*SLAM* went the door, encasing us in dust. I started to cough violently as the dust started to finally die down.

“What the hell was that?!” I asked after my coughing fit.

“I have no idea…” said Jimin, fear evident in his voice.

I looked around at my friends, they were all scared senseless. Even Yoongi looked unsure and agitated, followed by the usually calm, cool, and collected Namjoon who was now anxiously shifting from one foot to the other. No one had spoke for about five minutes until Jungkook had enough and started to pace back and forth spitting out theories that we were trapped for a reason. Being the hot head that he is we just left him to vent out his anger.

Bad decision.

As we were all quietly speaking to calm each other down Jungkook started to stomp harder on the floor as he walked around, the floorboards started to scream in agony. Then he finally stopped and stared at the door, I sighed in relief hoping that he was done being angry. Boy was I wrong….

All of a sudden he started to bang on the door like it was a punching bag, he didn’t scream, he didn’t even curse at the growing number of splinters on his knuckles, he just punched.

Jin in his growing fury, yanked Jungkook by the ear dragging him back to the small circle we had started to form. I swear you could see steam blaring from both their ears….

Another couple minutes went by and Hoseok started going hysterical.

“I CANT STAND THIS ANYMORE. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET OUT OF HERE. WHAT IF WE DIE HERE AND NOBODY FINDS US BECAUSE THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE GUESS THAT A GROUP OF GROWN MEN WOULD GO TO FUCKING HAUNTED HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT JUST TO “CHECK IT OUT”

“Hoseok calm down, no one is going to die.” Namjoon sighed.

“HOW DO YOU KNOW A SERIAL KILLER COULD POP OUT ANY MOMENT AND WE ARE HERE DEFENSELESS!”

“HOSEOK JUST CALM THE HELL DOWN!” Jin huffed, obviously annoyed by both Hoseok and Jungkook’s actions. Even though Jin was trying to have Hoseok calm down anyone could tell Jin was truly freaking out as well.

The mansion went still again, no one spoke the only thing heard was our sharps breaths bouncing off the torn wallpapered walls. The a quiet whisper interrupted the silence.

“Um, I think that we might actually die here.” Jimin said pointing to the door that was laced with deadbolt locks.

“Well shit.” Yoongi said, turning his head to face us. “I guess we're screwed.”

Flashback

The night was quiet and dark, with a couple of owls in the background. Heck, there was probably a bat flying around too. The scene before us was straight out of a horror movie, but we didn’t care we were still dead set on going to that damn house. Honestly I don’t even know why we wanted to, but we just did. We were all bored as hell and then Yoongi had brought up that a construction company has been trying to tear down the Van Halen manor to build a shopping plaza. He also had mentioned that the whole property had been blocked off and that many people have tried sneaking in and had been scared straight. Of course after hearing that Jungkook insisted that we had to go there to see it ourselves, then one thing led to another and here we are standing in front of Van Halen manor and 11:57 pm on a Friday night.

It stood tall and proud, Van Halen manor. I bet on its glory days it was the most beautiful home in the whole town. But now the faded paint was chipping and then there was a new barbed wire fence that most likely was put there to block out people like us. The rest of the probably intricate architecture was blocked by the darkness of the night, and the overgrown shrubbery.

“Okay, let's go in.” Namjoon said confidently.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” I asked.

“Why? Are you scared Tae?”

“No. I was just wondering…”

“Well it’s not illegal, so we’re good”

“Plus nobody is here to report us.” Jungkook chimed in holding up a pair of pliers.

I gulped and watched as he started to clip each wire after the other. Finally he finished and there was a big enough hole for us to go through,

“I’m first!” Hoseok shouted as he climb through smiling. After Hoseok it went Jin, Yoongi, Jimin, Namjoon, leaving Jungkook and I last.

“You coming?” I asked Jungkook, who was facing the road, startled he turned to me and nodded quickly, dropping the pliers and pushing past me to go in first. I sighed and followed him, walking down the long moss covered path that led to the front of the house. When we got there the rest of the guys were waiting.

“Come on the door is already open, just don’t shut it.” Jin said.

“Okay.” I said. I followed them inside the house, leaving the door open.

The smell of must and old cigars filled the air, I couldn’t help but almost gag. I stepped on about ten cigars, probably from the construction workers. But, then again, even though Yoongi said that they were going to tear down the building, I couldn’t see that any work had been done except the wire fence.

We all stood there staring at the inside of the main hall of the house, admiring how some of the furniture was still intact when all of a sudden *SLAM*
