my first fic🤯🤯
I don't plan on making this NSFW at all but if I do I will put a tw at the beginning of the chapter (same goes for gore, death, etc)
I'll also be making the reader gn so I'll be using they/them pronouns ofc
Also toby is I bit of a F...
I could feel my heart pounding in your chest, it hurt
but with sharp, shallow breaths, I continued running
Until my body gave up
I collapsed
The next thing I knew, I was in my bedroom, staring at the ceiling, my alarm loudly blaring beside my head.
I got up, taking the batteries from my alarm since the off button no longer worked.
I held your head as I noticed the unbearable headache I had; even so, I went to my closet and picked out a decent outfit.
I lazily slumped down the steps where my mother met me, hurriedly kissed my cheek, and rushed towards the door. "I'll be getting home late tonight; order whatever you want for dinner; there's some money on the table," she said, and before I could say goodbye, she was gone.
I felt hungry and headed toward the kitchen where I saw my friend Eva already downing a bowl of cereal.
"I- When did you get here..?"
it wasn't uncommon for her to come in without so much as a call or even a text
"A few minutes ago.... your mom let me in," she said carelessly, more focused on breakfast rather than giving me context.
"Alright then.." I went to the kitchen and used the last of the milk to make myself a bowl of cereal, sitting down next to her and quietly eating
Until Eva broke the silence
"Hey, remember that old run-down house we used to explore, the one in the woods?"
"uh... barely"
"I was kinda wondering if we could go there again... I'm curious if it's even still standing..."
"I don't; that place was spooky... and it's pretty far in the woods"
As I continued with the remainder of my cereal, silence descended upon us once more.
"pleeeease...?" she said with a whiny voice as she leaned over falling onto my shoulder
"I mean I'm not necessarily against it, I guess.... we could check it out"
before I could say another word, Eva was already trying to drag me through the door
"ok, ok... I get it, let me get my shoes on... jeez.." I bargained as she impatiently waited at the door.
I slipped into my shoes, tying up the laces.
Once I was done, she grabbed my hand and rushed me out the door, only slowing when we reached the entrance of the Woods
"Dude....do you even remember how to get there...?" I said, out of breath due to the unexpected running
"I think so... I remember following a dirt path, and then seeing a tree with something painted on it... and following that!" she spoke, already heading into the woods.
"That sounds familiar..." I huffed, still out of breath as I rushed up to walk beside her, trusting her instincts on where to go
After a while, we got to a tree with the same strange marking Eva was talking about
It was a circle with an x going through it, not like I got much of a look at it as I noticed Eva was already ahead of me, going off-trail
"Look! Over here!"
"I think I see it!"
Running towards her, I found the house much easier to see without all the trees blocking it.

We examined the outside of the building...not much of a looker...it was rotting, the paint chipping off and the outside covered in vines...
When we walked inside, there wasn't much going on ground level either: rotting wood, dust, abandoned bee hives, and some furniture that I assumed was left by the previous owner.
I decided to be brave and go upstairs first due to Eva being scared the floor would collapse, Eva anxiously followed behind me, gripping the rusted stair rail as if it would somehow save her, both of us curiously exploring different rooms on the second floor once we made it up.
"Anything interesting over there, Eva?"
"Not really... but I found some-" Eva jumped, a loud bang echoing behind us
(Hey it's the author here, apologies for this being so short, there will be another chapter out soon, have a wonderful day/night)
