The Skyline pulled up to the small house in the clearing in New Hampshire. 

"This is it," Caleb announced as he turned off the car.

We unpacked the car, and I looked up at the small, seemingly harmless house. 

This is what my mom was warning me about?!?

A small harmless house in a clearing in a small forest near a cute little town?!!

WTF!!!!!!

As we walked inside, I breathed in the sweet scent of pine and wood. Ahhh.... so nice. It was going to be impossible to NOT have a good time here.

Caleb came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"How about we find the bedroom?" he murmered in my ear.

I rolled my eyes. "Geez, let me unpack," I said,faking distress.

Caleb gave me a long lingering kiss.

That night, I turned to Caleb to wake him up, only to find out I didn't need to. 

"Did you hear it too?" he asked me.

Shakily, I nodded. 

Yes, I had heard something.

A noise rising up from the ground.

A pulse.
