1 The Eerie House within the Forest: Part 1

As a car was driving by a nice looking community, the car stopped at a STOP sign to look for cars passing by. After three seconds with no cars in view, the car made a left turn into Mockingbird Avenue. The three people within the car were scanning for a two storey house that goes by the numbers of 36977. After two mintues passed, they finally found the house they've been looking for! Parking the car near the side street in front of the house, the three people got out of the car.

"Finally! It took ages to find this house", said a girl. The girl roughly look around 18ish years old, had blonde colored hair with a Brunette bun hair style. She is standing around 5' 7" (170.18 cm) with an hourglass figure. Her eyes looked like it was in a constant, dreamy state.

"Now come on Veronica. There's no need to make a fuss about it", said a boy. The boy looked around 19ish years old and had dark blonde hair with a Taper Fade hair style. When standing near the girl, he was a head taller than her. About 6' 3" (190.5 cm) and muscular build. His eyes were a mix of blue and green.

"Oh, David. I'm not making a fuss. I'm just tired of driving all the way to Benjamin's house that's all. Who knew his house was an hour away from my home", said Veronica?

David could only make a dry smile at Veronica's remark. Shaking and turning his head to the other girl next to Veronica. The girl standing next Veronica was only off by two inches and is 17 years old. She has glasses on top of her violet colored eyes, brown hair with a single sided bang and a low pony tail.

"So, Ashely? What about you?"

"D-don't disturb me David! I'm just getting into the good part of this book", said Ashely.

"Forget that I asked. Now come on you two, we got to meet with Benjamin."

"Alright", Veronica continues to walk with David.

"Fine", while Ashely lags a bit behind the two to continue to finish reading her book.

The three people went to the front of the house. While, David ring the doorbell.

Ding dong. Then a little tune started to play [1]. When David heard the tune, he started to tap his foot to the rhythm.

"David we don't have time to listen to this doorbell chime", said Veronica in a commanding tone.

Sigh. "Alright. Eh hem. Hey! Benjamin are you there!? It's us! David, Vee, and Ashe! We're here!"

The three friends can hear a loud thud above the house and some loud stomps heading down the stairs.

"No need to shout. I can hear you a mile away with that kind of voice", said Benjamin groaning at David.

David came up and gave him a bear hug.

"It's nice to see you Ben! How you've been doing all this time!?"

"I-I can't breathe. L-let me go first."

"Oh, sorry about that", said David with a short chuckle. Giving his friend a moment to breathe.

Gasping for air. The person that David hugged was Benjamin. Benjamin looked around 17 but closer to 18 years old, was a bit round and standing at 5' 9" (175.26 cm). He also had black hair and teak wood colored eyes.

"Sheesh, you were trying to kill me with that bear hug of yours?"

"Nah, I was just excited to meet ya again. You know we just finished high school and wanted to hang out with ya"

"Alright, alright come in and follow me to the kitchen to sit down. Want any snacks or drinks?"

"I want water and what about you Vee?

"Same as you David, can't have any sweets or sugary drinks that will ruin my diet"

"Give me some Coffee with a bit of cream inside, Ben"

"Alright, coming right up with your orders!" Benjamin went to the cabinets to get two water bottles and a bag full of coffee beans. Ben handed over the two bottles to David and Vee.

"Thanks" x2

"Now for you Ashe, wait a moment for me to grind and brew the coffee beans"

"Okay", while Ashe continued reading her book.

Ben got the coffee grinder and poured in the coffee beans to start grinding. While holding the machine, with his right hand, he pressed the button and the machine started to make some krrrr and crunch noises as the beans were reduced to powdered form.

After two minutes of grinding, Ben got the powder out of the grinder and set it aside inside a filter paper. Ben grabbed the measuring cup from the coffee maker and poured in some water up to the number 8 mark. He placed the coffee filter paper within the top compartment of the coffee maker and poured in the water as well.

"Alright, now we just wait ten minutes and your coffee will be done"

"Okay, Ben"

"So, what do you guys really want to do, since I know you guys only visited my house twice this year?"

The three friends signaled each other with their eyes and David begins to answer Ben.

"Well, we wanted to do a test of courage for tonight. You want to join? Were heard about this eerie house in route 73..."

Ben interrupted, "Wait a minute? You mean the one in the Witch's Forest?"

"Yeah, that's the one. So, do you want to join?"

Ben showed a hesitant look before saying, "Fine, I never got to do anything fun anyways. Let's do this!"

"That's the spirit buddy!"

"Since, we're doing the test of courage do you have any snacks or drinks to bring along?"

David shrugged his shoulders, "Nope. I got nothing in the back of my trunk. Since, we're just doing the test of courage for a night. So, no need to bring any snacks or drinks for the road."

"Okay, then." Ben smelled the smokey, but lightly caramelized aroma in the air. He went towards the coffee maker and grab a foam cup to pour in the coffee. Later, he added the creamer to the freshly brewed coffee and gave the cup to Ashe.

"Enjoy your coffee."

Ashe took off her glasses. She smiled sweetly and thanked Ben before sipping the coffee, "Thanks Ben for the coffee."

David comes in to stop them from being to comfy and said, "Alright, you girls and Ben it's time to go. It's going to be a long drive from here to there."

"Alright", while Vee hugged David's arm

Ashe sipped her coffee some more before throwing the cup in the trash before placing her glasses back on, "Kay."

"Sure, David."

The three all headed towards the car and Ben locked the door to his house. David pressed the button to start the engine. The car roared and hummed to life. The gang headed off to the distant roads ahead of them.

-------‐-----------------------------------

Three and half hours later of driving.

"Gahhh, when are we going to get there already David? I'mdying from boredom", said Vee in a whining voice.

"We're almost there about twenty minutes to thirty more minutes. Basically, just a few more twists, turns, and some straights down hill."

Instantly, Veronica knew what David was going to do, "Oh, no! David, you're not going to do some drifts are you!?"

"Noooo, of course not. Just kidding", as David laughed.

But in the ears of the two girls and boy, it was the laughter of a devil. While, their faces started to pale from their natural skin tone.

🎶 See your body into the moonlight

Even if I try to cancel

All the pictures into the mind...🎶

Skrrt, skrrrrt..... skrrt

"I'm going to hurl", said Ashe as her face went from pale to extreme paleness. She continued to hold it in.

While, Vee fainted awhile go from the drifts. Believing that she was going to die moments later.

Ben started to scream, "Ahhhh, stop the car for heaven's sakes!"

David continued to laugh within the car without anyone's care.

David cutted the time down to roughly fourteen minutes. Only straights from there on.

"Alright, we're almost there already, so quit being like babies. Vee. Hey, Vee! Wake up!"

"Huh, am I dead yet? Have I gone to hell and met with my grandma and grandpa", as she felt as though she was hallucinating.

David gave her a small chuckle and a kiss to her forehead pretty quick before driving normally, "No, silly. You're not dead yet."

"D-David? Is that you? You must have died with me as well."

David, not looking at her, gave her a pinch on the cheek to fully wake her up.

"Ouch", as Veronica got her bearings!

"David, you son of a b***h! You could've killed us-- all of us", as Veronica said in an angry tone!

David grabbed her a hand to soothe her emotional damage, "Oh, come on. We got here just fine didn't we?"

But Veronica took back her hand from him. She was still mad at David.

"Hmph!" as Veronica turned her body 35 degrees to the window.

David knew he wasn't going to get to her. So, he began to start a conversation to the other two.

He looked up to his front mirror, "How are the both ya holding up?"

"Stop the car. I'm not feeling too good David" as Ashe responded with a very, very pale face.

David stopped the car near road sign, "Okay".

Ashe rushed out of the car and threw up nothing but clear liquid. She wiped her mouth with her sleeve and said to David, "Next time, don't do that ever again."

David smiled and sweared to her, "Okay, okay. If I do that again I swear to cross my heart and hope to die."

Ashe gave him and a glare before going into the car again. David rubbed his head and looked at Ben.

"What about you Ben?"

Ben's heart was beating fairly quick with a pulse of 180, "Hory Shet!! I thought I saw all three Jesuses for a second. I got to calm down my raging, but fragile heart!"

Ben huffed and puffed for awhile before calming down. Ben gripped David's shoulder before saying, "David, next time, when you do that warn us before you start drifting. It won't be you next time who will send me jesus. My mom will grab her slipper and send you along with me to jesus. I don't think you will like my mother turn into a demon."

David felt his spine shiver when he remembered the time Ben's mom became a raging demon.

Slight flashback.

David called Ben's mother to help him help to rescue Ben from a bunch of gangsters. David knew he couldn't done it by himself as there was too many of them, around 19 people in total.

Ben's mother rushed towards the location that David gave her.

As soon as she saw her son being bullied by a bunch of gangsters with crowbars, hammers, bats, etc.

She walked slowly towards one of the gangster. While, the closest gangster heard someone behind him.

The gangster A told the rest to stop to look at the petite lady, "Hey, fellas! Look who we have here. Did someone called their mommy to protect himself?"

All the gangsters laughed and told her to mind her own business.

In a cold, Asian accented tone, "You think it's funny to bully my son in front of me?"

Before gangster A had time to react, he was kneed in the face.

All the gangsters reacted before saying, "Get her!!"

It was a one-sided slaughter. All the gangster had either black and blue faces, broken arms and broken legs. All three legs were broken.

Even the small time, gangster leader had his balls crushed and stepped on a few times into oblivion. In this and probably his next lives, he will remember to not to offend someone and be an eunuch. End of flashback.

David saluted and stuttered, "O-o-okay, I will remember for sure!"

Ben smirked and went into the car as well.

After that short episode, they begin to drive again. A short period of awkward silence David begins to talk to the gang.

"In just seven more minutes will arrive at our destination!"

"Great"

"Finally"

"I'm starting to regret my decision."

David said to Ben, "Don't worry about it Ben. Just one night and we're done. We can go back to our homes and continue doing normal activities within normal lives."

All of a sudden, a large thing crashed onto the side of the car. The car tumbled down into the forest.

"Ahhh!!!!" x4
