~~~Alexis' POV~~~
I was sleeping in the car. We finally hauled into the driveway of our new home. Zack, my boyfriend, and I decided that our relationship was serious enough to move into a house together.

"Wake up, babe"

he said, brushing my hair out of my face. I smiled, as I slowly got up. I opened the door, and took my bags from the trunk. We bought this vintage Victorian style house for a really good price because it was supposedly 'haunted' but pffffft thats impossible. I stumbled to the door and pushed the door opened.

"Hurry up," I said, as I threw my bag, and went up stairs. I opened the closest door, and plopped on the bed. I observed the room, which was filled with antique furnisher. There was a raggedy chair in the corner near a closet door, the wallpaper was a deep shade of red, and the bed I was on was a light shade of purple. The most strangest thing though, was the painting in the right corner of the room.

It was a handsome boy, in his early 20's. He had curly brown hair, and bright green eye's. Don't get me wrong,he was gorgeous. I touched the frame of the painting, it was smooth but bumpy. There were words embedded on the outer ring, to small to read. I could make out a few letters, H, E and S. I contemplated what it could mean, but I had no idea.

"Hey, what's that?" Zack said coming in, "Oh, nothing" I replied taking a step back. He examined the painting and smirked. "Your not going to cheat on me with him, right?" he said cockily. I smiled, and gave him a kiss, "of course not, babe" I reasurred him.

As we unpacked our boxes, I headed up to attic to put the storage items there. Whilst I was up there, I noticed a bed with the sheets spread across. Which got me a little paranoid that someone was living up there.I dumped the boxes on the floor near a lamp, and started heading out. "Get out!" I heard, "Leave this place!" I ran as fast as I could and leaped out of the attic, panting. "Are you ok?" Zack said, rushing towards me, "Whispers," I said, "There were whispers, saying um... Get out! and l-Leave" I said pacing. He laughed, "Babe, that's impossible. It's just us in here." he said, kissing my cheek.

He helped me up, and closed the door. "I swear I heard something," I said. He smirked, "Maybe you can tell me later, but right now." He said stepping closer to me, "Lets just enjoy being alone. I faked a smile, as he lead me up stairs. 

Oh well, he was never the supernatural type.
