Selena and Kiara woke and watched the sunrise from the nose of the boat while waiting for the 3 Pogue's

"Uh-oh! Did you forget your keys or something?" JJ joked as the smaller boat approached them.

"You need a tow?" John B added

"Don't give them the satisfaction that this worked." Kiara mumbled

"Absolutely not."

"You got to admit, it was funny." John B chuckled

"Am I laughing?" Selena scowled

"John B." Kiara scoffed

"That's me."

"Mastermind huh?"

"I'm always planning." He shrugged

"Some patriarchal bullshit." Kiara sneered

"Yeah, that fucking sucked." Selena added

"Still Love is though, right?" JJ asked throwing a rope to curly-headed girl

"Still hate me?" John B questioned

"Always had pretty boy." Selena rolled her eye's

"You better watch your back." Kiara smirked

"Well I actually welcome that challenge." Pope spoke up

"Me too." JJ agreed

"So, ddI, you guys, you know?" Pope asked

" reconcile our differences?" Kiara disinherited the sentence

"I think that putting on a boat overnight, would make's love each other?" She scoffed "I thought you were the smart one."

"But, we have concluded, that we can possibly, work together?" Kiara said in a questioning tone.

"Well, that's a victory in our book." John smiled

"Yep." JJ agreed

"Wiggedy-wiggedy-wiggedy." Pope chanted shoe Selena sent kiara a wink

"Know why? Hyrdoponic." JJ mumbled

"Don't say that." Pope shut down the blonde enthusiasm

"Alright, shut up. Your guys ready to jack someone up?" John B asked

"Not really." Selena said sarcastically

"Sure, whatever." Kiara muttered jumping ont he boat Selena closely behind

Everyone went their separate ways to get the supplies for that night but Jon B. explained that they would have to meet back at the Château.

—

"All right, you guys got rope?" John B asked

"Got it." Pope replied

"Grappling hook?"

"No grappling hook, we're not Batman, B John." Selena giggled

"Pulley?"

"Check." Kiara spoke up

"Dark clothes?"

"Got it."

"Flashlights."

"Check"

"Alright good, we're ready."

"Let's go get rich guys." JJ mumbled

"Yeah, hell yeah." Kiara agreed

"Go boy's." Selena ordered

"And girls." Kiara corrected

"Let's go." Pope said enthusiastically

"Let's roll." JJ added as John B slid open the car door while ordering everyone to wait.

"I wanna say thank you guys, seriously." John B began "it mean's a lot that your here tonight."

Kiara rolled her eye's but replied with a heartwarming "always."

"Of course man." Pope whispered. the 2 teens doing there little hand-shake and John B gave a soft smile to Selena

"All right are we done with this corny stuff because it's gonna make me vomit." Selena said ruining the moment

"Thank you Selena. I'm done with this circle jerk stuff, can we just go do this now." JJ agreed

"Fine." John B moved out the way for his friends to get out

"Let's go get that wheat in the water." Pope said happily

"Weed? I'm up for weed." JJ chimed in

"Wheat, I said wheat." Pope corrected

"After you." Kiara said to the girl

"Ladies first." Selena smiled climbing up the stone wall

The group walked the sketchy woods all the way to the rundown house. They stood there frozen for moment before a light flashe son causing them to Quickly hide behind.

"Flashlights! Flashlights!" Kiara whispered as the Pogue's turned all source of illumination off.

"Okay, so she has motion sensor lights." Pope stated the obvious

"We, could, Uh, walked real slow, maybe." JJ suggested

"Really." Selena scowled at the boys stupidity

"Yeah, that's not how it works." Pope said in a 'matter fact' tone

"Oh, shit. Let's throw a rock at it." John B chimed in

"What?" Pope and Selena said at the same time

" that's a really good idea, let the axe murderer know that we're here." Kiara said sarcastically

"Throw a rock at it?" Pope related in confusion

" you got a better idea?" John B asked

"Literally anything but that." Selena replied but realized something "what about the breaker? In the circuit box on the porch. We use to play hide-n-seek here as kids, shit was intense."

The Pogue's all gave her weird Lances but she continued with her idea

" anyways, if we were brave enough we would go all the way up to the porch, Not even joking Mrs. Crain almost tackled me wwe style once."

"No, no. You're not going in that house alone." John B said sternly

"Yeah okay dad." Selena rolled her eye's "watch me."

"Crain chops people into pieces." JJ mentioned

"Do you believe that, but she's like what, 85?" Selena snapped back

"Yeah, something like that."

" she's probably barely still kicking."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Kiara smiled

"Yeah." Selena agreed

"Okay, then we'll just wait for your signal." Pope confirmed

"Cool." The duo stood but John b grabbed Selena hand

"Hey, be safe."

"We will." She reassured the boy

They walk through a little trail leaves and sticks crunching under their feet as crickets chirp loudly through the night.

Selena has goosebumps crawling all over her skin as her and Kiara climbed up the creaky stairs. Once they arrived at the scary porch they noticed a little box and Selena shoulder dropped in relief.

Kiara opened the box only to relive a box full of wires but no breakers and the feeling of relief was long gone.

"Where are the breaker's?"

"What is this?"

"No,no,no,no,no." Selena panicked as kiara shines the light on a tube that lead inside the house.

They had no other choice then to go inside.

They had to be careful with each step because of the old and creaky stairs. Once wrong move and everything would go wrong.

The tube finally ended into a small room where a metal box stuck to the wall and when lost opened it, 2 rows of switches were revealed. Kiara switched each one slowly and carefully making sure they didn't cause too much noise

As soon as the front light switched off Selena and kiara looked at each other with wide grins on their faces.

Just as they were about to leave the sound of tapping came from above and there grins dropped. They looked at each other in confusion as the person began to wheeze and cough while slowly walking down the stairs

"It's getting late Leon, too late." She coughed out walking into the same room the girls in, kiara had her hand clapped around her mouth trying to prevent any noise from coming out of her mouth.

Selena has tears threading to escape from her eye's but she quickly blink them away biting her lip preventing a whimper.

"I can here you Leon." She said once again the girls fear mixed with confusion since they had no idea who she was talking about "I've been waiting all night!" Her raspy voice shouted

"Go,go, go!" Selena shouted running out the room Kiara close behind. They ended up separating and just as Selena was about to leave the house she realize Kiara wouldn't behind her anymore

"Fuck me." She groaned running back into a room where Crain was inches away from stabbing the curly-headed girl

She ripped the firepower away throwing it somewhere and grabbed Kiara hand quickly shutting the door behind them. They let out a quick sigh in relief but the woman poked the sharp tool into the door causing splinters to fly everywhere.

"Shit!" Seems shouted running out the door to the basement hand in hand with Kiara

"This way, it leads under the house." Selena shouted there footsteps loudly thudding on each step

"Guys! Guys!" Selena shouted and a look of confusion speeds on both of the blonde's faces

"Woah who's, what wrong?" Pope aksed furrowing her brows

"Mrs. Crain is up, she tried to kill us with the fire poker. Guys we gotta get the fuck out of here." Selena replied shakily

"We looked her in the parlor, but I don't think that will hold her long enough." Kiara added

"Ok, yeah that's code red, John B!" JJ shouted down the well as Kiara and Selena grabbed onto the rope.

They all counted to three before pulling on the rope only for them to pile onto each other because John B wasn't on the rope.

"John B, hey your ass back on the rope!" Selena shouted at the boy

"Wait guys sh." Kiara mumbled and the teens went silent. They could hear a muffled shouting and Kiara immediately thought he was drowing so they began pulling the rope with all there strength till the loud boom of a gunshot rung through the basement

"Holy fuck!" Selena shouted as Pope tied the rope down and hid behind a few boxes.

"Hide, Hide, Hide." Selena whisper-shouted pulling the girls hand as another gunshot went off.

"She can't see, she's blind." Selena realized standing up along with Kiara and running away. JJ slowly got up from his hiding spot and ran out the tiny basement door following Selena Pope following closely behind.

The adrenaline was through the roof as they ran through the woods and finally over the stone wall into the rundown van.

JJ in the front seat with no hesitation began driving as soon as all 3 of the Pogue's were inside the vehicle.

Selena aniexty rows up as another gun shot went off hitting the stone wall knocking a few bricks to the ground.

"Why are we always getting shot at!" Pope shouted

"John B!" Kiara and Selena yelled as the boy jumped over the stone wall

"Come on! Come on! Come on!" Kiara shouted as John finally jumped inside the van drenched in mud from head to toe.

"Are you all good? Are you shot?" JJ asked hitting the gas so the van would go faster

"Yeah I think I'm good." Selena replied

" I think I'd know if I was shot, right?" Kiara questioned moving her hands around her body

"Sweet lord baby Jesus you look like shit!" Selena chuckled

"You look disgusting." Pope added

"And you smell like ass." Kiara covered her nose

"What's he hell hits happened cause I swear I blacked out when the first gunshot hit." Selena blinked repeatedly

"All-time Pogue Hall of fame, baby!" JJ shouted form the front

"Hell yeah." Kiara patted his back "that bitch possessed."

"That bitch got asthma and needs an inhaler." Selena added

" how does she moves so fast." Pope asked

" she's possessed" Kiara repeated "she's blind."

"God Damn, for a blind woman she like the fucking hulk." Selena said trying to catch her breath as John B pulled a bar that was shiny and gold.

There was only one explanation on what that was

"No you didn't." Selena was the first to notice

"Shut up!" Kiara smiled

"We did it baby!" John B shouted and Pope eye's looked like they were about to pop out

"No you didn't!"

"I did it!" He Repeated as JJ turned around to Ambrocio the gold too

"Oh my god!" He shouted turing his eye's back into he road as the van filled with the screams of the Pogue's

"Wait wait! Guys we're gonna be rich." Kiara realized

"full kook." John B said

"Like full kook rich." Selena and Kiara said that the same time

"Full kook, full kook, full kook, full kook, full kook." The teens shouted together as one
