Truth or Death?

Time to panic.

I was woke up by the door bell goin off like mad.

How long was I sleeping? I looked at the clock beside my bed.

10:00 p.m.

I guess I was more tired than I remember.

I got up out of bed and made my way to the front door and thought.

'where are my parents?'

I looked around the dark house and jumped when the door bell rang again. I walked to the door and opened it, but to my surprise, no one was there.

Was I imagining it?

Closing the door I heard a raspy voice say my name.

"Hello...?" I said in a little voice.

I walked out and looked around my front yard. When I got to the side walk I heard something.

Crack!

I screamed and was pinned to the ground hard.

"unnngh!"

what the hell was on me?

I shoved and squirmed as hard as I could and when I was finally free, I booked it back to my door.

When I looked back, I saw someone lying on the ground. I went back to see who it was and stopped right next to it and it grabbed my foot. I heard a female voice scream out and I screamed back.

"Gotcha!!" I heard Faith shout at me.

"Fuck you Faith! you scared the shit out of me!"

Sure enough Tessa came out from hiding, smiling and giggling.

I pushed up from the dirt and stomped towards my front door.

"Aww come on Ronnie! it was just a joke!" Faith stated.

I stopped in mid tracks and turned around slowly.

"Yeah as if I'm not scared shitless already! because of you two I have to fuck myself up mentally just to stay at a desolated house!"

"Oh you'll be fine! come on let's go!"

I growled.

"I'm not even dressed!"

"So? just throw some flats on and your ready!"

I went inside and bounded up my stairs once again to put on shoes and grab my key to the house.

Before I headed down the stairs, I heard Tessa talking to Faith.

"How long do you think before she comes screaming out of the house?"

"Oh I don't know.. thirty seconds after she goes in?"

They laughed.

Those bitches I'll show them.

When I made it known I was coming down the stairs, I flashed a flashlight in their faces.

"Let's go." I mumbled.

We walked out the front door and I pulled it shut behind me locking it. Then we started off on our little journey...

Maybe ten minutes after we left, we were standing in front of the dark boarded up house just outside the fence. The fence was there for obvious reasons. it served as a warning because allot of people who have been in there, never made it out.

"Well here we are Ronnie. You scared?" Tessa asked.

I swallowed hard. Fuck yeah I was scared. God knows what I would find in there!

"Nope."

"Liar."

Damn she knew me so well!

"Can I change to Truth now?" I asked shakily.

"No! we are already here! now hurry up before we get caught!" Faith said giving me a shove.

I looked back at the house and squeezed my way in through the fence, when I saw a cat that made me jump and I ran to the porch.

"Holy shit kitty! go away!" I whispered.

I heard giggling behind me and I sneered.

"Hurry up!" Faith whispered to me.

"Shut up!"

I looked back to Tessa and Faith standing in the moonlight, watching with fascination, and I mumbled under my breath.

How was I supposed to get in the house? it was all boarded up. I didn't know how to pick locks or break windows without making noise!

I looked around for something I could break the windows with and found a decent sized rock. When I threw it at the window it broke with a loud shatter. Just as luck would have it a car turned the corner and its headlights flashed to the porch. Shit!

I tried to quickly crawl inside the window frame as fast as I could without cutting myself before the car could identify me, falling into a pile of trash huddled by the window.

When I was inside, the car turned the corner and went down the road.

Buzz. Buzz.

I jumped as my phone went of in my pocket, notifying me that I had a text.

'i can't believe you actually went in! we will wait out here for a few hours to make sure you don't chicken out!'

Fuck you Faith. i thought.

Putting my phone back into my pocket I looked around the empty house. What the hell was I thinking..

The stale must lurking inside the house was stuffed up my nose as I wandered about the house.

Looking down I noticed a fire poker lying on the floor. I hugged it to my chest, feeling relief that I had at least that to protect me. Still observing the empty, neglected house, I noticed there was trash from fast food restaurants and thought to myself.

'i wonder if that was the last meal they ate before things went to shit.'

Silly Ronnie. it would have burnt with the fire.

So there have been people in here! See I was fine. Nothing to worry about. Sitting down on an old torn up cushion probably from a couch I yawned. I could just go back to sleep for the rest of the night and be home soon enough.

I closed my eyes for a minute when I heard shuffling of feet and floor boards creaking nearby. My eyes flew open and I sat up straight.

What the hell was that?

I look around flustered and spoke softly.

"Hello?"

No answer.

But the footsteps and creaking kept getting louder.

"Alright guys cut it out! I know its you!" I got up and began looking for a way they could have gotten in with my flashlight when I froze in my tracks.

There in front of me was a young woman no older than twenty maybe. She looked as though she was from the sixties, old clothes and everything. But what scared me the most was seeing the blood all over her. She had reddish brown hair and when she smiled that's when my heart began to speed up. What I haven't told you yet, was she had a big gaping hole through her stomach and she was walking slowly towards me...
