Stuck

Allyssa stood there, watching the cars go by wondering why she was living in the forest. After five minutes she suddenly remembers going on her way to heaven but was knocked off course. She wondered maybe she was alive. She had thought she was dead but that couldn’t be. One day she wanted to know if she was dead or alive so she stood in the middle of the road. While she was waiting a semi-truck came and she became scared. She stood there screaming for them to notice her. Then within seconds the truck went through her like she was a ghost, she knew she was one. She ran back into the woods. Then climbed up a tree and jumped down. She didn’t feel a thing even when she hit the ground hard. She starts remembering what happened to her. She was out with her mother listening to country music when a car was swerving right in front of them. Her mom tried to swerve out of its way but not fast enough. She remembered she was grabbing something so she was unbuckled. When the cars collided, she screamed as her mom’s car hit a tree. She slammed into the front of the car. Then she remembered looking around and seeing her mother getting out of the car to get help and telling her everything was going to be fine. She remembers smiling at her mom then everything goes black and a light shows up. She thinks it is heaven then, she feels a bump as she gets knocked off course. She gets knocked out for nineteen months. When she had awoke, she had felt no pain at all. Soon she started to forget what her family looked like so she just sat there trying to remember when a boy about her age ran into her. The boy stumbled back and looked terrified. She heard a terrifying roar and became scared. The boy just started mentioning the name cam donedum. She had no idea who or what that is, all she knew was that it was out to get the boy for some reason she did not want to know of. The boy grabbed her hand and told her to follow. She followed him into the scary part of the woods. She didn’t mind as long as she didn’t have to be chased anymore. The farther they got the quieter the roars became. The boy came to a halt suddenly realizing he had saved her life. She was very Thankful but she wasn’t going to say anything till the boy explained himself. After thirty minutes of explaining about how cam donedum was once a child stuck in the same place as they are and she was an angry child so she ran off and lived in a dead mountain chasing children the rest of her life. By the time he finished she was feeling sympathy for the girl.

She knew that something was off about the boy. He just looked odd. Then all of a sudden, he let out a screech. Allyssa was terrified so she ran. She could hear the boy calling for her and she was running faster and faster. She climbed up a tree and hid. She could hear the boy under her calling for her to come out. She said nothing at all since she knew he was going to take her somewhere dangerous.

She heard him go around the tree she was in. He knew she was there but he didn’t know where in the tree she was. She was even more terrified than before. As he walked around and climbed closer and closer to her, she became more and more frightened. When he got very close, she bolted out of the tree and fell hard on the ground. I didn’t hurt her so she didn’t lay there, instead she kept running and running. She could hear the boy chasing her and his screech kept getting higher and higher.

She ran for about an hour before realizing that she hadn’t taken not even a single breath for at least an hour and a half. She thought that since she was half dead and half alive, she didn’t have to breath or run out of breath. She kept running until she got to a tree that had a hole her size.

She hid in the hole till the boy past. The boy ran past the tree maybe 5 minutes later. Then all of a sudden, she was jerked up the tree by a girl. She landed in a treehouse. She became so terrified she couldn’t handle it anymore. She suddenly felt dizzy, she felt ice on her head from when she fell and hit her head hard. Then she passed out on the cold had wood. A few hours later she woke up to a girl trying to wake her up with soup in her hand. The girl smiled at her and asked if she was okay. She was scared of the girl because of what happened with the boy. The girl seen she was scared and told her everything was okay. After a couple of hours Allyssa calmed down and realized she was in a safe place. The girl introduced herself as Camdon and Allyssa introduced herself as well. Camdon also explained that the boy was the beast of the ghost world ( also known as faint world) donedum and he tricks kids into thinking he is a normal kid and then snatches them and gives them an eternity of torture.

After hearing that she hears a different sound. She tells Camdon and she looked surprised and yelled at her to run. Seconds later something came at Camdon. It was the donedum, Allyssa ran as Camdon had said and made a mental note to get revenge on the monster.

She could hear Camdon screaming at her, telling her that the monster was gaining on her. Before she knew what she was doing she was grabbing onto the branch and kicked the monster in the back of the head. The monster fell to the ground unconscious. She helped Camdon up and she thanked her and also yelled at her for putting her life in danger. She also said she had it handled but Allyssa could tell that she didn’t so she just said whatever she could think of.

Two seconds later she realized she had not opened her mouth once. She realized that she could talk to ghost through her mind. She tried to open her mouth to speak and only a little squeal came out. Then ten minutes later she gave up and sat down on a ghost log and talked with Camdon and she also asked why she couldn’t talk and Camdon said she didn’t know so she made it her job to find out why they can’t talk.

Then when night fell she didn’t sleep instead kept moving forward in search of another ghost that she could befriend. At around midnight they came upon a town and then Camdon got all excited and grabbed Allyssa’s arm and ran at a person then she explained that we could haunt people or possess them and live in them. She also explained how if you were in a human for over 2 years you would be stuck in them until the person comes into a place where there worst fear is. She tried it after Camdon showed her and she did it. Allyssa possessed a human and now she could see the person Camdon was in was a little girl and she was also in a little girl and they looked alike. They were in twins. They could hear the mother of these 2 calling for them so they came.

When they see their room, they hated it so they asked the mom if they could change the color to purple instead. The mother looked at them weirdly and said yes. After that they sat and talked and played with dolls. Allyssa suddenly dropped the doll when she realized that she had started playing with the doll without knowing. Camdon told her that since she was in a 5-year old’s body and dolls are a natural thing to play with. Realizing that she ran downstairs and started doing things she knew she wasn’t allowed to do. She didn’t care and she knew what she was doing. Camdon came downstairs and joined her. While their mom was asleep the twins had ice cream on the couch and had a huge mess created when their mom woke up. Then they hid in their room while their mom was looking for them. Then after two weeks of being little kids they left the girls bodies. They left the house and before they left, they heard screaming coming from the little girls then laughter.

When Allyssa was alive, she was a trouble maker and always scaring her siblings. Then she stopped. She had remembered things. Camdon said she would. She was very excited. She was glad she could remember but also a little worried when she heard a branch break behind them. They jerked around to see a kid staring at them. He hid the second he realized that they were looking at him. They could tell that he was still alive and that he could see them. They slowly came up to him and said that it was okay and that they were not going to hurt him. He slowly came up and said that he knew they were dead.

They were shocked that he could see them. “ how can you see us? “ Camdon said.

“ I was born with the power to see the dead “ said the boy. “ well, half-dead.”

The girls were very confused about this statement. Allyssa was even more confused because Camdon could talk and she couldn’t. then the boy ran away “wait!” Camdon yelled

About two hours of searching for the boy they headed off somewhere. Allyssa asked where they were going and she wouldn’t reply. Now she was suspecting that this wasn’t going to be a good surprise. Then all of a sudden Camdon told her that everything was going to be fine and that they would go somewhere safe. Allyssa was relieved to know that. After about a week of walking they came upon a waterfall. Allyssa was confused. Then people started coming out with swords. Allyssa got really scared and asked what was going on and Camdon said that she was the sacrifice. Allyssa freaked out and ran. She could hear Camdon running after her so she climbed up a tree. Camdon yelled at her to get down. She kept saying no each time. She had no idea what happened when all of a sudden someone jumped out at Camdon and yelled at her to leave me alone. Allyssa nearly fell out of the tree when she realized who it was, it was her dead brother and he was helping her. Then all of a sudden, she felt someone pull her out of the tree and run. She realized who it was and planted her feet and began running too. When they came to a stop, she hugged her brother and her brother told her that Camdon was a worshipper of the monsters. Ally went blank when she tried to remember his name Since she hasn’t seen him since she was three. Then all of a sudden it popped into her head, Charlie, she hugged him again and they headed north in hopes of finding safety from the worshippers. Charlie told Ally that he would teach her how to speak when they find shelter. Ally was excited that she could still speak.

Ally agreed and grabbed Charlies hand and they ran for about four hours before stopping. It was getting dark out and they wanted to stop for the night. They stayed up all night with excitement. When morning came, they started walking again. They shared ideas of what they thought their new home would look like. Ally wanted a huge house or old abandoned castle with 3 or more stories. But Charlie wanted something not too big and not too small. They both agreed on one thing, they both wanted to live together in a house and they would be fine with that.

They also agreed that they could live in their own homes as long as it was in the same town and the town had to abandoned. They kept talking about how their houses and how it will be amazing. Ally asked if they could take a break and he could teach her how to speak.

Charlie said all she needed to do was make a sound and she could talk completely. She got very excited after hearing this news and promised herself that every day she would practice trying to speak. That night Ally didn’t sleep at all because she didn’t need it now that she was dead. Instead, while her brother was asleep, she tried to talk. “…” nothing had come out, she was getting very angry so she decided to take a walk. Once she woke her brother up and told him so that he was aware she went on the walk. On the walk she just out of instinct started humming and then she stopped and started freaking out. She was humming. So, she then tried to talk again” hello “ she said. She couldn’t believe it. After staying up all night and practicing to the point of insanity she could talk! She ran back to her brother and started screaming in his ear because she remembered that he was hard to wake up. Charlie jumped up and freaked out.

After calming him down he asked what was so important.” I can talk! Charlie I can talk! OMG I can talk!”

“ really! That’s great now we can talk instead of speaking with our minds. One question?” Charlie said

“ yeah?” Ally replied

“ how did you learn how to speak?” Charlie asked

“ well,” Ally said “you know how back when I was alive, I used to hum all the time whenever I was walking”

“ ye- oh! You just started randomly humming, didn’t you? Out of habit, right?” Charlie said excited that he had figured it out without his sisters help.

“ yep “ Ally said “ well we better get a move on if we want to find a place to stay.” Charlie agreed and they started walking again. As they were walking, they heard a twig break and they immediately spun around to find the boy that was watching her and her Ex- best friend. “ hi you must be the boy I ran into earlier” Ally said. She remembered running into this boy earlier.

“ h-hi I was um….. wondering if I could go with you?” the boy said. He sounded frightened.

“ sure” Ally replied “ but……why are you out here alone? Your still alive right? Where ae your parents?”

“ my….. my parents went missing and I have been looking around for ghosts or real people to take care of me and be my friend. Can I please come with? I…… I promise I will take care of myself! I…… I……I will also find my own food you wont really know I am here and you don’t even have to do anything……… just please……..can you be my friend?” by the end the boy was crying very badly. Ally ran over to him and tried to give him a hug even though she knew she didn’t know how to become solid.

“um….Ally? You’re hugging him! I can’t believe it you must have really wanted to comfort this boy! It took me weeks to learn how to become solid! Um.. one question? What is your name kid?”

“ um.. Levi is my name” Levi said. He was still surprised that Ally had hugged him.

“ well, what the heck are we waiting for lets go!” Ally said

“ Allyssa Michelle Carson! What your mouth” Charlie said. When he finished Levi and Ally looked at him stupidly and started laughing.

“ ok DAD!” Ally and Levi both said at the same time. Then they looked at each other and laughed again. This made Charlie really mad.

“ what do you mean….. oh sorry! I just haven’t seen you in years and I have never heard you say that before and we all know that a three-year old can’t say that! I’m so sorry.” Charlie said realizing that he was treating her like she was still 3.

“ dude- it’s okay we all make mistakes.” Ally said. Ally’s tone helped Charlie calm down. Ally always talks in the smooth sweet tone since she was 2 years old and it always helped everyone calm down.

“ thank miss calm” Charlie said because he knew that when she was 2 she gained the nick name miss calm because she could calm anyone down with just her presence.

“ no problem… well, shall we get going?” Ally said. She looked to Levi and he nodded so they made their way onward. They were walking and they came across a hole in the ground. It was more like a giant hole that they had to walk about half a mile to get around. The boy sighed and agreed that we could go that way.

“ well, this will be hard.” Ally said “ I mean we have to walk all that way”

“ seriously you’re dead and I am alive this is gonna be two times harder for me!” Levi said. He sounded angry. Ally just looked at him and turned around and started walking. “No fair!” Levi said and walked in the direction that Ally was going.

“ kids” Charlie said as he started running to catch up to Levi and Ally “ wait up”.

When he caught up to them he was out of breath and made them stop and take a quick break

“ seriously.” Ally said “come on you barely ran at all”

“ chill out I just get out of breath quicker than you do” Charlie said. You could sense anger coming from the siblings.

“ guys calm down we don’t need you guys arguing” Levi said. By the end of his sentence, they both were taking turns slapping each other. “guys!!”

“what!” they both turned around to face Levi.

“ stop arguing its getting nowhere! Chill out!” by the end he felt a little mad himself but he managed to get both Ally and Charlie to calm down and apologize. The rest of the way they walked in silence. Ally and Charlie both kept arguing but Levi had no idea cause they were using telepathy. Soon they had reached the end of their walk. They managed to get across the hole and got to run through a field after Charlie said they could.

“ tag you’re it!” Ally said as she tagged Levi.

“ what! You could have told me we were playing tag” Levi said as he was chasing Ally around.

“ not too far guys!” Charlie said. He was glad they were getting along and playing. He was also worried that they went too far and those things would get them.

“ we know” they both said as they went back and forth chasing each other. Suddenly Charlie seen something dart across the trees. Soon he recognized what it was.

“ guys get over here now!!” Charlie said. They both stopped and started running towards Charlie.

“ What’s the rush?” they both said

“ monsters are coming for us and we need to go immediately!” Charlie said. By the end of his sentence he looked very freaked out.

“ rea-“ Ally started to say but then turned around and froze. Her brother wasn’t joking there was a monster running towards them.

“let’s go!” Charlie grabbed both of their hands and started running. They had made it into a tree and the monster had went past them.

“ what is that thing?! You must know them cause you were more freaked out than we were and I was seriously about to have a panic attack back there!” Ally said.

“ there goblemasters. Oh, and my name is Norman and I am friend not foe.” Said the boy named Norman. He said coming from the top of the tree.

“hi?” said Charlie. “ how can we trust you and how do we know you’re not a worshipper”

“ well, I know that you know me just don’t remember me” said Norman. “ what do you think bestie?”

“ Nor!!! OH MY GOD its been so long Since I have seen you!!!!” Charlie said. Two seconds later they hugged each other and started talking about all that has happened since the last time they met.

“ and you must be Ally? His little sister, right?” Norman said

“ yep.” Ally said. She was happy that her brother had been reunited with his best friend. They talked for a while.

“ hey Charlie? Can I talk to you for a second?” Norman said. Charlie understood what he meant.

“ sure, guys we will be right back we just need to privately discuss something.” Charlie said to the younger ones.

“ okay we will wait for you out here but don’t take to long.” Ally said and then returned to talking with Levi. Since the younger ones were aware of where they were going they left to the hidden door .

“ do you think they’ll find out?” Norman said. He was very precautious about many things. This was something he was very very cautious about.

“ chill, they won’t find out anytime soon unless we tell them or they walk in on us making out.” Charlie said and then laughed.

“ still, I don’t know.” Norman said. Charlie gave him a hug and kiss.

“ like I said it will be fine.” Charlie said. Ally was getting curious about what they were talking about.

“ what do you think they are talking about?” Ally said.

“ I don’t know” Levi said. They then both agreed to go see what they were talking about. When they opened the door, they seen them kissing.

“ OMG! YOURE GAY!” Ally said. She had a giant smile on her face. “ I knew it!!”

“ why are you guys here!!” Charlie said. he was mad that they had come in here

“ it’s okay we support you” Ally said. She came up and hugged her brother.

“ I’m sorry please don’t be mad!” Norman said. He was up against the corner wall.

“ Norman!! “ Charlie said. He ran over to Norman and hugged him tightly “ nobody is mad at you” he said in a calm tone.

“ yeah we support your choice and we won’t ever judge you because of it” Ally said she came over and joined the hug. She got up after giving Norman a hug and went back over to Levi.

“ Is he okay?” Levi said. He was very worried.

“yeah” Ally said

“ can you guys get out please?” Charlie said. He was still holding Norman.

“ sure” Ally said. She had a loving smile on her face and spoke softly. She and Levi left the room.

“ hey they are gone its okay” Charlie said. “ my sister and our friend wont hurt you and your dad isn’t here, okay” he spoke very sweet and softly.

“ hey um Charlie we have a problem” Levi said. He had a concussion and had a black eye. Then they all heard screaming.

“ what was that!!!!! OMG Ally!!” Charlie said,” are you okay Levi what happened”

“ my dad is here and he’s half-dead” Levi said,” you help Ally and I’ll stay here with Norman”

“ kay” Charlie said. He ran out of the room yelling Allies name.

“ Hey bro how you holding up?” Levi said.

“ Levi? How are you little bro?” Norman said. He realized that Levi was his brother and had calmed down but was still freaked out. He froze. If Levi said his dad was out there then that meant that his dad was out there,” oh no, Charlie, Ally!!!” Levi stood there.

“ why are you freaking out he was just a litt-“ he paused then ran out of the room. He realized that his dad was just an abusive person. “ stop!!!!!” Levi said.

His dad stopped and fell to the floor. When he was on the ground he started crying.” I’m so sorry I have just been a mess without Norman and I thought I lost you too, I’m such a bad father!” the boys ran to their father and helped him up.

“ its okay daddy” Levi said. Then he heard crying and turned to see that Charlie was hugging Ally in a protective way and they were both crying. Levi and Norman ran over to their friends and helped them.

“ babe? Babe! Wake up !!” Norman said. His dad rushed over, “ he won’t wake up dad. He won’t wake up!!!!!!!” by the end of his sentence his dad had token Charlie into one of his arms and held his oldest son with the other.

“ it’s okay he’ll be fine, shhh” the father said in a very calm and soothing tone.

“ okay….. I love you dad” Norman said. His dads eyes lit up and he smiled.

“ w-what h-h-happened?” Charlie said as he woke up.

“ babe!” Norman said. He hugged his boyfriend tightly “ I thought you were dead!”

“ how is your head, I’m really sorry for that I just thought I lost both my sons and It drove me mad” Norman and Levi’s father said. Charlie hugged him and said he forgave him. The rest of the day they rested. It was an amazing day until bedtime. There are only 3 bedrooms. Ally got her own room, Levi and his dad got a room, and Charlie and Norman shared a room. They all went to bed and got up at 8 am.

When they got up Norman made eggs and bacon with hash browns for Ally and Charlie.

“ you guys are like the same person.’ Norman said as he sat down to eat.

“ We are not” they both said at the same time. Ally and Charlie both glared at each other and looked away from each other. When they got their food they glared at each other again.

“I bet I can eat faster than you” Ally said.

“Bring it on” charlie said with confidence that he was going to win. They both then started eating quickly.

“Guys slow down,” norman said with concern. Neither of them paid attention to him.

“ done!!” they both said as they finished their plate of food. They looked at each other again and decided having an eat off didnt work so they decided to call each other names and throw insults

“Guys! Calm down!” norman said, they still ignored him.” GUYS!!!!!” norman yelled. They both finally stopped and Levi came running into the room with panic in his eyes.

“Guys we need to get out of here!!!” Levi said with an urgent tone. He looked like he was severely hurt. Ally ran over to him.

“ what happened to you” Ally said.

“ we need to get out dad has gone nuts and he threw me in the middle of the night, I managed to lock him in our room but-“ Levi was stopped mid sentence by a loud bang and something breaking. “ guys he just got out he’s going to kill us if we don’t get out of here.

They all ran out of the tree house and started running in a random direction with their dad chasing them. “ where are we going to go?” Norman said.

“ we will figure it out but for now we need to run.” Levi said. They knew that their dad was alive and would run out of breath so they could stop eventually and find a tree or something to hide in.

They kept running for a while until they couldn’t hear the dad’s running footsteps. When they finally stopped they were at an abandoned looking house.

“ where are we?” Ally said with confusion on her face.

“ I don’t know. I don’t think that its safe to stay.” Norman said. Charlie nodded his head in agreement so they kept going. They walked around for about ten minutes before coming to an abandoned town. Ally and Levi immediately ran to an abandoned car and pretended to be able to drive.

“Guys! What are you doing that’s dangerous!” Charlie yelled as he ran over to them. They got out of the car and gave mean faces to Charlie and ran back over to Norman.

They walked through the town looking for a place that’s nice looking. They couldn’t find any so they kept walking and soon they were in the middle of nowhere and no one knew where they were going.

“Where are we?” Levi asked. He looked around. Then looked at his brother for an answer.

“ what? How should I know where we are, I’ve just been going the opposite direction we came from.” Norman said. He looked kind of worried. Levi came over and hugged his brother to help him calm down and not worrry as much. They kept walking until they heard something behind them and they all spun around quickly.

“ hi. I’m Alice and I’m 16, and I’m guessing you’re all like me half dead half alive except for the little boy.” The girl said. As soon as she knew they heard her she jumped out from a bush. She talked very fast. She was a half-dead just like them.

“ hi Alice would you like to join us on our search.” Norman said. She nodded and joined them and she was looking around every 2 seconds and Ally grew curious of what she was doing.

“ um….. Alice, what are you doing?” Ally said.

“ looking.”

“ for what?”

“ monsters”

“Why?”

“ because I have been targeted by monsters for a couple of months now.” Alice said. She was still looking around for them. They started walking again and soon they were all looking. Soon it got dark out and Levi was getting tired so we all took a stop so he could sleep until sunrise.

Levi was the first to fall asleep and he fell asleep next to Ally. Norman and Charlie slept next to each other. Ally and Alice stayed awake. Ally stayed up to watch Alice and Alice stayed up to watch out for monsters.

“ watcha looking for?” Ally asked. Alice gave her a quick look and went back to what she was doing. Ally figured she didn’t want to be bothered and tried to sleep even though it was impossible for her to be tired.

“ Everyone up now!!!! Monsters!!” Alice yelled. Everyone woke up looking surprised.

“What do you mean?” Levi said. He was still tired. Then his eyes grew wide. They all got up and started panicking.

“ okay guys!! Follow me.” Norman said. Everyone ran after him and we found some trees to climb. We climbed up them and waited until the monsters left. We all heard a thud and looked over to where it was.

“Uhm… Alice what are you doing?” Ally said. When she looked over Alice was on the ground but she was smiling. “ hey guys there’s something wrong with Alice.” Ally said.

“ you think.” Charlie said. He hopped down from the tree and helped her up.

“ yeah i just fell down. I’ll be fine though it’s nothing to worry about.” Alice said. We all gave her a look and she put her hands in the air like she had no clue what was going on. Ally laughed and hopped down. “ At least I know how to land in style. Unlike you, I bet you fall on your bottom.” That made Ally laugh.

Ally climbed up a tree and went to the edge of a branch. “ fall on my bottom huh? Let’s find out.” Ally said. She jumped down and landed on her feet. Alice looked at her and tried to blame it on her being dead. Levi tried it and landed on his bottom.

Ally walked up to Alice and stuck out her tounge. Alice chased after Ally and everyone laughed. Soon Alice stopped chasing Ally and they started laughing too. They all stopped laughing after about 7 minutes. Then, they all heard a huge roar.

“ what was that? That sounded li-“ Norman said. He suddenly stopped. He turned around, “ run please.” He said. He passed out, Charlie and Alice ran to help him and Ally and Levi found a way to go and Charlie carried Norman and they ran away from the sound. Right into the trap, they all were stopped by the weird monster people.

“ the shashona….” Alice said. Ally knew what she meant. That was the monster people group name. The shashona moved out of the way and Camdon walked up. Ally’s eyes went wide. There was no way she was their leader I mean, she saved Ally.

“ I already told you, just because I can see the dead doesn’t mean i want to join you and your idiot group.” Alice said. Camdon walked right up to Ally.

“I’m not here for Alice, I’m here for what you stole from me revenger.” Camdon said. She was looking right at Ally.

“I won’t let you get my sister.” Charlie said. He grabbed Ally and pulled her away from Camdon but wasn’t fast enough. Camdon grabbed Ally two seconds before Charlie could and took off with her.

Charlie handed Norman to Alice and was about to dart after Camdon when her group surrounded them and decided to bring them back to their hideout. Everyone put up a fight but lost in the end. They were taken to their dungeon in the basement of their hideout.

“ where is my SISTER!” Charlie yelled. One of the people pushed him into a cell with Norman and Levi. They put Alice in a different cell.

“Alice! Are you ok?!” Levi yelled across the room.

“Yeah! What about you guys? Y’all okay. I’m sorry!”Alice yelled. She started crying and Charlie didn’t know what she was sorry for.

“What do you mean? It’s not your fault!” Charlie yelled.

“ yes it is! If I had never joined y’all this never would’ve happened!” Alice yelled back. Both of the boys kept telling her it wasn’t her fault but she kept saying things to make her seem guilty. No one thought it was her fault.

“Let me go!” They heard a loud yell. Ally, and she was ok. Charlie was relieved but also terrified. He knew what they were capable of. They could hear Camdon tell her to come with her. Then, they heard a door open.

Ally and Camdon walked in and Camdon pushed Ally into the same room as Alice. “ if you all behave you will be allowed to roam the building but may not leave. You will have amazing rooms and if you join us you may go wherever you like just have to return. How does that sound?” Camdon said. He knew what it was like here. Yes, the rooms were amazing but everyone hated each other.

“ never.” Charlie said. He was extremely mad. The others agreed with him. Camdon looked mad but walked away. The door slammed shut and Charlie walked over to Norman.

“ what.” Norman said. You could tell he was mad but was trying not to show it. Charlie hugged Norman and he started to cry. Charlie waited until he was done crying before he explained what to do.

“ okay, we are going to get out of here we just have to play along with everything they say. Before you get mad listen to this. If we get access to outside we can run and we will all be safe.” Charlie said. Norman and Levi looked at him with shocked faces.

“Hello, is anybody gonna tell us how we get out of here. Us girls are here to ya’ know.” Alice said. Ally started laughing and Alice started yelling at her.

“Charlie said we are gonna do everything they say so we can get access to the outside. Then, we run away and we can all have fun again.” Levi said. The girls went silent. Ally stopped laughing and Alice stopped yelling.

“Are you insane! Obviously you’ve lost you’re mind if you think she will allow that!” Ally yelled. She was extremely mad and you could tell. Suddenly the door came open and a random person came in.

“Camdon says to let you kids go. Word of advice you kiddos better make it out of here. You’re lucky it was me who heard you.” The guy says. Everyone nods and he walks over to each room and unlocks the doors.

“Hey mark. This is Mark everyone he’s an old friend that helped me escape this place a couple years back.” Charlie said. Mark helped them all out of the basement and to their rooms. Everyone was amazed at how huge the place was. There were chandeliers and double stair cases. It was amazing.

Then Camdon walked in.

Camdon was obviously mad about something. She had two people right behind her. She was yelling orders at them then walked up to us. She stopped to take a breath. She immediately changed her look. She was smiling and walking slowly and calmly.

“Hello i hope you can enjoy your time here. I decided to be nice and go ahead and let you roam the house. We’ll have the best time. Boys are allowed to have sleepover with boys and same with girls.” Camdon says.

“Will we still be able to see each other?” Ally asked. Her voice getting a little higher. She was starting to panic and everyone could tell.

“Boys will be in one side of the house and girls will be on the other side of the house so probably not”Camdon said. Ally started to protest but guards dragged her and Alice to a different part of the house.

“What is your problem?” Charlie said. He was mad that he couldn’t see his sister.

“You can see each other when you go on missions together. I suggest you straighten up if you ever want to see Ally or Alice next month.” Camdon said. She turned around and walked in the direction of the girls side of the house.

Two guards led them to their side. The guards told then that where they were was the meet-up center and people only go there to leave on missions or to come back. They were led to three rooms. They got to pick which one they wanted to have.

Levi choose the middle room. Charlie chose the one on the right. The closest one to the girls side. Norman wanted to stay with one of the two but it wasn’t allowed. He decided to pick the one on the left. They all walked in their rooms and were surprised at how big they were. The rooms had king size beds and amazing lighting. There was a golden cabinet with books on shelves.

“Sir please follow me to have you measured for your clothing.” The guard in Levi’s room said.

“Please just call me Levi. I don’t like the name ‘sir’.” Levi said. The guard nodded and they walked out of the room. They were on their way to the measuring room and they heard yelling. The guard ran over too see what it was. A group of people were protesting and demanding that they get to leave.

The guard managed to get Levi out of there without a single word to anyone. They were silent the entire way there. They stopped at a giant door and inside were a bunch out things that Levi had never seen before.

“Si- sorry Levi please step inside. Do not touch anything and someone will be here shortly.” The guard said. He shut the door and left. Levi was alone in the room and even though he was told not to touch anything he ran up to a suit. He grabbed it and tried it on. Suddenly the door opened and someone walked in.

“ and what are you doing boy?” The lady said. She laughed and walked over to Levi, “ like the suit huh?” She said. Levi nodded and she brought out another suit, “then lets try this one too.”

“Okay!” Levi said. He was excited to try on another suit. He put it on and when he left the dressing room the lady clapped

“You look amazing boy. I think we found the perfect outfits for you today. I’m Maria and you can come by any day to hang out or get outfits. I will see you in two days.” Maria said. Levi hugged her and took his suits and left the room.

He had to ask one of the people how to get back to his room. They led him to his room. He walked in then decided to see his brother. He walked out of his room and knocked on his brothers door. No one answered. He was worried because he knew he was the only one who left his room.

“Norman?” Levi asked. He opened the door to see a movie playing and Norman asleep with Charlie. He smiled but he soon got jealous. He climbed onto the bed with the two older boys. Norman woke up when he got onto the bed.

“Hey what’s up?” Norman asked.

“I wanted to see you but you were asleep so i thought I’d sleep with you.” Levi said.

“Of course you can come on.” Norman said. Levi climbed in between the two and fell asleep with his brother holding him.

2 hours later Charlie woke up and found Levi in front of him. He just smiled and woke Levi and Norman up. “Come on sleepy heads we’ve been asleep for two hours. Time to get up.” Charlie said. They both looked at him angrily and went back to sleep, “okay then you asked for it.” Charlie said.

“What are yo-“ Levi couldn’t get a sentence out before Charlie started tickling him. Norman got up when Levi started laughing. When he seen what was going on he joined in. They soon stopped so they could get ready for dinner. Everyone left to their rooms.

Back with the girls was chaos. They had gotten into a fight with someone when they were bullying a little kid.

“Leave the kid alone idiot! What did he ever do to you!” Alice yelled angrily. They all knew they couldn’t get hurt there so the girl decided to use words that caused the kid to cry.

“I can do what i want! Besides! He is in the girls side when he should be in the boys side! Oh yeah.” The bully said. She paused with a grin on her face. The boys eyes went wide. He was terrified, “ this isn’t a boy really. He is just a trans freak!” The bully said. That did it.

Ally charged at the girl and the girl was actually hurt. She was a living person. Ally had to be pulled off of her by Alice. “Don’t you ever say that to someone again got it!” Ally said.

“Okay! Sorry!” The girl said. Ally turned and walked over to the boy.

“Are you okay? I’ll talk to Camdon and see if she will let you stay on the boys side okay?” Ally said. The boys eyes lit up. He smiled and hugged Ally.

“Thank you.” The boy said. She nodded. She talked to the boy for a while then decided to talk to Camdon. She and Alice walked over to Camdon and Ally tapped her shoulder.

“What do you mean someone brought HIM to the girls side!” She yelled at the girl she was talking to. She didn’t seem to notice that the girls had tapped her shoulder.

“Well he wasn’t born a male so we can’t put him on the boys side.” The random girl whispered. Her voice was quiet and she looked terrified.

“Ugh- I don’t care I don’t want a boy on our side. I don’t care if he was born a guy or not, i hate them all the same!” Camdon said. This did it. Alice burst out laughing and Ally did too. “What’s so funny. Oh- don’t tell me you gonna call him she too.” Camdon sighed.

“No-no. You’re right he should be on the boys side but when you said you’d hate him the same. I couldn’t.” Alice said. Then Camdon laughed. She walked over to the little boy said something the girls couldn’t hear and walked away. The boy ran to the boys side and got a snack. Ally and Alice smiled when the boy waved a them.

“Thank you!” The boy yelled across the room. They waved and left the dining hall. They both started walking to their rooms talking along the way.

“We should have a sleepover.” Alice said. There were some things that she wanted to talk to Ally about that couldn't wait. Ally nodded her head and they both headed towards Alice’s room. When they got there Alice was extremely nervous.

“You okay?” Ally asked. She noticed that Alice was nervous.

“Uhm.. yeah.” Alice quickly replied. Alice opened the door and stepped inside. Ally walked in and sat on her bed. All of a sudden they heard a loud bang in the bathroom and someone cursing. Camdon walked out.

“Oh hey. Sorry I used your bathroom my room is under construction.” Camdon said.

“It’s fine” Alice said relieved. She thought it was the girl from earlier coming to hurt her. Camdon sat on Alice's bed. “Okay… I Need to tell you something Ally.. actually you can stay too.” Alice said as Camdon started walking out.

“Okay. If this is about you being a lesbian I already know. I mean- it’s kinda obvious. Also, i know you like me Ally and yes I like you too.” Camdon said. Everyone was silent. She had ruined the surprise for both of them.

“I was going to tell you guys that but you had to ruin it.” Alice says as a joke. Camdon starts to laugh.

“Camdon I need to talk to you alone please.” Ally said. She look mad. Beyond mad. Camdon looked hurt but nodded. They made their way out of the room. Alice felt bad for Camdon she just confessed and it looks like she’s going to get turned down.

Ally leads Camdon around a corner to talk to her. “Did you mean it? Do you really like me because I can’t tell if you’re lying or not?” Ally whispers. She looks like she is about to cry. Camdon nods and Ally hugs her and starts cry. “Thank you.” Ally whispers.

Soon they head back to the room and Alice keeps pushing to know what happened but they just tell her they’re both going to bed. They bot decide to go to Ally’s room.

They soon fall asleep and Alice walks in to spy on them. “Aww little love birds.” She quietly whispers. She closes the door and heads back to her room and falls asleep. The boys are the opposite.

“Give me the darn flashlight Charlie!” Levi yelled. They were telling scary stories and the older boys decided to turn off the light to scare the younger one. “Guys..” Levi whispered. They did this once before but gave it back soon. Then he got scared and decided to take the blanket off his head.

He screamed.

He found his brother and Charlie but no the way he hoped. He was terrified they both were possessed and their bodies twisted weirdly. He ran to the only people he knew.

“Open up!! You have to let me in Ally!!” Levi screamed as he pounded on the door. The door flung open and Camdon was there. “Her brother and my brother are possessed and gone… long gone.” Levi whispered. Camdon pulled him into a tight hug and let him in. She woke up Ally and told her the news. She was crying too and soon Alice walked in and was informed. They were all crying and scared.

They heard the alarm sound. They decided to leave the room to see what was going on. Everyone was running around freaking out. Everyone had found out about their brothers and what happened to them. They had to get out of there and quick.

They all left the hall way they were in and as they had rounded the corner they seen the two boys. They started running at them and the girls and levi ran in the opposite direction.

“Where do we go, we have to get away from them and quick.” Levi hurriedly said. They all agreed and kept running. They made many turns. They stopped abruptly and realized that they almost ran into a wall.

“Step back.” Camdon said. Everyone stepped back and watched. She quickly typed in some numbers and a secret door opened. They all ran inside and Camdon shut and locked the door behind them. They ran down the secrets hallways. The walls were covered in dirt and mud. Nobody really seemed to pay attention to the walls, they just wanted to get out. They soon reached a stairwell.

“Is this the exit? Where does it lead to?” Alice asked Camdon.

“The garden, we need to go quick, see that blinking red light,” Camdon said. She pointed to the blinking red light on the ceiling, “that means someone broke into the room and I don't think it was a normal human.” She whispered. They all ran up the stairs in a hurry. Camdon quickly locked the door behind her.

She lead them all through the garden and out of the back doors. “Okay, where do we go now?” Ally said. Camdon shrugged.

“Well, we dont know where to go. We are in trouble. We quickly need to fi—“ Levi was interrupted when someone yelled.

“Guys!! Wait for us!!” Norman and Charlie came running at them. Everyone was silent from shock, “what’s going on. I thought we were having a sleepover lil’ bro? Can someone explain why we just blacked out for a second and now were here?” Norman said with confusion. Ally ran up to hug her brother. Charlie was confused but hugged her back.

They all walked through the forest and found a spot to sit down. The girls and Levi explained what had happened and they looked terrified. “Okay, but now were back to normal so can we just act like nothing happened?” Charlie said. He was holding Norman because he was shaking. Levi walked over to Norman and hugged him.

After ten whole minutes of reassuring the two older boys that they never harmed their siblings, they continued walking. They were walking until Alice and Levi started complaining that they needed to rest. They sat down and Levi grabbed something from his backpack. Food he had apparently grabbed before he came to the girls’s room. Him and Alice ate a sandwich each and both found a place to sleep. Alice slept on a log and Levi fell asleep on his brother. Camdon and Ally went on a walk. Norman and Charlie were close behind so Charlie could watch over his sister. They hadn’t been told that the two girls were dating, they had figured it out themselves.

They all walked around until sunrise and made their way back to where Levi and Alice were sleeping. Levi woke up raging mad that his brother had walked off while he was using him as a pillow. “ now my back is hurting.” Levi yelled. Everyone started laughing at him.

“Guys, where’s Alice?” Ally said. They all started searching for her. They suddenly heard a scream. They all recognized it as Alice’s and ran towards the scream.

“Guys!!! Get me down from up here!!!!” Alice yelled at the bunch staring up at her from the ground. They quickly went to help her. After they got her down she explained everything that happened to her. Apparently she had been kidnapped by a bunch of people and had been burned. She showed everyone the burn mark. She had been tied up there to be tortured but someone came in and stopped them.

“Oh, my, god, you couldn’t mean…. What was he wearing! Was he in all white! Did you get a name! Did he ever mention anyone to you” Charlie said. He looked terrified.

“Uhm.. he mentioned someone named revenged and that he was looking for him. He also said some numbers. I think they were 28954761.” Alice said.

As soon as she finished her sentence Charlie was up and running into the woods. Everyone followed after him. He stopped abruptly. There was a boy who looked his age standing in front of him. When the boy looked over he ran towards Charlie and hugged him.

“Charlie!! Oh, sorry do these people know your Charlie?” The boy said. Charlie nodded and hugged him.

“Guys this is Collector. His real name is Alex. I was the guy he mention, revenged, yeah that’s me. We were set on stopping your group you had going, Camdon, with the monster worshiping. I know you’ve changed so i don’t hate you for it.” Charlie said. Alice walked up to Collector and hugged him and thanked him for saving her.

Everyone got to know Alex and was more calm than before. Soon they were telling jokes about the past and laughing. Alex showed them where he was staying and let them all stay with him.

They all were talking and having fun and didn’t realize Alex’s real intentions. They talked for a while and Alex showed them where the guest rooms were. Charlie, Norman, and Levi would share a room and Alice, Ally, and Camdon would share a room. When it was time to go to bed Ally seemed uncomfortable.

“Hey are you okay?” Charlie said. Ally nodded her head to tell him she was okay but Charlie knew something was wrong. “Are you sure? You know you can tell me anything right?”

“No i can’t! I cant tell you everything! What do you want me to say! Oh! Hey my brother Charlie how everything doing, did you know that I’m uncomfortable because I’m non-binary! No! Not how that works!” Ally screamed. The room was silent. Everyone was speechless. Suddenly there was a scream and Ally blacked out.

When Ally woke up they looked around and realized they weren’t in Alex’s house. Everyone came in and explained what happened. Apparently when Ally came out as non-binary Alex flipped out and attacked them with a kitchen knife. Ally looked at their stomach and seen the wound.

“Hey… can i talk to Ally alone please?” Camdon said. Ally suddenly froze. They hadn’t realized that Camden might want to break up with them.

“Okay we’ll leave you two alone for now. Ten minutes, that’s it.”Charlie said. Then everyone left the room except for Camdon.

“So what exactly are your pronouns?” Camdon asked. Ally started to cry and Camdon figured out exactly what Ally thought. “Oh… no i would never leave you because you’re non-binary. That would be wrong. Yeah, im a lesbian. But if you wanted to be a guy it would be a different story you know.” Ally laughed at that. Camdon was holding their hand.

“So…. Keep or changing the name. If you change it you gotta make it jack or something awesome like that.” Charlie said as he came in. It had only been about 5 minutes and everyone was already coming in.

“I was thinking Alex but now I don’t know.” Ally said. Charlie looked beyond mad.

“I swear ill beat that man to a pulp. You change you name to whatever the hell you want! If its Alex you want its Alex you’ll get. Don’t change your name because of that jerk.” Charlie yelled. Everyone started laughing.

“Okay. Okay. Alex it is. But omg that was hilarious. The way you said that was the best.” Alex said and continued laughing. After everyone was done laughing they all talked about stuff they were planning on doing.

When the doctor came in he said that Alex could leave whenever they wanted to. Everyone decided to wait at least three days before they could leave. The three days passed quickly. There was always someone in the room during visiting hours and they were always on call with Camdon at night.

“So, now you can leave? I want to go to a playground.”Levi said. Alex laughed and told him they could leave today.

“I just have to ask my doctor”Alex said.

“Awesome! Ill go get him!”Camdon said.

“Ok!” Alex said. They’re excited to leave the nightmare hospital with terrible food. The doctor let them out.

“I’m glad you can leave this place. It sucks how run down ghost hospitals are.” Levi said.

“Well we can only really use stuff either torn down by the living or out of use.” ALex said. Levi just shrugged and kept walking with them to the lobby.

They met up with Charlie, Alice, and Norman. “ hey, also since Alex came out i might as well. I’m a Demi-girl and use She/They.”Camdon said.

“I’m perfectly fine with it considering im Transgender, Female to Male.” Norman said.

Charlie looked mad because apparently he hadn’t been told about this either. “Can we get ice cream now. Think of it as a coming out party.” Levi said.

“Are you just using this as a chance to get ice cream?”Norman said.

“Maybe.” Levi said. Norman laughed and agreed to ice cream. They had to posses a couple of teens so most of them could actually enjoy the ice cream. They all ordered their ice cream and paid using the teenagers money. Everyone was looking at the group weirdly. But that makes sense because they all looked like they were from California. Alex loved the outfit they had on. It was a crop top with strawberries on it and jeans.
