"We're gonna end up being the main characters in the horror movies that end up dying first!" Ranboo hissed,

"at least we'd get some screen time" I joked, peering down the dusted 'cellar' stairs.

"We should get Ollie—Ollie seems the one to not die first in a movie" Ranboo widened his eyes at the darkness.

"we're actually gonna show Ollie the lake?" I smile, excitement reaching my mind even more, "For real?"

"If you want..." Ranboo trailed off, shuddering at the horror movie scene before us, "I swear to god, Vee if there's any dead bodies down there I'm going to run, very far away."

"Let's get Ollie then!" I suggested.

"Okay, but she has to die first so we have time to escape." Ranboo joked, joining I on the walk back to Ollie's.

"Is this a Scooby-squad moment?" Ollie hummed as we pulled her through the forest, "Are we defeating mystery?"

"No, we're sacrificing you to the dead-bodies-cellar." Ranboo threatened,

"But we'd fit the Scooby-squad so well!" Ollie pushed, "Vee's definitely Daphne, Ranboo would be Fred, Iris would be Velma, I'll be Shaggy since I'm the stoner, And Big Q would be Scooby—the talking dog."

"Why am I Fred?" Ranboo questioned, approaching the lake.

"You're tall—also a James Potter Kinnie."

"I never said I kinned James Potter!" He exasperated, "Why would I kin James Potter?"

"I dunno, it fits." She retorted, glancing at the autumn strewn pond, "woah—this is pretty."

I forgot this was the first time Ollie had ever seen our spot.

"it is." I affirmed, "Anyways, we found a—cellar of sorts."

"A—cellar?" Ollie raised an eyebrow at that, "Like—where dead bodies are?"

"exactly!" Ranboo interrupted, "See! Cellars are for dead bodies!"

"I thought there was like—wine—in cellars." I mentioned.

"ooh, free alcohol?" Ollie grinned, "count me in."

"its right over here" I point to the vined wall, and Ranboo recoiled at the dark stairway.

"Remember when we watched Fear street together?" Ollie turned to the both of us, "and they went down those stairs—that ended up being Sarah Fier's house?"

"yeah..." I nodded slowly at the resemblance, "are you saying this is a witches house?"

"possibly." She shrugged, starting to walk down the stairs, "Or could be a cellar of dead bodies like Ranboo said."

"See! Ollie believes me!" Ranboo pointed out, "—why are you going down there..."

"why not?" She laughed, "If it gives me more trauma, I'll have something to talk to my therapist about."

"This is not a healthy coping mechanism." Ranboo grumbled as I followed Ollie into the 'dead-body-cellar'.

"Why are you both going down there?!" Ranboo gasped, "I'm gonna die alone up here!"
