There.In.That.House <a creepypasta survival story>

:-48-:

Beep beep beep beep...

I awakened to the sound of a machine beeping beside me. The ceiling above me was a clean white, and there were tubes about me.

Where am I?

I stayed flat for a while, with my eyes closed for a second, then I looked around the room.

It was a plain room, with not much furniture besides this bed I'm on, the machines, tubes, a chair, and a little table. I wanted to get up, but I decided it was best I don't. I could still barely see out the window to the buildings beyond.

It finally occurred to me where I am.

I am in a hospital. I have been saved... but...

A nurse had walked in, and said, surprised

"Oh! Your awake! Are you okay?"

She quickly left again, I'm guessing it's so she could call in a doctor. And later on, a nurse and a doctor did come in, along with a female cop.

"Hello there, I see your awake." The doctor said cheerfully. I nodded in response, trying to be polite. The nurse put down a tray with some food, then left.

"Um, could you give us a name?" The doctor said, kind of uncomfortably. I quickly turned my head to him, and responded.

"Um...A..Aubrey," I said, stuttering a little. The doctor nodded, repeating my name as he wrote it down on a clipboard. While he wrote, the cop began to speak.

"Well, nice to meet you, Aubrey. We had come to get some information on the property you were in. Can you recall what happened?

The blood drained from my face when she mentioned the house. I thought for sure that would have been the end of it.

" I do remember... It was all to much for me..."

I suddenly jolted up and looked desperately at the doctor.

"Penn! Doctor, did Penny make it!? Please tell me you came in time..."

The doctor stared at me. Finally, the cop asked

"Was she... Blonde?"

I nodded vigorously.

She lowered her head.

"I'm afraid we didn't make it on time for her, Aubrey. I'm sorry."

No....

Penn...she...I...

The doctor and the cop waited patiently, I'm guessing for the story.

"Well..." I said, holding back tears of grief for Penn. "The...problems, started there.... There in that house...."

I told the whole story from start to finish, while they listened attentively. I finished at dusk, and the doctor closed his notebook before they both wished me good night and left the room.

Before she left though, the cop lady asked me a final question.

"Aubrey... What's your last name?"

"Why do you need it?"

"For files."

She was keeping her answer rather hidden, but there can't be any harm.

"Alstien...that's my last name.."

She wrote it down, and left, while I settled down for the rest of the time.

...

"Aubrey! Your going to have a visitor, okay?" A nurse said happily to me.

A visitor? Who knows me well enough to visit me... That's alive?

I waited patiently for this..visitor..to come, then a doctor walked in, a surgeon...

Wait? No....

I stared in horror at the man across the room from me. He stared at me too, but in amazement, not fear. He smiled, obviously overjoyed.

"Aubrey?!!" My father asked me, to make sure it really was me.

My response was not as happy as Father's. I replied coldly

"I thought you'd be in prison by now."

"Prison? Aubrey...

"You killed mother, we both know that. Have you come to kill me as well?"

He stared at me for a second, then caught on.

"Oh...Camille... No, she was only..in my way... I never intended to hurt you!"

I also heard him mutter under his breath

"That other boy, however..."

I remembered Cody's notebook.

"You intended to murder Cody, didn't you? You dispised him for not being of your own blood."

"What do you know of that, Aubrey?"

"Cody knew. He..he told me."

Father stared at me again, then turned away.

"I would never try to bring harm to you, Aubrey, halfling,"

I cringed slightly at my childhood nickname I've almost long forgotten.

"Actually, I wanted to take you back home with me, and forget Cody, and running away, and the rest of the past. Please,

Just come home..."

Once again I glared at him coldly.

"Persuade all you want. No."
