I didn't dare glance behind to see if the were following. I run into the house thinking about what amount of time I had left before they find out where I am hiding. I run up the creaking steps to the attic and find a small gift box to hide the locket in. Gluing it tight with carpenters glue I quickly hide it under a loose floorboard. Behind me the floor boards squeak and a deep chuckle fills the attic. As a black mist envelopes me all I can think is 'protect it'.

I gasp when he bares his teeth at me. "Don't worry, I'll put you out of your misery." I close my eyes, ready for the pain I was about to receive but...It never came.

The House At The End Of Yellow Brooke Street
An eerie silence echoed through the house at the end of Yellow Brooke Street, the wind outside slammed toward the wooden walls making a whistle inside the house from the cracked windows; the front door made a thud each time it slammed toward the wall and the screams from the dead gave the house an uneasiness to it. I stood before the house, while my friends were excited to do the exact opposite of what our parents told us to; I was not. I trusted my mother when she told us to never get close to this place. "You guys ready?" Diana said with joy in her voice, I stuttered. "No.." the fear in my voice was obvious, though no one seemed to care. Dan glanced at me and chuckled. "Really? It's just a house." "It's a haunted house." I said nervously. "Maybe we should trust our parents on this, they told us that it isn't safe for a reason." "You wimp." Diana joked, she wasn't serious; it was just to get me with them and of course she knew that it would work. "It's fine if you don't want to Luna." Lucas said, at least he was cool about it. "I-I'm not a wimp!" I stumbled on my words. "Yey!" Diana said happily and rushed toward me with her arms open. "I'll buy you McDonalds after this." I hugged her, even though I wasn't happy. I looked at the time. 12.20amComplete

( Gyutaro x OC Modern AU) - BraveBlood
Looking in the last box that she hadn't taped up just yet, lies a tattered leather jacket. In her hand was an old black key. Looking around the walls that were once filled with pictures and decorations, now a black husk of what used to be. Silently, she dropped the key in the box before taping it shut. Walking out of the house to an uber, she locked the door for good before putting the keys in a hiding place. For the last time, in a long time, she was running away from a place she once loved. And as the uber, drove off, the wind blew on a red and white sign that said "SOLD".Complete
