Mabel, Dipper, and the others stood in front of a large beaten down abandoned house. Some windows were cracked with pieces of glass lying on the ground. Some shingles also laid on the ground while some were next to Windows, but were crooked. Moss was beginning to grow on the walls of the large house with bundles weeds growing next to them. The house definitely looked like it had been abandoned for years.
Without no warning, Lee and Nate walked to the door and turned the door knob. To Mabel's surprise, it creaked opened allowing everyone to the dark hallway inside it. Both Nate and Lee laughed smiling looking back at the others. "See, told you it was haunted," Nate said entering the house. "There had been reports about the door not being locked or opening by itself."
"Maybe the ghosts wants us to come in." Lee added smiling as he followed Nate.
The others said nothing and followed Nate and Lee into the house. Dipper closed the door behind him and followed the others to the living room. Everything in the room including the furniture and decor were covered in cobwebs and dust. Some of the furniture were broken while others stood perfectly in place. The portraits on the walls were old fashioned as if they were made around a hundred years ago. Mabel rubbed her nose as she took a look around. If there were so many old fashioned portraits on the wall, when exactly was this house made. Better yet, when did it start to become haunted?
As Mabel pondered over this, she failed to notice Nate and Lee had started to mess around with some of the furniture. Wendy, who hadn't said anything yet, placed a lit cigarette into one of the cases and turned away. Mabel saw this and stared at her in astonishment. Wendy noticed that Mabel saw her and looked back at her glaring at her as if she was telling Mabel to mind her business.
Not wanting to mess with Wendy, Mabel turned going over her thoughts. Now that she looked at it, Wendy did look like a delinquent with how rude she always sounded and the clothes she wore. The fact she smoked didn't help the case. It was a wonder how she was friends with someone like Robbie.
Robbie.
Mabel turned towards Robbie and sighed dreamily as he tried talking to Tambry to join in the fun with Nate and Lee who were both beginning to throw a vase to Thompson to catch. She could stare at Robbie for hours and still not get tired of it. Robbie was her dream boat as what most girls usually called their crushes in her grade. She smiled at that thought until she felt a cold chill in the back of her neck. She turned behind her to hear something being dropped in the next room. She stopped moving to see if anyone else heard what she heard. Realizing that everyone else were still going about having fun, Mabel gulped and went to investigate it.
Mabel walked into the next room which was the dining room. Like the living room, it was covered in dust and cobwebs. The walls were decorated in old fashioned portraits. What was odd about the room was the fact that the table was already set. Glass plates and silverware were already placed on the table in front of each chair nearly. Candles on cylindrical waxes were lit in the middle of the table in small jars. Mabel shuddered at seeing the lit candles and took a step. Just as she did, a radio at the side of the room turned on playing a tune Mabel could not recognize. But the way it sounded made her feel relaxed.
She walked towards the table and picked up a fork to study it. On the end of the fork was an engraving. It was MD. Mabel stared at the engraving for a few seconds before she heard a loud scream coming from the living room. She could not recognize it, but she could point out that it was from one of the female teens. Mabel placed the fork down and ran towards the door leading to the living room. Just as she was about one step from leaving the room, the door shut in front of her with a loud click. Mabel widened her eyes at what happened and began to try to turn the knob for a few seconds with no success. Soon, her frightened state turned into panic. She began to hit the door with her fists calling out names for help. Eventually, after several minutes with no one coming to help her, she gave up.
Mabel took a step back from the door and looked around hugging herself. The calm relaxing music was still playing and yet, now it was making her as frightened as ever. Dipper was in the other room. If one of the teens screamed, that could only mean something bad happened. And Dipper might be in the middle of the chaos. Mabel tightened her grip on herself. It did not help the fact that Robbie was in the other room as well. If something bad really did happened, did it happen to Robbie?
