Re: The Haunted House on the Hill Part 1

[Rose Hathaway]

Angel shook her head. "I have a feeling we should go in. I think something's calling to me in there, or something. I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I think we should head in now." She got up from the grass, and walked over to the door, opening it.

[Book the Hero]

"Angel, hold on a second!" Leo called, getting up. "What's calling you?"

---

Joseph smiled as they finally reached the entrance to the basement. "Ah, there it is."

[Rose Hathaway]

"I don't know. There's just something in there. Something bugging me. We have to go in." Angel said. Her tone was unusually serious right now, and as if what she was saying wasn't freaky enough, the tone made it ten times worse. She looked up at the house, realizing it seemed familiar, as if she'd been here before. It was just blocked off in her head, as if something happened that her body had blocked off. "Come on." she stepped inside, looking around at the foyer.

Bryant led the group to what appeared to be a prison cell. He looked back at them and smiled sadly.

[Rose Hathaway]

"Bryant, what's wrong?" Elizabeth asked, frowning.

[Book the Hero]

"...Bryant?" Joseph asked. "...What do you know about this place?"

---

Leo saighed. "...Fine." He said, before following her.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Quil backed away from Bryant, clenching her fists defensively. "If you go crazy, I'm gonna hit you," she cautioned.

Denny grabbed Angel's shoulder. "Oi, don't go psycho on me already, we just got here."

[Shadoe Mayari]

"I'm sorry..." Bryant said, pushing the three into the cell, then locking it. "But I'm going to protect you guys."

[quackers are yummylicious]

Quil snarled, grabbing Bryant's collar as he pushed her into the cell. "You little prick! The hell are you doing?!"

[Rose Hathaway]

Angel looked around the foyer, which was surprisingly clean for a dusty old house. She started up the stairs, a glazed over look in her eyes, tugging away from Denny.

Elizabeth was shoved into the cell. "Bryant! What's gotten into you?!" she screamed.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Denny frowned, a bit freaked out by Angel at the moment. So he did what any good friend would do, and squeezed her butt. If he got a broken nose, she was probably fine.

[Rose Hathaway]

Much to everyone's surprise, Angel did nothing. She continued up the stairs. "Come on, guys. It's crying to us. It needs our help." she said, unaffected by Denny's innappropriate touching.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Denny opened his mouth, silent for a moment, before letting out a loud string of curses. He grabbed Angel, pushing her to the wall. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" he roared, about ready to punch it out of her.

[Book the Hero]

"Bryant, open the door!" Joseph said.

---

Leo pulled Denny off of her. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

[Rose Hathaway]

"Let me go." she said calmly. "We have to help it. It's stuck, and it's scared. The monsters are going to get it. It's singing, a sad, sad song. It's a cry for help. We have to follow the song and help it." Angel said, the far off look still in her eyes.

[Shadoe Mayari]

Aria silently followed her group. She tried to sense what Angel was hearing, to see if it was a ghost or not, but with no avail.
---
Bryant pulled two things out of his pocket, a key and a small knife. He tossed Joseph the key through the bars. "You can leave now if you want to," he said, "but I wouldn't suggest it."

One could hear something approaching the cell. Something huge.

OOC: And now the fun begins~

[Rose Hathaway]

"We have to help it. Come one, I need your help. It says it's too much for one person to handle. I need your help." Angel said, looking up the stairs.

Elizabeth went to the bars, clasping her hands around them. "Bryant. What is going on? You have to tell us, or we can't help you." she said calmly, but tears were in her eyes. She was terrified now.

[Book the Hero]

Joseph gripped the key, his hands beginning to shake. "Bryant...what is that?"

---

Leo stared at Angel, before sighing. "Lead the way...I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually."

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Don't any of you see?!" Denny snarled, pushing Leo away. "She's not Angel! Aria, she's possessed, ain't she?!"

Quil shook at the bars. "Dammit, Bryant, why take us down here if you knew this was coming?! You're gonna get killed!"

[Rose Hathaway]

"Denny, you have to come. I need your help. It needs your help. We need to help it. It will reward us if we help it. It'll give us a clue to escape." Angel said. And at that moment, the door slammed shut, and a lock clicked it in place. The group was now trapped in the house, locked in from the outside, with no key.

"Bryant. Let us help you." Elizabeth said firmly.

[Book the Hero]

But Denny was unable to move Leo. "Possesed or not, we have to go, seeing as it's the only thing we have to go on, and if she is possesed, this is probably the best way to figure out how to break it."

[Shadoe Mayari]

Aria put a hand on Angel's forehead. "...No. If there's something wrong, it's not because of a ghost," she said.

"...This is the second time we've been in this house," Bryant said. The monster was getting closer. "The first time we came here, I was the only one who came out alive. But I'm gonna protect you, so you can escape, okay?"

[Book the Hero]

"...What?" Joseph said. "What does that mean, what is coming?!"

[quackers are yummylicious]

"What is it?" Denny asked, eyeing the walls, wondering how easily he could break them.

[Rose Hathaway]

"Bryant, what are you talking about? We've never been here before!" Elizabeth said. He wasn't making any sense. It was impossible that they could have died before.
