"So Ace" His mother said not knowing that Ace was not listening.

What was that? he thought The pentagram fucked with my head. Who the hell is Jinx? is that even a person? those grey eyes...they were sexy, like they were sucking me in.

"Ace!" his father yelled.

"Hm?" Ace asked.

Oliver sighed at his son and shook his head.

"Are you going to try out for swim this year Ace?" His mother asked.

"Hm? i don't know" he said stuffing the spoon with fruit loops on it into his mouth.

There was a knock at the door that Ace got up to answer. She was short, shorter than him, but sexy. Very sexy.

"Hi" she smiled.

"Hey" he smiled back.

He never thought he would see someone who screamed California in this wasted town.

"I'm Jem" she said "I live across town but i work for the mayor. i came to welcome you to the town".

"Well come in" he stood back to let her in. After her was a girl, about his age. The same hint of mischief that burned bright in everyone in C.A.  lingered in her eyes as she looked him up and down.

"May i help you?" He asked leaning against the door frame and smirking.

"Cute" she pushed past him and dismissed him with a flick of her hand "not my type, but cute".

He huffed and closed the door.

"This is my daughter Jemma" Jem said smiling so bright the darkness in the house ceases to exist.

"Hello" his mother said happily, "I'm Elle and this is my husband Oliver, my son Ace. and my daughter Neo."

"Nice to meet you all" Jem said, "i must tell you something about the house, i believe you have felt the...."

"Creepiness, darkness, the devil" Ace cut her off and finished the sentence.

"What's the devil?" Neo asked.

"Umm the children shouldn't hear this" Jem looked down at her feet.

"Ace take Neo upstairs" Oliver commanded his son.

"Why?" Ace crossed his arms "i'm no child"

"Ace" Elle growled.

"No i agree, Ace should hear it too, Jemma please take Neo to the park" Jem told her daughter

"The one Dean used to go to?" Jemma asked and Ace's head shot up.

"Dean?" He asked stupidly.

"My cousin" Jemma said looking at him "he used to go there before..."

"Jemma" Her mother cut her off, "take Neo to the northern Park".

"Ok...Jeez" Jemma took Neo's hand and grabbed the small purple jacket by the door and left.

"Dean..." Ace trailed off.

"He's my nephew" she said looking down, "he lived here as a child, about 10 years ago".

"Was he the last one to live here?What about his parents? where are they" Ace said being a bit to nosy for his mothers taste.

"Ace sit down and shut up" Elle growled.

Ace obeyed and was quite as Jem took a seat.

"My brother, Dean's father bought this house for his wife" Jem said "They had two children, Dean and his little sister Maple"

"Maple? that's a weird name" Ace said.

"Ace!" his mother scolded "Hush".

Ace rolled his eyes.

"When Dean was 7 and his sister 6 there father left, he said he would come back but he was killed the day of his arrival home" Jem said.

Ace tensed and averted his eyes from Jem. His mother gulped loudly and his father just sat as if it wasn't a shock.

"He had his heart ripped out right?" Oliver asked.

"Yes..."

"Dad how'd you know?" Ace asked.

"there was newspaper article about it. the body disappeared but the little girl saw everything" he said sounding stressed and showing it by running his fingers through the chestnut brown hair he shared with his son.

"Maple..." Jem gulped "she was so young..."

"She met the same fate as her father!" Ace rocketed up sending the chair flying, "mom! people were murdered in this house! we can't stay here!".

"Hush Ace, if you are going to yell you can't sit here" she scolded.

He huffed and sat down once he dragged the chair back to the table.

"Dean found her body, her heart was ripped out and she was shackled to the ceiling, The mother, full of grief killed herself, it seemed that way at least" Jem continued.

"What do you mean seem that way?" Oliver asked.

"It was confirmed that the mother was murdered as well..."

"So what about Dean?" Ace asked kicking himself for being so interested.

"He lives with me and Jemma, he was the only one to make it out alive, he was going to come to day but he was really skittish about it" Jem said "i could only imagine why".

"His whole family was killed here and he was the only one to live, i can see why this house wouldn't be paradise for him" Ace sighed and rubbed his bright blue eyes.

Jem continued talking but Ace tuned her out thinking about Dean.

So he must have been the one to write that on the picture he thought I have to admit, he's really cute. what am i doing? calling a guy cute? well the picture was taken when he was a kid...all kids are cute.

That night Neo went to sleep with her parents and Ace was up late. Whispers reached his ears and he shook his head.

"Stupid house" he cursed.

The talking kept getting louder until He pinpointed where it was coming from. The far corner of his room. The wallpaper was pealing and he felt it call to him. He got up and walked slowly over to it the floorboards creaking underneath his weight. He fingered the paper for a second before tearing the panel of cheap floral wall paper.

His eyes widened he stared at the foot in diameter Pentagram and in the middle there was a bloody hand print in the middle as if that pentagram was there dying action. This house was seriously fucked up.

To the eft there was another photograph. This one was just of the little girl. she wore a necklace that was sliver and shaped like a crown with Celtic swirls and a pentagram on the top of it.

"Find my brother" a haunting little girls voice "Find Dean"
