Stealing Secrets

Hidden in the Woods

TW: SWEARING, THEFT

This time, it was daylight when Tommy woke up. He slept the whole night through. Wilbur was gone, he just assumed that he went to get something better to eat. Tommy got up and didn't really know what to do. So, he laid back down and just stared at the ceiling. He didn't know what time it was when he got up. He just got breakfast, and hoped that no one would enter, not sure why he didn't want anyone there, but he didn't care to much. He got dressed and was about to get food when Wilbur walked in.

"Oh, your up, I was starting to think you died." Wilbur said grabbing his phone. "Where are you going?" Tommy asked. "There's some weird area around the hotel, we've been trying to find it, wanna come?"  Wilbur asked, half way out the door. "Yeah sure, give me a second." Tommy got his shoes and went with him. Still slipping them on, as he walked down the stairs (and nearly falling,) went out the door of the hotel, and walked to the side. "Your not gonna kill me right?" Tommy asked, kind of expecting to see Wilbur pull out a knife. "I'll try." Wilbur said calmly, now Tommy knew he was gonna die, but instead, he saw George and Tubbo, well, mostly George, Tubbo had climbed up a tree and appeared to have nearly fallen cause he was clinging on pretty hard.

"Got my phone, and Tommy is alive." Wilbur said in a "I told you so" voice. "Alright, anyway, I found a path just up there, it's a bit over grown though." George said. "What do you mean you found it?! I saw it first!" Tubbo said offended. "Ok then, you found it, whatever. Anyway, follow me." Said George as he walked of. Tubbo let go and got down from the tree as everyone followed George. "Ow! Fuck! I think I got a splinter!" Tommy complained "I've got 40, so shut up." Wilbur spat. "Fuck you." They walked for what felt like forever.  Finally, the saw something off path. "The hell is?" Tubbo asked, with fear in his voice.

"Is that a house?" George asked, with dirt on his face from falling earlier. They broke off the path and ran towards the house, ducking underneath branches that was quite easy for George. Once they got to the house, they could see how destroyed it was. It has trees growing inside of it, branches sticking in and out. Vines growing everywhere, nearly hidden behind bushes of green. There was a sign saying :WARNING: and all that. It was clearing falling apart. But something about it was....tempting.

Tommy walked up to it, touching, and it instantly breaking with bugs crawling out, and he knew, he wanted to see inside. "Come on! Let's see the inside!" Tommy shouted out. "Uh, this does not look very safe, guess this is how I'm going to die." Tubbo whispered to himself. He ran up with them as Tommy was way ahead. The door was easy to open, it was bright inside with the windows broken. There was nothing inside, the floor groaned as they walked inside, it felt like walking on thin ice. There was no furniture in the tiny house, but they new, if the floor breaks, they'd fall into the basement. They could see stairs going up and down. Tubbo crept to the kitchen, Wilbur walked around the the living room a bit more, and George just stayed where he was, to nervous to move. "You realize you'll fall if you stay in one place right?" Wilbur said, raising one eyebrow. "Oh crap"- George said starting to walk away from the spot he was on. In the kitchen, most of the cabinet doors aren't there. Some of them were loose, half way off. A handle for the sink was gone, and when you turned it on, it just shook with green water coming out. "What's in the fridge?" Tommy asked Tubbo, to nervous to open it himself. "I don't know."  Tubbo said, already opening it. As soon as he did, a smell filled the house, a smell that made them tearful, Tommy gagged at the stench, choking down his own vomit.

So, it smelled. Bad.

"WHO THE HELL FARTED? YOU REALLY NEED TO GET YOURSELF CHECKED!" George yelled across the house. Tubbo shut it, looking pale and green. "Let's leave the kitchen." He said quietly. Tommy just nodded and walked out slowly. "Let's look upstairs." Tommy said once he left the room. They all went up, all nervous of them falling through the floor. When they got up though, there was furniture. I rocking chair with a missing arm, and a bed with torn up bed sheets. "This looks like a horror scene." Wilbur said quietly. "Look at the bathroom." The bathroom had a rusted toilet with a missing sink that looked like it was torn of the wall. The bathtub was rusting as well, looking like dried blood. "I bet there's a body in the basement." Tubbo said looking around. "I dare Wilbur to go down there on his own." Tommy said, staring at the rust. "What? Why me?!" Wilbur asked, offended. "Cause your the only one who has a chance of living." Tommy said staring at Wilbur. He shook his head, walking off and down the stairs. They went down and stood at the top of the stairs.
