She was still blushing when he excused himself to go change. When he came out she gave a small smile. "It's fine. It's better that it happened to me then you. I wouldn't of known how to react to seeing a carved, bloody man in bed next to me.." She said, going over to him to pet Tali on his shoulder. She had enjoyed him saying that she looked good. Carter never told her she looked pretty, he'd always just say she was pathetic.

She put out her hand towards him. "Wanna go downstairs with me? I haven't gotten to explore the whole house and kind of wanted too." She said, looking at him with her green eyes.

Andrew shut the door behind her and got out of bed, pulling on brown shorts and a black tee shirt. He then ran his hands through his hair, put on his deodorant and went downstairs to the kitchen. He started to look around the kitchen, checking the fridge to see what he could make.

((Kay toodles! :3 ))

She took his hand, lacing their fingers. "I feel a lot better now that you've helped me. Sure it still stings.. but i've gotten past the stabbing feeling." She said, waving to Tali before opening the door. "I'm kind of hungry.. want to get some food first?" She asked, leading him out of his room and then shutting the door gently so Tali couldn't get out. She didn't want her getting lost. "Oh, and if you ever want time alone just tell me. It's just.. after this mornings incident I probably won't want to be alone after awhile." She said, frowning.

Andrew smirked. "I can make an omelet." He said, looking up at her. "Oooh, cake sounds good for dinner." He said, standing up straight and kicking the cabinet shut.

When he blushed, the blonde blushed. "Sounds like a plan." She said, a small smile showing on her full lips. Her eyes glanced at his before looking at her brother and Alice flirting in the kitchen. "Good morning." She said, the powder on her face making it glow. Scarlett was naturally pretty, so the make up just added on to the effect.

She ran her hand aimlessly through her hair, letting it slowly fall back into place as she looked at the scene before her. "Good morning you two. How'd you sleep? I know I slept wonderfully in that huge comfy bed." She smiled, opened the fridge to the side and grabbing a bottle of water. She shut the fridge and leaned against the cabinet, cracking open the lid and taking a sip. "Mmm." She said, looking at everyone. "OOh cake for dinner? Sounds yummy."

"Sure, I'd like to see a bit of the land." He said, sending a grin in Alice's direction. When his sister came in his green eyes looked her over. She looked like she was glowing.."Hey, can I talk to you real quick Gideon?" He asked, bending backwards a little to crack his back. He stepped over towards Gideon, standing by his sister for a moment. "I slept fine. Plus I slept in my own bed." He said, his tone a little cold towards her.

Scarlett rolled her eyes at Andrew. "You don't control me! I'll like whoever I wish to brother. I don't yell at Alice for sleeping in your bed with you now do I?" She asked, sighing. She went over to Gideon and took his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Andrew leave my business alone and i'll leave yours." She said, slightly coldly.

Andrew glared at his sister. "Fine, but next time one of your pothead boyfriends takes a swing at you don't expect me to be there when you need me." He growled.

[COLOR="Teal"]Scarlett took her plate. "Thank you Alice, it looks wonderful. And I think all of us spending time together today would be a good thing." She said, smiling. She sat at the bar, watching as Gideon dropped her hand and went to get his food. The blonde sighed a long sigh and looked to her brother before trailing her green eyes back to her food.

Her right hand went for her fork, and she began to take a bite. At the first bite her taste buds were overjoyed with how good the omelet actually was. "Mmm." She said, closing her eyes to enjoy the delicious, savory food. She continued to eat even as her brother sat next to her. But when he brother brought up that they should all go swimming later she gulped. "Why? It's a little chilly.." She said, lying through her teeth since this was one of the warmest fall days there had been in the past two weeks.[/COLOR

Andrew sat down by his sister, taking a bite of his food. "This is amazing Alice. You should be a cook." He winked, taking another bite. "That sounds cool. Then we should all go swimming later. What do you guys think?" He asked, raising his left eyebrow and then leaning back in his bar stool a little.

Scarlett started to eat her food, looking over at Gideon wearily. " I'm not feeling too great anyways. I'll probably just sit out while the rest of you go swimming." She said, giving a small smile and continuing to eat her food. If she got in the pool all her cuts would be exposed, and she'd be in so much pain. She winced at the thought and stood up. "I'm done. Thanks Alice, it was wonderful." She said, going over and putting the food she didn't finish on her brothers plate. The blonde then looked at Gideon. "I'll be in the library." She said, turning and leaving the kitchen. She was determined to find something about this house. She had to figure out why these weird things were happening.

Andrew shrugged when his sister left. "Bye." He said, then glanced to Alice. "Yeah, it's perfect for swimming." He said, flashing his pearly whites at her. He then looked over at Gideon, his eyes showing him the dangers of being with his sister. Andrew ran his hand through his blonde hair, sitting back in his stool and glancing at the beautiful Alice.

Andrew stood up after finishing his food. "I'm going to go change as well. Gideon, if you know what's best for you you'll have my sister outside by the pool in twenty." He said, putting his plate in the sink and then going out of the room. He went upstairs to his room and changed into his black and blue trunks, looking at himself in the mirror.

Scarlett was up on the ladder, looking at a row of books up on the sixth shelf. She sang softly, her voice flowing through the halls with the wind from the open windows. Her voice sounded soft in the other rooms. She skimmed over the books, wondering what else she and Gideon could do today.

Alex once again ran his hands through his blonde hair. "Don't you look gorgeous?" He smirked. That's when his eyes caught something move behind him. he turned abruptly and glanced around. He turned back to the mirror, swearing under his breath, only to be shocked with another surprise. On the mirror, in big scratched letters were the words: We won't let her leave again.

His eyes widened, running to the mirror and putting his hands over the scratch marks. Yet he felt no cracks, bumps, or anything. The scratches had come from inside the mirror. He ran towards his door at Alice's words. "Y-Yeah. C-come look at this." He said, tugging her arm and pulling her into his room. He pointed to the mirror that still clearly shown those awful words. "What the hell's up with this place?" He asked, looking over at her.


Scarlett blushed when she realized he had heard her singing. She slid down the ladder and ended up n front of Gideon. With a soft, but devilish smile she took his hands. "Well, they may be going swimming.. but were not going to attend." She said, her green eyes sparkling as she looked at his brown ones. "Unless of course you'd like to swim. Though I don't think I should. The chlorine is bound to sting my cuts." She said, grimacing at the thought.

She released his hands and turned towards the books on the bottom row of shelves she had picked. "Here's some about the house. Like when it was built, who lived here. But nothing about any creepy things happening here. That's probably why the government has kept this house secret for so long." She said, looking back at the handsome Gideon that stood by her. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to piece this puzzle together. But nothing came to mind. "Oh Gideon, This is all so confusing! Whatever did this to me must've died here or was brought here.. but there's so little information about this home. It makes me wonder why?" She asked softly, her voice trailing off. "The basement! What if theres stuff stored in the basement or the attic about the family that lived here!" She grinned.

Scarlett's cheeks reddened when she noticed him do the same. She gave a small smile, setting the books back on the shelf. She took his hand, laced it in hers and then started to walk towards the doorway so that they could go to their rooms. "There's a flashlight in my suitcase. I'll grab it real quick. But maybe we should have some sort of weapon just in case there's something dangerous in the cellar or attic." She said, skipping quickly up the steps, happy that Gideon could keep up. Once upstairs she released his hand and went into her room to grab the flashlight. She fell to the floor, looking under her bed for her black and grey flower suitcase and then pulling it out from under the bed. She unzipped it, finding her bright red flashlight and then standing up, putting the flash light band around her wrist. She kicked her suitcase back under her bed and then went out of her room, gently shutting the door and going into Gideons room to wait for him.

Andrew nodded and ran to the phone in his room, picking it up and putting it to his ear. "There's no dial tone." He gulped. He went into his nightstand drawer and pulled out his phone, flipping it open. "No service.." He sighed, swearing under his breath again. "I don't think they want us to leave."

Scarlett smirked when Tali went up the steps, but her expression grew blank by the time she was at the top of the stairs behind Gideon. The attic's appearance instantly chilled her, and though she felt the need to grab onto Gideon she forced herself not to. She gulped. "U-um.. I guess just look at everything possible. I'll check all the trunks, and old suitcases." She said, stepping into the attic despite the loud creaks. This house was so old that the attic was bound to have something informational in it. She went forward, heading over to a small red trunk with the initials H.L. written across it in black cursive letters. The color was faded, but you could make out that it was a crimson red with black roses all over it. She gently unlatched the lid and opened it to find the most fanciest clothes she'd ever seen. Inside were old black and white photos, pearls, post cards, letters, and a marriage certificate to a Troy Foxworth. "I think I found a few things about the owners!" She said excitedly. She opened a letter that was directed to a Heaven Leigh. "Apparently a couple named Heaven Leigh and Troy Foxworth lived here. And they got married.." She said, reading the letter. "And were supposed to have a baby. But it was miscarried a month after their marriage." She said, frowning.

He gave Alice a hug and sighed. "I'm not sure. I suggest we pack our things and leave in the morning if anything happens tonight. "Maybe we should stay... I mean there willing to give use 5 thousand dollars to stay here.. And I really need the money.."
