Restart/ AHS Murder House

Croatoan

I watched from the window as Constance and my dad helped my mom inside. She was crying out in pain. I walked downstairs and watched as Constance helped my mom lay down on a table. Constance yelled,

"Hurry get a sheet and some pillows! She's going to have the twins right now!"

My dad scurried around in a panic. Then I saw the two nurses with bloodstains on their outfits. They came over to the table my mom laid at. A doctor accompanied them. The doctor was telling the nurses what to do and they helped him. The nurses were dead and so was the doctor. I saw them both before in our house. I turned around to see a girl with grungy matted hair and a sinister smile staring at my mother. I felt as if I've seen her before. Then it clicked, it was Hayden, the bitch my dad cheated on my mom with.

"Hey! What are you doing here, get out!" I said defensively.

Hayden looked at me and chuckled,

"Silly child, those are my babies. You can't stop me."

"What? Stop you from what?"

"As soon as their tiny heads pop out I'm taking them, they are mine."

Then Hayden disappeared. She was dead too, just like the nurses and doctor. How did she die here? I needed to talk to Billy-Dean. I hurried over to Constance who was loitering in the hallway watching the operation.

"I need your help Constance, the ghosts are going to take my mom's babies!"

"Hazel! You ran out on Billy last time, I imagine you need her now, right?"

"Please, just help me and my mom."

Constance pulled out a phone and called Billy.

15 minutes later...

"Hazel, nice to see you again. You needed me?" Billy asked.

"The dead ones, ghosts, are going to steal my mother's babies. I can't let them. I have to get rid of the ghosts that are trying to take her babies."

"Ahh, I know just the thing! You need to get one of their possessions and burn it, while it's burning you have to chant CROATOAN over and over again until the ghost is gone completely."

"Why croatoan?"

"Hurry child! No time for questions!"

I got up and went to find Hayden. While I searched the halls I saw drips of something red leading into a room. I walked to the door and stopped. Then I held my breath as I peeked around the corner, hoping it wasn't blood. And it wasn't. A man had a can of red paint and was stamping critters onto the wall with a yam.

"Excuse me?" I said.

The man turned, it was the same guy I had saw on Halloween. He was one of the gay guys who helped decorate our house.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Why just decorating the nursery for my two new babies."

"Um, this is our house. My mom is supposed to do the baby's room."

"No, it's not. I spent all of my money on this house and I put my life into it. You just happened to move in. Oh and your mama doesn't know shit about decorating."

"You're one of them aren't you."

"My name is Chad. Oh wait I know what you meant. Dead? Well of course. And you're Hazel, Vivian's daughter."

Tate came in the room,

"Hazel! There you are." He said.

"Oh look it's the little psycho." Chad, the gay decorator, remarked.

"What are you doing?" Everett asked Chad while ignoring his remark.

"Didn't you hear? Vivian is having twins! My twins."

"Those aren't your babies, if you touch them I swear.."

"What are you going to do, kill me?" Chad smirked.

I grabbed Everett by the sleeve and pulled him into the hallway.

"This is going too far, all the ghosts are trying to take away my mother's babies. We need to get a tailsmen so we can banish them from the house permanently."

"Who told you that?"

"Billy-Dean, she can talk to spirits and ghosts. She's helping me."

"Sounds like bullshit, how are you going to banish them?"

"It's not bullshit. If it can help my mother I'm going to try it."

"Alright, what do I do?"

"Get Chads husband's ring and I'll get Chad's watch."

"Got it."

I snuck back into the room while Chad's back was turned and grabbed his watch that was sitting on a dresser. Then I waited for Everett to come back with the ring.

A while later

"I got it!"

Everett held the ring in between his pointer finger and his thumb.

"Perfect, thank you." I said as I kissed him on the cheek.

I left Everett and went downstairs to the furnace to burn the talismans. As I was about to throw the watch in the fire I heard a voice from behind me,

"Is that my Rolex?!"

It was Chad.

"CROATOAN! CROATOAN! CROATOAN!" I yelled with force while throwing the watch and ring in the burning flames.

Chad's eyes rolled back into his sockets and he started to shake violently while drool cane out of his mouth. I watched in horror and curiosity. Then he started to laugh and his eyes returned to normal,

"The Roanoke ritual, really? Who told you about that bull shit?"

"CROATOAN!" I yelled in worry. Why wasn't it working?

"Give it up already, the ritual doesn't work. It's some stupid chant a human made up to feel like they have control over the spiritual world. But they don't and they never will."

"But Billy-Dean said it would work!"

"Whoever this Billy-Dean is, she scammed you. Now can you move, hun."

"What are you doing down here?"

"Burning the cradles."

"Why?"

"Turns out Patrick doesn't want children, or me for that matter. But it could be worse, your man loves you, but he is a monster and will remain a monster. He killed Patrick and I. Oh and did you know one of those babies is Everett's? He raped your mother."

"Everett? How could he, no he wouldn't..."

"But he did, hun. Why don't you talk to him about it?" Chad chuckled.

I went back upstairs to see my mom. I wanted to ignore what Chad had told me, after all it can't be true. Or could it? Forget it. As I entered the room I saw my mom lying on the table with blood leaking through the sheets from her stomach and below.The doctor was trying to stop the blood from leaking everywhere and my dad was crying.

"Vivian please, I need you. Please make it for me and Hazel."

I approached the table,

"I'm sorry mom, it wasn't supposed to be like this. You're suffering, if you let go you can be with me. We can be together. Let go mom."

She wanted to hold on for dad but I knew that she was here for me. I held her hand and I felt her get colder and leave her body. Yet her red hair and her crystal blue eyes still shone making her look frozen alive, trapped for eternity. Goodbye mom.
