(Tw: stalking, possessive behavior, and physical touch. Enjoy!)

"I don't know girls, this seems like a bad idea..." I said standing in the doorway of an abandoned house, my friends already standing inside of the dimly lit house.

"Oh come on Isla...Nothing's going to happen, all those rumors about ghosts being in this house are fake." My friend Kaylie said. Kaylie has long black silky hair, and she has bright icy blue eyes.

"Yeah come on Isla, don't be a pushover!" One of my other friends named Lilias said. Lilias is Kaylie's cousin, she has bright blue eyes like Kaylie, however she has nice warm honey brown hair. My last friend, Rona, just nodded in agreement to my friend's comments. Rona has fiery orange hair and emerald green eyes and light freckles dotted across her tanned face.

"Girls, this really feels like a bad idea..." I simply replied as I fidgeted with my golden blonde hair

"Isla, girl, you need to learn to relax a bit. Now come on, let's go in!" Kaylie pushed as she grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the building.

Inside the abandoned house reeked of rotting wood, dust covering the floorboards and the old furniture. An unnatural shadow hung throughout the main room, in the dark shadow I saw them. A pair of dark red eyes glowing in the dark.

"Girls...do you see that? We are being watched." I shakily said with a look of terror on my face.

"Isla chill. There is nothing there, we are not leaving so stop trying." Rona said, she puts a hand on my shoulder in an attempt to comfort me.

We continue walking deeper into the house, the red eyes following our...no my every move. I'm not sure how my friends couldn't see the eyes, they pierced through the darkness in an unnatural way. The deeper we went the more I could feel the eyes watching, the more the eyes watched the more nervous I got.

"Girls..." I started before getting cut off by Kaylie.

"Isla no we are not leaving, someone clearly is hiding something here by making those ghost rumors, we are going to find it" Kaylie cut me off knowing what I was going to say.

We walked up a flight of stairs, the wood creaking under each step. Once we were on the second floor, I saw the red glowing eyes again, they were closer than ever. Whoever the eyes belonged to, I could practically feel it breathing down my back sending a line of goosebumps down my arms. We pushed on farther down the hall, each step the eyes inched closer, each step my heart beat faster.

Kaylie turned around to face the group "Girls, I think we found it..." She said as she turned back around to look at the small desk-like thing at the end of the hall.

We all inched closer to the desk, as I did I felt something grab my wrist. I let out a small squeal as I got pushed into the shadows.

"Girls!" I called out as the shadows surrounded me. My friends don't turn around. My heart starts racing, I can feel the breath of whatever grabbed my arm breathing down my neck. I heard a faint whisper but I couldn't make out what it said.

Rona looks back behind her when she doesn't me behind her. "Isla!?! Girls, where is Isla?" Rona shook Kaylie and Lilias to get their attention.

They quickly turned around and looked for me. The voice of the creature laughed, "The girl you're looking for is mine...She will stay here with me, your friend is Mine!" The voice said in an eerie way, that seemed to echo off the walls. I feel the arms of who grabbed me pulled me closer.

"Give back Isla! She's not yours!" Rona yells back, looking around not entirely sure where or what she was looking at.

"Who...Or what are you?" Lilias asked as she looked to the direction that the voice came from.
