Our cab arrived at exactly 6:30 in the morning. I had mixed emotions and morning sickness since the morning i woke up. It was too difficult for me to eat anything. Henry insisted I eat something but that was the least of my worries. I was more worried about Michael.

Victoria offered to help take care of the place and Sammy while we were away which was much appreciated.

It took a couple of hours until we arrived at Hurricane, Utah. Everything was still the same just as I remembered it. Although some places were either shut down, torn, or brand new. It still gave me nostalgia.

"Are you okay?" Henry asked me placing his hand over mind in a reassuring manner. I nodded my head in agreement, afraid to speak. I felt like I could vomit at any second.

We slowly pulled up at the Afton's house. Mine was right across. It brought many.. many happy memories. We both got out of the cab and grabbed our belongings from the trunk and walked towards the abandoned home.

A for sale sign had been practically drowning in the tall field of grass. The house looked rotten. I could see the mold spreading over the dull paint of the house. But a car was parked right in the driveway. Must be a sign that Michael is here.

I took a deep breath before following Henry inside the house. As we walked up the steps the floor creaked. Like it could break any second now.

Henry slowly opened the door and we were greeted with blood stains on the rug and horrid smell of musty mixed with blood. It didn't help that I was already nauseous..

Henry called out Michael's name a couple of times but no answer. I decided to explore the place. Maybe he's asleep somewhere?

I went to the living room, dining room, and then the kitchen. On the island was a letter and a box. The rest of the house and furniture were dusty and practically falling apart besides those two items.

I slowly approached it and opened the letter "Open the Box - W"

I opened the box and it revealed a small cake. With words written "Welcome Home"

I sighed feeling a more sense of worry. So he knows that we were coming. I wished Michael would have told me about this situation in the first place. I'm sure we could've figured out something..

"Y/n! I found him!"

When henry shouted from the top of the staircase I immediately ran up the stairs and followed Henry in Michael's room. There I saw Michael laying on the bed with a bottle of pills next to him. "Michael..?" I slowly walked towards him carefully looking at every detail of him. He was still breathing.

"Michael" I reached for his hand slowly holding it. His eyes opened widely and he gasped for air. His eyes shot towards me. "Y/n?" he immediately sat up and held me tightly. "Mike.." I hugged him tighter. "What the hell are you doing here?" he let me go and looked at me with concern in his face.

I felt upset. "Are you not happy to see me? I had to come get you before you got yourself killed!" I snapped. "How could you? I'm your fiancé. We always tell each other everything" I spoke roughly. My eyes became watery. I wanted to slap him for being so stupid. He stared at me and looked down at the floor.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to worry you." he sighed "I was sure that you would want nothing to do with what I'm doing.."

"Michael. You're only putting yourself and others in danger. Especially if somehow William must know where we are.." Henry spoke.

"He left us a welcome letter.. Did you see it Michael?" I asked. His eyes widened with fear "A welcome letter?" he asked. I nodded my head "There's a cake too. He knows where we are. He knows we are here." I spoke. "I just need to save her. I need to save Elizabeth"

"No Michael! You need to leave this shit alone. She's gone. Dead. We can't do anything about it now. If you listen to William he will only torment you more!" Henry shouted angrily. I could only think about when would be the perfect moment to finally tell him.

"She's trapped inside that robot.. there are other kids trapped inside those damn robots!" Michael stood up facing Henry.

"Michael. There's a difference between good spirits and bad spirits. What you are dealing with is all of William's doings.." Henry spoke softly. I noticed Michael starting to shake of anger..

"Henry. Maybe there might be something in the basement.. If William knows we are here and the house is still functioning, William must've been staying here.."

Henry pressed his lips "I'm not sure. I'm going to take a look around." Henry turned on his heels and left the room.

"Michael.. tell me about these spirits."
