The Haunted House

By: Steven



Part One Starring: Krissy Carlson as Amy Nielsen; Cristi Ellen Harris as Emily Davis; David Matthiessen as Leo Deschanel; Randy Spelling as Sean Richards

During the Halloween party at the Shock Wave, Amy Nielsen, Leo Deschanel, Emily Davis, and Sean were all there, along with tons of other people. Amy and Emily were fighting with each other, while Leo and Sean were talking about Sean's band. Amy's dad, Bernie, walked into the Shock Wave. "Oh, my God," Amy muttered when she looked at him. "Daddy, what's wrong? You look terrible."

Bernie walked over to Amy, and warned her, "Get out of town, and out of my life before it happens to you, too."

"Daddy, what are you talking about?" Amy asked her father.

Suddenly, Bernie fell directly at Amy's feet. "No!!!! Daddy!?"

Sean and Leo ran to Amy and Bernie's body. Leo pulled Amy off of Bernie, while Sean checked for a pulse on Bernie. "He's dead," Sean said.

"No! Daddy!" Amy fell to the ground by her father, and cried her tears in her hands. Emily bent down to Amy, and started to comfort her. "Amy, let us walk you home, come on."

Amy stayed on the ground, Emily got up, and pulled Amy up along with her. She walked to Sean. "Why don't we walk Amy home, she needs someone, and now who all does she have left?"

"Yeah, you're right. Leo, come with us." Leo followed Sean, Emily, and Amy out of the Shock Wave. Emily and Amy got in the back of Sean's car, while Sean and Leo got in the front.

The ride, for Amy, lasted days, but it was barely 10 minutes long in reality. Sean walked Amy into the house, and up to her room. "Sean, you didn't have to bring me home, I could've made it by myself." Amy started to walk to her bed, and her door slammed shut. She turned around, quickly, and saw Sean do the same. "Did you do that?"

"No, I have no idea how it closed." Sean tried opening the door, but to no avail. "Looks like we're trapped."

Downstairs, Emily and Leo were sitting on the couch, and the front door closed automatically, as did the French door leading to the dining room. "That was strange." Emily commented as she headed to the French doors. "They're not opening."

"You're kidding," Leo tried to open the front door, but it wouldn't budge. "This is too weird." Leo's cell phone rang, so her quickly answered. "Hello?"

"Leo, you and Emily have to come up to Amy's room, she and I are trapped in here."

"Well, Emily and I are trapped in the living room." Suddenly, the French doors flew open, and Emily fell over. "Hold on." Leo hung up the phone, as he and Emily went through the doors. They found that the kitchen doors were also locked. "Come on, Sean and Amy are trapped upstairs, in her room," Leo explained.

They headed up the stairs, but a desk fell right in front of Emily. She jumped back, knocking both her and Leo back down the stairs.

"Well, I guess we might as well try to enjoy ourselves," Amy said.

"Nihil sine numine, nihil sine numine."

"What was that?" Amy asked.

"I have no idea, I thought that was you."

Amy shook her head, "This is really weird."

The lights started to flicker, and a Marilyn Manson song started to play.

"Why is this happening?"

The windows flew open and slammed three times, before shattering. "Ah..." A piece of glass cut Amy's arm.

"Nihil sine numine," the voice began again. A slimy, green hand reached up from the ground. "Ahhhhhhh!" Sean and Amy both screamed.

"Lord, please save us, protect us, and keep up." Amy repeated the prayer three times, and suddenly, all the doors became unlocked, the windows came back into one piece, the music stopped, and the lights all stopped flickering. Sean grabbed Amy's hand, and the two ran down the stairs, and found Emily and Leo looking around.

"Emily!" Sean and Emily hugged and kissed each other.

"Sean, what happened?" Emily asked. "I have no idea."

"Look, this is great that you two were reunited, but I think we all should get the heck out of here, now!" Amy ventured.

"Nihil sine numine, nihil sine numine," a raspy voice started.

Amy turned around, and her long blonde hair started to fly around her face. "Not again!"

The back door opened, and a mummy, wearing Bernie's clothes walked in.

"Lord, save us, pro--" Amy's voice suddenly stopped, as the Bernie mummy started to attack her.

"Lord, save us, protect us, and keep us," Sean said three times.

Amy's hair stopped, and went back to normal, the mummy sank into the ground.

"Protect," Amy said. "What is happening to us?"

Leo grabbed her hand, and brought her into the backyard. Sean and Emily, meanwhile, ran into his car. Sean fumbled around, looking for his keys, suddenly, the car flew backwards, and landed on its top.

Outside, in the backyard, the wind started to pick up, and a thunderstorm was beginning. Leo and Amy ran to the wooden fence.

"There is no gate!" Amy yelled to him.

Leo began to kick one of the pegs, and Amy started to help him. "Look out." Leo backed up, and started running to the gate. Amy flew up to the fence, and hit her head on it. "Amy?" Leo asked.

Amy got up, and said, "Your pathetic attempts to get out of her will never work." The voice wasn't Amy's. The voice was a dry, throaty, raspy one. Leo looked at Amy's body, and ran back to the house. The doors slammed shut, trapping Leo with "Amy" in the backyard.

"What do you want?"

"My jewels."

"Okay, I know it's Halloween, and good trick and all, but please, Amy, let me go."

"I'm not Amy." Just then, Amy's body fell to the ground. She stood up, and asked, "What just happened?" Leo hugged Amy, and together, they started to look around the back.

Sean got up first, and started to look around the car, he saw Emily had hit her head on the dashboard and was bleeding. He fought his way out of the car, and to Emily's side. Emily was just waking up, "Oh... Ow,my head."

"Emily, take it easy, I'll get you out, don't worry." Sean turned around, as he struggled to get Emily out of the car, "Oh, my God."

"Don't say that name around me!" A force threw Sean in a tree, and the car, with Emily still in it, into the middle of another house.

Amy and Leo continued to fight with the fence, finally, they got one of the pegs out. "Amy, you go first," Leo said.

"But, but, what about you? You need to be safe too."

"No, Amy, you go first."

Amy hurried up and ran threw the opening in the fence. Amy got to the front of the house, and saw Sean on the ground. She ran to Sean, and found that he was breathing. "I'm so sorry, Sean, but I'll be saving you in the end." Amy ran down the street, and found Brad's car, with the keys in the door to his house. Amy ran to the door, and took the keys. She jumped in the car, and looked for the right key. Amy felt a chill run down her back, and looked around, seeing nothing, she took the key, and put it in the ignition. Amy drove down the street, and turned left, heading to the police station. The car started to rattle, and it finally broke down, when she was a mile from the station. Amy got out, and kicked the car. She started to run to the police station.


Part Two

Meanwhile, Leo began looking around the yard for another way out. He realized it would take too long to knock another peg out of the fence, and the doors wouldn't open. He decided to try to knock out the peg, and after struggling for a little bit, he finally got it out. Leo ran to the front of the house, and saw Sean getting up. "Sean, where's Amy and Emily?"

"What?" Sean asked.

"Where are they?"

"I don't know."

"Oh, my God," Leo said and looked across the street at the other house. He saw Sean's car, and Emily trying to get out. Leo and Sean ran to the car, and opened the door. Sean got Emily out, while Leo looked around for Amy.

Amy got close to the police station, but suddenly, her legs gave out. She fell to the ground, and landed hard on her knees. She looked up from the ground, and saw a glowing yellow being. Amy's feeling came back in her knees, and she started to run in the opposite direction. To her surprise, Amy flew off of the ground and back to the being.

"You pathetic little girl! Haven't you learned; you can't get away from me— Not now, not ever." He let out a deep-throated laugh. Amy kicked him in the groin, but her leg went right through him. He shoved her down to the ground, and she got back up. She started to run away again, but he grabbed her, and she struggled to get away. He pulled out a knife, and as he was about to kill Amy, she flipped him over her shoulder. Amy tried to kick him again, and this time, her foot right into his side.

"Oh!" The man groaned. Amy kept kicking him, and she finally bent over. She picked up his head, and slammed it on the ground. Thinking he was knocked unconscious, Amy bent over and pulled his hood off of her head.

"Ah!!" She saw a hideous, monstrous face. Her attacker jumped back up, and knocked Amy over in the process.

"Who are you!?"

"You dumb blonde, don't you know?" He started to her, but Amy jumped back against his attempts. She stood up, and as she was running, she began to pray. "Lord, please, take this evil and be gone with it. Please, Lord. Please. Please." Suddenly, the rain stopped, her clothes dried up, the wind stopped, the sun came out, and birds started chirping. She turned around, and saw no one where she was fighting the man.

Amy suddenly woke up. She looked around and saw Sean, Emily, and Leo standing around her. "Wh— What are all you doing here?"

"Well, don't you remember?"

"Remember what? The last thing I remember was me praying, and the sun coming up, the rain stopping, the wind dying down, and birds chirping."

"Well, you've been sleeping for over a half-an-hour," Emily said.

"What?" Amy got up. "Don't you remember, the house was haunted, and a mummy attacked me, you and Sean were hurt in a car accident, and Leo, you and I were actually getting along."

"Amy, you must've been dreaming," Sean said, "Emily, why don't you and Leo go downstairs and wait for me, I'm going to see if Amy's okay," Sean said.

"Yeah, okay." Emily and Leo went downstairs, and Amy got a new tee-shirt out of her closet. Amy started to walk to her bed, and her door slammed shut. She turned around, quickly, and saw Sean do the same. "Did you do that?"

"No, I have no idea how it closed." Sean tried opening the door, but to no avail. "Looks like we're trapped."

Downstairs, Emily and Leo were sitting on the couch, and the front door closed automatically, as did the French door leading to the dining room. "That was strange." Emily commented as she headed to the French doors. "They're not opening."

"You're kidding," Leo tried to open the front door, but it wouldn't budge. "This is too weird." Leo's cell phone rang, so he quickly answered. "Hello?"

"Leo, you and Emily have to come up to Amy's room, her and I are trapped in here."

Upstairs, Amy commented to Sean, "Watch out for those windows," just before the windows exploded. "Oh, here we go again," Amy said.
