1: Meeting The Group

Enna's pov

The drive from Arizona to Texas was long and horrible. I didn't have the money to fly so I thought a 13 hour drive wouldn't hurt. It did. Honestly I thought I could make it the entire way but I did have to stop at an old parking lot to sleep for a little while, even if I was basically made out of energy drinks from the amount I drank.

However, I'm here and I'm alive. I'm still fucking tired though.

I turn off my car's engine, parked along side four other cars here. I sigh and take my keys out, putting my finger through a keychain to hold them and then grabbing my phone and wallet, shoving them into my pockets. I'm glad I'd wore what I did for today. It's hot here and being me, I overheat too quickly.

"Here we fucking go again." I smile to myself in my mirror.

I clip up my hair and then open the car door, getting out. Upon seeing a group stood waiting, my body tenses and I immediately regret coming.

"Oh fuck me. Did I forget I had anxiety or some shit?" I huff to myself, shutting the door and then opening my boot.

"Let us help you! We've already put everyone else's bags away!" An old man jogs over with a woman by his side.

"Oh right, thank you so much. I'm Enna." I smile as I take out my two suitcases and duffle bag. The woman takes one of my suitcases and the man takes the other one while I'm left with the heafty black bag. I shut my boot and aim my keys at the dark blue car, locking it with a click of a button.

"Oh nice to meet you sweetheart, I'm Vinny and that's my husband Ricky. We're the owners if you couldn't guess." The older woman smiles at me as we walk past the group of people my age. I decide to not look at them and maybe just introduce myself later.

"So the run down of the house is the same as what I've told everyone else, you can all have your own rooms since this is a pretty big place. There's four bathrooms for you, seven bedrooms, a lounge, dining room, kitchen, basement, all that. We had our kids with us but you know, they grow up and leave the nest!" Ricky explains as he finds an empty room and puts my suitcase down. I watch the woman also put my other down so I do the same with my bag.

"Okay thank you. Is there anything I should know about the housekeeping or anything?" I ask, fiddling with the lace brown top I have over my black bralette.

"No honey, we'll leave that up to you guys to keep it clean. Don't worry, you can have a few parties among yourselves but no one else can come and you mustn't break anything." Vinny smiles sweetly.

"Alright! Sweet!" I nod and already feel better. This could be good! This could be great even!

"Now come on, we'll let you meet the group and then explain things to you!" Ricky beckons me to follow him with a simple wave of his hand.

We walk over to the group and I stand there akwardly until someone notices me.

"Oh hi! My name's Rachell! These are my friends, corpse and Sykkuno!" A pretty girl shakes my hand abruptly.

"Right! Sorry sorry I'm Enna. Nice to meet you all." I reply, already flustered from the sudden interaction.

"Hey! Nice to meet you too!" Sykkuno waves. I smile and look at the taller guy with black, curly hair, he's wearing a face mask which isn't uncommon so I'm not bothered.

"Hi." He nods at me, looking more than awkward. I stand there, stunned by his deep voice. I'd never heard something so low but that did remind me of a streamer called corpse with the same voice. I also listen to his music a lot too. Speaking of, I listened to his latest on the way here. Even if it's him, I don't want to make him uncomfortable by saying 'Oh HeY I KnOw YoU fRoM TwItCh aNd I liStEn To YoUr MusIc!'.

"Have you met the others?" Sykkuno asks me. I shake my head so he walks over with me.

"This is Enna! Shes the last one to arrive." Sykkuno gestures to me.

"Heya! I'm Tyler, this is Ein and this is Sasha! You're very pretty might I add!" Tyler smiles at me, his blonde hair reflecting the sun.

"Thank you." I chuckle awkwardly.

"Now that you're all properly aquatinted! We'll run over quickly what you're meant to do and then be on our way!" Vinny claps her hands. We all stand near eachother, looking at the old people. I mostly stick to that corpse guy's side out of the comfort he brings me in this odd occurance.

"In the morning, preferably 6am, you'll need to split off and sort who's doing what, you need to harvest the chicken eggs, feed the cattle and sheep which are in the same field anyway, water the plants, make yourselves food, probably restart the power in the basement as it goes off at night, let the horse into the main paddock and then at night, all together, you all need to get the horses back into their pens. Sound good?" The old man asks.

"And that's all right?" Sasha asks.

"Yep! So easy job for the next 28 days!" Vinny nods at us all.

"Perfect! I'm sure we can do that!" Rachell claps happily.

"Then don't let us down by not following this one, simple, rule." Ricky's face goes dark. I feel anxiety build in my stomach and hug my arms over myself, the anxiety causing a painful spike in my abdomen.

"Don't. Go into. The woods. Please. That's all we ask." Ricky looks down.

"W-why?" Ein asks, almost like he doesn't want an answer.

"It's dangerous. There has been... Reports so to speak. Especially women aren't safe." Vinny chimes in.

I swallow hard and look to the woods foot.

"Hey, don't worry about it. You won't be going in there anyway will you?" Corpse suddenly whispers to me leaning down a little so he can be close to my ear. I nod and still keep the same worried expression as the pain in my stomach pulses.

I feel an arm around me and a hand rubbing my other arm. I look down and see rings decorating the hands fingers. I look up at corpse as he looks away from me.

That made me feel better, knowing someone, even if they were awkward about it, would be willing to comfort me. I like that. It's sweet.
