SIXTEEN

After telling Edwin and Crystal about the old house that was about to get demolished, they all four decided to go to the house one last time so they could solve the mystery. "So the house is getting demolished?" Edwin asked with his hands in his coat pockets "Jenny told us before Ester came in" Frances answered Edwin's question "The witch? What did she want?" Crystal looked at Frances "She was looking for the 'uptight one' which could either be you or Edwin" Charles chuckled at Frances comment "I am not uptight." Edwin denied it "I think you are"  Charles nod his head, agreeing with the brunette "Lets just focus on the haunted house that's in front of us." 

In front stood the old, large house with a fence surrounding it "Hm, looks creepy" She commented on the house design "It's getting torn down tomorrow morning" Crystal said once she read the white paper on the gate "We have one night to uncover what remains in the house so that Susan can move on to her afterlife." All four of them walked up to the front door, but because Frances and Crystal were humans, they had to wait for either Edwin or Charles to open the door. "They need to hurry because this storm is getting bad" Frances looked up in the air, a big bright blue lighting bolt ran across the dark sky "we should've listened to Jenny"

Charles opened the door wide enough for the two to walk in, while Frances tried to walk inside she heard a cat meowing. She looked down at the ground and saw two cute cats "Awee" She smiled at the two, causing the talking cat to meow "You should find a place to stay, I know how much cats hate water" Frances suggested to the two cats to find a shelter to keep away from the thunder "fuck off" The cat with the white chest cursed at her "wow. So nice" Frances rolled her eyes "Yeah, what an ass" The male cat argued "you're so cute!" Frances tried to pet the brown cat but Charles called out for her "gotta go, bye bye" Frances hurried inside the house and shut the door "You were really talking to cats, huh?" Charles asked the girl "I can't help it. I just want to adopt it."

Inside the house had no lights on, obviously. It gave the house more of a mysterious vibe to it, making Frances feel uneasy. The lights flickered on and loud music of an old rock song blared through "uh,what?" Frances asked, confused on who turned the lights and music on. "I remembered this! I had the cassette" Charles paced around the room while remembering his life as a human before he died "I've never heard of this song" Frances looked over at the ghost "You haven't? It was a very popular song back in the 80's" Frances shrugged her shoulders, not knowing what the song is.

"Who's playing it in this abandon house?" Edwin questioned, wondering why and how the music is playing in a house that has been untouched for decades. Loud footsteps came from up the stairs, causing everyone to look up, a very angry old man with glasses walked down  "Is that him?" Charles asked as the dad walked past them "Hes a ghost, why can't he see us?"

Charles walked to the living room, where all the girls sat on the couch while watching TV with popcorn buckets in their hands "I'm assuming this is his wife and kids" Frances walked closer to the sofa "Sorry, hey. I'm Crystal. We're friends with your sister, Susan" Crystal tried to speak with them but the women wouldn't budge, not even blink. "why aren't they moving?" Frances grabbed the remote that laid on the arm rest in hopes to change the channel, but no matter how many times she clicked the button, it wouldn't move either. "That's weird."

The dad came back from the room with a sharp axe in his hand "Brandon?" The woman with dark black hair and black glasses got up from the couch, most likely his ex wife "W-what are you doing?" She asked him with a hint of worry in her tone "I found the letter. You think you can leave me for Hudson?! None of you can leave me!" With that being said, Brandon slashed the axe through the woman's neck, the blood splashed all over the floor and TV "holy shit!" Frances yelled at the scene she just witnessed. Hudson went over to his two daughters and killed them as well, he dropped the axe on the carpet and went back upstairs "he butchered them?" Crystal asked, everyone clearly shakened up "We can't let him get away with that!" Crystal walked to the front door, wanting to leave after seeing the horrible crime take place, while she did that a loud gunshot was heard where Hudson went "There's his suicide"

The lights were off again and the people in the living room bodies were no longer on the carpet "where did they go?" Frances asked everyone, it looked like the crime never happened. "Edwin, got any ideas?" Charles looked in Edwin's direction, he looked confused about the situation "I'm not entirely sure" 

The music and lights started back up again "what the hell?" Frances looked at the girl with blonde hair carrying her stuffed toy in her arms to the area where the TV was "didn't she just get slaughtered?" Frances followed the blonde hair girl "Mom! I'm starting the movie! Can you tell dad to turn down his music?" The other two females followed the blonde and sat down on the couch "What the hell?" 

The woman with glasses put on the small blanket over her lap "Brandon, are you coming down?!" She shouted for her horrible ex husband, no response "At least turn the music down!" Hudson didn't turn the music down, instead he turned it up "Guys I think this is a loop" Frances took her step back from the scene "Why do you think that?" Charles asked her "because it's happening again, which means we're going to see them get slaughtered" 

The man came back with the axe in his hand, the same thing took place, the woman got off of the couch to speak to her ex husband, he yelled at her and slashed her neck. "Oh my God" Frances quickly hid her face in Charles coat, blocking her eyes from the view. Charles placed his hand on her back, comforting her. 

The gun shot stopped and the lights turned off again, Frances took her face off of his black coat and looked around "They're gone again" She pointed to the TV area "I think Frances may be right, it is a loop." Edwin looked over at the brunette "they've been stuck in it since 1994" "He's been killing his family over and over again since 1994?!" Crystal got angry, as she should. It must've been horrible for the three women to go through that loop over and over for the past years,Frances felt bad for them for suffering throughout all the years.
