Jack pulled his head back into the master bedroom and caught his breath. Previously, he was staring all the way up to the top of the house from outside of a bedroom window, holding onto the top of it as he pulled his body all the way out- leaving just his legs inside the house- and craned his neck up to peek. This house was bigger than he could particularly imagine. He felt nothing but pure bliss as he sucked on his strawberry-flavored lollipop and threw some miscellaneous glass at the wall.
Jack then made his way out of the bedroom and back into the hall, which was littered with memories; broken picture frames that had fallen from the no-longer-white walls, broken toys, tearing wallpaper. All of it was useless.
Meanwhile, Zack and Rian were running through the basement. Figures they would pick the creepiest room in the house and not Jack.
Rian pulled open a dusty door revealing something he couldn't quite make out. It looked like a body, but it couldn't be. There was no way. No way that someone living in a house this winsome could lock a girl's body in a dusty old closet. Besides, nobody was living here anymore. He shut the thing before Zack could get a chance to see, but suddenly he wanted to go home. A twinge of guilt hit Rian's side. He longed for Jasey Rae.
Presently, however, the girl had one of her hands clutching Alex's. He was dragging her through the house slowly; one room at a time, if that. She wasn't really letting him explore anything. She was closed to vomiting now then she was smelling that pumpkin latte. Though the mere thought of the thing brought on a stronger wave of nausea.
As much as he wanted to explore though, Alex understood where the girl was coming from. He himself started to get nervous after he heard some strange noises coming from a closet of some sort over on the third floor.
"A-A-A-lex..." Jasey whispered as he pulled her into yet another room. "I-I th-think this w-was a mistake."
Alex turned around. He gave her a hand a hard squeeze and looked into her eyes. "No, it wasn't. Don't worry about it." He smiled at her. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you Jasey Rae." Her stomach flipped upside down, but she blamed it on the fear.
Jasey Rae averted Alex's gaze as he tried to look into her eyes. She knew deep down that he was only trying to help. Eye contact just wasn't her forte, especially not when she was close to vomiting, or now even a full breakdown. This was just too scary for her right now.
She shook her head. "I-I-I want to go outs-ide." She simply couldn't stay in this house anymore. She could smell something rotting. She and Alex had stumbled upon the room where the murder happened and she saw the blood. What she didn't know before entering, was that there were words written in blood on the wall behind where the body was found. How could it be considered an accident when there were words behind where the body was found? And what the hell was that noise?
