"Just a little farther guys" Louis yelled to the group. My nervousness soon began to fad slightly as we turned onto the path, surly no one would see us now that were headed off of the semi main road and into the woods on a dirt footpath. the sun had since completely set, our only light coming from the almost full moon that had begone to rise into the sky. "you think any monsters are going to get us" Jerry joked "because that would be a bad thing, if monsters where to suddenly jump out and get us". I gave him a death stare and he just laughed and said "relax man I'm just teasing you, you really shouldn't worry so much". I gave him a stare for a moment before looking away, I couldn't be mad at him because he was right I did need to calm down. "Would you shut up Jerry" Louis said in an annoyed tone. "Yeah common chill" Ryan chimed in "its not like were doing something normal, this is pretty out of the ordinary even for us". Gorge seemed to look up slightly at this curiously. This suddenly caused me to realize the hood of his sweatshirt had been casting a shadow over most of his face only allowing me to see the slight outline of his jaw and his pale skin. My mind began to wander and I considered if not being able to see his face had been what kicked my paranoia into overdrive. He was covering all of his skin, despite it being mid summer. Even being a slightly chilly night he was still fairly overdressed and I wondered if he was worried too, seeing as he dressed as though ready to hide at any moment. I guess it fits considering how shy he is. we eventually come to our destination, a small house in the middle of the woods. it was a fairly nice house too, two stories on the larger side and looked to be in good condition despite the years of being abandoned. The only thing that stood out besides a few broken windows was the bright yellow crime scene tape covering the doors. "alright were here, now whose the first to go in" Louis asked eagerly. "your so exited you go first" I replied quickly. Louis walked to one of the broken windows and put he hands on the lip "if you say so". He slowly pulled himself up into the window and rolled over the edge. all of a sudden we heard frantic yelling and all of us stood statue still. thirty seconds later Louis stood in front of the window laughing madly "I cant believe you guys fell for that, and none of you came to help me too. get in here already you babies".
