"Okay everyone I'm sure you already know, but I'm going to go over today's schedule one last time. It takes eight hours to get to Savannah. In about four hours, we'll stop to get something to eat. Once we get to Savannah, you and your group will have two hours to eat, go on tours, look at historic monuments, explore the area, goof off, etc. After, we'll meet back up at the bus and head to the motels. Everyone who has a phone has added Mr. Lee's, Mrs. Sarah's, and my number correct?"
"Yes."
"Alright, then let's get this show on the road!" oh thank you, god finally answered my prayers, he stopped talking. Now everyone was sitting in her seat as the brunette girl glared at Aiden, who pushed her out of her seat from next to her sister, forcing her to sit with Ben. Not that it was a bad thing, she just felt more comfortable with her sister. She sat in the window seat, Ben next to her, and poor Logan sitting alone behind them. Infront of them sat Aiden and Ash, who was currently curled up into a ball, being as far away from Aiden as she could.. And infront of them sat the twins, doing god knows what.
Not being interested in anything, and knowing Ben wont talk, she put her headphones on, and leaned her face on the window next to her. She wasnt going to sleep, no, she was never able to fall asleep in a moving vehicle, so she just looked at the landscape. Her mind wandered off, before she felt a small nudge at her side. She looked to her to see Ben pointing at something, and when she looked at what it was, she almost fell out of her seat. It was Aiden, who was almost entirely leaning over his seat, grinning. After she tried to calm her racing heart, she slied her headphones down from her head, and looked back up at the blonde kid.
"You want one?" He asked as he showed her like about 3 different sizes of a rubiks cube. The girl looked at him weirdly, before she shrugged her shoulders and took one. She was never able to solve it, but she decided to fiddle with it a bit. She didnt know how many minutes passed, maybe even a half a hour, and she still couldnt solve it. She was getting pissed, and just really wanted to break the cube.
Ben, next to her, was looking rather amused at the girls short temper. Her fingers were gripping the cube so hard, her knuckles were white, and she was glarring at it like it was a living person.
Before the girl could turn another side, Ben took it out of her hands, and turned towards the girl. The younger sister looked at him confused, before he started turning the sides of it, possibly showing the girl how to do it. Her eyes widened as he solved it almost under two minutes. "Okay, you gotta show me how you did that dude!" She exclaimed rather loudly, which caused some of the students on the bus to look at the two, but she didnt notice. She was too impressed by how Ben did it so easily.
So Ben spent the rest of the bus ride trying to help the girl solve the cube.
'We're finally here!' The brown haired girl shot out of her seat, scaring Ben on the way, who looked like he was half asleep. She walked over to her sister, and waited for her to finish stretching.
CRACK. POP. CRUNCH.
The other studens were either disgusted, or impressed, like Aiden.. But i think only he was impressed.. Anways- "Alright, everyone don't go too far out, make sure to be back here at five, and if anything happens call us immediately!" She decided not to listen anymore, and zoned out as she walked off of the bus with her group.
The group was walking on the sidewalk, trying to decide what to do first. Ben walked at the front of the group, the twins behind him with Logan, then Aiden and Ash. And at the end of the group was the youngest one, who was wearing her headphones. The streets were too loud, and she just wanted to tune it out. Walking with her head down, she didnt see one of the twins stop, and stay back as the others walked past them, he waited for the girl.
Almost bumping into the person because of not looking, she immediately stopped in her tracks and pulled her headphones off, apologizing. "Sorry, I wasn't looking-" She looked up, and her body relaxed. It was Tyler. The brunette raised a brow at the boy, while the others were now a good 10 feet infront of them. "Why are you always listening to music?" The question came too suddenly. Her mouth was agape, before she spoke. "I'm not listening to music right now... It's just on to block out loud noises.." The young girl then started walking again, not wanting to lose the group, and Tyler followed with his hands in his pockets. 'Was that all he wanted? Why did he even ask that-'
The two now started walking faster, trying to catch up to their group. When they finally saw them, they were already walking into a restaurant. Looks like they didnt notice the two were gone?
The group then ate, and went on a tour with a cart?.. too. They visited some historical places, and even got their faces painted. While her sister got music notes on her cheeks, the brunette girl had a flower at the side of her face.
"We have forty minutes left." "Guess we should probably head back in thirty minutes then." They all agreed on the female twins statement, before they started walking again.
"Excuse me!"
The group turned around, their gaze on a short black haired woman. The girl didnt know why, but she started feeling uncomfortable in the womans presence.. "Would you be interested in a tour of the Sorrel Weed House? A group cancelled their tour last minute and now we have some empty spots if you guys are interested?" What?..
"Wait really?" Taylor exclaimed as she turned to look at the group, her eyes shining with excitement. "This place is supposed to be really haunted! We gotta go!" Uh, no thanks missy... She looked around to see what the group wanted. They all looked like they were in, well expect for Ash of course...
Walking into the house behind the group with her sister, she slid on her headphones.
They were everywhere. White lifeless pair of eyes looked at her from every corner of the room. It's good that she had her headphones with her... Otherwise her ears would of had fallen down by now.
'They arent real.'
"Welcome to the Sorrel Weed House! So this is the foyer. Most everything in the house is original with the expection of the furniture and the paint on thw wall." The strange woman explained as the group walked in. No matter how hard the girl tried not to look at the woman, somehow they always made eyecontact. "This is the Francis Sorrel library and the man you see in this portrait is Robert E. Lee. Lee was a dear friend of Francis who visited the Sorrel House quite often. In the winter of 61-62, just before the great war, general Lee used this room as his offic. As far as spooky activity goes, this room seems to be the most calm. Not to say that there isn't any ghostly activity in here, but out of the entire house, I'd say It's milder-"
RING RING RING.
"Ah... I'm so sorry, this is my emergency phone. I have to get this." The girl kept her eyes on the woman who started walking out. "I'll be right back. Continue looking around if you want but don't touch anything." And with that she walked out.
"Well, that's super professional.." Rylee murmured as she continued looking around. "I-I don't think that's professional.." Logan said as Tyler looked at the group, as if asking; Is this kid fr?
"She was being sarcastic."
"Oh.."
Suddenly Taylor spoke up. "Eh an emergency is an emergency. It'll be more fun to explore on our own anyway!" She was excited about it, and Logan was silently hiping her up in the background. Then they began exploring. They explored all kind of different rooms, and saw a lot of old looking furnitures too. Now they were walking along a long and dark hallway, as the two girls were walking at the end of the group.
Her sister next to her stopped, and started taking her earplugs out. "Why is she wearing earplugs?" Tyler asked as this got Aidens attention. "Ah! I thought they were wireless earbuds?!" The blonde exclaimed, as she saw her sister flinch next to her from the loud yell. Seeing that the redhead wasnt going to answer, she slid down her own ones, and looked at the two boys. "She wears them because of her sensitivity to..." A shiver ran down her spine as she saw her sister stiffen next to her. Turning her head to where she was looking her, she saw two, lifeless white eyes looking right back at her. "..sounds."
She shook her head as she made direct eyecontact with the black mass, trying to tell herself that its just her imagination. "That's why she wears earplugs, and why I wear my headphones." She tried calming herself down by not paying attention to the monster, but it was hard while its dead eyes were kept on her. 'They can't see it. They can't see it. It's only you and ash-'
"Oh, that room looks cool!" The girl twin spoke as her eyes went to the two girls, who were standing still, skin pale. "Are you two okay?" As her gaze shifted to her sister, she knew that she was not able to respond right now, so she did. "We're okay, let's continue looking around."
She thought her sister and her were able to leave without the phantom following them, but it was impossible. It was everywhere. In every dark corner, every shadow covered spot. The two girls stayed behind, but stopped when it turned awfully quiet.
The two girls stood next to eachother as they looked up at the group, who were facing them. They looked like someone who saw a ghost...
"Ash.. R-Rylee.." the boy gulped.
"...behind you."
