Re: The Haunted House on the Hill Part 1

"I still want to look around downstairs when we're done." Elizabeth added.

Angel was out of breath and tired, and she staggered over to the wall to balance on while she walked back to bed. She looked up at Joseph. "Hey." she smiled weakly.

"Why? I think we should get back to the safe room ASAP," Denny frowned, looking around as he reached the first floor, moving towards the staircase to the basement.

by **Rose Hathaway** Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:26 pm

"I never got a chance to look. There could be something we need down here." Elizabeth said.

"The more time we spend out here, the higher chance the monster will catch us. Curiosity killed the cat," Denny told her, moving down the basement stairs.

"But we also need to get out of this house as fast as possible, and that means checking everywhere to find a way to do that.." Leo said from behind them. "We don't know how long the Safe Room will be safe."

---

Joseph looked at her, a little mad about her getting up.

by **Rose Hathaway** Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:37 pm

"Exactly. Angel and Aria need to be looked at by a doctor, and..." she trailed off when she realized they have to tell Bryant's parents about him. "Look, the faster we get out, the less lives we risk." Elizabeth recovered quickly.

Angel looked at the look on his face. "What's wrong?" she asked him, confused. She took his hand and gave it a squeeze.

by Book the Hero Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:40 pm

"Angel...no more getting out of the bed." Joseph said. "You need to rest."

by quackers are yummylicious Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:41 pm

"That brings up the question, how do we get out? Until there's a specific goal, it's better to play it safe. We'll find a different safe house if that one doesn't hold," Denny shot back. He held Liz's hand tighter, trying to comfort her without putting them at risk.

by Book the Hero Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:45 pm

"If we do that, then we make no progress, and we're worse off then we were when it does stop being safe." Leo responded.

by **Rose Hathaway** Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:48 pm

Angel sighed. "I had to help Liz. She's practically my sister. She takes priority over me. Just like you, just like everyone else." she said, a serious look on her face.

"I really do agree with Leo. I think our goal for now should be find out everything we can about the house, and what Bryant was talking about when he said we'd been here before. I want to know what that journal is about." Elizabeth said firmly.

"If we're prancing around here all the time, we're gonna get killed!" Denny finished, stopping in front of the cell. He pulled Liz closer, anxiously biting his lip.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:55 pm

Nobody noticed it earlier, apparently. In the corner of the cell was a small box, inside of it were two hourglasses. In on of the hourglasses, the sand apparently defied gravity and moved up and down randomly through the neck. In the other hourglass, however, it was like time stopped. The sand inside looked like it was flowing normally, but upon closer inspection, it seems as if the sand was frozen in mid-air.

Denny stepped inside the cell, bringing Liz with him and crouching near the box. "That's...weird."

by Book the Hero Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:01 am

When he got to them, Leo exmined the hourglasses. "Strange...we should ake this back with us."

---

"And you take priority over me." Joseph responded.

by quackers are yummylicious Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:03 am

"Careful," Denny hissed.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:11 am

OOC: Cue plot point. Cat Smile

---

The frozen hourglass happened to slip out of Leo's hands, but instead of shattering, it broke into two equal parts. The sand began to spill out, forming a '1' on the ground. The sand turned a bloody red color, before fading away, leaving the broken hourglass behind.

Memories of another timeline began to flow into everyone's minds.

---

Aria felt a chill go down her spine when she received her memories, even though there weren't that many. That unlocked window on the second floor beheaded her so cleanly, like a guillotine. She tried to remember what happened after that, but nothing came to mind.
She shuddered. Did something just brush against her neck just then? Maybe it was her imagination.

OOC: Info on the timeline is up on the OOC thread.

by Book the Hero Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:42 am

Leo's Death.

"All of you, run!" Leo called to the rest, as he held off Steve, who was currently ascending the stairs. "I'll hold him off!"

"Leo, wai-!" Bryant called from the next flight of stairs.

"Don't worry, I got this!" Leo shot back, before he could finish. "Sides...I owe this guy an ass-kicking for what he did to Denny..."

He then turned to the quickly ascending monster, and cracked his knuckles, before getting into a boxing stance. "...Come at me, bro."

---

OOC: Then imagine a big fight, with both sides taking blows, before Leo tackles Steve down the stairs, and the memory ends. Also, seeing as bryant had to be present, I hope no one minds I used him.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jan 11, 2012 12:56 am

Angel was in a room with Bryant and Joseph. She was holding Joseph's hand tightly as they entered, looking around for clues. The group began to search the bedroom when the door was thrown open and Steve ran into the room.

Angel couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry, this guy is weak. I got it." she pulled out her whip, jumped in front of the monster with Joseph and Bryant behind her, and snapped it at the beast. However, it made a sound like it was banging on metal. It only angered the monster, and it lunged at her.

The next two minutes were filled with screaming, until the monster, finally satisfied, ran off. The entire time, Joseph and Bryant were frozen with fear, until it left Angel behind on the ground. Her limbs were bent at odd angles, and her breathing was raspy. "Jo...Joseph..." she said weakly.

"Angel, stay with me!" Joseph yelled.

"I... I'm glad I went down.... protecting people... I love..." she said. "Bryant..."

"Yes?" Bryant said weakly, his voice choking.

"Be strong, little buddy. Stay gold." she smiled.

"Angel..." he said sadly, tears starting to flow.

"Angel, don't you start dying on me now!" Joseph yelled again.

"I...I lo...love...you..." And it was here that Angel took her last breath.

Bryant and Joseph were left alone, crying.

"Stay back!" Denny shouted, aiming his pistol at the monster's eye. The bullet missed, only serving to make it angrier. It lunged at Denny again and again, managing to dig its claws into his arms and torso.

He heard Liz scream and he turned his head towards her, where she was standing by the stairs with Bryant and Leo. "Keep her there-" he shouted, his last word turning into a scream as the monster snapped off his arm, eating it.

His other hand still had the gun, and he managed to fire into the monster's eye, eliciting a cry of pain from it, before it scampered off. Denny's blood splattered to the floor from his arm, or lack thereof, and the multiple gashes across his body. His clothes were in tatters. Still, he managed to turn back to his friends, a comical grin on his face, which looked quite gruesome from the blood dripping down his face, holding up his hand in a shaky 'v' for victory.

"Denny, y-you're hurt!" Liz cried out, breaking the silence. She started moving towards him, Bryant and Leo following after.

"Don't worry, we'll find some bandages and fix you up," Bryant told him.

"Why...? It...It doesn't hurt...a...bit..." Denny trailed off, before collapsing, his blood running out over the floor.

by **Rose Hathaway** Sat Jan 14, 2012 12:20 am

Aria could feel wind blowing from the bedroom door beside her. Her eyes widened. "Liz, Bryant, Joesph, Quil, come on! There's a breeze in here!" she said excitedly.

"It could just be a draft from the air conditioner." Liz pointed out.

"No, the breeze is too warm for that. It has to be a window." Aria said, and opened the door. She was right. There was a window. "Come on!!" she said happily, and ran over. She stuck her head out. "It doesn't look like too fa-" A window slammed shut. A body dropped to the floor. A head managed to escape the house. Elizabeth screamed.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sat Jan 14, 2012 12:52 am

Blood trickled down Bryant's face. One hand covered his right eye, soaked in blood. The other hand held a small pocket knife.
Bryant let out a cold, hollow laugh. It hurt so much...but why did it feel so good? He smirked and held the knife up to his other eye.
"Stop it, Bryant." A strong hand grabbed Bryant's wrist, pulling the knife away from his eye.

OOC: Rose has the second part, I think~

by **Rose Hathaway** Sat Jan 14, 2012 1:03 am

Joseph grabbed Bryant's hand and pulled it away from his eye. He yanked the knife out of his hand, and threw it on the ground.

Bryant stooped to pick it up, and Quil kicked it away. "Don't even think about it." she said darkly.

Liz ripped some of the tattered bottom of her shirt off to form a cloth to stifle the bleeding. Bryant smacked her hand away. "Bryant, stop this, please!" Liz was crying now, her eyes already red from the loss of Denny and Angel. "We don't want to see you get hurt, that's what Denny, Leo, Angel, and Aria all died doing! They don't want to see you dead, and they died trying to protect you!"

"I don't want to be protected! I don't want to see my friends die, and I don't want to live without them!" Bryant yelled back. He ran over and snatched up the knife, and he motioned to plunge it in his other eye. Joseph grabbed him before he could, and Quil snatched the knife. Bryant struggled against him, but Joseph was stronger than he was. "Let me go join them in Heaven. Please, Liz, Joesph, Quil! Let me join them!"

Elizabeth shook her head, crying even harder. She was unable to take any more of this. She snatched the knife away from Quil, and shoved it in her own chest out of a broken heart.

"Liz! No!" Quil yelled, running to her side as she slumped to the ground.

Bryant started crying harder now, and Joseph let a few tears escape. He hugged Bryant tightly for comfort and for his own safety.

Quil started crying as she checked Liz for a pulse. But she was gone.

by quackers are yummylicious Sun Jan 15, 2012 11:50 pm

Quil let out a scream of anger. How could she let her friends just die like that? Everyone was gone except for her and Joseph. She didn't count Bryant since he was fucking nuts.

She slammed her fist into the wall in frustration, quite surprised when a hole in it opened up, swallowing her whole, leaving Bryant and Joseph rather speechless, staring at the spot where the girl had just been only a few seconds ago.

Joseph's death.

---

"...Damn, out of bullets." Joseph, his clothes now soaked in Steve's blood, said as he flung the gun to the side, as he stood over Steve's 6th corpse. "...No matter how many times, you'll just keep on coming back...At least I've paid you back for everyone I lost..."

"...Bryant, go." He said after a moment, to the young boy who had been staying behind him, in the cell, for safety.

"But, Jo-"

"I SAID GO!" Joseph shouted, before sighing. "Bryant, please...I'm not going to be able to make it..."

After amoment, nothing happened, but Bryant left the cell, and escaped, leaving what was left of the being, know as Joseph.

---

When Bryant had returned later, he had found Joseph's corpse, over a 7th Steve he had been able to kill before succumbing to his wounds.

And that was it...

Denny...
Leo...
Aria...
Angel...
Liz...
Quil...
And Joseph...

Now only he remained.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Mon Jan 16, 2012 10:53 am

"Damnit!" Bryant yelled, slamming his fist into the wall. He could've helped them, he could've prevented their deaths... But now it was too late.

A small, white blob bounced into the basement, stopping in front Bryant. There was a brown journal attached to its back. "Kasuden kutoyaha watanaa?"

Bryant slowly nodded, somehow understanding what the blob said. "...Yeah."

The blob motioned to the journal attacked to its back. "Sude tonserepu masazuuryu wareko."

Bryant picked up the journal and looked through the blank pages. "Ryuuzu...?"

"Rusu imeshoni kokodoocho. Sumakide gatokorusun zohotebesu worareso, to kuigatanaa. Rukidega tokorubonokasa wonkaji gatanaa."

Bryant stared at the blob in awe. "No way...That's impossible..." A pen appeared in his hand.

"Sumakide gatokorusun zohotebesu worareso, to kuigatanaa," the blob repeated.

Bryant paused, before signing his name in the inside cover of the journal. "There, I signed it. Now what?"

A light appeared from inside the box that was inside the cell. The blob appeared to smirk, before quickly bouncing out of the basement. "Rewind."
