The old home that the murder suicide took place had been abandoned for years. No one dare enter after the young man went insane and killed his whole family in their sleep, slitting their throats.

It was a hot summer night with no draft, Anna and her boyfriend, Chase, we're always into doing troublesome deeds. From trespassing on a murder site to stealing from the town crazy.

So Anna and Chase decided to enter the house that had not been entered since it all began. As Chase was the first to enter the bone chilling house, Anna right after him, closing the back door that lead into the kitchen behind her. An erie creek was created by the door, the "brave" couple subconsciously move closer towards each other. They were trying to believe nothing was wrong with the house and prove it to the folks of the small town of Illinois that it was just an old abandoned house.

Anna suggested to go check out the bedrooms where it all started... Room after room nothing happened. Then, they got to the second floor master bedroom. They thought it was going to be like all the other rooms, boring. But as they walked in they could sense something was off.

As they close the door behind them they got a freezing gust of wind to the face. The wind was so cold they could see their own breath. Suddenly, the door slammed open and crashed into the wall with a loud bang, as a booming male voice spoke with anger,"GET OUT!" Anna was visibly shaking in fear, and quickly as fast as she could, attempted to pull her frozen in shock boyfriend out of the evil house.

As they made it to the kitchen, just a couple feet from the door, they heard piercing screams of pain sounding like a woman in distress coming from the master bedroom. Anna had felt drawn to the screams as if she wanted to help the woman, but if she was in her right state of mind she would never do in this situation.

Anna look like a zombie as she slowly walk through the house in a trance, all the way back to the master bedroom. Anna took her time opening the door as if she was afraid of what was on the other side, yet no emotions were found on her face. Her own boyfriend of four years couldn't even recognize her as he slowly came out of his shocked state. She was not the Anna he knew... She was not herself, it was as if she was possessed.

"Anna... Anna! What are you doing?! We have to get out of here!" Chase called out to Anna worriedly being his dense self. Anna turn towards her boyfriend with the sadistic, smile on her face,

"What do you mean we're leaving? I'm just getting home." As Anna spoke, her eyes were flickering like a candle in the wind, black to, their original crystal blue, back to black again, on repeat. She looked frustrated with herself, some emotion peeking through.

Confused Chase called out to Anna,"What do you mean home!?" He was desperate to find out what was going on with his girlfriend. 'Why is Anna acting like this?' He thought to himself. She then looked at him and said sweetly, too sweet,

"What's wrong, Honey?" As she asked that she pushed him on the chest with enough force to caused him to fall back on the master bedrooms bed, still stained with blood. Chase notice the change of scenery and was confused to how he ended up in the master bedroom.

Chase was disgusted to touch the same bed where the Mother's throat got slit open and where she slowly bled to death. Chase try to sit up only to get pushed down with more force. Anna was not allowing him to get up. Chase was beginning to struggle free, 'Since when was Anna this strong?' He thought, Anna straddled his waist and put enough pressure on his chest just to make sure he couldn't move.

Chase breathing was heavy as he panted, he could barely get enough air to survive. Chases mind begin racing with more and more questions, 'This is not Anna, she wouldn't do this to me,' tears brimmed in his eyes but he blinked them away, 'I have to stay strong... for Anna wherever she is...' his head hurt as it began to try and comprehend what was happening. Little did he know he didn't have much more time.

He struggles for breath as Anna lower herself to whisper, "I'll see you on the other side, love." Yet again he looked confused and started to wiggle around, to try and get free. Anna then reach for her boot and pulled out their knife. Chase had gotten it for her so she could protect yourself if anything went wrong on their little adventures, but she doesn't seem to need it with all this newfound strength she has.

As Chase saw the glint of the knife reconcile crossed his face, his eyes widening in shock and he started to fight. Yet, through all this he couldn't bring himself to hit Anna, he still believed she still in there, deep down, and will break out of it. She was the love of his life after all.

With a gentle smile on her face, Anna, lowered the knife to his throat, her smile widening and said, "Don't worry, love... I love you." He had tears in his eyes as she cupped his cheek, after he realize there was no escape. A single tear rolled down his cheek and Anna wiped it away.

Chase whisper desperately with a hoarse voice, "Please... Please don't do this, I love you, too, but I'm not ready to die. I want to have a life with you, grow old with you, have children with you, I want to marry you and wake up every morning with you by my side, I want to spend the rest my life with you!"

Anna smiled brightly with a twinge of silence behind it, "...that is what I've been trying to accomplish. This is the only way to spend together forever... Don't worry I'll help you through it." As Chase started to get hysterical and try to escape with no strength left.

Anna took the knife to his throat again, a gentle smile on her face and whispered a gentle 'forever' before ever so gently and lovingly slit his throat. As Chase was choking on his own blood, Anna dipped her head down and kiss his lips passionately as his blood, clouding his lips, staining hers. She pulled back smiling as she brought the knife to her own throat a traitorous tear slid down her face, she press the knife against her own throat mumbling words that no one knows and slit her own throat. And bleed out right on top of her lover, still smiling.

After eight years no one has entered the house. No one knows Anna and Chases dead bodies are in there. There was rumors that they ran away and eloped without informing their families. Yet the house is set for destruction one year from today with their dead bodies still inside.
