"What? See now you're just messing with me stop it."

Brooke turned to look at me. Her brown eyes pierced mine with pity.

"No y/n, this really is the murder house."

I kind of just stared there in shock. That didn't make sense. If this was such a big thing why didn't Tate tell me about it?

I decided since I lived there and it seemed fine that they were overreacting.

"Are you guys coming or not?"

They hesitantly looked at me before Lily stepped up to go inside.

"C'mon guys, are you all chickens? This is so cool!"

Matt immediately tried to erase the concern etched into his face and followed us in along with Brooke and Sarah.

Once we were inside I saw their eyes scan everything like kids at a candy store. I found it kind of odd how mesmerized they seemed by everything but I guess being in the infamous "murder house" was a big deal to them.

"So...you guys wanna chill up in my room"

"No no no. We need to check out the basement. I heard that's where doctor Montgomery killed his patients." Lily said excitedly.

I was a little put off by her fascination with these murders but went along with it.

"Alright whatever, follow me"

Sarah, Brooke and Matt still hadn't said a word since we had stepped inside and looked particularly horrified as we walked down the basement steps.

It was dark and I realized I hadn't gone down here since that weird meeting with the neighbor Constance.

"Well, I hope your amazed!" I spoke sarcastically to Lily.

The look on her face genuinely did look captivated though.

"I just can't believe you actually live here."

"I think it's creepy."

Matt quickly agreed with Sarah.

"Seriously guys? Every house has a paste this ones just seems to be a little darker than others."

"Can we please just go back upstairs." Brooke pleaded. She obviously hated it down here.

"Sure."

As I started leading them back up Lily protested.

"y/n! Please give me a tour of the basement. Please!"

I thought about it for a minute and then decided to. I mean what's the worst that could happen?

"Alright fine. You guys can just wait upstairs this will only take a minute."

"Why is this so cool to you anyway? It's just a house."

"It's not just a house. Besides I think it's cool how I actually get to be inside it. They have tours but no one can actually go on the property."
