Hey, how is everyone doing, must say been pretty busy myself, hence why I never submitted anything or finished up my previous story, ( which I will finish up soon ) well I have made some time to get around to writing this little idea I head, I wanted to do a Halloween themed story for some time now, and had a few concepts to choose from, I went with this one because, it felt the most fun to and interesting to write about, with that said, I hope you all do enjoy, and would love any feed back thanks !
In the Haunted House " FFM/M part 1
I'm sure you have all heard of those classic dares friends, usually kids would say to one another about, spending the night in the old " Haunted " house down at the end road right ? it was a sort of rights of passage for many kids to dare friends in order to get into their cool club or stuff like that. or else you'd be labeled a wimp, well, lets just say, such a form of " initiation " has been passed through my home town for many years among and it was part of the reason I find myself in such a position I was not feeling too well about, though I think I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, let me introduce myself , my name is Billy, I'm currently 18 years old and in my last year of high school.
Now Halloween was fast approaching, as in it was only a day away, and everyone was getting excited for the big holiday, you see Halloween was always sort of a very festive time in my town, shops and houses, always had some sort of spooky décor to go with the holiday, and trick or treating was a big thing of course, as well as Halloween parties, however in spite of all the festivities, I myself was never all that big a fan of the Holiday compared to the rest of the town, I didn't hate it or anything, I just never got the appeal of all this, dressing up and trying to scare others business. sure I loved getting candy as a kid, but the overall festivities never grew onto me.
well, anyway, this year, things took a very unexpected turn for me, as I soon was to find myself in a very peculiar pediment and facing things I never thought I would, it all started shortly after the last period of the day in school and everyone was ready to head out, Halloween was this Saturday, and there was no better time then ever for the holiday to be on one, everyone was excited for the big events planned, mainly the big Halloween party in the Schools gym, I knew everyone was going to be there, even I was going to attend, sure I probably wouldn't dress up, but some old friends of mine, had persuaded me come along.
however it was when I was walking home, I was stopped by my them, that who'd be Eric, a tall guy, same age as me, sort of your joke around fella specially when you got to know him, then there was Tammy, and Sarah, also my age.they were pretty close, great friends, I had knew these three all my life pretty much, ever sense I was in grade school anyway. and I always found them to be a bit more on the adventurous side of things compared to me, and I knew they loved the Holiday a lot more then I really did, they loved the Halloween party ,
felt like at the years were going buy, we were starting to slightly drift away, which I felt was a commo thing with us all nearing our final year in high school together. but either way, we still remained as close as we could.
" oh hey, guys, " I say stopping in my tracks, as Eric approached me.
" Billy, man, glad we caught you, we have something important to say " he said as I raised my brow a little,
" oh, what's up then ? " I asked as Both Tammy and Sarah both stood next to him now,
" okay, well, you know how we all made plans this Halloween to just spend the evening at the Halloween dance, then maybe go watch some Horror movies ? " He explained as I nodded slightly,
" yeah, what about it ? is it canceled, did something happen ? " I asked as Eric shook his head.
" no no, well, nothing bad, I mean, well there has been a change of plans." he said as I looked confuse for a moment and glanced over at Tammy and sarah who both nodded in confirmation
" it's true, which is why we needed to catch you now, to make sure you'll be okay with it " Tammy said. as I looked confused a bit more now.
" why ? what's going on, what's going to happen ? " I said now more curious to find out. as Eric now began to explain the situation
" well, we were all thinking, that maybe this year, instead of heading to the Halloween party like we planned " he said as he rather mischievous grin grew on his face. before he continued " we'd spend the Night instead, at the Old The Millwood Home " he stated, as I could feel a cold chill run up my body at at the mention of that name, a very cold tingle indeed.
" what ? are for real ? " I said shaking my head in disbelief that they'd suggest that ? they had to be joking.
" oh come on Billy, think it can't be that bad, it'd be fun, think of it, spending the spookiest night of the year, in the spookiest house in town ? that'd be a blast, and a great way to spend Halloween night. " Sarah now said speaking up
" yeah, she's right man, it'd be a lot of fun, Unless, you are still chicken after all these years " Eric said in a tone of mockery, one that suddenly made my cheeks slightly burn now
" hey come on ! I was only 12, what do you expect, I mean are you guys still going to be on my case about that ? I said as everyone just gave a teasing smirk
" oh, come on, Billy, were just teasing you, your right it is in the past, but, really we are serious , we thought it'd be fun to spend the night there, all of us, " Tammy sated with a nod
" yeah, we'd all be together, so, you won't have to do it alone like before " Eric said with a snicker as I glared at him.
" look, guys, I get it's going to be Halloween, and doing something like this would be fitting, but why would anyone want to spend any time in that dumb old rotting place ? were not kids anymore, that tradition has long sense passed, I think we should let such things be buried and forgotten " I stated firmly
" yes, I we know that, which is why we want to try and bring it back, at least just for one night. I mean come on, don't you want to at least give it another try, sort of a way to make up for not doing what you were years ago, ? only, we'd all be there, spending the spookiest night together, sharing ghost stories, or even looking for some ? we all just want to spend this Halloween together, inside that old creepy house,and I mean all of us, this time, " Eric said as I simply stood there for a moment not giving an answerer, that is until I rolled my eyes.
" Think about it, it could be very fun, plus we'd be probably the first people to even step foot in that old place in years ! " Sarah added.
" come one Billy, we won't do it without you " Tammy added, both girls giving me this pleading puppy eyed look.,
" aw, you can't say no to that ? can you man " Eric said shaking his head. I just stood their for a moment as I rolled my eyes now.
" oh gee, * sigh * okay, okay fine, I'll come along too then, happy now ? " I said as both the girls exclaimed excitingly that they were.as Eric patted my back
" ha ha ! see man that's the spirit ! look we'll all head her by six o'clock,, see you all then, ! " Eric said with a nod as we headed off as Tammy and Sarah and Sam both gave me smile and nod as well before heading off,
I just stood there for a moment as I began to wonder what I had got my self into now. The mill wood house was something I was not ever hoping i'd have to step foot in, even though I almost did at one point, let me explain
so, this is where I was getting at in the beginning by explaining how some youth like to dare others into staying in a haunted house as long as they can, or be labeled a wimp and uncool, well, The Millwood Home, or house, whatever, was just that sort of place for my town, an old run down house that sat in a rather dark and spooky part of town, a place were street light flickered from neglect and trees began to overgrow the area,
The Millwood home itself was infamous among kids, teens and even some adults, it was a very old house that was rumored to be incredibly Haunted, by whom you may ask ? well that's the thing, no one is sure as the stories about it always change, from a family being murdered and their ghosts still roaming the place,, to the house being built on a ancient burial ground cursed to scare anyone who enters it, all that sort of spooky stuff you usually hear about haunted houses ,but, either way, it's no joke that people say they have heard and seen things in that home, from many people whom dared to enter the place, specially at night. well, such tales have invoked the curious mind of many kids, who began a tradition of Making dares to one another to spend the night the home, of course, many couldn't find themselves to do it, while ever simply refused.
I unfortunately was one of those kids, you see, back when I was 12, on Halloween night, my friends had all made a dare that I was to spend the night spend the night in the Millwood Home to see if there really was any creepy or haunted about it i don't even recall how it came to be, guess it was all just a bit of Halloween fun and I got the short end of the stick when it came to spooky dares, anyway, they said they would tell my parents I was staying at one of their places after trick or treating ( it was a Friday night ) so they wouldn't know what we were really up too. needless I was really nervous about doing such a thing, but not wanting to seem like a wimp, I accepted the Dare, though to make the stakes higher, if I didn't go through with it, I'd have to give my Halloween candy to all of them and of course I didn't want to do that, and so with that we all approached the old spooky looking house after a successful night of trick or treating and getting loads of candy.
however as we approached the Miller home, my feeling of unease grew more and more, to at the point we reached it, I could see it's silhouette grow closer in the dark night sky , and as Embarrassed as I am to admit it when we approached the place I couldn't bring myself to do go through with it, all the stories I heard, the legends about the old place,, the awful things that happened, to my twelve year old mind, it all became to much and the thought of being alone in there over night didn't sit well with me at all, and before I even had a chance to step foot in the place, I bailed out, I simply said to the other I got to go home and headed straight there, taking my bag of candy with me. something my friends weren't too happy about, sense to them I had given it up to them right there,. but I worked all night for it and was not willing to part with my sweet treats over a dumb bet.
Needless to say, they weren't very pleased with my show of " bravery " and willingness to keep a promise on a bet, they eve went about teasing me on the matter at school afterword's for a little, clearly just sour they did not get my candy, but not too long after the whole ordeal passed however, they seemed to have just gotten over it, but they would tend to bring it up from time to time, but, they never seemed to make such a big deal about it, and over the years it's like they just forgot about it. until now that is.
either way, here I was now, getting what could be seen as a second chance to enter that old house, however in spite of being much older now. I was still feeling very uneasy about stepping foot in that place. but I knew it was going to be too late to back out it. however, if i Knew what laid ahead, I might just have
That Halloween Night
The sun was setting very quickly as the night was fast approaching, which meant the evening festivities were all starting up, the main event being the Trick or treaters running from house to house dressed in their Halloween costumes, Aiming to get as much candy as they could, while many others, peers around my age, were getting ready to head to the big Halloween party at the High school, an event me and my friends were planning to spend the evening, but now, instead, were making our destination, to the old Miller House on a more secluded part of town.
as I left my house after telling my folks I'd be spending the night at my friends place, they thought nothing of it and said just to not steal any candy from the trick or treaters, I just rolled my eyes jokingly and headed off. were I ended up meeting Eric, Tammy and Sarah, outside his place, were they all stood, each carrying a backpack, which I myself was doing as well, as we all agreed, just to pack a few things we'd need to stay the night over. mainly food, water, maybe some warm clothes if needed.
" about time you made it, were are all ready to head off " Eric said, as i nodded
" yeah, yeah, forgive me for being ever so late " I said rolling my eyes. " come on let's just get this over with. " I said clutching my bag over my shoulder
" oh, don't worry, we will, it's going to be a Halloween, none of us will forget " Eric said as both Tammy and Sarah looked eager to head on. each holding their bags as well.
soon we were all off, making our way down the many streets of our town to our destination, many which had houses all decked out with Halloween flare, jak-o-laterns scary ghost hanging on walls, witches, tombstones, all the sorts., and many trick or treaters heading to them to gather candy, however the more we pressed on, the more scares these things became, lesser houses, lesser people, lesser light, and I soon remember doing this exact same thing nearly 7 years ago, walking along the paths of town, on a Halloween night just like this, getting closer to the dreary place many people never went, and hear I was again, all these years later, doing the same thing.
I began to wonder, why, why did people take theses tales of the house so seriously, why did people like being scared so much ? it never made much sense to me, I was never one who enjoyed being frightened, yet, it was a big part of this holiday, hence why I was even out here tonight, why do I let myself get pulled into things ? I thought, However my thoughts were soon halted, as everyone had finally had stopped walking, and in a ominous manner Eric glanced back at us now and spoke up.
" well my creep seekers, we have reached our destination " He then motioned his hand forward for us and we all, save for me, quickly gathered around him, I slowly peeking out from behind. there in front of us, was indeed, the Old Miller home, and it looked just as bad, if not worse, then the night I had dared not stop inside. the Home was a two story house with a porch that has a bit of covering over it from the rood, the house was also rather on the large side, not big enough to be a mansion, but still bigger then your common suburban home you'd find. the house overall it had a very vintage look to it, given as the house was probably a hundred years old, that would be expected, as it was showing it's age very well, it's wood paneling's starting to chip away, singles having fallen off, window shutters broken or missing, it had two chumminess on either side of it, certainly would have been expensive home of it's time.
" well, what are we waiting for then ? better get on inside then " Sarah said speaking up now, she grabbed her bag and a flash light out of it, flicking it on shinning it at the old house.
Soon Tammy and Eric did the same as well,
I though just stared up at the place, remembering how I felt the first time I ever came near it, the uneasy vibe I got from it, the stories, the whole thing, it just put me off, and frankly it was now.
" come one billy, ! " I was snapped out of my thoughts again as I saw the others approaching the place. I simply steppe lightly as I made my way over to it as well, and up onto the porch with them. the wooden floorboards creaked loudly, we looked around seeing nothing on the porch save for one old broken looknig rocking chair, having lost it's side rocker, and being nearly on its side now.
" ooh, wonder who use to sit in that thing " Eric said shining his flashlight on it. " well, better try the door now " he then grabbed at the door knob and jiggled it a bit, I was half hoping that it wouldn't work and we'd be locked out, but, much to my slight dismay, the door opened with a low creek.
" whoa, it opened, and here I was thinking we'd had to find another way in " he laughed
" well seeing as no one really owns this place, I wouldn't think breaking a window would have been a big deal " Tammy said
" yeah, but who wants to climb through broken glass " she Sarah added.
" would you all just get in here ? " Eric said as he was already stepping inside., the girls all didn't waste another minute as they both stepped inside, I though stood outside for a moment, looking at the door and then looking back behind me, at the dimly lit street, hesitating on the action to enter.
swallowing I take my first step and make my way into the house, were I was met with nothing but darkness,and the creaking sound of my shoes touching the old wooden floor it seems.
" Eris ? Tammy ? sarah ? where are you guys ? " said not seeing their flash lights glowing anywhere
" right here !! " I heard Eric yell sounding very close to me I nearly stumble back a bit as I see all three of there flash lights go on revealing their faces. giggling of course
" don't do that, " I say rubbing my head,
" sorry, couldn't resist " Eric chuckled
" and after all, it is Halloween, always good time for a little trick " Tammy said.
I just sighed though, as I tried to look around the dark interior of the house. the others got my idea and did the same shining their flashlights around.
showing that we were inside a sort of mini foyer with a star case heading up into the darkness of the seconded floor., the place was covered in dust, smelt musty and had cob or spiderwebs all over.
" eeugh, yeah, not a very homely place now is it " Eric said looking around,
" well what would you expect, no one's lived in here for over 50 years now. I'm surprised it's even still standing " I said looking around, I then see Sarah walk over to a light switch and attempt to turn it on, of course, no such luck.
" yeah I imagine the Power would also be cut as well by now " Eric added then shined his flash light at a door off to the side " hey, come on, lets go see what's in there first ? might be a good place to set up our, " base " he said as he motioned for everyone to fallow, which he did.
inside this room now, there was actually a tad bit more light, coming through the rather torn and ripped curtains of the two large windows on one side, showing that this was a fairly large room, it was mostly bare, save for a couple things, one, a fire place along another side of the wall, one for one of the two chimneys we had seen outside, the other, and the most odd, was the single wooden chair sitting in the dead centere of the room ,
now that was certainly the most, unnerving thing about all this so far. just, the fact it was the only thing in the room and the fact it was placed in such a odd spot.
" wow, okay, that is creepy, why did someone leave an old wooden chair in this place, specially right in the middle of this room ? " I said
Eric shined his flashlight on it, " I don't know, but your right man, that is really creepy, wonder how long it's even been here, dosn't look too much older then the house does it ? " he said cocking his head.
" yeah,that is weird, I don't like it, can say that, " sarah said.
" are you guys really getting spooked over a chair ? " Tammy said shaking her head.
" well, look at it, it's in a rather strange spot, is the only real piece of furniture in this place, that's been abandoned for years. it is a little uncanny " Eric said." I mean lets take a moment to reflect on what were in here, the Millwood House, a place of so many strange and horrific tales, like the story of the family murdered by a deranged killer one night, buried their bodies right in the floorboards, or the romours of that crazed cult who would preform all these bizarre rituals in the basement, usually involving human sacrifice, and then theirs the whole this place was cursed to drive anyone in it insane with unrelating horrors and nightmares ! and many other crazed scenarios, all the reasons people say this place is the most haunted house around, so haunted, no one dares to visit it let alone live in it, and were standing in it, on what's supposed to be the spookiest night of the year. " Eric said now shining his flashlight under his chin,
the girls looked a little spooked I'd admit, but me, while I didn't exactly show it. I was a bit, okay, more then a bit, uneasy now.
I have heard so many tales about this place, and I certainly didn't want to spend much time in here, it was that reason why I was hoping we'd all just get bored of the place and leave at some point. I glanced around the room now , noting how empty it all was, this could be a good enough reason to leave, there was nothing in the place to check out anyway safe for that lone chair, I highly doubted there'd be anything else in the other rooms. but I decided to just stay quiet, not let any of them actually know how I was feeling, and decided to just keep looking around the room a bit more, However as I was examining the room, I heard it
" NOW ! "
I heard Eric yell, and before I could react felt hands all over my body, grabbing my arms, waist and even legs, as I was then pulled back in a state of confusion and panic, I felt myself be dragged back as I could see were I was being led to, toward the old wooden chair in the middle of the room., my yes grew wide as I struggled, not sure why or what was even happening to make them suddenly do this, but I didn't want to find out. or mess about. however despite my struggles I was sat into the Lone chair as they all pinned me down now as I struggled and yelled,
" Wait ! what are you guys doing ! what's going on !? " I protested, but those went unheard as they all pinned me down tightly to the chair. I then heard Sarah speak up
" I'll get the rope ! " she said in a almost cheery voice as she made her way over to one of the back backs, which only made me confused more,? rope ? why did they need rope ?
" Hold on !? what are you guys tal-mmmpphh ! " I quickly found myself cut off as a hand clamped itself over mine, it was Tammy,
" shh, just let us do our work, it'll be over quicker that way " she said with a little wink,
" mmpph ggghhh ! " I shout shaking my head, I didn't know what they had planned, but I was not up for it, not in the slightest.
" Hurry Sarah, don't think he wants to sit still for us " Eric said with a grin
" hold on, almost them " she responded,
despite my struggles and muffled protests, neither Tammy or Eric gave in and let me up from the chair, simply keeping me pinned to it tightly with all their strength. It didn't long for Sarah to return with what looked like coils and coils of rope now.
" great, we'll hold him some more, you tie his hands behind the chair, then we can all work on securing him. " Eric said with a nod as my eyes went wide now, they were going to tie me to the chair ?! no way !
" Nnngghhh !!! " I yelled and made one more frantic struggle to get up,but Tammy and Eric held on as tightly as the could as Sarah forced my arms behind my back now, and soon I felt her getting to work as the soft coils of rope began to wind around my crossed wrists. and began to them up tightly, not enough were it was cutting off any circulation or anything, but certainly tight enough I was not going to be getting my wrists free anytime soon.
" okay, he's all taken care of back here " Sarah said with a satisfied tone.
" great, now we can get to work on the rest of him, I'll handle his left leg and Sarah you his right, ,Tammy you don't mind keeping the noise down for us until we finished do you ? " Eric said indicating towered her hand over my mouth. as I then glared at him.
" of course not, wouldn't be a problem at all " she said giving me a teasing grin.
" great, then, now lets leave no " loose ends " Eric chuckled
Mmmph ? mmpph ! " I yelled and struggled even more now, I don't know what they had planned for me, what games this was, but I was no amused and wanted to be let go right now, however that was proving to be wishful thinking as Sarah made her way over to my right leg with some rope in hand and Eric had let go of me now, sense my arms were tied behind me and the chair, no threat of me getting up now. went over to my left, though Tammy kept her hand over my mouth still of course, I could see her smirking at me at bit when ever I glanced in her direction.
Eric meanwhile began to grab my leg and another coil of rope, were he started to tie it to the left leg of the chair, this earned him having to put up with my legs frantically now as he tried to firmly hold on to it.
" easy there man, no use fighting it. " he said as he began to wrap the rope around my leg and the chairs
" yeah, cause it's happening, and you don't have a say to get out of it " Sarah added with a smirk as she bean to tie my right leg to the chair.
" certainly no say " Tammy said with a grin.
" Mmmggg ! " I grunted now, as I felt both my legs become stuck to the chairs own legs, so much that both Eric and Sarah had stepped back now as they admired their handy work. I however just stared up at them clearly not looking amused by any of this.
" hmm, he looks like he won't be going anywhere, but, I think we could do with one more thing to make sure he's not leaving early " Eric said rubbing his chin.
" Oh, I know what you mean, I think I got it ! " Sarah said, hold that mouth for just a minute longer Tam, " sarah said as she ran back to the backpack and dug around inside it
" don't have to ask me to do it " Tammy chuckled. as I just glared at her.
Sarah however came back with yet another piece of rope in her hand.
" okay, now this should do nicely, let's get your Torso all secured " Sarah said as she reached down near my struggling body and proceed to tie my waist to the back of the pinning it back, I was now bound to the chair with no way of getting out easily, clearly my expression now was anything but amused, as Eric and Sarah all stood back again to watch me, Eric then looked over at Tammy
" Okay, I think you can let him, err, express his opinions now, " he said with a nod
" sure thing " Tammy giggled as she simply released her hand over my mouth and stood back along with the others facing me. needless to say I wasted no time " expression my opinions "
" What the Hell ! are you guys completely Nuts ! Untie me now ! this isn't funny ! " all those things and alike I began to spit out at them, as I fiercely struggled into my bonds, making the chair slightly rock to and fro, creaking as it did, that is until Eric finally raised his hand and spoke up.
" Okay, okay, let us explain Billy, " he said as I stopped my outburst of a rant and looked up at him, so he continued.
" listen, as you might not know or perhaps you do by now,, This has all been planned, as in tying you to that chair, hence why it was placed right were you are " he said as I looked rather shocked at this.
". that's right Me and the girls had planned this for quite a while now, that chair, your in, we put it there ourselves, earlier today, when there was more light out of course " he said with a snicker as I looked on perplexed at this, I glanced over at the other two who gave nods of conformation.
" it's true, we had, we actually planned this for some time try about, a few months or so, maybe more ? " Sarah said with a shrug.
" but, but why, why do this to me ? " I say not sounding as angry as just before, but more confused. why would my, friends ? plan to tie me up in the Millwood house ?
" well, it's simple Billy, you see, we just wanted to make sure, you couldn't leave this time, " Eric responded along with a simple nod.
" wha ? what do you ? I thought for a moment, then it hit me,this was all about that stupid bet from when we were all kids !
" wait ? you guys are still upset about me not spending the night in this place all those years ago ? " I said nearly dumbfounded by it.
" Billy, come one, think about it, all those years ago, you accepted the dare to say in the Millwood home, to see if any of the stories of how haunted it is are true ? and you backed out, further more, you never gave any of us the candy you owed, so, we all thought that tonight, we'd make sure you won't be leaving it this time. " Eric confirmed.
" yeah, you still owe us, and well, clearly you would never come here let alone say here on your own will, " Tammy added.
" which is why we tied you up, " sarah said in a almost innocent manner
I couldn't believe any of this, my own friends, were actually doing this, it was too crazy, regardless I spoke out, " okay first of all, that was a long time ago ! we were kids ! " I yelled, " and the other thing , I did agree to come ! I came out here did I not ? " I say trying to shift a bit into my bonds.
" well, yes, but how could we make sure you'd stick around, you probably would have just left again, like before " Eric said crossing his arms
" yeah, and that'd be no fun, " tammy added.
" so you think just keeping me tied to a chair was your best answer !? " I say struggling a bit more. " you guys have completely lost it, I confirm it, I knew coming out here was bad idea, I just didn't think it'd be because of my own friends ! " I said shaking my head. "
" well, sorry to say it buddy, you brought it on yourself, had you now shown to us before you weren't the kind to not keep to their word, we wouldn't have to take such drastic measures " Eric firmly said
I rolled my eyes " well, what ever was planned is no fun anymore, I mean really, think about it guys, why would anyone want to spend the night here, it's old, it's damp, it's musty, it's just overall a waste of time, and there is nothing here worth seeing I guarantee it " I said with another roll of my eyes.
" hmm, are you saying you don't believe any of those stories ? of the ghosts or murders ? hmm ? are you saying that, you didn't want to go in all those years back, all because this place seemed dull to you ? " Eric said folding his arms now.
"well, I mean, I don't know, isn't silly to believe in such things i said ? " as the others all just glanced at one another, hoping they'd just get the same idea and all leave, but truth, I still did not like this place at all.
" well, that sort of was why we dared you in the first place billy " Eric said with a firm nod.
" yeah, we did, we wanted to know if this place was really Haunted, we all did even you, which is why we dared you to spend the night in it. now ,we have our chance too find out " Tammy said as Sarah nodded in agreement.
" oh yeah ? and what if nothing turns out to be true, what if all we accomplish by spending the night here, is just smelling like old rotting wood ? hmm, some Halloween if you ask me, could have been a party " I said shaking my head, which I admitted to myself sounded much better to me now., however as I looked up, I suddenly saw each of my friends now, baring some rather, devious grins on their faces.
" your right billy, we would probably, however, we forgot to mention one other thing about all this, " Eric began as he looked over at the others " the thing is, we aren't going to be staying in the Millwood house tonight, You are going to be staying in the Millwood House tonight, Alone " he said with a rather foreboding tone
" Just like you were originally going to when we are, kids " Tammy added with a cruel sounding chuckle as my eyes had now went wide ?
" that's right, all alone tonight, in the Millwood house, Tied to that chair " Sarah chimed in, as I looked on in disbelief,
" wait ? what ?! " I shouted now
" you heard us Billy, your staying here tonight alone, like you should have before, and we have made sure you can't bail out this time " Eric said.
" wha ? n-no no no ! you can't do that, you can't leave me here alone ! "I said clearly my panic beginning to rise now
" but we can, and we will, and besides, what's the matter Billy ? I thought you weren't afraid any more. or this place was just too dull, wouldn't seem like a problem to spend the night in by yourself. " Eric laughed
" Yeah, sounds like it could be really nothing exciting, very boring, " Sarah said shaking her head lightly,
" yeah, but not for us oh no " Tammy added now, " we will be heading to the Halloween party as we planned before, we never intended to stay in this old place. ugh, so icky and uninviting, " she said with a mock wince,
I couldn't believe what I Was, hearing, this was all a set up ? by my own friends ? to be bound inside a old rumored haunted house, this is insane, !
" guys, come one, please, you don't really mean to do this ? " I said hoping to make them all change their minds " I mean, look I really am sorry about not sticking with that dare when we were only kids, I should have gone through with it, or given you my candy or what ever, please, don't just leave me here ! " I said struggling more now.
as I did though I saw Eric whisper into Tammy's ear as she giggled and nodded before waling off and over to the bags.
" sorry Billy, but, this is happening, I mean did you really think we'd all just forget about what you did ? or, didn't do ? " Eric said as I tried to test my bonds a bit more now.
" but this, this is crazy ! " I yelled " I mean have you guys really lost yo-gggff ! "
I was cut off by something being shoved into my mouth, a cloth material, I stopped as I looked back saw tammy with her hand over my mouth again keeping what ever she placed inside, stuck.
" shhh, no more talking from you " she said with a grin. she then showed me a long bandanna in her other hand. as I my eyes went wide, I soon realized she put a wadded up ball of cloth and was now going to keep it in there. I frantically began to struggle now and scream into the cloth.
" Mmmpppphhh ! "
" hush hush " she said as she wrapped the bandanna around my head covering my mouth. and tied it off behind me in a tight little knot.
I was now bound and gagged to the chair, my struggles increasing now.
" there, that should hold ya, not going anywhere this time are you ? " Eric teased.
" MMPPPH GGGHHHH ! " I yelled some more into the gag.
" right, yeah, just keep that thought for yourself " he laughed. as he continued " well then, here's how it'll be, we are going to leave, go make it to the rest of the halloween party, then go and watch horror movies, and maybe eat some pizzas, you know, have fun, while you, can stick tight around here, and just see how this old place is like in the middle of the night " Eric grinned
" yeah, maybe all those old tales of how Haunted this place is might be, true, or, maybe not, I guess you'll learn soon enough, Sarah chuckled.
" indeed, pretty crazy if must admit, I don't know how I'd handle spending the night in this place, it just give me the creeps " Tammy said with a mock shudder " but, guess I don't have too " she winked at me as I just struggled some more now.
well, guess that'll do it here for us then " Eric said checking his phone now, " ooh, yeah we still have plenty of time to check out the party for sure,, " he said looking at me now " but hey, look at it this way, you said you didn't want to go to it in the first place when we first invited you, so, you technically aren't, " he said patting me on the shoulder, I however just stared up at him with a look of concern,
" well, guess we should all head out then,don't really like spending much more time in this spooky place, can't say I envy you " Eric chuckled " but we'll be back first thing tomorrow though, to see how things turned out,so, sit tight till then " he chuckled again, this time as his own joke. as he and the girls now all packed up their things and proceeded to head toward the exit. all while I began to struggle and squirm some more in my bonds, only causing the chair to rock slightly and creak along the floor.
" Happy Halloween ! " I heard them all say from outside the room, and shortly I heard the sound of the front door to the place closing shut, leaving me now alone and inside the Millwood Home. bound and gagged to a chair. a notion that did not sit well with me, not in the slightest. with that I began to struggle like mad now hoping I could break free.
To be continued.
In the Haunted House " FFM/M part 1
I'm sure you have all heard of those classic dares friends, usually kids would say to one another about, spending the night in the old " Haunted " house down at the end road right ? it was a sort of rights of passage for many kids to dare friends in order to get into their cool club or stuff like that. or else you'd be labeled a wimp, well, lets just say, such a form of " initiation " has been passed through my home town for many years among and it was part of the reason I find myself in such a position I was not feeling too well about, though I think I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, let me introduce myself , my name is Billy, I'm currently 18 years old and in my last year of high school.
Now Halloween was fast approaching, as in it was only a day away, and everyone was getting excited for the big holiday, you see Halloween was always sort of a very festive time in my town, shops and houses, always had some sort of spooky décor to go with the holiday, and trick or treating was a big thing of course, as well as Halloween parties, however in spite of all the festivities, I myself was never all that big a fan of the Holiday compared to the rest of the town, I didn't hate it or anything, I just never got the appeal of all this, dressing up and trying to scare others business. sure I loved getting candy as a kid, but the overall festivities never grew onto me.
well, anyway, this year, things took a very unexpected turn for me, as I soon was to find myself in a very peculiar pediment and facing things I never thought I would, it all started shortly after the last period of the day in school and everyone was ready to head out, Halloween was this Saturday, and there was no better time then ever for the holiday to be on one, everyone was excited for the big events planned, mainly the big Halloween party in the Schools gym, I knew everyone was going to be there, even I was going to attend, sure I probably wouldn't dress up, but some old friends of mine, had persuaded me come along.
however it was when I was walking home, I was stopped by my them, that who'd be Eric, a tall guy, same age as me, sort of your joke around fella specially when you got to know him, then there was Tammy, and Sarah, also my age.they were pretty close, great friends, I had knew these three all my life pretty much, ever sense I was in grade school anyway. and I always found them to be a bit more on the adventurous side of things compared to me, and I knew they loved the Holiday a lot more then I really did, they loved the Halloween party ,
felt like at the years were going buy, we were starting to slightly drift away, which I felt was a commo thing with us all nearing our final year in high school together. but either way, we still remained as close as we could.
" oh hey, guys, " I say stopping in my tracks, as Eric approached me.
" Billy, man, glad we caught you, we have something important to say " he said as I raised my brow a little,
" oh, what's up then ? " I asked as Both Tammy and Sarah both stood next to him now,
" okay, well, you know how we all made plans this Halloween to just spend the evening at the Halloween dance, then maybe go watch some Horror movies ? " He explained as I nodded slightly,
" yeah, what about it ? is it canceled, did something happen ? " I asked as Eric shook his head.
" no no, well, nothing bad, I mean, well there has been a change of plans." he said as I looked confuse for a moment and glanced over at Tammy and sarah who both nodded in confirmation
" it's true, which is why we needed to catch you now, to make sure you'll be okay with it " Tammy said. as I looked confused a bit more now.
" why ? what's going on, what's going to happen ? " I said now more curious to find out. as Eric now began to explain the situation
" well, we were all thinking, that maybe this year, instead of heading to the Halloween party like we planned " he said as he rather mischievous grin grew on his face. before he continued " we'd spend the Night instead, at the Old The Millwood Home " he stated, as I could feel a cold chill run up my body at at the mention of that name, a very cold tingle indeed.
" what ? are for real ? " I said shaking my head in disbelief that they'd suggest that ? they had to be joking.
" oh come on Billy, think it can't be that bad, it'd be fun, think of it, spending the spookiest night of the year, in the spookiest house in town ? that'd be a blast, and a great way to spend Halloween night. " Sarah now said speaking up
" yeah, she's right man, it'd be a lot of fun, Unless, you are still chicken after all these years " Eric said in a tone of mockery, one that suddenly made my cheeks slightly burn now
" hey come on ! I was only 12, what do you expect, I mean are you guys still going to be on my case about that ? I said as everyone just gave a teasing smirk
" oh, come on, Billy, were just teasing you, your right it is in the past, but, really we are serious , we thought it'd be fun to spend the night there, all of us, " Tammy sated with a nod
" yeah, we'd all be together, so, you won't have to do it alone like before " Eric said with a snicker as I glared at him.
" look, guys, I get it's going to be Halloween, and doing something like this would be fitting, but why would anyone want to spend any time in that dumb old rotting place ? were not kids anymore, that tradition has long sense passed, I think we should let such things be buried and forgotten " I stated firmly
" yes, I we know that, which is why we want to try and bring it back, at least just for one night. I mean come on, don't you want to at least give it another try, sort of a way to make up for not doing what you were years ago, ? only, we'd all be there, spending the spookiest night together, sharing ghost stories, or even looking for some ? we all just want to spend this Halloween together, inside that old creepy house,and I mean all of us, this time, " Eric said as I simply stood there for a moment not giving an answerer, that is until I rolled my eyes.
" Think about it, it could be very fun, plus we'd be probably the first people to even step foot in that old place in years ! " Sarah added.
" come one Billy, we won't do it without you " Tammy added, both girls giving me this pleading puppy eyed look.,
" aw, you can't say no to that ? can you man " Eric said shaking his head. I just stood their for a moment as I rolled my eyes now.
" oh gee, * sigh * okay, okay fine, I'll come along too then, happy now ? " I said as both the girls exclaimed excitingly that they were.as Eric patted my back
" ha ha ! see man that's the spirit ! look we'll all head her by six o'clock,, see you all then, ! " Eric said with a nod as we headed off as Tammy and Sarah and Sam both gave me smile and nod as well before heading off,
I just stood there for a moment as I began to wonder what I had got my self into now. The mill wood house was something I was not ever hoping i'd have to step foot in, even though I almost did at one point, let me explain
so, this is where I was getting at in the beginning by explaining how some youth like to dare others into staying in a haunted house as long as they can, or be labeled a wimp and uncool, well, The Millwood Home, or house, whatever, was just that sort of place for my town, an old run down house that sat in a rather dark and spooky part of town, a place were street light flickered from neglect and trees began to overgrow the area,
The Millwood home itself was infamous among kids, teens and even some adults, it was a very old house that was rumored to be incredibly Haunted, by whom you may ask ? well that's the thing, no one is sure as the stories about it always change, from a family being murdered and their ghosts still roaming the place,, to the house being built on a ancient burial ground cursed to scare anyone who enters it, all that sort of spooky stuff you usually hear about haunted houses ,but, either way, it's no joke that people say they have heard and seen things in that home, from many people whom dared to enter the place, specially at night. well, such tales have invoked the curious mind of many kids, who began a tradition of Making dares to one another to spend the night the home, of course, many couldn't find themselves to do it, while ever simply refused.
I unfortunately was one of those kids, you see, back when I was 12, on Halloween night, my friends had all made a dare that I was to spend the night spend the night in the Millwood Home to see if there really was any creepy or haunted about it i don't even recall how it came to be, guess it was all just a bit of Halloween fun and I got the short end of the stick when it came to spooky dares, anyway, they said they would tell my parents I was staying at one of their places after trick or treating ( it was a Friday night ) so they wouldn't know what we were really up too. needless I was really nervous about doing such a thing, but not wanting to seem like a wimp, I accepted the Dare, though to make the stakes higher, if I didn't go through with it, I'd have to give my Halloween candy to all of them and of course I didn't want to do that, and so with that we all approached the old spooky looking house after a successful night of trick or treating and getting loads of candy.
however as we approached the Miller home, my feeling of unease grew more and more, to at the point we reached it, I could see it's silhouette grow closer in the dark night sky , and as Embarrassed as I am to admit it when we approached the place I couldn't bring myself to do go through with it, all the stories I heard, the legends about the old place,, the awful things that happened, to my twelve year old mind, it all became to much and the thought of being alone in there over night didn't sit well with me at all, and before I even had a chance to step foot in the place, I bailed out, I simply said to the other I got to go home and headed straight there, taking my bag of candy with me. something my friends weren't too happy about, sense to them I had given it up to them right there,. but I worked all night for it and was not willing to part with my sweet treats over a dumb bet.
Needless to say, they weren't very pleased with my show of " bravery " and willingness to keep a promise on a bet, they eve went about teasing me on the matter at school afterword's for a little, clearly just sour they did not get my candy, but not too long after the whole ordeal passed however, they seemed to have just gotten over it, but they would tend to bring it up from time to time, but, they never seemed to make such a big deal about it, and over the years it's like they just forgot about it. until now that is.
either way, here I was now, getting what could be seen as a second chance to enter that old house, however in spite of being much older now. I was still feeling very uneasy about stepping foot in that place. but I knew it was going to be too late to back out it. however, if i Knew what laid ahead, I might just have
That Halloween Night
The sun was setting very quickly as the night was fast approaching, which meant the evening festivities were all starting up, the main event being the Trick or treaters running from house to house dressed in their Halloween costumes, Aiming to get as much candy as they could, while many others, peers around my age, were getting ready to head to the big Halloween party at the High school, an event me and my friends were planning to spend the evening, but now, instead, were making our destination, to the old Miller House on a more secluded part of town.
as I left my house after telling my folks I'd be spending the night at my friends place, they thought nothing of it and said just to not steal any candy from the trick or treaters, I just rolled my eyes jokingly and headed off. were I ended up meeting Eric, Tammy and Sarah, outside his place, were they all stood, each carrying a backpack, which I myself was doing as well, as we all agreed, just to pack a few things we'd need to stay the night over. mainly food, water, maybe some warm clothes if needed.
" about time you made it, were are all ready to head off " Eric said, as i nodded
" yeah, yeah, forgive me for being ever so late " I said rolling my eyes. " come on let's just get this over with. " I said clutching my bag over my shoulder
" oh, don't worry, we will, it's going to be a Halloween, none of us will forget " Eric said as both Tammy and Sarah looked eager to head on. each holding their bags as well.
soon we were all off, making our way down the many streets of our town to our destination, many which had houses all decked out with Halloween flare, jak-o-laterns scary ghost hanging on walls, witches, tombstones, all the sorts., and many trick or treaters heading to them to gather candy, however the more we pressed on, the more scares these things became, lesser houses, lesser people, lesser light, and I soon remember doing this exact same thing nearly 7 years ago, walking along the paths of town, on a Halloween night just like this, getting closer to the dreary place many people never went, and hear I was again, all these years later, doing the same thing.
I began to wonder, why, why did people take theses tales of the house so seriously, why did people like being scared so much ? it never made much sense to me, I was never one who enjoyed being frightened, yet, it was a big part of this holiday, hence why I was even out here tonight, why do I let myself get pulled into things ? I thought, However my thoughts were soon halted, as everyone had finally had stopped walking, and in a ominous manner Eric glanced back at us now and spoke up.
" well my creep seekers, we have reached our destination " He then motioned his hand forward for us and we all, save for me, quickly gathered around him, I slowly peeking out from behind. there in front of us, was indeed, the Old Miller home, and it looked just as bad, if not worse, then the night I had dared not stop inside. the Home was a two story house with a porch that has a bit of covering over it from the rood, the house was also rather on the large side, not big enough to be a mansion, but still bigger then your common suburban home you'd find. the house overall it had a very vintage look to it, given as the house was probably a hundred years old, that would be expected, as it was showing it's age very well, it's wood paneling's starting to chip away, singles having fallen off, window shutters broken or missing, it had two chumminess on either side of it, certainly would have been expensive home of it's time.
" well, what are we waiting for then ? better get on inside then " Sarah said speaking up now, she grabbed her bag and a flash light out of it, flicking it on shinning it at the old house.
Soon Tammy and Eric did the same as well,
I though just stared up at the place, remembering how I felt the first time I ever came near it, the uneasy vibe I got from it, the stories, the whole thing, it just put me off, and frankly it was now.
" come one billy, ! " I was snapped out of my thoughts again as I saw the others approaching the place. I simply steppe lightly as I made my way over to it as well, and up onto the porch with them. the wooden floorboards creaked loudly, we looked around seeing nothing on the porch save for one old broken looknig rocking chair, having lost it's side rocker, and being nearly on its side now.
" ooh, wonder who use to sit in that thing " Eric said shining his flashlight on it. " well, better try the door now " he then grabbed at the door knob and jiggled it a bit, I was half hoping that it wouldn't work and we'd be locked out, but, much to my slight dismay, the door opened with a low creek.
" whoa, it opened, and here I was thinking we'd had to find another way in " he laughed
" well seeing as no one really owns this place, I wouldn't think breaking a window would have been a big deal " Tammy said
" yeah, but who wants to climb through broken glass " she Sarah added.
" would you all just get in here ? " Eric said as he was already stepping inside., the girls all didn't waste another minute as they both stepped inside, I though stood outside for a moment, looking at the door and then looking back behind me, at the dimly lit street, hesitating on the action to enter.
swallowing I take my first step and make my way into the house, were I was met with nothing but darkness,and the creaking sound of my shoes touching the old wooden floor it seems.
" Eris ? Tammy ? sarah ? where are you guys ? " said not seeing their flash lights glowing anywhere
" right here !! " I heard Eric yell sounding very close to me I nearly stumble back a bit as I see all three of there flash lights go on revealing their faces. giggling of course
" don't do that, " I say rubbing my head,
" sorry, couldn't resist " Eric chuckled
" and after all, it is Halloween, always good time for a little trick " Tammy said.
I just sighed though, as I tried to look around the dark interior of the house. the others got my idea and did the same shining their flashlights around.
showing that we were inside a sort of mini foyer with a star case heading up into the darkness of the seconded floor., the place was covered in dust, smelt musty and had cob or spiderwebs all over.
" eeugh, yeah, not a very homely place now is it " Eric said looking around,
" well what would you expect, no one's lived in here for over 50 years now. I'm surprised it's even still standing " I said looking around, I then see Sarah walk over to a light switch and attempt to turn it on, of course, no such luck.
" yeah I imagine the Power would also be cut as well by now " Eric added then shined his flash light at a door off to the side " hey, come on, lets go see what's in there first ? might be a good place to set up our, " base " he said as he motioned for everyone to fallow, which he did.
inside this room now, there was actually a tad bit more light, coming through the rather torn and ripped curtains of the two large windows on one side, showing that this was a fairly large room, it was mostly bare, save for a couple things, one, a fire place along another side of the wall, one for one of the two chimneys we had seen outside, the other, and the most odd, was the single wooden chair sitting in the dead centere of the room ,
now that was certainly the most, unnerving thing about all this so far. just, the fact it was the only thing in the room and the fact it was placed in such a odd spot.
" wow, okay, that is creepy, why did someone leave an old wooden chair in this place, specially right in the middle of this room ? " I said
Eric shined his flashlight on it, " I don't know, but your right man, that is really creepy, wonder how long it's even been here, dosn't look too much older then the house does it ? " he said cocking his head.
" yeah,that is weird, I don't like it, can say that, " sarah said.
" are you guys really getting spooked over a chair ? " Tammy said shaking her head.
" well, look at it, it's in a rather strange spot, is the only real piece of furniture in this place, that's been abandoned for years. it is a little uncanny " Eric said." I mean lets take a moment to reflect on what were in here, the Millwood House, a place of so many strange and horrific tales, like the story of the family murdered by a deranged killer one night, buried their bodies right in the floorboards, or the romours of that crazed cult who would preform all these bizarre rituals in the basement, usually involving human sacrifice, and then theirs the whole this place was cursed to drive anyone in it insane with unrelating horrors and nightmares ! and many other crazed scenarios, all the reasons people say this place is the most haunted house around, so haunted, no one dares to visit it let alone live in it, and were standing in it, on what's supposed to be the spookiest night of the year. " Eric said now shining his flashlight under his chin,
the girls looked a little spooked I'd admit, but me, while I didn't exactly show it. I was a bit, okay, more then a bit, uneasy now.
I have heard so many tales about this place, and I certainly didn't want to spend much time in here, it was that reason why I was hoping we'd all just get bored of the place and leave at some point. I glanced around the room now , noting how empty it all was, this could be a good enough reason to leave, there was nothing in the place to check out anyway safe for that lone chair, I highly doubted there'd be anything else in the other rooms. but I decided to just stay quiet, not let any of them actually know how I was feeling, and decided to just keep looking around the room a bit more, However as I was examining the room, I heard it
" NOW ! "
I heard Eric yell, and before I could react felt hands all over my body, grabbing my arms, waist and even legs, as I was then pulled back in a state of confusion and panic, I felt myself be dragged back as I could see were I was being led to, toward the old wooden chair in the middle of the room., my yes grew wide as I struggled, not sure why or what was even happening to make them suddenly do this, but I didn't want to find out. or mess about. however despite my struggles I was sat into the Lone chair as they all pinned me down now as I struggled and yelled,
" Wait ! what are you guys doing ! what's going on !? " I protested, but those went unheard as they all pinned me down tightly to the chair. I then heard Sarah speak up
" I'll get the rope ! " she said in a almost cheery voice as she made her way over to one of the back backs, which only made me confused more,? rope ? why did they need rope ?
" Hold on !? what are you guys tal-mmmpphh ! " I quickly found myself cut off as a hand clamped itself over mine, it was Tammy,
" shh, just let us do our work, it'll be over quicker that way " she said with a little wink,
" mmpph ggghhh ! " I shout shaking my head, I didn't know what they had planned, but I was not up for it, not in the slightest.
" Hurry Sarah, don't think he wants to sit still for us " Eric said with a grin
" hold on, almost them " she responded,
despite my struggles and muffled protests, neither Tammy or Eric gave in and let me up from the chair, simply keeping me pinned to it tightly with all their strength. It didn't long for Sarah to return with what looked like coils and coils of rope now.
" great, we'll hold him some more, you tie his hands behind the chair, then we can all work on securing him. " Eric said with a nod as my eyes went wide now, they were going to tie me to the chair ?! no way !
" Nnngghhh !!! " I yelled and made one more frantic struggle to get up,but Tammy and Eric held on as tightly as the could as Sarah forced my arms behind my back now, and soon I felt her getting to work as the soft coils of rope began to wind around my crossed wrists. and began to them up tightly, not enough were it was cutting off any circulation or anything, but certainly tight enough I was not going to be getting my wrists free anytime soon.
" okay, he's all taken care of back here " Sarah said with a satisfied tone.
" great, now we can get to work on the rest of him, I'll handle his left leg and Sarah you his right, ,Tammy you don't mind keeping the noise down for us until we finished do you ? " Eric said indicating towered her hand over my mouth. as I then glared at him.
" of course not, wouldn't be a problem at all " she said giving me a teasing grin.
" great, then, now lets leave no " loose ends " Eric chuckled
Mmmph ? mmpph ! " I yelled and struggled even more now, I don't know what they had planned for me, what games this was, but I was no amused and wanted to be let go right now, however that was proving to be wishful thinking as Sarah made her way over to my right leg with some rope in hand and Eric had let go of me now, sense my arms were tied behind me and the chair, no threat of me getting up now. went over to my left, though Tammy kept her hand over my mouth still of course, I could see her smirking at me at bit when ever I glanced in her direction.
Eric meanwhile began to grab my leg and another coil of rope, were he started to tie it to the left leg of the chair, this earned him having to put up with my legs frantically now as he tried to firmly hold on to it.
" easy there man, no use fighting it. " he said as he began to wrap the rope around my leg and the chairs
" yeah, cause it's happening, and you don't have a say to get out of it " Sarah added with a smirk as she bean to tie my right leg to the chair.
" certainly no say " Tammy said with a grin.
" Mmmggg ! " I grunted now, as I felt both my legs become stuck to the chairs own legs, so much that both Eric and Sarah had stepped back now as they admired their handy work. I however just stared up at them clearly not looking amused by any of this.
" hmm, he looks like he won't be going anywhere, but, I think we could do with one more thing to make sure he's not leaving early " Eric said rubbing his chin.
" Oh, I know what you mean, I think I got it ! " Sarah said, hold that mouth for just a minute longer Tam, " sarah said as she ran back to the backpack and dug around inside it
" don't have to ask me to do it " Tammy chuckled. as I just glared at her.
Sarah however came back with yet another piece of rope in her hand.
" okay, now this should do nicely, let's get your Torso all secured " Sarah said as she reached down near my struggling body and proceed to tie my waist to the back of the pinning it back, I was now bound to the chair with no way of getting out easily, clearly my expression now was anything but amused, as Eric and Sarah all stood back again to watch me, Eric then looked over at Tammy
" Okay, I think you can let him, err, express his opinions now, " he said with a nod
" sure thing " Tammy giggled as she simply released her hand over my mouth and stood back along with the others facing me. needless to say I wasted no time " expression my opinions "
" What the Hell ! are you guys completely Nuts ! Untie me now ! this isn't funny ! " all those things and alike I began to spit out at them, as I fiercely struggled into my bonds, making the chair slightly rock to and fro, creaking as it did, that is until Eric finally raised his hand and spoke up.
" Okay, okay, let us explain Billy, " he said as I stopped my outburst of a rant and looked up at him, so he continued.
" listen, as you might not know or perhaps you do by now,, This has all been planned, as in tying you to that chair, hence why it was placed right were you are " he said as I looked rather shocked at this.
". that's right Me and the girls had planned this for quite a while now, that chair, your in, we put it there ourselves, earlier today, when there was more light out of course " he said with a snicker as I looked on perplexed at this, I glanced over at the other two who gave nods of conformation.
" it's true, we had, we actually planned this for some time try about, a few months or so, maybe more ? " Sarah said with a shrug.
" but, but why, why do this to me ? " I say not sounding as angry as just before, but more confused. why would my, friends ? plan to tie me up in the Millwood house ?
" well, it's simple Billy, you see, we just wanted to make sure, you couldn't leave this time, " Eric responded along with a simple nod.
" wha ? what do you ? I thought for a moment, then it hit me,this was all about that stupid bet from when we were all kids !
" wait ? you guys are still upset about me not spending the night in this place all those years ago ? " I said nearly dumbfounded by it.
" Billy, come one, think about it, all those years ago, you accepted the dare to say in the Millwood home, to see if any of the stories of how haunted it is are true ? and you backed out, further more, you never gave any of us the candy you owed, so, we all thought that tonight, we'd make sure you won't be leaving it this time. " Eric confirmed.
" yeah, you still owe us, and well, clearly you would never come here let alone say here on your own will, " Tammy added.
" which is why we tied you up, " sarah said in a almost innocent manner
I couldn't believe any of this, my own friends, were actually doing this, it was too crazy, regardless I spoke out, " okay first of all, that was a long time ago ! we were kids ! " I yelled, " and the other thing , I did agree to come ! I came out here did I not ? " I say trying to shift a bit into my bonds.
" well, yes, but how could we make sure you'd stick around, you probably would have just left again, like before " Eric said crossing his arms
" yeah, and that'd be no fun, " tammy added.
" so you think just keeping me tied to a chair was your best answer !? " I say struggling a bit more. " you guys have completely lost it, I confirm it, I knew coming out here was bad idea, I just didn't think it'd be because of my own friends ! " I said shaking my head. "
" well, sorry to say it buddy, you brought it on yourself, had you now shown to us before you weren't the kind to not keep to their word, we wouldn't have to take such drastic measures " Eric firmly said
I rolled my eyes " well, what ever was planned is no fun anymore, I mean really, think about it guys, why would anyone want to spend the night here, it's old, it's damp, it's musty, it's just overall a waste of time, and there is nothing here worth seeing I guarantee it " I said with another roll of my eyes.
" hmm, are you saying you don't believe any of those stories ? of the ghosts or murders ? hmm ? are you saying that, you didn't want to go in all those years back, all because this place seemed dull to you ? " Eric said folding his arms now.
"well, I mean, I don't know, isn't silly to believe in such things i said ? " as the others all just glanced at one another, hoping they'd just get the same idea and all leave, but truth, I still did not like this place at all.
" well, that sort of was why we dared you in the first place billy " Eric said with a firm nod.
" yeah, we did, we wanted to know if this place was really Haunted, we all did even you, which is why we dared you to spend the night in it. now ,we have our chance too find out " Tammy said as Sarah nodded in agreement.
" oh yeah ? and what if nothing turns out to be true, what if all we accomplish by spending the night here, is just smelling like old rotting wood ? hmm, some Halloween if you ask me, could have been a party " I said shaking my head, which I admitted to myself sounded much better to me now., however as I looked up, I suddenly saw each of my friends now, baring some rather, devious grins on their faces.
" your right billy, we would probably, however, we forgot to mention one other thing about all this, " Eric began as he looked over at the others " the thing is, we aren't going to be staying in the Millwood house tonight, You are going to be staying in the Millwood House tonight, Alone " he said with a rather foreboding tone
" Just like you were originally going to when we are, kids " Tammy added with a cruel sounding chuckle as my eyes had now went wide ?
" that's right, all alone tonight, in the Millwood house, Tied to that chair " Sarah chimed in, as I looked on in disbelief,
" wait ? what ?! " I shouted now
" you heard us Billy, your staying here tonight alone, like you should have before, and we have made sure you can't bail out this time " Eric said.
" wha ? n-no no no ! you can't do that, you can't leave me here alone ! "I said clearly my panic beginning to rise now
" but we can, and we will, and besides, what's the matter Billy ? I thought you weren't afraid any more. or this place was just too dull, wouldn't seem like a problem to spend the night in by yourself. " Eric laughed
" Yeah, sounds like it could be really nothing exciting, very boring, " Sarah said shaking her head lightly,
" yeah, but not for us oh no " Tammy added now, " we will be heading to the Halloween party as we planned before, we never intended to stay in this old place. ugh, so icky and uninviting, " she said with a mock wince,
I couldn't believe what I Was, hearing, this was all a set up ? by my own friends ? to be bound inside a old rumored haunted house, this is insane, !
" guys, come one, please, you don't really mean to do this ? " I said hoping to make them all change their minds " I mean, look I really am sorry about not sticking with that dare when we were only kids, I should have gone through with it, or given you my candy or what ever, please, don't just leave me here ! " I said struggling more now.
as I did though I saw Eric whisper into Tammy's ear as she giggled and nodded before waling off and over to the bags.
" sorry Billy, but, this is happening, I mean did you really think we'd all just forget about what you did ? or, didn't do ? " Eric said as I tried to test my bonds a bit more now.
" but this, this is crazy ! " I yelled " I mean have you guys really lost yo-gggff ! "
I was cut off by something being shoved into my mouth, a cloth material, I stopped as I looked back saw tammy with her hand over my mouth again keeping what ever she placed inside, stuck.
" shhh, no more talking from you " she said with a grin. she then showed me a long bandanna in her other hand. as I my eyes went wide, I soon realized she put a wadded up ball of cloth and was now going to keep it in there. I frantically began to struggle now and scream into the cloth.
" Mmmpppphhh ! "
" hush hush " she said as she wrapped the bandanna around my head covering my mouth. and tied it off behind me in a tight little knot.
I was now bound and gagged to the chair, my struggles increasing now.
" there, that should hold ya, not going anywhere this time are you ? " Eric teased.
" MMPPPH GGGHHHH ! " I yelled some more into the gag.
" right, yeah, just keep that thought for yourself " he laughed. as he continued " well then, here's how it'll be, we are going to leave, go make it to the rest of the halloween party, then go and watch horror movies, and maybe eat some pizzas, you know, have fun, while you, can stick tight around here, and just see how this old place is like in the middle of the night " Eric grinned
" yeah, maybe all those old tales of how Haunted this place is might be, true, or, maybe not, I guess you'll learn soon enough, Sarah chuckled.
" indeed, pretty crazy if must admit, I don't know how I'd handle spending the night in this place, it just give me the creeps " Tammy said with a mock shudder " but, guess I don't have too " she winked at me as I just struggled some more now.
well, guess that'll do it here for us then " Eric said checking his phone now, " ooh, yeah we still have plenty of time to check out the party for sure,, " he said looking at me now " but hey, look at it this way, you said you didn't want to go to it in the first place when we first invited you, so, you technically aren't, " he said patting me on the shoulder, I however just stared up at him with a look of concern,
" well, guess we should all head out then,don't really like spending much more time in this spooky place, can't say I envy you " Eric chuckled " but we'll be back first thing tomorrow though, to see how things turned out,so, sit tight till then " he chuckled again, this time as his own joke. as he and the girls now all packed up their things and proceeded to head toward the exit. all while I began to struggle and squirm some more in my bonds, only causing the chair to rock slightly and creak along the floor.
" Happy Halloween ! " I heard them all say from outside the room, and shortly I heard the sound of the front door to the place closing shut, leaving me now alone and inside the Millwood Home. bound and gagged to a chair. a notion that did not sit well with me, not in the slightest. with that I began to struggle like mad now hoping I could break free.
To be continued.
