Dark Hidden Secrets

Chapter 4

Ashlynn was intrigued to go back and look for the enchanted cabin that she saw the other day. Ali and Axel on the other hand were pretty scared to go back to that horrific place but only liking that they could be somewhere where the parents weren't. They did not get the appeal that Ashlynn had gotten, they were confused about how she thought it was remotely good looking until they slid down the hill to enter the woods and then all of a sudden it was like Axel was like Ashlynn, he was very excited and thought that it was completely beautiful in there. Ali was now confused because just a couple of seconds earlier he didn't like this place. It was almost like they were under some type of spell.

They travelled around for a little bit getting lost and turned around, but Ashlynn and Axel were determined to find the cabin. Eventually, after around 20 minutes, they had found it. "Look guys it's so pretty!" shouted Ashlynn.

Axel gasped in awe "wow it's almost like I am able to see it like how you see it Ashlynn and it's so beautiful!" 

Ali just shook her head still not understanding what they saw in this place. They walked inside preparing the cabin to be sleepable for the night. 

Ali and Axel knew about how bad Ashlynn's life was as she had explained it to them a little bit, that is why they knew why she wanted to leave her house for a while. Only if they knew how bad it really was they would've never agreed to go to this place. If only they knew how Ashlynn really views her life.

"Look at all these cool things!" Ashlynn was pointing to a bookshelf with books, crystals, and a little pride flag on it. The cabin almost looked like it was made for them in a way to draw them close and to make it feel like it was home. 

They set up the sleeping bags In the middle of the room and unpacked the rest of their stuff. "Look what I broughtttttt!" Ashlynn said proudly, giving them a mischievous grin. The two looked at what was in her hands and gasped.
"No no no, I'm not doing that," Axel exclaimed, while the ouija board was in Ashlynn's hand. She got up and walked closer to them looking down at both of them, pushing the board toward their faces. 

"Come on guys, we have to at least try, I didn't steal this from my dad's closet for nothing!" they did not like the idea of it at all but were a little curious truth be told. Axel didn't want to have any part in it, he even backed up and pressed his back on the wall. "You guys can play with it but there is no way in hell I'm going to be playing that game with you guys." 

"Fine be a pussy then." Ali teased sticking her tongue out at him. 

Axel narrowed his eyes at her and stuck out his tongue. Ali and Ashlynn said a little chant before they placed their hands on the planchette. The longer Axel watched them the more appealing it became to him. Almost like there was something telling him to play. "Move over bitches the queens coming." 

They moved over and all sat down in a circle and started playing, asking basic questions at first, it got deeper and deeper. "Um, guys I think we went a little too far....whos zozo?" asked Axel. Ashlynn and Ali looked at each other then back at Axel and shrugged. "How would we know?" they started getting scared and moved the planchette to goodbye and then they sat there in silence for a while trying to figure out what just happened.

*SNAP* 

Suddenly there was a sound of a twig breaking from outside the window. They all got up and threw the board in the box. They all tucked into their sleeping bags moving them so their backs were towards the wall and they were facing the door. 

"This shit is not happening right now. I knew this was going to be a bad idea" Axel said shaking nervously. 

They stayed up for a bit longer huddling together in their sleeping bags until they all eventually fell asleep.
