Murder House - A Michael Clifford Fanfiction

Chapter 1 - Basement

"Pandora, look!" Paul ran up the steps of the new house and stood at the balcony with his arms out. I laughed.

"Wait a minute.." I told him, running up the stairs. I put my arms around his waist like we were on the titanic. We both almost fell over laughing.

"Let's go, kids. Find your new rooms," mom told us, pointing.

I walked into my new room and smiled. I was excited to be living in Los Angeles. Paul was really excited because this is where his best friend lives.

"PAUL JORDAN ZIMMER!!" Speaking of Danny, he yelled for Paul seconds after arriving.

"DANIEL JOSEPH EDGE!" Paul yelled, running past my room and down the stairs. I walked out of my room and went down the stairs.

"Stop calling me Daniel!" Danny complained, but looked my way.

"Pandy..." He smiled and hugged me.

"I've missed you, Danny," I squeezed him.

"Hey, he's my best friend..." Paul pouted.

"But he's my best friend as well. We've known each other since we were little. Well, since he was little-r." I laughed. I was born on July 5, 1996. Danny was born December 28 of the year after, 1997.

"I'm only a year and a half younger than you!" He exclaimed.

"I know.. I'm just picking," I nudged him, "you're like the brother I never had."

"Excuse me?" Paul looked at me.

"The little brother I never had," I specified. Danny smiled.

"But Danny is like the brother I never had," Paul fought.

"Okay, guys, stop fighting. There's enough of me to go around," Danny announced, and we all laughed.

"So are you guys liking the new house? This house is really nice. It's a big house too," He looked around.

"I actually haven't seen all of it yet," I ventured off into a different room, looking around.

"Yeah, let's look around," Paul suggested. We walked into the kitchen where mom was unpacking some boxes.

"Hello, Danny," mom smiled.

"HI MOM!!" Danny exclaimed, hugging her.

"Paul, Pandora.. There's something we didn't tell you about this house. I hope it doesn't creep you out," dad entered.

"What would that be?" I asked.

"The one couple that lived here, they were homosexual," mom began to explain. What could be creepy about that? (A/N: PATRICK AND CHAD YASSS btw Chad is BAE)

"And?" Paul looked at her.

"They died.. here, in the kitchen," she finished explaining.

"Murdered? Suicide? Natural causes?" Paul wondered.

"Murdered," mom looked back at us.

"Cool," I laughed. Danny nudged me. I then apologized, "Sorry.."

"And the last family that lived here died to. They had a teenage girl, and she overdosed. The mum died while giving birth, and the dad, I think, hung himself," mom explained. Wow.

"Okay," I was shocked. There had been so many deaths in this house. But I still liked the house.

"Well.. Let's finish looking around," Danny walked out of the room. He had to explore the house too because he'd be here often.

"I haven't seen the basement yet," Paul told us as we looked down the steps.

"Well let's go," I told him, stepping in front, "are you scared?"

"No," he replied and walked down behind me. I got to the bottom of the stairs and used my phone as my light.

"Guys it's not that bad down here," I laughed at Paul and Danny still standing on the stairs.

"We're coming," Danny told me as he pushed Paul out of his way.

"W-w-what's that?" Paul pointed to some jars on a shelf. In them, they had.. baby arms? And baby legs?

"That's probably just fake. Maybe the last couple really liked Halloween, and this was what they put out as a display?" Danny told him, walking over to it.

"No! Those are real baby arms and baby legs! I'm getting out of here.." Paul began to walk up the stairs. I saw something run past Danny and make a noise.

"Danny.. Did you see that too?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I did. I don't know what it was," he looked back at me, his eyes wide.

"Guys, shut up. It's not working. You're not going to scare me," Paul kept walking up the stairs.

"No, seriously, it-" I stopped. It did it again. It made a noise, and Paul heard.

"What the fuck was that!?" He freaked out.

"I have no idea.." I looked at him. I was scared too.

"But that wasn't a person," Danny seemed scared as well.

"It made an inhuman noise," I nodded my head.

"What kind of noise was that, though?" Danny looked at me. It went past again and made the noise. We all screamed and ran up the stairs. Mom came over to us and asked what we were doing.

"Th-there was something down there and it was really creepy," Paul told her.

"It made inhuman noises and it ran past Danny, like, three times," I explained.

"What the heck?" Mom was confused.

"It was really short too. And I saw the color of skin, but I saw red too," Danny described it.

"What would it be? Why would there be something in the house?" Mom began to walk down the steps, but I heard the noise. She ran back up the stairs, terrified and called for dad.

He came over to where we were and we told him what happened. He began to go downstairs, but it did the same thing it did with mom. He saw it.

"Okay, no going down in the basement alone and without each person taking a flashlight down, got it?" Dad pointed to us. We nodded.

"That's so creepy. I don't think I'm ever going down there, even if I'm with other people," Paul began to walk away from the stairs.

"Scaredy cat," Danny whispered in my ear. I chuckled.

WHO ALL KNOWS WHAT WAS IN THE BASEMENT??? Comment!!! (Sorry but only people that have seen the season on AHS would know what was in the basement). *Hint: you can call it two different names. A nickname, or its real name.* I'll have questions like these after many chapters. btw, I've attached a picture of the murder house.
