Trap house

3:33 a.m.

Sam's pov
I was in the middle of a ritual when I heard squealing. Like really high-pitched squealing. I ran and woke up Colby. "Colby!"
"Hmm, Sam. What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"I'm okay," I lied. I was scared, honestly. "I just don't know what that is."
"Let's go get Elton and everyone else and see what it is."
"Should we get the girls too?"
"After we get everyone else."
"Okay." I stuck next to Colby, especially after the ritual. We walk to Elton's room and Colby knocks on the door.
"Elton. Wake up." Elton sits up and grumbles. "C'mon Elton. We gotta go get Corey. There's weird squealing."
"What? Alright hold on." Elton got up and grabbed his bat as we headed to Corey's room. Elton walks in to wake up Corey and Devyn.
"Wwhhaaaatttt," Corey groaned.
"There's something squealing in the house we need to go check it out," Elton said.
"Oh shit," Corey said getting up with Devyn. Jake walks into the room.
"What are you guys doing up?" Jake asked.
"There's a strange squealing in the house," I said. "I was doing a ritual and then I heard it."
"Sam what did you bring into our house now?" Corey asked.
"I don't know," I said. My eyes were watering.
"Okay let's calm down and go see what this noise is," Elton said.
"Let's head downstairs and look around," Colby said. We head downstairs and we see Aaron cooking in the kitchen and hear the squealing coming from the second living room. Colby taps on Aaron. "Did you hear that?" Colby asked. Aaron takes his headphones out.
"Hear what? I was listening to music."
"Sam said there was an odd squeal during his ritual," Corey said. After Corey said that, we heard the squealing again. I jumped and grabbed onto Colby.
"Sam, if you're pranking us I swear to god," Elton said.
"I'm not pranking you. I swear," I said about to cry. We walked into the second living room and what we saw was just insane. We saw Alex with pitch black eyes sitting in the big cubby covered in blood laughing like a psychopath. Logan was laying on the floor covered in blood not moving with a knife sticking out of her chest. I started to cry as we saw Elton walk towards Alex.
"Alex...what happened?" Elton asked.
"Hehe Alex is not here right now. HAHAHAHA," Alex said. Elton checked Logan for a pulse and couldn't find one. Colby and I were trying to talk to Alex, but she wouldn't make any sense.
"What happened?" I tried asking. Alex was quite for a few moments before it looked like she broke out of her trance.
"Wha- why am I downstairs?"
"Logan's gone, guys," Elton said break our concentration on Alex.
"Bro, what do you mean?" Corey asked.
"She has no pulse," Colby said trying to find it.
"No no no no. I let happen again. Logan...." Alex started to cry.
"Again?" Aaron asked. We surrounded Alex and Logan. We were trying to comfort Alex while hoping Logan would revive. We started crying as well, although, we were trying to hide it.
"Logan...you need to wake up. How else are we going to tell them our secret? Haha," Alex said. Suddenly, Logan sat up and just stared at nothing. She was so lost in another world. Her body jolted and then she was back to normal.
"What the fuck?" Corey said.
"Ready, Logan?" Alex asked. She nodded.
"WELCOME TO THE MEGA MEGA PRANK WARS!!" They yelled at the same time. We all sat there in confusion.
"You were dead. You had no pulse," Colby said. They laughed at us.
"I may or may not be able to mask my pulse and slow it to almost nothing," Logan stated. Taking the knife "out of her chest."
"Haha. I feel a little bad, but this was fun. Thanks for the help Aaron," Alex said.
"You were in on this?" Corey half yelled.
"Well, I'm always up. They had to make sure they could go through with it," Aaron said walking into the kitchen.
"Okay well I don't know about you guys but dying made me tired," Logan says laughing. "Sorry if we scared you."
"Hope we didn't scare you too bad," Alex said taking out the black contacts. I sat there stunned.
"You guys are good," Corey said. His eyes were still watery, but he had a smile on his face. Aaron had already gone to bed when the rest of us decided to as well. After we all went to our rooms, I couldn't sleep. After what had happened during the ritual, and then the prank, I was terrified to even turn the lights off. I laid there for hours before I finally fell asleep.

Colby's pov
I woke up later today and it was lunch time. I headed downstairs after I got dressed. Alex was standing in the kitchen cooking some breakfast. "Hey, Alex."
"Hey. We didn't scare you guys too bad last night did we?"
"Uh...no. I mean, at first I was gonna shit bricks because Logan didn't have a pulse, but when she sat up I was fine."
"Yeah.....is Sam okay? I could tell he was crying and I haven't seen him this morning."
"I have no idea. I'll go check on him," I said. I ran up the stairs and went to his room. I knocked on the door and waited for an answer.
"Come in."
"Dude, you okay?" I asked. I sat next to him on his bed.
"I guess.....last night just has me shook up real bad."
"What happened during the ritual you did last night? I know Alex and Logan wasn't the only thing that scared you last night," I said.
"I don't want to talk about it..." Sam said. He looked so sad. I hugged him and said, "If you want to talk, just come get me. I'm always here." He smiled and then looked back down at his hands.
"C'mon Alex is worried about you. Might want to let her know you're okay." He nodded and sniffled. We walked downstairs to Alex.
"Hey," Sam said weakly.
"Ahh I feel really bad about last night. Sam I'm sorry if we scared you more than what you already were. Before you ask, it was easy to tell that something already freaked you out," Alex said then hugged Sam which he returned. When they pulled away, he smiled at her.
"I'm okay."
"I can tell you're not, but I'm not going to force you to talk about it. Now, Sam, what is your favorite thing to have for breakfast? I feel really bad about last night, so I think it's only fair you get whatever you want."
