2024-10-29 19:42:56The trip to Lakewood Cabin was a rather quiet one. The kids had taken off two hours ago, 11am, not the actual time that was agreed upon the night before, thanks to Stacie and Louie, who had arrived at the meeting point at 10.57am.
They had tendered some excuses about having to wash the bus and have it fueled for the trip, which none of the kids were having, since they were always the ones to come later than the rest. It was Ezekiel, the eldest among the clique who first took the initiative to take a jibe on the two love birds, then the rest followed like gang members, who had been waiting their turn to assault a target.
The two had apologized sincerely, and everyone had taken their spot in the white Ford Transit that belonged to Stacie's grandpa. Ezekiel had taken the wheel for one hour and an hour later, Louie relieved him and drove for another hour.The sun took on a harsher form as noon passed by, its golden ray beamed brightly on the windshield, forcing Louis

"Guys, guys, we can’t just stand here forever." She threw her hands up in frustration.Ruth who hasn’t said anything all through the ride down to Lakewood was already losing her patience."Ugh!" she grunted, "Dani can you lead the way inside, please? I’m tired and I need to pee. If y’all wanna stay out, fine!" She took her duffel bag and box and walked up to the door."Let’s grab our stuff and go in," Dani said, scurrying past everyone to unlock the door. As soon as they all entered the house, the stench of dust hit them hard, the house felt cold."I-I-I can-n-n-t finds a switch. Oh, okay, I got it," Ruth said, feeling excited already. The house was neatly organized and decorated as if someone cleaned it because they were coming."Whoa!" Stacy exclaimed."Let’s get settled then, we should pick our rooms," said Ezekiel, he picked up his box and followed his girlfriend, they all followed Dani.Ruth wh

It's been two days since they arrived at Lakewood. It was Sunday morning around 7 am, jasper was awake he didn't know why because, it was very unusual for him to be awake by this time of the morning. He got up from the bed wearing only his briefs and the fluffy catty slippers that Mrs. Baldwin gifted him two months ago. He entered the bathroom, opening the cabinet he took out his brush and toothpaste, closing the cabinet, he swore he saw a lady behind him in the mirror, he opened the cabinet and closed it he saw the lady, this time he took a closer look at her, she looked almost normal except that her skin was too pale, he closed the cabinet again and was about to open it,"hey babes, morning""Morning babes" he replied nonchalantly, brushing his teethIgnoring his tone " why you looking like you seen a ghost""That's because I saw one right where you're standing" he mumbled incoherently"What did you say""Nothing babes, I'll be

"Are you OK?" Louie asked, concern written all over his face."Yea I am", scratching the back of her head she tried to remember what had happened, but it was blurry, the only thing she remembered, was she walking in the hallway and the rest she was still finding it hard to remember."What happened? Did jasper attack you ?" Ivan asked."I haven't seen him!" She replied hastily."Here, let me help you up," Ivan said, holding his hand out, she held it and he pulled her up.They all entered the room, jasper was laying on the bed, laying on his back with no shirt on except his black pants, his hand was folded on his chest and he wasn't breathing.Ruth sat beside him, his hand was cold against hers, "jas baby, jas baby!"There was no response, he laid still and as cold as anyone could get.Fear gripped her, she placed her head on his chest, his heart was beating faintly,Ruth lost it, she began to cry."He's

"I don't understand, first, it was Ruth and then you," Ezekiel said gesticulating with his hands. "Is this some kind of joke?" he added."Jokes? really? who jokes with such things" Jasper flares."Then why is your story not adding up""Because you don't understand, that's a better way to put it and not by saying this is some kind of joke""Because it feels like a joke to me""You know what Zeke", Jasper said, he was angry already "just forget it, I'm awake and that's all that matters", he said, standing up from the bed, he picked up the lighter and an already wrapped blunt. He was going out for a smoke, Ezekiel dragged him by his arm and shoved him back, "we're not done talking man""Oh yes, we are," Jasper answered.Jasper is known to have a temper and the one who acts fast that no one dares. He stood face to face with Ezekiel."Whether you believe my story or not, I don't fucking care, touch me again and I'd not hesitat

Dani said, not bothering to take her eyes off the diva's magazine."The both of you need to shower," "you smell of sex" Ruth's face turned a shade of crimson red. "Shut up" she playfully punched Ezekiel.He faced Jasper whose face cringed with anger. "I'm sorry about earlier, I know I shouldn't have said what I said though, whatever is going, we would figure it out"Jasper's face softened " I'm sorry too" he was going to hug him but, Ezekiel stepped back covering his nose and laughing."Seriously, you were going to hug me with your sex smelling body" "ewwwww, that's gross" he added."Wait until I catch ya" Jasper bellows loudly, he began to chase Ezekiel but Patrick stopped him around the corner that led to the dining room. "Hug me instead," he told Jasper and he hugged him. "I love to s

First, it was Elena Martins the ghost, then the other unknown ghosts and Ruth's injury.

She opened her eyes after the door had closed behind Ivan, he was the last to leave, adjusting the bandage he had wrapped around her head. Thank God for the first aid kits and home service medical kits that Danielle's family had in the house, he was able to stop the blood before she lost too much, they couldn't bear the risk of losing one of their friends.Ruth was still feeling pain, pain for every bad thing that has happened in her life, she thought life would be so sweet but as she was growing up and started to know more about life, she realized life was full of ups and downs, life wasn't going to be fair every time, she wished her best friend didn't die, maybe life would have been easier, not like life has been any easier or whatever, she drew in a long breath.Ever since she became friends with the girls and the rest of the guys, she had tried to stay on her own and kept more to herself, but Jasper had told her to pitch in more and Danielle and Stacie were a

She woke up, her head banging, "Ewww!" She muttered, cringing her face."Hey, take it, easy tiger," Ivan told her, making her rest back on the bed and adjusting the pillows, "you're strong Ruth""I thought I was going to die," she said" If we'd stayed longer than an hour, you could have died, we came on time""My lips feel dry and my throat is not any better" Ivan chuckled, Ruth laughed,"here, drink up" he offered her a glass of water."Ahh, that felt good, where's jasper?"

She stopped walking fast, bending on her knees on the granite floor, she cried into her palms, she still could not believe what Dani said. After some minutes of crying, she continued walking to the other house, she opened the door and the smell of dust hit her nose strongly, she coughed.Pointing the torch around, she took a deep breathe "OK Anjali, you can do this" she told her herself speaking Hindu. She entered, pointing the torch around to find the meters, she heard a sound like someone dropped something on the floor, she ignored the sound, the woods creaked behind her, she looked behind her but saw no one, she shrugged it off, she found what she was looking for and saw that a wire had been cut or loosen, either way, that was why the light went off.She dropped the torch on the floor so she could fix it quickly, she checked it and immediately figuring how to adjust the wire. She quickly fixed it and the lights came on. She smiled, cheering herself "I'm a genius."
