I Will Carry You

Part 8

Eloise's Pov

"How much further is it?" I ask Andy as he makes the billionth turn. 

"Just a little bit further. Cool your jets," 

"Cool your jets? Haha I haven't heard that one in a long time," I told Andy while I was laughing. 

"Just hush over there," He said with a grin on his face. 

5 more minutes had past and the car finally came to a halt. I looked around, there was nothing but woods surrounding us. 

"Why are we in the middle of no where?" I asked Andy

"You trust me right," He asked

"Uh sure?" I answered uncertain. I only knew him for like what? 2 ish days?

"Well follow me," He said as he got out of the car. I pushed open my door and got out and started following him down the path that led through the woods. We walked silently next to each other. I was enjoying the nice view until a really creepy looking house appeared. "Here we are," He said. I looked at him with big eyes.

"You think I'm going in there? Have you seen cabin in the woods? first, that movie was messed up as is but everyone pretty much dies," I told him. He just chuckles. 

"Yes I did see that movie. The ending was very stupid though." He said as he ran his hand through his hair. "You will be fine though. I've been here plenty of times. I'll protect you from anything that comes running at you," He laughed. I smacked his arm.

"That is not funny," I yelled at him playfully. That just made him laugh harder. 

"Come on scare-die pants."  He grabbed my hand and started pulling me forward to the creepy ass house. This is not gonna end well. 

Andy pushed open the broken wooden door. It let out a big screech. I covered my nose instantly. "What is that god awful smell?" I asked Andy. He took in a big whiff. 

"Smells like kids were smoking weed or something." I looked at him once again with wide eyes. 

"What if they are still here?" I whispered. 

"I highly doubt it. Come on it will be fun. I said we were going on an adventure and what better to explore than an abandoned house?" I didn't have anything to shoot back at him so I followed him all the way into the house. Each step we took the floor creaked. 

"It's so dark in here," I complained. 

"You never stop complaining do you?" 

"Pretty much." Was the last thing I said until I heard footsteps. Instantly I grabbed onto Andy's arm. "Oh no," I whimpered. 

"Its ok hold on." He said as he knocked a pattern on the wall. He waited as if he was listening for a response but there was none. "Follow me I know there is a closet over here we can hide in," He whispered. He quietly opened the door and we filed in. 

"Why did you knock? They probably know where we are." I asked him. 

"I texted my buddies that we should meet up here. We made up that knocking pattern just in case there were other people in here." 

"Great. So that means there are random people in here with us?" I asked. 

"Yep. Now be quiet," The footsteps were getting closer to where we were. I started to shake uncontrollably. Andy pulled me into his chest. I buried my face in his chest so no one would hear my breathing. The footsteps came to a halt right in front of the door. Tears started slipping out of my eyes. This is so freaking scary.
