's, 1801 to 1899 now."

"Though it stopped at the turn of the century now, but when we were still living in England and the subtext was not an admission it's a question. The Christmas Carol showed what greed does to you and with that fact in mind Oliver Twist does the rest. And I don't have to hear the words to know mom already chose me as her rightful to the family fortune whatever it might be." she said and I looked at her as I answered her.

"Psychological points of view, sounds like Rebecca is doing reverse psychology if she put that in there." I said and she nodded as she explained that. "Reverse psychology into what, if the victim is getting so greedy, just what is the hidden catch here?" Luke asked and I explained that one. "Whatever her parents taught there was more than to be expected, reverse the seven deadly sins and you got the true morales of the gospel."

"Rebecca decided on a test using the seven deadly sins here, but for whatever reason, it's to give whatever amount was in this will. Or secondary will, to the rightful heir of the family, but with the fact mom left us that post script. Whoever shows everything that the reverse of the seven deadly sins are and passes whatever tests. That Rebecca wanted them to take gets the entire fortune, once this one's been probated and the second.

"If there is one, though now we saw that post script, is going to cut the heir that flunked her integrity test out of the will entirely for getting greedy here." I said and she finished my sentence as she smiled at my insight into it. "Yeah exactly, the words were a test, 'shall have the right', you can choose to be compassionate and be humble. Or you can get greedy and destroy, piece by piece, what's in your side of the family fortune."

"'Dispose of any and all personal property as he shall see fit, 'Whatever choice you make you got to live with the consequences now, you can be there for family. And left them keep their half of what's in their portion of the inheritance or you can get greedy, take it from them and you lose everything. The added catch is there's got to be a counter clause in that will and it's a trading places move here, like the prince and the pauper."

"As they get to live each other's lives once the testing duration ends and the one who passes the test gets everything the bearer left to them. While the other only gets a tenth of the amount and has to live the life of the heir who passed the test. As they see what it's like living in their shoes, that's the true meaning of that remark choose wisely. Or you lose everything out of greed and have to start from scratch all over again."

"You remember the first wive's club, they hit their husbands where it hurts, right in the wallet. As one was cheating the IRS, another was committing adultery and the third just got bought out right now by his wife after his former partners sold her their share of the add agency he worked at. Midler was her latest client as she owned her husband's retail store, loaded with stolen goods at the time." she said and I smiled at that remark.

"Was Rebecca from a wealthy family, if she chose to do this, because I heard about a well known philanthropist?" I asked and she smiled. "Yeah, I'm descended from Frederick Craine actually, my great grandfather was a billionaire, near trillionaire. But she chose not to flaunt that wealth and decided on helping others, but my family. Both sides were philanthropists, while she chose to be a working as a parapsychologist, if I'm right."

"Dad was descended from a Irish lord, but both sides of the family were wealthy, but for whatever reason she was here eleven years ago, she probably came to get funds and then dealt with whatever reason they called her up here for, but my parents were like the Potter/Evans family in the books, and they chose to help others and with being civil servants, including experiments like this one, so while Jane turned into the sister."

"And married a guy like Dursley, which for my parents means is basically she's getting disowned for that later. Everything about mom and my father went into me on full blast and with that, I don't have to hear their voices to know that I should let them. In make their grave, because whatever that second will specified, the counter clause. So this is going to result in another experiment, like the bet that those men in Trading Places did."

"And only have to have their lives come crashing down, though why this came up now, I bet I'm the chosen heir for the family." she said and I nodded as she went into that. "Well if they're trying to destroy your life, I say we left them shoot themselves in the foot right now as they see what greed does to you." Luke said and Theo nodded to that. "Yeah me too, didn't you say she was a psychologist here?" Theo asked and she nodded.

"Yeah, and reverse psychology tends to come in handy in situations like this at the current moment here right now. If you reverse the remarks, what's the clear message in what she's suggesting here, greed can be deadly. But if you mess with another person's life so what's the real message with what I just translated in that will to for you guys?" she said and I smiled as I read it out for the 3 of us as the duo and I exchanged smiles.

"She's saying, before doing anything, choose wisely or you're losing whatever portion of the family fortune that was given to you. While one heir gets everything the other only gets a 1/10 of whatever amount was in the family fortune. Your family are that wealthy so the little bastard shot himself in the leg by not reading the fine print here, because it's saying choose wisely here." I said and Luke answered that as she smiled as she got it.

"The will had the key sentences underlined twice, wording we stopped using by the time our parents were our age. Did the idiot not even see this when you took it to the probate at the time?" Luke asked and she smiled. " No they didn't, they got so greedy that they didn't even look at the fine print, mom left the apartment to me. And they're waiting for the probate to close, before they put it on the market." she said and Theo's eyes flashed.

"Just what is their deal exactly here, she left that apartment to you and they're now undermining that in the probate, that's illegal, as if that's not enough, you don't have to see the letter to know they're just about to shoot themselves in the foot here, because the key words are underlined twice and the sentence structures makes it pretty clear that the first will is a fake here Nell, the letter is not an admission, not at all here."

"And it's a question of integrity." She said and Eleanor nodded as he remarked on it as he looked at her. "'Shall have the right, as he shall see fit', wait a second, that's not an admission or declaration at all, it's a question to whether you two will make the right choices." Luke said and she nodded. "Uh huh, now where do we normally hear talk like that, in literature exactly, and I'm starting with Charles Dickens for one, now.."

"The last time we heard that remark it's two of three of his books, Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol, so what's the lesson here they're teaching. The seven deadly sins factor, what's the opposite of greed, and that's the catch now?" she asked and he smiled as he got it. "When it comes to wills that are involving a few billion or higher in assets. Look at the fine print, before making a judgement call right now and with that now."

"Us in the areas of psychology and academics see it and the greedy ones don't or can't see it, because they're too focused on destroying the good ones. And with everything that makes up the family name, on both sides of the family. Alright I get what you're saying here, she's pulling a hook, line and sinker move to test you girls. And you're passing each test, whatever they might be, right now." he said and she smiled at him.

"Yeah exactly not an admission, it's a family test, in fact this is a test of integrity of her two heirs, whoever holds the true characteristics of my grandfather and shows all of them, and evidently if we got the intrusions going on repeatedly, I seem to be the intended true heir, if they're reacting like this when I'm around suddenly. If Benson and the Dudleys know about this they'll be able to decode it, but what I can say, now."

" Is that it's against the law to forcefully steal another heirs portion of the Inheritence. Mom probably created two wills and gave this one to Wilson, but with them screwing around with rushing it right now they just shot themselves in the foot, and I don't have to hear her voice to know that either. I'm acting like I'm supposed to be, so I'm letting them shoot themselves in the foot, I don't have to hear dad's voice to say it now."

"And it's that he's as disgusted as you guys are with their attitudes and as to why that is right now. The second will was hidden and probably placed into another account and has information that is meant to unlock why these kids are trying to get my attention, for whatever reason right now, though if it's why I suddenly found the necklace that tells me all I need, though if dad was from another just as wealthy family at the moment."

"Then that doubles the percentage." she said and smiled as she realized whatever was in the true fine print in whatever her mother wrote. "Yeah alright I get the underlying meaning of this test and the fine print now." she said and I looked at her. "What's the final side effect of this once the probate runs it course later?" I asked and she explained that as she looked between the three of us then as she explained that to us gently.

"The first will is a fake like I said, so it's meant to show the bad egg in each generation of the family and with them whoever the marital heir is. That if they act like I am right now, they get everything, the house, the money, everything and the bad eggs only get a 10th of the amount of what they deserve for their behaviors. Along with the added punishment of a counter clause which is their lives are switched, trading places now."

"Here in our generation's case, as the bad egg sees the good egg's life and what it's like to live with whatever is going on. As to that that's the true purpose of the will and while I, as the chosen heir, get everything, they get only a tenth of what they deserve for that along with her having to live my life as companion to someone who had mom's condition as she sees what that's like." she said explaining it gently, before I could answer.

As the salt shaker started jumping up and down at that in response to her remark and I tried to keep from laughing as he looked at her with a smile. "Alright what's that reaction for exactly anyway?" he said with an amused look. "Because I just guessed right, the will was a test and a fake and I'm in the middle of a family integrity test and whoever possessed the salt shaker is making it clear I'm right about that assumption now."

"And I don't have to hear her voice to know I just guessed right here, and with that fact in mind." she said and looked at the shaker with an amused look on her face. As we got into a gentle debate. "Yeah that too, though with the amount of pranks with the pool table and the water fight, it felt like things were turning into a circus in the library last night." Theo said, though just as I reached for the pepper it shifted to the left and I reached out again and it moved to the right, before he went to grab it. "Here we go again the table pranks just started a second time." Theo said with a slight smile at that.

And as it hid behind the jug of orange juice. "Alright wise guy, I need to use you now, so hold still." I said and it moved out from being the jug. "I think they're giving us some group time together now, if that was one of the kids who just did that." I said and she smiled as he reached for the butter and it shifted position to the right, he reached out a second time and it moved to the left and he looked at it, with a bemused smile

"Hold still would you please, I just need a small amount for my buscuits here." he said and she started laughing at that as she answered him. "I think that's the 11 year old group that just did that, if they're trying to irritate the heck out of us. By disappearing acts when it comes to the table staples and the silverware." Theo said, before the fork that was on the plate of breakfast sausage moved out of range and Eleanor's chuckled.

"Well at least it's not the books that are doing this at the moment after they started requesting for attention from me. But I've never seen books that get that desperate to be read now, because last decade's generation has started in high school this semester. While these kids are now fooling around with things that we, as adults and psychological experts, see as mentally unhealthy, that's probably why there's no tv in the house."

"If the March family matriarch chose to abolish tv in the house and chose items to make the kids put their minds to something else. Like board games, reading, pool tables, card games, table tennis, music instruments. So it's to strengthen up their minds to make them more creative." Eleanor said and I nodded in agreement to that. "Half these video games are loaded with gore and violence and between that and the slasher flicks now."

"Then I understand why, but if we have any children in the house after we decide to come back right now. And the media: in books and music is under R after that, gut we just keep the language clean in this house. This year's generation is winding up with some seriously sick media for teenagers 15 and older. And aside from the Harry Potter books and movies they just created, but Starwars, Harry Potter and several others."

"Any teenage psychiatrist is going to say that to prevent their minds from getting warped, if they're into the extreme violence, then to put it towards something else. Instead of scary movies, give them something to read, instead of video games keeping them on the couch, give them a place too fool around. And as for the pool table, or tables if there's more than one, it just gives them something to fool around with."

"Though if Rebecca reacted like that with your figuring out whatever that means is probably connected to why these kids are trying to get your attention. Though if you're the owner of the house now, it means that with a house this size we can turn and update it into an updated version of a community center for them, if it's raining they got plenty to do later." Theo said and she nodded as she answered her smiling at that remark.

Turning to look at the door then, I saw something missing and Luke said it for me then. "That spot was filled last night, who was in that part of the door?" he asked and I nodded in agreement. "Well this may explain why we had the noises, and the pot get thrown across the room, the harp, whoever was there now. They must be dangerous, if he's trying to scare us out of the house." Theo said and I nodded in agreement to her thoughts.

"Hey Nell, you know who filled the space on this door, because it looks one of the demons escaped here." Luke said and she nodded as she checked her mother's notes and nodded. "Mom left some information to me, but that was where Craine himself was." she said and I nodded in shock. "What the hell was he doing in the doors?" Theo said for me and she explained that to us gently at the remark.

"These doors on one side were meant to contain dangerous spirits say homicidal maniacs of Krueger's caliber. And the innocent souls of children to young adults on the other, but why he was trapped in these doors was never specified. That must be part of the story mom wanted me to figure out right now, though this must be why he's trying to scare us out of the house right now."

"And before I figure that out, though that's why she got you involved Dave, you're playing the part of Wasson's character, the movie. Right after he got the entire story, but same difference right now, I tell you and we do it together, but with it now. This could go in the same direction now, if I have to do what she did and get into a face off with this lunatic if he's anything like Krueger." she said and I nodded with a bemused look at that news then.

"Great I'm playing their psychiatrist, and my love interest is the grand daughter of the son of a possible homicidal maniac. Though that's true and it just got even more campfire storyish then it needs to be." I said and she nodded as we headed back to the table as she filled me in. "I only got a some parts, but the parts left out where the parts that they were not ready till the kids until they were teenagers now."

"Which is why Andy is sounding more then 12 but going on 50 here with us right now, he's my uncle, so to him, lead us in the right direction. But get ready, if this is the part that put mom in the hospital for cardiac arrest and the surgery, we're possibly looking at the reason, but grandpa. The sole heir ran judgement, before the condemned got yanked into those doors." she said and we nodded as I knew this was going to get dangerous.

"Didn't you say that if they didn't do morse code, to go to handwriting?" Theo asked and she nodded. "Mom what the heck was he doing in the doors for exactly?" Eleanor asked and a message wrote itself out. "It's for the same reason that the parents of every kid on the block cooked Krueger." I read out and we exchanged looks at that remark. "As bad as all that?" she asked and I heard a sigh at that.

"Worse baby, truth is this why your grandfather exorcised him into the doors when I was your age, but dodged at the last minute. But I missed the shot and I got hit by the blast into the wall knocking me unconscious, before the test results came back from the cardiologist. And Jared told me I couldn't do this anymore." she read out and I nodded to the news in shock.

"Your grandfather is a priest, are we talking along Bowdern's caliber?" I asked and Eleanor nodded. "Yeah and this happens a lot, but if mom missed the shot this explains why she retired. The movie had it right actually at times talking to the other side leaves a door open that should have remained locked. And the parapsychology and catholic church, the Jesuits, have to take charge." she said and sighed as she said it then.

"Grandpa was a Jesuit priest at the time, he died in the line of duty when I was 25." she said and I nodded in amazement. "There is going to be a lot I learn about your family this week it seems, but we better keep the personal surprises under control, shall we." I said and they nodded in agreement to that. "Yeah no kidding, so you're parapsychologist, your mother was a psychiatrist, grandfather a priest and with it now, we got a maniac in the family."

"Are you trying to scare the hell out of us, Becky?" Luke asked and a message wrote itself out at that. "No honey, but this was to give you a warning, he's not going to stop till you make a close to fatal mistake right now guys. So try to control that fear and before you it puts you headlong in danger, say the fireplace, that's set to a certain time, stay out of there." she read out and we nodded to the orders then.
