House of Fears

ℂℍ𝔸ℙ𝕋𝔼ℝ 𝕆ℕ𝔼 | 𝔻ℝ𝔸𝕎ℕ 𝕀ℕ𝕋𝕆 𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝔻𝔸ℝ𝕂ℕ𝔼𝕊𝕊

Pia POV-

Me, Raya, Amanda, and Kat were all walking down the sidewalk after school. We were playing "I spy" well, at least me, Raya, and Kat were. My sister was listening to music as she usually does. The neighborhood wasn't new to all of us as we were all living here since we were only small infants. We got bored of "I spy" and decided to play a guessing game instead. "Oooh!!! we should guess who lives in each of these houses!!" Kat exclaimed. "Hmm... sounds interesting enough, I'm in!" said Raya. "Of course, I'll play!" I replied and we all started the game.

"Mrs. Sai lives in that house!" Kat basically screamed. "Hmm... Mr. Simmons, the math teacher, lives in the house with the enlarged door." Raya pointed out. "I am pretty sure that's your house Kat!" I stated as we walked by Kat's fancy looking house. "Correct you are young one." Kat said with some kind of 'fancy' accent.

Nobody's POV-

The three girls were playing the game for about 8 more minutes until they stumbled upon a house they had never seen before. The house was large, painted black, and had an old wooden fence surrounding it. Despite it being daytime, the house gave of a scary aura like something you'd see in movies.

Amanda POV-

𝘌𝘶𝘨𝘩, these girls are all being so loud and annoying! I mean, don't get me wrong, I love them all, but they can be a lil' annoying sometimes... They keep playing some sort of spot the houses game or something, because they keep pointing at random houses and screaming things. I am on the edge of screaming at them!

We kept walking for about another 5 minutes until we stumbled upon some house we'd never seen before. It gave me '𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘣𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘴' and sent a chill down my spine. I don't know what was up with it but it felt as if the world had darkened as we passed by the large estate. right as we were presented before its cracked driveway the others stopped. 𝘖𝘩 𝘯𝘰 they were NOT planning on going inside, were they?

I took my headphones off and placed them around my neck. "You guys aren't going in there, are you?!" I said with utter fear in my voice. "Well... we only wanted to knock on their door and see who owns the place" Kat said with excitement beaming in her bright blue eyes. "It looks dangerous. What if the owner is some old lady or old man with a stick waiting for little children like us to step one foot on their lawn just to yell at us!" I screamed.

"Two seconds ago, you were acting as if we didn't exist, and now is the time you decide to speak up? Mind your own business, Amanda!" Kat said

Those words had hurt, after that moment I wanted to 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨 this 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵 by her hair all the way to my house. We were all having a sleepover at my house because it was a Friday.

"Kat, all I am saying is, its 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴. You shouldn't walk up to random peoples' houses!  𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢." I whispered into Kat's ear very softly. "Well, I am not a 'scaredy-cat' " Kat proclaimed as she darted toward the porch of the house.

We all sprinted after her, being as silent as possible as to not disturb the people in the home.

Nobody's POV-

Kat arrived upon the 'porch' of the large estate. Despite the absolute excitement exploding inside of Kat's soul, she remained calm. She pulled out a small, white, glove and elegantly placed it upon her hands. Moments later a knock was heard on the door causing Amanda, Pia, and Raya to stop dead in their tracks. "W h a t a r e y o u d o i n g?" Raya whispered as she stood still upon the steps of the porch.

The door slowly opened revealing a dark abyss inside of the house. Nobody seemed to be on the other side of the door. "Hellooooo? Anybody home??" She yelled into the abyss. Amanda and Raya both worked on pulling Kat away from the door. Despite Kat being the oldest, tallest, and crankiest, she inclined into being dragged by the two girls.

The four of them stood there, paralyzed as they stared into the doorway. All of them were horrified of this mysterious door, except, of course, Kat.

Pia POV-

𝙄-𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙬𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚... 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚, 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮. 𝙈𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙪𝙢𝙗, 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙖𝙨 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙩𝙤. Why can't I look away from the door? Am I scared? Or is this what being paralyzed feels like?

Finally, my leg lifted off of the ground and took a step. 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝. I had stepped toward the door. In the corners of my eyes, I could see each of the girls slowly turn their heads in my direction to see what I was up to. as they each saw me walk toward the door their eyes widened. All the excitement in Kat's eyes seemed to have faded away. She looked terrified. It pained me to see her like that.

I made it. I was standing 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 in front of the door. My mind was screaming. GET AWAY!! ITS DANGEROUS!! GO, RUN!! My body ignored the pathetic attempts of escaping, next thing I knew was that I was suspending into the darkness. 𝘜𝘯𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦...
