¡Swearing!


Y/n pov:

As we all followed the lady I couldn't help but feel a sense of regret of not objecting. But here I am. Following a stranger.. what did happen to stranger danger?


No pov:

Soon everyone could see the top of the house then the lady infront slowed down and came to a stop once everyone came into the house. Taylor looked around amazed already and Logan was taking pictures of the place. Y/n couldn't help but scratch her knuckles hoping the feeling of discomfort would stop soon..

"Welcome to the sorrel weed house!" The lady said proudly and stood at the foot of the stairs. "This is the foyer, most everything in this house is original with the exception of the furniture and paint on the wall." She informs as she guided us to a room

Once everyone entered the new area of the house the lady continued. "This is Francis sorrel library. The man you see in this portrait is Robert.lee, lee was a dear friend of Francis who visited the sorrel weed house often." The lady explains as we all looked up at the portrait. "In the winter of 61-62, just before the Great War, general lee used this room as his office. As far as spooky activities goes, this room is the most calm. Not to say that there isn't any ghostly activities in here, I'd say it's milder-" she continued but then got cut off by her phone ringing.

"So sorry, this is my emergency phone. I have to get this, I'll be right back just continue exploring if you want but don't touch anything!" The lady says as she left with her emergency phone in hand.



"Well that's super professional.." Tyler says sarcastically though Logan didn't hear the sarcasm. "I don't think it's professional.." Logan spoke standing beside Tyler.

"I was being sarcastic" Tyler said back.

"Oh.." Logan realised.

"Eh an emergency is an emergency.." Taylor shrugged then got a sparkle in her eye and clenched her fist in excitement "plus it'll be more fun exploring on our own!" She says excitedly as Logan and y/n put their hands up slightly in a 'woo' manner.




The group explores the house for a little Taylor and Aiden seemed very excited while exploring but y/n's feeling never left and her knuckles were getting more red because of the amount of times she has itched them anxiously.

Suddenly Ashlyn stopped and took one of her earplugs out. "Why is she wearing earplugs?" Tyler asked.

"Ah! I thought they were wireless earbuds!" Aiden exclaims loudly as Ashlyn flinches.

"They're earplugs. I wear them because of my sensitivity to sounds." She said and Aiden put his over his mouth "oops my bad.." he apologised.

Y/n suddenly felt a shiver ran down her spine and she stopped itching her knuckles to look around. Y/n's eyes landed behind Ashlyn, her fists clenched. Y/n saw a dark figure hunched over Ashlyn with a creepy white smile and eyes that could most likely pierce something like an apple. Luckily everyone else saw it and froze.

"Ashlyn. Behind you.." y/n said sternly. Sterner then she wanted.



A quick yelp came out of Ashlyns mouth as she avoided the creature and fell to the floor, the figure disappeared. Ashlyn was on the floor hand on her head as a sense of dizziness hit her.

Y/n unconsciously went over to her and kneeled down next to the girl.

"What was that?" Taylor asks clearly scared as she looks down at Ashlyn. "I-I don't see it anymore.." Logan said as he looked at his camera. "Maybe one of the ghosts?" Aiden shrugged and put his hands in his pockets not bothered.

Y/n shot Aiden a look but then focused on Ashlyn. "You okay?" Y/n asked. No response. Y/n's uneasy feeling.. had vanished somehow.

"Are you guys dumb? Ghosts and demons aren't real this just some stupid prank." Tyler exclaims, annoyed at the circumstance of the tour.

"What do you mean." Y/n said and looked over at Tyler.

"Obviously. A group conveniently call out last minute, our guide happens to get a call on her 'emergency phone' then we're all alone in a 'haunted' house, we have a scary encounter immediately after scary encounter that thing disappears before we can confirm it." Tyler complains as he crossed his arms.

"How close minded. And annoying." Y/n thought as she listened.

"Yeah right. This is definitely a set up for some stupid reaction video to make money! They probably have a projector hidden somewhere." He raised his voice so he can be heard more by the 'projecter' "well screw you and your idiotic video! And for the record you don't have permission to use our reactions!" He exclaims, grabbed his twins hand and stormed off. "Cmon Tay we're leaving." Tyler dragged Taylor away with him.

"A-ah wait!" Logan followed along with them.

Y/n just sighed and looked back down at at he ginger on the ground. "Ashlyn? Did the thing hurt you?" Still. No response.

After awhile of anxiously waiting for a response Aiden walked over and put his hand on her head. "Ash y'a good?" He asked her.

She Immediately got out of her train of thought and was suddenly at the staircase.

"She's fast.." y/n thought then stood back up.

"Are you okay? Why are you holding your arm like that?" The h/c girl asked Ashlyn.

"I'm fine. Just spooked I guess.." Ashlyn says before any other questions are asked. "It's nearing 5:30. We should go back" she suggests. Everyone agreed and they all left the house.




"That newspaper..is it true? Why is he not dead. That bitch. He should be dead. They both should be." All y/n's mind could think of was the newspaper she stumbled across. It enraged her.




The motels

Y/n was sharing a room with Taylor and Ashlyn, she didn't like sharing a bed so she was just going to sleep on the floor near the door. All y/n saw on her instagram, twitter, ticktock was the same in the newspaper, she felt like throwing her phone across the the room and crying. But she couldn't.

Taylor suddenly popped her head in the room and looked around when her eyes landed on y/n. "Y/n! Me and the other two girls are playing cards, wanna join?" She offered. Y/n put her phone down and nodded

"Sure I'll join." Y/n said standing up.


The card game they were playing was a game named chase the ace which is basically The dealer places one card (face down) in front of each player. Players look at their cards without revealing them to other players. Aces are low and Kings are high. In each round, the player with the lowest card loses. (Copy n paste)
