CHAPTER 30

“NOOOOOO!!” Me, along with mostly everyone in here whine/groan out as the power of the laptop blanks out.....losing the light of screen and it was coming up to the best part!...I knew I shouldn’t have jinxed it!

I frown glaring at the laptop as it decided then off all places to cut out...

“Stupid laptop...” Evan cusses as Chris gets up to remove the DVD....

“Well that sucks...” I huff shifting position on the floor as I’m starting to get cramp in my leg...

I hear a laugh “April!....it’s gone now! You can look back up” Hayden smirks at his sister and I look towards her only realising now that she’s got her head buried in Seth’s chest covering her eyes...

I scowl at her as she slowly lifts her head, looking around anxiously and breathes a sigh of relief as she sees the laptop screen is off, not playing the movie anymore...

“Thank god..” She mutters leaning back against the edge of the sofa, glancing to Seth from the corner of her eye and blushes again looking down “S-sorry..” She mumbles looking away from him, probably only realising she was on him, pff...I doubt that, she knew what she was doing.

Seth smirks “It’s cool..” he shrugs before stretching out his legs and I narrow my eyes at him jabbing him in the ribs which only causes him to roll his eyes at me...

“Soo....what we do know?” I ask leaning back against the cushion and aiming my question to mostly Chris as he’s in my eye line...

Chris smirks slyly and glances around at everyone else, all seeming to have a telepathic conversation...weird...

“Ooh!” Evan shouts out suddenly, the glow of the candles lighting his grin on his face

 “Let’s play hide and seek” He grins/smirks and I give him a odd look, but see Chris smirk “Come on, it’s dark....no lights are on so it’ll add to the ‘fun’” He smirks air quoting the word fun, and I narrow my eyes at him suspiciously...

I hear Seth chuckle and shrugs agreeing and soon the rest of the guys agree...I frown narrowing my eyes at Evan...

He smirks at me standing up “Come on Lex.....I’ll give you a flashlight...” He chuckles earning a harder glare from me, idiot.

“Well...I’m up for it...sounds like fun ...” Noah smirks standing up from his position on the floor, the dim light from the flickering candles only showing up his outline...

I groan inwardly...as it looks like I have no way of getting out....even Leon is up for it....which is surprising...

I reluctantly get up from the floor, followed by Seth and April, who might I add is still a little too close to him for my liking...

“Okayy....soo...here...everyone grab a torch..” Blake says holding out a bunch of torches and as I grab one I give him a pleading look, signally for him to anyway...anyhow stop us from playing this....but he just smirks at me chuckling lightly, and ignores it......AND I THOUGHT HE WAS ON MY SIDE!

Traitor!

I flick the torch on, thinking that maybe....okay this won’t be that bad....I’ll just stick with Seth....

“Okay......Aston!...your counting....as your the oldest!” Evan calls out smirking and Aston blinks before frowning before rolling his eyes and shrugs...

“Okay...but...rules...you’re only allowed down here, and on the 3rd layer....not the second where the kids are sleeping..” Aston tells us...and we agree...

“1.....2....3.....go!” Chris shouts out before everyone races from the living room....

I blink as they move too quick and hurriedly move out towards the door looking for my twin...

Where did he go?!

I bite my lip as I don’t see the familiar blonde hair, but only some running up the stairs....where the heck did he go!? He knows that I don’t like the dark....he wouldn’t leave me!....

Cursing at Seth in my head my head snaps to the direction of movement and I see the familiar dark blonde hair of my younger brother...

“Leon!” I hiss hurrying over towards him as he walks into the kitchen and I grab onto his shirt, “Wait...” I squeak moving closer to him as my eyes are wide looking around the dark space of the kitchen, only are torches lighting up areas...but even that isn’t so great....

I hear him sigh “Fine...” He mutters already knowing what I was about to say, and I’m grateful that he does...as I hate to admit it...

Chewing my lip nervously...I latch onto him, not caring if he’s younger than me....he’s actually pretty tall...catching me up definitely...even through the dark...

Walking through the kitchen literally feels like a task in its own!...I may have been living here for little over 2 weeks....but it still feels foreign to me in the dark...

“Where we hiding?” I whisper asking Leon as I still have a tight hold on his arm....

I feel him shrug, and he shines the torch around the kitchen, pausing at the long dining table... “There...” he states walking over, me following closely behind...

Bending down, we crawl under, trying to avoid hitting my head on the way....and I shuffle under the surprisingly low table sitting with my legs crossed.....

“Now turn your light off..” Leon says and flicks his light off...

My eyes widen as I grip onto mine “What?!...no”” I hiss quietly as we are in a game of hide and seek you know....

“You need to....otherwise Ash will find us...” He says grabbing my torch and flicking the switch, submerging us into darkness....

My eyes widen again as I blink furiously trying to adjust my eyes to the dark and I feel my heart rate starting to increase slightly....

“Leeoon...” I whisper/hiss into the darkness turning my head behind me to where I can just make out his dark figure...

“Shhshh....don’t you know the rules of this game?” HE replies sarcastically and I can imagine him rolling his eyes in the dark....

I scowl and move my arm out to shove him,” Shut up..” I mutter glaring at his figure through the dark, and I swear...I swear I can see him smirk!.....just like his dammed brothers...

 I swallow and rub my hands on my pyjama bottoms, looking straight ahead to...heck I don’t even know! I can’t see a damn thing through the dark....but what I can see freaks me out as I know it’s not there...

Have you ever stared into the darkness?.....for like ages...and then you swear you suddenly see movement within the darkness...and think something’s there?....but it’s not....it’s just your eyes playing tricks....well that’s what I tell myself anyway.....

The only sound in the house, is the constant quiet ticking of the clock hanging up on the wall...and mine and Leon’s breathing....

“Lee...?” I whisper as I anxiously look around me in the dark, trying to figure out the what the dark outlines are that I can see...

“Hmmm” Comes his hummed reply from behind me...

I whip my head around as something moves in the corner of my eye “Lee!... “ I squeak “What was that?”

I hear him sigh “There’s nothing there Lexi....now shush unless you want to get found” He replies...

I bit my lip turning my head back around and staring to the darkness in front of me....my gosh..I hate this...

I swallow once again, and try to keep calm.....it’s fine, it’s fine....we’re only in the kitchen of our house...I know nothing’s there....and plus I’m not on my own...Leon’s with me....

I breathe out silently closing my eyes.....it’s fine, we’ll just wait until Ash finds us...

“Leon?” I whisper again wanting to ask him something....

My eyes shoot open as I don’t get a reply....

“Leon?” I repeat a bit louder this time and my voice wobbles.....

Panic fills me as I get no reply and I turn around in the dark, desperately searching for the outline of his figure “Leon?!” I hiss eyes widening as I reach my arm out, only to meted by thin air...

Oh my god...oh my god!...where did he go?!

My breathing picks up as I start to panic.....where is he?...he couldn’t have just left me?!

Feeling goose bumps rise on my skin as I feel cold air breeze over my bare arms, I shiver and scramble out from under the table, completely forgetting about the torch and leave it abandoned as all I can think is that I do not want to be left there alone.....

Feeling around on the counter tops, I hurry out of the kitchen, biting my lip as to not let out any kind of scared noise...and I hurry down the hallway away from the kitchen, not knowing where I’m going...but I don’t want to stay there....not on my own..

“Leon?!” I hiss/whisper out desperately in hopes he could just be out here......but again...no reply...

Grabbing hold of the banister, I pull myself up the stairs, blindly guessing where each step is...but I feel along with my hands, hurrying up them, having a horrid feeling that something could be following me in the dark.....even thou I know there isn’t...I just can’t help but think there is...

Reaching the top of the stairs, I pant out, realising my breathing is different...and coming more fast as I look from left to right.....trying to see through the dark...

Seth.

I need to find him....he’s the only one that would understand...

Taking a chance..I hurry along the pitch black corridor, towards the next flight of stairs, before running up them, tripping over some steps occasionally, but dragging myself up them by the rail....

Reaching the top I feel my legs starting to shake and I grip hold of the top railing...

“Oh god...Seth...please be up here..” I whisper to myself, an involuntary whimper escaping my lips as I force myself to walk down the dark corridor, feeling along the walls and trying to think of anything except what could be there in the dark....

Only hearing my deep breathing, I swallow and keep constantly turning my head to look over my shoulder, even thou it’s useless as I can’t see anything through the dark...but I still do, and hear the beat of my racing heart ringing in my ears...

My god.....I swear I will kill Leon for leaving me.....

There’s nothing there.....there’s nothing there...

I keep repeating in my head as I carry on walking down the hallway, my hands running over the wall to lead the way and I keep breathing deeply trying to calm down.......

My hands suddenly reach something, something that sure as hell doesn’t feel like a wall...

Something softer and warm.....and moving.....Oh my god! IT’S ALIVE!...there’s a fricken monster in here!

I retreat my hands back at lightning speed as my eyes grow as wide as sources and I let out a terrified scream...

“Noo!...shhs!” A hand comes down and clasps over my mouth, muffling my scream, but my eyes widen in complete fear.....oh my god!..it’s human!.....oh god are they gunna hurt me?!

I shove on their chest wiggling out of the grip and yank the hand away from my mouth “...get off! Get off!....my god!....get off you crazy freak! Get off!” My voice rises louder and louder as I desperately try to hit their hands away....scared that something’s about to happen...and wanting to defend myself so I hit out....

“Lexi..” I hear a familiar groan speak and I freeze, my blood running cold as I stand there in the darkness stiff as steal...

“N-Noah....?” I stutter out blinking my eyes rapidly and squinting them through the darkness

“No...it’s the f*cking Christmas fairy..” Comes his sarcastic reply and groans...sounding like he’s in pain...

My eyes widen as I realise he IS....of course! I’ve just been hitting him blindly!...who knows where I would have hit him?!

“Oh!...shhi-Wait!....don’t do that!” I snap glaring at him through the dark “You scared the f*cking sh*t out of me! Do you even realise who I thought you where!?” I start hitting him again getting angry...

“Ow.....ow!...alright, alright....sorry! just quite hitting me...” He pleads...but I can hear the amusement in his voice causing me to growl and hit him again, not caring where I get him...

“You idiot!....complete and utter jer-!” My cussing gets cut off again as he places his hand over my mouth....and I blink in surprise as I look up and can actually make out the outline of his face.....

“Shhsh!...” He hisses turning his head to look back down the corridor “There’s someone coming..” He says and before I can protest he drags me after him and into some kinda of small....cupboard?....

I push him away from me roughly glaring, in his direction as I can’t actually see him “What was that for?!......what were you doing just stood in the hallway in the dark anyway?!” I continue to question him, as I feel my heart rate slowly start to decrease....

“Calm down Chipmunk....I was hiding..” he says and I can practically see him roll his eyes through the dark...

I glare at him more for that stupid nickname...I mean do I look like a flippin Chipmunk or something?! That’s just insulting!

I snort folding my arms “Hiding?...oh yeah that’s really hiding, just stood right there in the open..” I reply sarcastically rolling my eyes...

I hear him chuckle and come closer towards my “Yeah...and it’s lucky I did...otherwise who knows who...or what would have found you...” He says almost near a whisper and I can hear the smirk...

I clench my jaw and glare, knowing he’s only trying to wind me up... “Shut up......I was just trying to find somewhere to hide...” I say...lieing cus that’s not exactly what I was doing...

He chuckles and I open my mouth to say something when suddenly his hand is back around it “Shhshh” He orders and I narrow my eyes, but then my ears pick up on what he means.....

I hear some voices, deep, low, quiet voices from the other side of the door, and from underneath the door I can see the flashing of someone’s torch.....

I look up to Noah, and as he’s close to me again I can see his dark brown gleaming eyes through the dark as his head is tilted to listen to the voices....as they get further and further away....

I hear Noah sigh with relief and then release his hand from my mouth as I glare at him....crossing my arms again huffing...

“What are we even doing in here...?....I’m not staying with you....open the door..” I speak in a quite harsh whisper as I don’t want to be found...well...not really....it’s a game after all...I just want to find Seth....

Noah sighs over dramatically “Fine...” And walks over to the door, which is like only two steps to reach to...I think we’re in the airing cupboard....

I hear him pull on the door handle as it rattles, and then he pulls again harder...

“Urrr......I think the doors stuck...” I hear Noah mumble and I frown through the dark

“What?” I ask not sure if I heard him properly...

He sighs and turns around as I can see his figure “the door.....it’s stuck..” I see him shrug his shoulders casually and move away from the door...

I blink once....and then again, processing his words...and once I do...my eyes widen...and I jump towards the door.

No, no, no! Please no...It can’t be stuck!

I pull and shake the door handle roughly, hitting the door, trying to get it open “No, no, no..” I whisper starting to feel my heart rate increase again....

“Relax....we’ll just wait until the lights come back on and then...someone will come and find us..” Noah replies from the corner of the cupboard....small, small cupboard I might add.....there’s shelves around us, confinding us in this small space with hardly any room for the door of us to stand...

I feel my breathing hitch as I shake the door handle again...

Please, please open......I can’t get stuck in this small room.....especially not with him.....
