I panted opening the boiler rooms door.
"HOLY SHIT"
"What! what is it!?"
"The grandma scared me!"
I put my hand over my heart as I looked at the grandma who just sat there in the middle of the room.
"Fucking hell grandma, chill on the teleporting for a second"
I started to walk to the door with my hand still over my heart.
———————————————————
We got the snake key from inside the deputies neck. I didn't grab it because I wasn't about to stick my hand into someone's neck. We started to run to the snake door that was down by the other set of stairs to the right. There was the regular goopies but there was a new one. This one crawled on all fours. Now I may hate spiders and baby dolls but things crawling towards me....don't get me started. These ones were weak though so it made me feel a bit better. Finally we go to the top of the stairs. We didn't waist any ammo by shooting the goopies we just ran and blocked.
We headed to the main area when two goopies, one strong and one regular, started to form. I shot the regular one with the shotgun making it instantly explode while Ethan shot the strong one with his handgun to weaken it a little. I shot it twice and it died.
"That goodness that's over"
"Seemed a bit too easy though....hopefully that was all"
"Ethan...don't start please I would like to believe we could have one easy part to this whole thing"
"Ok ok"
We went up stairs and went to the snake door that was at the top. I walked in and didn't pay attention going straight to the drawers not looking up once. When I looked up I gasped holding my heart again.
"Jesus grandma AGAIN!?"
Ethan started laughing at me for getting scared by grandma again.
"Shut up Ethan! I told you she would be a big threat in the future! Do you see how she's trying to give me a heart attack!?"
He tried to stop laughing to answer me but couldn't. Honestly it was a little funny so I laughed quietly too.
I walked around grandma and grabbed things that were in the room. We got another backpack which was exciting.
I saw a clock and globe by the bed with a note that said 'the same time as the other clocks'. I knew it was 10:15 on the clocks but I decided we should come back to this since there was another snake door to go to.

I hate this room.
This room obviously belonged to Lucas. We were currently looking for the button to open the attic door in here.
I found it and pushed the button.
The reason why I hated this room was because of all the noises. It sounded like someone else was here just like his journal said. Lucas killed a kid in the attic and said he would hear him still and I'm assuming that's what we were hearing. I went upstairs but didn't see anyone. There was a wooden shotgun and I grabbed it.
"Hey we can both have a shotgun now"
"Oh yes! That's awesome y/n, seeing as you've had the shotgun most this time"
I sheepishly laughed.
"Hehe yeah"
I cleared my throat and turned my head continuing to explore this area. There was a few goodies we picked up but what caught my eye was the shadow picture.
"Huh thankfully we don't have to look for this piece"
Ethan chuckled and grabbed it making the shape of what it was supposed to be. There was a doll house besides it that opened and inside was one of the "keys". I grabbed it and pocketed it for later. There was also a VHS in here labelled "happy birthday".
'I wonder how happy this can be'
I put it in my backpack and went down not wanting to be in the haunted attic any longer.
We went down stairs first and traded the shotguns.
Then we made our way back to the master bedroom. I changed the clock to match the time of the others. Suddenly the bed started to move to the side.
"Huh this house never stops to amaze me"
"Well if the house wasn't run by crazy people I think I would have enjoyed it"
I laughed lightly and went to the stairs under the bed. We walked through looking out for anything that would come at us.
We walking into a room.
"I assume this is the work shop and I wish we never had to come in here"
"What we're they even doing here? Like why do they need so many cow parts they didn't even eat the cows!?"
"Ethan I don't think that's the problem right now" I held back a smile.
I saw the last "key" and grabbed it.
"Alright let's blow this bitch"
Ethan stopped me before I could open the door. He spun me around so I was facing him and kissed me. We pulled away.
"What was that for?"
"Mmm I just wanted too" he shrugged.
'Damn you for being so cute'
I blushed because it was such an odd setting to do something like that but grabbed his hand and headed out.
———————————————————
We currently stood in the trailer panting because there was a crawling goopie outside now.
"Where...did....they even come from"
I tried catching my breath for what felt like the 100th time.
"Who....fucking knows at this point"
Ethan panted besides me.
"Well we have a tape we need to watch before going to the "party"....so let's watch it"
Ethan didn't answer he just breathed deeply and grabbed the tape. He paused for a second and just stared at me.
"What? Is there something on my face?"
He smiled lightly
"Just a little goop"
He quietly laughed as he wiped it off my face. Then he just stood there.
"What cha looking at now"
I stared into his eyes.
"Your eyes are just very beautiful, ya know"
I blushed and turned my head a little.
"Ok charmer we need to get out of her remember"
I smiled as I looked at him.
"Yeah I remember"
He smiled one last time, staring into my soul. Then he turned to the tv putting in the tape.
'I can't wait till we get out of here so I can have that man all to myself'
I smiled at the thought.
