A Long Way to Go

Chapter 4- Guest Room

Aiden's P.O.V

We finished eating food, we cleaned the table and then Noah and I stared the movie hunt. We're good at that, it took us about an hour to decide then we finalized the first movie and sat at about 3 pm

We watched about 3 horror movies. It was a trilogy so wasn't that boring! We went for a comedy one when I realized it was 9 and Darc who was sitting next to me quietly leaned back and to my surprise, I hadn't noticed before that Noah and Olivia were sitting next to each other. We watched these short films; nobody had the strength to decide what we would watch or even stop me from putting the films.

Slowly I started feeling dizzy and slept beside Darc with her head on my shoulder

I woke up at about 6 in the morning, I stood and saw the cutest thing I'd ever seen!! Olivia was under his arms and her hands blocked Noah's arms from moving! I wanted to laugh on how cute they were looking and that I was shipping them so bad. That's when I ran to my bag pack quietly and got my Polaroid camera and clicked a picture.

I clicked one of Darc as well, I have this habit of carrying my camera and clicking pictures basically creating memories instantly and just adding the picture to my scrapbook

"I will succeed!" Olivia said sleepily "I will hunt you down"

I said to myself "She dreams wild as well No wonder why she hasn't murdered anyone with a sword yet"
She said again "I am coming for you..."

"Ookay" I sounded scared. I was always scared by her mind Anyways

I bought my laptop and sat next to Darcy who was under the blanket and probably looked the way normal than the other wo dreaming about killing or hunting.

By 6:30 I had completed writing ideas for my video diary. I even saw some editing tutorials to improve. By 7 Noah woke up saying "She hasn't changed" trying to move Livia's hands from himself

I whispered "so have you" and went back to work

Noah finally made it out of the couch and started searching for his book in my bag

"Hey! I told you to keep your stuff with you" I protested "You just forget to keep things and then blame me"

"No, I don't blame you" he said searching my bag

"Okay, I request you no to take out anything else"

"What do you have a love note?" he asked me finding a pink paper with hearts on them he continued "Aid are you serious?"

"What?"

"I wish you don't have photographs of murders still inside"

"I don't, stop checking my stuff"

He as usually didn't listen to me and took out a file full of newspapers

I said

"What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me? You are the one with heart shaped love letters and 'crime' newspapers"

"Those aren't 'crime' Those are incidents were the investigators found supernatural references and stuff"

Looked like he found what he needed. He took out his novel and went upstairs and I was mocking Olivia for being a Potterhead

Noah's P.O.V

I went up to find an open and silent space.

I saw one room to the left and one to the right. I went for the room in the right and saw lavender color on the wall. The room was quite clean, there was a study desk, there were books. That's when I heard a thud and turned suddenly! I was amazed by what I saw next

The wall in that room. It was a memory wall! Full of images, some were labelled "First dance" "First friend" "First car" "First room" "First fight" After reading that one I paused. I realized I was in the pic and it was both of us fighting when we were 6

"I Miss her" I whispered quietly and as I moved out of the room

"You didn't find a better thing to say?" Darcy said

"You didn't find a better way to stay?" Darcy smiled realizing she almost killed me. Yeah 'almost'

I continued taking a deep breath "What are you doing here anyway?"

She said "before we get into what I did. Let's talk about what you were doing inside Olivia's room"

She gave a stare. The girls were pretty good at that

I tried to avoid that question "Soo.. Did you know you look great when you wake up"

"good try; now spill"

"Fine. Just don't tell anyone" She nodded and we started walking in the corridor. I continued; "I meant Livia. Look although we've been these rivals, I still want my friend back"

Darcy started telling me things like I should try to talk to her and when we were talking that's when we heard Aid murmuring and coming upstairs

He said quietly (half- asleep) "I told Noah that those ghosts were real in the Mystic mansion" he said this and while rubbing his eyes he entered the guest room

"That's great right?"

"Ya! I mean, even he knows the way to the guest room too! Why didn't he tell me"

I looked at Darcy and realized she was about to throw me out of the house

She sighed and said "Olivia likes horror stuff, creepy places"

"I am sure she does" I said unless I realized what she meant

"So we head towards our captain" I said proudly

She agreed and we silently went inside the guest room to meet our 'ghostly' captain.
