Hannah and her friends found a house in the woods that was supposedly haunted. In the stories it was called the House That Wept. A man and is four sons and two daughters lived there and were murdered there. Even so the group is curious and decided s...
"Hannah?!?" I heard a voice say, "Hannah!" I opened my eyes and shot up. The fast movement made me dizzy so I laid back down. Kneeling beside me were Dexter and Olivia.
"Thank goodness your ok." Olivia said. She pulled me into a hug.
"You scared me to death! You could have died!" Dexter shouted. He stood up and started pacing. "What if I didn't get to you in time?! What if you..." I pushed myself to a standing position and slowly walked over to him. I grabbed his arm and pulled him into a tight hug. He stood there for a second before hugging back. "Sorry." He muttered.
"It's ok. I'm fine." I said. Caleb, Peter, and Aidan came over from seemingly nowhere. They just showed up. I looked at everyone. They had all changed into dry clothes.
"You can go get changed behind that tree over there." Olivia said, passing me a folded pile of clothes. I went behind the tree and changed. I walked back over to them and we all stood in silence.
"So.." I said, "we still going for that walk?" Aidan cheered.
"Sure." Peter said. Everyone else nodded. With that we all walked into the forest.
"You sure you're up for it, Ham?" Olivia asked.
"Yah, of course!" I replied. Dexter grabbed my hand and walked with me.
"Knock knock!" Aidan said. I sighed. His jokes were awful.
"Who's there?" Caleb asked.
"Why?!?" I said, "Caleb no!" I face palmed and looked the other way.
"Daisy" Aidan said.
"Daisy who?" Caleb asked. I knew where this was going.
"Daisy me rolling," he shouted, "they hating!" He went over to a small patch of grass and came back with a daisy.
"Oh boy." I said.
"Hey," Olivia said from in front of us, "what's that?" Peter and her both stopped. We jogged up to them and stopped beside them. I gasped at what I saw. It was a mansion. It looked more like castle though. It was enormous. There was a picket fence that surrounded the whole house. The gate at the front was loose and swung open and closed, with a loud creaking sound. There was a garden but all the plants were wilted. The trees were huge and bare. They seemed to be staring at me.
"We should go explore!" Dexter said. I elbowed him. He looked at me. "You'll be fine. It's just a regular abandoned mansion." I looked at everyone else. They were all excited and wanted to go in.
"Fine." I mumbled. Peter went first he pushed the gate all the way open and we all walked in after him. There was a stone path that led to a couple stairs. We went up the stairs and it creaked with every step. We stood on the porch. Everyone stared at the door. It was a large black double door. There was a gold knocking thing.
"Who gets the honours?" I asked sarcastically. Caleb walked up to the door and pushed it open, with the help of Peter. We all stepped in. Everyone's mouth hung open in awe. Strait ahead there were huge stairs. It started as just one but split into two different directions. It was beautiful.

The door slammed closed behind us. I gasped and ran to the door. I frantically yanked at the door. I turned the handle back and forth forcefully.
"No!" I yelled. I hit the door with my shoulder repeatedly. The others joined me and also tried to open it. It didn't budge. I staggered backwards. We were stuck.
"How..." Peter muttered. "This isn't possible."
"Uh..." Olivia said, "we'll just find another exit." Just then I heard the crying again. We looked where it was coming from and gasped. There was a girl standing there. She looked to be in her late 20's. Her blonde hair was up in a bun. There was a red bow in it that matched her long laced dress. Her skin was extremely pale and her ice blue eyes seemed empty. She looked like a doll. Her face was streaked with red tears. She wiped the tears off her face, leaving red marks on her hands.
"Hello!" She said, "are you here to take father away? He's in the back!" She gestured to a door to our left. "Here, let me take you there!" She walked down the stairs and walked through the door. None of us moved.
"Give is a second please." I said to her.
"Of course." She said nodding her head. I turned to the rest of the group.
"What the hell?" Dexter said.
"I was about to say the same thing." Olivia said.
"This is really weird." Caleb said, "it reminds me of Olivia's story." I inhaled sharply.
"She said he was in the back right?" Peter asked. I nodded. "We could get out through the back yard."
"She looks like something from a movie." Aidan said, "she looks like she's living in the past."
"Yah," I said, "this house seems really old." We all looked around again.
"Well let's go." Dexter said. We all nodded and walked to the door. "We are ready to go now." He said to the lady.
"Perfect!" She said. "Follow me." She tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear. Dexter and I were in the front followed by Olivia then Aidan, Caleb and Peter in the back. She started crying again as we walked.
"Ask her why she's crying." Olivia whispered. I nodded.
"So," I started, "May I ask why you are crying?" She stopped and turned to me. I backed up a little, startled, and gasped. Her tears weren't regular tears. They were made of blood. She cried blood. Everyone else seemed to notice and backed up. She wiped her tears away.
"My father." She stated simply. Dexter grabbed my hand.
"Oh," I said, "I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Hannah. You are?"
