The Scout Day

NIGHT 1

I woke up one day to my 3 am alarm. Today is just scout day. I tell myself as I gather my things, get ready and meet my team at our warehouse. We're all good friends that share the same hobbies, once we all eat we gather everything we may need for a scout, lights, cameras, and each other.

"Yo Eli!" I heard Brett, my audio tech, say to me, which surprised me as he's usually very quiet.

"We got some new supplies to help you!" he said quickly after "we have stronger flash lights and more sensitive cameras!"

"What!?" I was dumbfounded, that stuff is expensive! "That's… Awesome!" I quickly hugged him and we all soon got into the van with our gear with it now being 6 am I counted off everything we needed. It's tedious but necessary. After we knew we had everything we were off for a 4 hour car drive.

After the car drive we were at our location, an old Victorian house. We all got into groups and split up, me and Aiden got downstairs and Ally and Liliana went upstairs, our audio and video tech watching our cams in the van while we got the lay out of the house for later that day.

"So Eli, what made you choose this place?" Aiden said

"Well a family of 5 apparently died here in 1852 from unknown circumstances, and most people think that it was a curse"

He just nodded with a small smile and opened a door as it made a loud creak

"Hello?" Aiden said jokingly as his voice echoed in the room. I shone my bright flashlight and saw that it was a bedroom, the morning light barely creaking through the big, round window. In the middle of the wall there is a run down queen sized bed and a vanity with a broken mirror on it. As we walk into the room the floor creaks and our flashlights show more, mostly cobwebs and broken kids toys. I look in the closet to see clothes hung up all dusty but in good condition. We eventually looked around more rooms and found a dining hall that could be in better condition, the floor was all mushy and there was moldy food on the plates, the wallpaper was all run down and there had to of been mice living in the walls at some point.

"ELI! AIDEN!" we both heard the two girls yell. We ran upstairs and saw that they were kneeling over a wooden chest.

"Ally, Lilliana- don't touch it, we don't know what will happen" Aiden was quick to say, sounding serious.

"Oh don't be a big wuss, what we'll get cursed?" Lilliana said

"OooOOoOOo~" Ally was quick to add

"Oh shut up you guys, didn't you hear what happened to the owners of this house?" Said Aiden as he motioned to me, so I kneeled over, not wanting to sit on anything and told them the story of the house.

"One day the Foster family where getting ready to go church as they always did, when they were seen the day before all happy and healthy, people say while getting ready they heard screams from the house and then silence, when officers went to investigate they found nothing, as if they just left to go somewhere. The family always hosted these, extravagant parties and reports say that the house was somewhat uncanny, as that they felt they where always getting watched from that day forward."

Everyone had stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide and the girls both looked over their shoulders, almost in sync. Aiden was frozen, as pale as a ghost, you could see a slight shake. As for the guys in the van? I have no idea. Though, knowing them their just glad to be here, the girls suddenly had no interest in opening the chest and we swept the whole upstairs together, finding an attic. As I and Ally went up to it we saw a bunch of mannequins and old paintings. We noticed something odd with one of them but we just ignored it for as long as we could until we were about to go down.

"Eli..I feel like I'm being watched" Ally said, some fear in her voice

"Oh you'll be fine, It's probably your nerves." She just nodded and we went down. Nothing else happened until the investigation.
