Caroline Ophelia Deamonne

"OooOoo" Puck says making his voice shake like a ghost as we walk through the woods with our back packs. 

"Shut up Puck" Alana says, slapping his arm as our group walks through the woods. 

There was twelve of us all together, six guys, six girls.   There was Eve, Elise , Simone, Whitney, Alana and me for the girls, and the guys were Lars...who was dating Elise. Puck, who was dating Alana. Heath who was single. The Devis Twins, Preston and Duncan. Both single, Duncan NEWLY single from Simone, who was up ahead avoiding Duncan. And Corbin who was sandwiching me between him and Duncan as we walked towards our destination. 

We all love scary shit, some of us more than others.  Preston, Duncan, Simone, Whitney and Alana are all really, really into some dark shit that I try to avoid. I just like scary movies, and being scared. I don't enjoy fucking with spirits or attempting dark magic or any of that other shit, and I kept my mouth shut when they told me they had done an actual sacrifice with an animal. I didn't ask what kind of animal, because I didn't want to know. I didnt like the idea of it. 

We were currently a few towns over from where we all lived, and hiking into the woods, to an old abandoned house, that's apparently haunted. We all decided being that Halloween was coming, we would spend the night in haunted places. Yes, we were trespassing, but nobody was ever out here, except for people our age or younger, who came out here to graffiti the house and vandalize it. 

"You scared Ophelia?" Duncan asks quietly, they all call me by my middle name, because I hate the name Caroline.  I look up from the ground where I'm watching my feet crunch over sticks and dry leaves. I give a little smile. 

"terrified." I say sarcastically and he gives me a little smile. 

Duncan and Simone had recently broken up a few weeks ago. Well, he'd broken up with her, and well, it was putting a little strain on our group, because Simone wasn't taking it well. 

"Don't worry, I'll protect you" he whispers and feel my cheeks flush as I roll my eyes and look back down at the ground and notice Corbin watching us from the side, but I don't look up to look at him. 

I know we're getting close as I step over trash, empty beer cans, plastic cups, and glass bottles. I fucking hated littering, and told myself before we left tomorrow, I'd clean some of it up. 

Up ahead Puck continues to make noises, trying to scare us, but nobody is scared. There's too many of us together, and we've been in the woods too many times, and done a lot of creepy shit together.  There was still the fear though, that was tucked deep inside, at least for me. The what if questions that race in my brain. 

What if there's a murderer in the trees? What if there's a murderer in the house?

What if the house really is haunted and demons and spirits do exist and none of us leave the house alive?

Yes, these idea's that my mind batted around were mostly far fetched, but it didn't stop the way the thoughts made me shiver with fear, and excitement, and adrenaline. I got off on being scared. It'd always had made that part of me come alive, I don't know what it was. Being scared made me horny as shit, and I was too embarrassed to ask my therapist what the fuck that meant about me. 

"I heard there's guys in town that bring girls on 'hikes' here to the house,  to rape them." Duncan says. 

That makes my steps stumble. 

"What?" I ask. 

"Don't say that" Eve hisses over her shoulder at Duncan as the girls all cringe. 

"I'm serious...Puck you read that paper" Duncan says and my eyes shoot ahead to the flash light Puck's holding and I see Alana look at him and he shrugs. 

"Yeah, I read it." he says without saying anything else and I shiver. 

"Did you guys really read that in a paper or are you bullshitting to scare us?" I whisper to Duncan. 

"Wish I was bullshitting, but it's true" he says and looks at me. 

"Don't worry though, it was years back, no reports about it since." he says and I shiver again and he looks up at me. 

"I'll kill them if they show up." he says and gives me a wink in the dark. 

I always felt awful for how I felt around Duncan. Him AND his twin brother Preston were two of the hottest guys I'd ever known. Everyone in our group was ridiculously attractive, which only made sense that some of us were dating, or had dated. But I'd never dated in our group. 

"You scared now Ophelia?" he asks as Corbin walks a bit further ahead as me and Duncan trail only slightly behind the group.

"Maybe a little" I say quietly and look at him and he smiles. 

"You're cute when you get scared." he says and I roll my eyes. 

"Don't say that." I say as I keep walking.

"Why not, it's true" he says as he moves his steps closer to mine.

"Because, you know why" I say without even looking up. 

"Because of Simone?" he asks quietly and I nod and look at him. 

He gives me a little grin. 

"We broke up." he says.

"And she's my friend" I hiss under my breath. 

"Whatever, you're still cute when you're scared...and when you're not" he says, clearly flirting and I hate the way my entire body heats under his flirtatious gaze. 

I shake my head and sigh and keep walking forward. "Whatever." 

He gives a little chuckle.

"You can sleep next to me tonight if you want Ophelia...I'll keep you nice and safe" he says and I give him another look. 

"Knock it off" I whisper and he chuckles. 

"why? you scared you might like it too much?" he teases quietly and I huff and look at him. 

"I swear to god" I mutter.

"We can share a sleeping bag" he says. 

"Duncan!" I whisper yell and he chuckles. 

"Shit this looks fucking cool" I hear Puck say from up ahead and I turn my head from Duncan's flirting and look up and my breath hitches and blood runs cold as I stare at the three story house.  It's larger than I'd expected and looks like a god damn mansion. 

"Damn" Duncan says beside me as we stop and look at the house.  There's graffiti everywhere, and only the windows on the top floor are still there, the rest of them busted out or broken, the front door is half way open, and the railing of the porch is leaning forward, clearly loose, and the steps up to the porch and into the house are slanted sideways and the bottom one broken in the middle.  There's several pentagrams spray painted on the exterior, and the numbers 666, curse words, and peoples names. I flinch when I see the words "Rape House" spray painted over the door. 

"Jesus" I mutter and suddenly, for the first time, want to back out. But also, know I wont trek back through the woods alone. I'm only okay in groups in the dark. Alone, I'd probably have a panic attack and pass out. 

"This is fucking awesome" Heath says, who is Puck's brother and two years younger than him. 

I stand there at the clearing as the rest of the group starts to walk towards it and Duncan stands with me. 

"You good Ophelia?" he asks and I nod silently. 

"Turning me on to see you standing there all scared" he says and I jerk my head to him and glare and he laughs. 

"You seriously need to stop" I tell him as I take a step forward.

"Make me" he says and I give a sigh and shake my head as he follows me with a laugh.
