"Excuse me!" A dark haired woman called out for the teens as she ran up to them. "Would you be interested in a tour of the Sorrel Weed House? A group canceled their tour last minute and now we have some empty spots, if you guys are interested?"
'Ah, papa has took me there before... the shadows that kept following me was weird though.' Atlas thought quietly in his head.
"Wait, REALLY?!" Taylor said excitedly, "This face is supposed to be really haunted! We gotta go!" Her eyes light up.
Tyler shrugged, "sure, I don't care." "I'm in!" Aiden exclaimed.
"Then right this way." The woman said with a smile before leading us to the place.
"Welcome to the Sorrel Weed House!"
"Blab blah blah, blah blah blah." Atlas didn't listen to any of the tour guide's words and decided to scroll through his phone. "Blah blah blah, blah" 'as long as the others are having fun..'
"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! The guide's cellphone rang.
"Ah... I'm so sorry, this is my emergency phone. I have to get this." She stated as she took out her phone from her pocket.
"I'll be right back. Continue looking around if you want but don't touch anything." She walked away.
Tyler sarcastically commented, "Well, that's super professional."
"I-I dont think thats professional..." Logan furrowed his eyebrows, earning a soft laugh from Atlas.
"He's being sarcastic," Atlas said with a smile as he ruffled Logan's hair. "...oh." The shorter male answered.
"Eh. An emergency is an emergency." Taylor shrugged. "It'll be more fun to explore on our own anyway!"
All the seven teens walked inside the haunted house, looking around by themselves.
'Plain-ass picture frame.... an old chair— not gonna lie that's kinda creepy... imagine having that in your room and seeing a ghost sitting on it in the middle of the night— fuck, what am I even thinking?' Atlas thought to himself, letting out a sigh.
"You look bored?" Taylor asked Atlas, feeling worried if the boy is not enjoying the time their group is spending together.
"Ah, my dad already took me here before..." Atlas answered, scratching the back of his head. "But it's fine, really." He smiled.
Taylor nodded, continuing to look around. "Oh, that room looks cool!" She exclaimed. Her eyes wandered to Ashlyn, "You alright, Ashlyn? You look pale."
Ashlyn exhaled. "I'm fine." She lied.
The group went quiet.
Ben suddenly pulled Atlas back by the shirt when Atlas was about to continue walking, as if he's trying to protect the black haired male.
Atlas was confused, "Wha—" He stopped himself as he sees the creature behind Ashlyn. 'That's the same creature I saw back then...'
The room went silent as none of the dared to make any noise. "A-Ashlyn..." Logan said, looking like he's about to piss himself.
"...behind you."
As the shadow grabbed Ashlyn's arm, she turned her body around and fell back with a loud thud. Atlas winced as he sees Ashlyn fell, 'ouch...'
"I-I dont see it anywhere." Logan tried searching for the shadow creature as he looked through his camera.
"What was it?" Taylor trembled.
Aiden smiled, feeling interested because of the thrill. "One of the ghosts, maybe?"
"Are you guys dumb? Ghosts aren't real. This is just some stupid prank." Tyler stated, crossing his arm.
"A prank?"
"Obviously." The Hernandez brother rolled his eyes.
'How sassy...' Atlas hold back a snicker.
"A group conveniently cancels a reservation, and our guide just happens to have an excuse to leave?" The brunette haired boy ranted, "Then, when we're all alone in a 'haunted' house, we have a scary encounter."
"Then immediately after said "scary encounter" the thing just disappears before we can confirm or touch it?" He continued, "Yeah right. This is definitely a set up for some sort of reaction video or to make money. They probably have cameras and a projector set up somewhere."
"Screw you and your idiotic video! For the record, you dont have permission to use our reaction!" Tyler exclaimed angrily to nobody in particular and grabbed his sister's arm, "C'mon Tay. We're going back to the bus."
"A-ah wait..." Logan tries to say as the twin walks away.
"Come on, Logan" Atlas said softly, reaching out his hand for Logan, which the shorter boy accepted.
Atlas looked over, "Aiden, are you comin?" He asks his cousin.
"Yeah! Just a sec." The said cousin said with a smile, earning a nod from Atlas.
Atlas hummed in response before turning back looked at Logan. They continue to walk back together while holding hands.
"You're okay with this, right?" The black haired male asked, not wanting to make the dirty blonde haired male uncomfortable.
"It's okay..! I don't mind, really." Logan smiled, Atlas also smiled back at him.
'Of course I'm NOT okay. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME HOLDING HANDS WITH HIM WHAT THE HELL. WHAT AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO DO??? SAY 'thank you' ?! 'Your hands are bigger than mine'??? OR SHOULD I SAY THAT HIS HANDS ARE SOFT???? WHAT THE HELL.'
Logan continues to panic quietly.
