"Die first?" Freddy laughed nervously. "Um, yeah, sure...you both know I wouldn't let anything happen to you guys." Those words were spoken truthfully, but Freddy just wasn't the bravest guy around. Mori tossed the flashlight at him and he fumbled with it for a few moments before finally clasping it tightly between both hands. He pointed the white beam around the room while Mori whipped out her camera and joked around. "Quit it, Mori," Freddy faked a laugh, "you're starting to scare Anna-" the girl gave him a soft kick to the shin and the blonde turned several shades of red. "You're starting to scare us, I mean...but mostly Anna--AGRGHGH"

Freddy practically leaped into Mori's arms a second time when the sound of thunder filled the house once more.

"No," Anna was laughing quietly at Freddy's little scene. "No floor plans, but I did ask Mr. Shelby about the place." Mr. Shelbey lived not too far from the haunted house, he was a nice man in his thirties who liked to go to the library to read. "Three floors, many rooms, there's an attic and a basement too." 

"Whoo, this place is huge." Freddy did a few weak fist pumps and whistled again before he heard a few muffled voices.

The boy jolted upright and Anna did the same. "Did you or did you not hear that? MORI, put down the camera. I swear, I swear, this time I heard something. It sounded like voices." He shone his swept his flashlight across the room. "Let's just get those photos and leave, you guys can spend the night at my place."

"Friday," Flynn was using his stern older-brother voice. "The bad news is that we're stuck here until the rain stops. We could get sick and we could get scolded for trespassing. This is private property and it's a [i]school night.[/i] He gave his friend a frown but ended up laughing when he started pleading for Aislyn's forgiveness.

The redhead just arched an eyebrow at Friday and laughed. "Friday. It's a hair clip. Not my mother's wedding ring." Aislyn gave him a grin, but the smile turned into something more mischievous when her friend practically leapt onto Flynn's back.

"It could be a cat or something," Flynn stated.

Aislyn nodded her head. "Yeah, it's either a cat, OR it's that guy that went missing." Aislyn stuffed her hands into her pockets and made her way towards Friday with an excited grin. "Okay, Flynn and I are here, so spill it. What's the dare?" There was a challenging tone in her voice, one that Flynn recognized well. Both of his friends could be quite competitive if they wanted to be and he had seen them go bicycle racing, tree climbing and running all day, all in the name of a dare.

To be frank, sometimes Friday and Aislyn did stupid things in the name of competition, so he was just glad he was there to keep an eye on them. They were idiots sometimes...but they were his idiots.
