Killer Romance

The New House

Ace's P.O.V.: 

I sat in the front seat earbuds in my ear as I watch the trees pass us by in a blur, shifting in my seat legs cramping as my butt goes numb from sitting for hours on end in the car. I glance at  Kassidy who is driving her eyes on the road, but moves so she can check on the three girls in the back who are all arguing over who is the hottest celebrity is makes me snicker. 

"What's so funny Ace? " Lorelei asked as she leans forward poking me in the head. 

Swatting her hand away. "I'm laughing at you guys arguing who's the hottest celebrity is. It's not a crime." 

"Well, who do you think is hot?" Londyn cuts in.

Humming as I think. "Taylor Lauter and Hugh Jackman."

"That wasn't what I was expecting," Valerie mutters to herself. 

"Who did you assume?" 

"Micheal Meyers," Kassidy answers making me snicker. 

"They said celebrities. Not movie characters." I say bluntly as I cross my arms. 

Kassidy chuckles. "I'm surprised you know the difference between the two." 

I scoff as I try to think of a comeback as a big house comes into view. I hear gasps in the back as I roll down the window to see our new home clearly, the pictures didn't do it justice, it's magnificent. Kassidy pulls into the driveway as she parks the car and turns it off. We all get out of the car grabbing our bags we follow Kassidy up the porch stairs as she pulls out the key and unlocks the front door.

"Welcome home guys," Kassidy says as she pushes the door open and walks in. 

"Yeah, welcome home," I mutter to myself as I enter the house.

I follow Kassidy as everyone sets their things down in the living room that's bare of nothing, besides the abundance of dust that'll make your head spin with constant sneezing.  Hesitating I really don't want to set my duffel bag on the floor with all the dust, keeping it slung over my shoulder I walk over to the bay window. The window is filthy, covered in dust and cobwebs. Filthy grime, staining it almost black; nobody has ever touched this in a lifetime. No wonder why we got the house for cheap. 

"Alright there are five bedrooms, there's an attic, a basement, two bedrooms have a jack and jill bathroom.  There's a dining room, a kitchen now the moving truck will be here in a couple of hours so go find your room, and then we'll reconvene here." Kassidy states as she ushers us all to explore the house. 

Valerie and Lorelei bolt upstairs, leaving Londyn, Kassidy, and me. 

"Is there a room downstairs?" 

"Yes, I made sure theirs a room on the ground floor for Londyn," Kassidy says making me nod my head.

"You can go explore Ace. " Londyn smiles as she gives my hand a squeeze. "Kass can help me to my room, you go and find one before the others leave you with a shitty room."

I nod my head, walking up the stairs sighing as I reach the second-floor landing. The floors creak to the right of me as I see Valerie walking out of one of the bedrooms. I look around two halls one of the left where Val is, and I'm assuming Lorelei is over there too. Then the hallway on my right which I take might have another bedroom, and whatever else is up here; adjusting the duffel bag on my shoulder I walk down the hallway humming as I entered the bedroom at the end hallway. Pushing the door open I enter a big room. 

"Decent size," I mutter as I walk around humming as I throw my duffel bag on the dusty floor. Dust flying upon impact. "Gonna need lots of cleaning."

Walking over to a door on the right side of the room, which is what I'm assuming is the door to the closet. Turning the knob I open the door revealing an old set of stairs leading up to a dark room, whistling as I close the door tapping my finger on the door debating.
