24: ππππ
The, now, group of six all sat in the campervan, the blue sky now turning dark as they made their way to the Crain house. All six teenagers wore black clothing to blend in with the darkness so they wouldn't be seen by anyone.
As John B drove, the group continued listing out the stuff they had. Eventually, they found themselves parking right in front of the Crain house. Sharing words, they hop out, the three girls being the first one's to climb over the locked gate in front of the house.
Quietly, the teenagers made their way through the many trees and bushes around the Crain house, flashlights in hand so they could see around them. As they had slowly got closer to the basement they were last at, they all came to a halt when they found themselves in front of the house, the porch lights suddenly turning on. Curses leaving their mouths, they all dive down behind some bushes, turning off their flashlights.
"Okay, so she has motion sensor lights." Pope observes.
"We could, uh... move really slowly, maybe?" JJ suggests with uncertainty.
"Yeah, that's not how it works." Pope replies.
"Oh, shit. Let's throw a rock at it." John B suggests.
"That's a really good idea. Let the axe murderer know that we're here." Kie sarcastically comments.
"Throw a rock at it?" Pope repeats in disbelief.
"You guys have a better idea?" John B fires back.
"Literally anything but that." Kie replies.
"What about the breaker? In the circuit box on the porch." Sarah speaks up. "We used to play hide-and-seek here as kids. And if we were brave enough, we'd go all the way up to the porch. I've seen it. I can go."
"Crain chops people into pieces." JJ recalls.
"If you believe that, but she's like what, eighty-five? She's probably barely still kicking." Sarah states.
"Here. I'll go with you." Y/n offers.
Kie nods. "Me too."
"Okay, we'll wait for your signal." Pope informs.
"Hey! Be safe." John B whispers, looking at his girlfriend.
"We will." Y/n assures.
And with that, the three girls walk off, their flashlights turning on. Sarah leads the way through the bushes and trees, soon finding themselves getting closer to the porch. Quietly, they walk up the steps, stopping right in front of the circuit box. Kiara opens it, but the breakers weren't there.
"Where are the breakers?" Sarah asks in a whisper.
"What is this?" Kie adds.
"Shit. It goes inside." Y/n observes.
All three of them slowly look up, Sarah aiming her flashlight at the wall, seeing the pipe connected to the circuit lead the way inside the house. Exchanging a look, Kie slowly opens the small door gate, then twisting the handle of the door, the three hesitantly walking in.
The girls shined their flashlights around, making sure to walk quietly. All of them jump when a cat hissing is heard and the sound of glass, but continue their way forward. Kie grabs the other twos attention as she points upwards at the pipe, knowing they were going the right way.
Walking into a room, they turn to their right, sighing in relief upon seeing the breakers sitting on the wall. Sarah and Y/n shine their flashlights at it as they watch Kie turn them off, making sure to be quiet. A small light from behind them turns off, signaling Kiara had done that.
Suddenly, after a couple seconds, a whirring sound fills through the ears, followed by the sound of a clock, making the girls gasp as they hid behind the wall, turning off their flashlights. As they hid there, the sound of thumping, followed with heavy breathing was then heard. Their eyes widen, knowing Mrs. Crain was close.
"It's late, Leon. Too late." Mrs. Crain's raspy voice calls out.
In fear, Kiara covered her mouth, all three of them making sure to be extra quiet as Mrs. Crain slowly begins to pass them, coming to a stop slightly in front of them, making their hearts beat quickly.
"I can hear you, Leon. I've been waiting all night!" Mrs. Crain suddenly exclaims, turning to face the girls.
Letting out screams of fear, the girls quickly begin to run off, leaving the old woman behind. Kiara and Y/n both dispersed from Sarah, finding themselves running into another room, stopping in front of a door with boards all over it.
Y/n removed the chain, unlocking it. However, they were trapped when they glanced over their shoulders, seeing Mrs. Crain walking towards them. Instantly, they ducked when the woman began swinging a fire poker around. Sarah had quickly ran in, grabbing the fire poker and throwing it away before grabbing the girls hands, all of them quickly closing the door behind them.
All of a sudden, the wood of the door began to break from the other side, making them scream, running off. Sarah led them towards a certain area, claiming it led underneath the house to where the boys were at. They quickly ran down a staircase, stopping in front of JJ and Pope.
"What's going on?" Pope questions.
"Mrs. Crain! She's up there!" Sarah informs, out of breath.
"She tried to kill us with a fire poker." Kie adds. "We gotta get the fuck out of here."
"We locked her in the parlor, but we gotta go." Y/n ushers.
Quickly, the two boys begin yelling as all five of them quickly start pulling on the rope, only to fall backwards, signaling John B wasn't tied against the rope. All crawl over, looking down in the well, hearing John B yell something to them.
"What's he saying?" JJ asks.
"Y/n! JJ! Pope! Kie!" John B's voice echoes loudly.
"Hey, John B! Get back on the rope. We're gonna pull you back up, okay, buddy?" Pope calls down as the others grab onto the rope again.
Soon hearing John B shout to them, saying he was on the rope, they began pulling again. As they did that, a gunshot suddenly rings through, making the girls scream and let go of the rope, hiding away from Mrs. Crain. Pope and JJ quickly tie the rope up before hiding themselves.
When another gunshot happens right near them, the girls had no other choice but to run to the exit, JJ and Pope soon following. All run through the bushes and trees, climbing over the gate and into the campervan. The gunshots continue happening as JJ starts the vehicle, slowly driving off as they see John B climb over the gate, running towards them.
Y/n held out her arm for her boyfriend, feeling him grab on and quickly pulled him inside the vehicle, letting JJ quickly drive off. All took in the mud, dust and dirt all over John B's face and clothing.
"You look disgusting." Pope comments.
"God, you smell like ass." Kie adds.
"What the hell just happened?" Sarah questions.
"All-time Pogue Hall of Fame, baby." JJ exclaims.
"That bitch is possessed." Kie states.
"That bitch can't aim." Y/n adds.
"How does she move that fast?" Pope asks.
As they all ranted many things about Mrs. Crain, John B slowly pulls out something from his pocket, removing some mud from it, revealing a gold color from underneath. All their attention goes to the boy and the object in his hand.
"What is that?" Kie questions.
"No, you didn't!" Y/n exclaims, sharing an excited look with Sarah.
"We did it, baby!" John B replies. "I did it!"
Immediately, the entire vans erupts into cheers as they still process the fact that actual gold sat right in John B's hands. Y/n, who sat beside her boyfriend, exchanged a high five and fist bump with Sarah and Kiara before muddy hands suddenly grabbed her cheeks. The next thing she knew, John B's lips were on hers. Even with the mud all over him, she didn't even bother fighting against it as they kissed one another passionately, soon pulling away, a little bit of mud now sitting on the Maybank girl's face.
"Guys, we're gonna be rich!" Kie states.
Sarah nods. "Like Kook rich."
"Full Kook! Full Kook!" All five teenagers chant in unison, their voices raising with each word.
