The Crain House. (Part 2)

(A/N, HI EVERYONEEE!!! I hope you enjoy this chapter! The support from you all has been so nice to read and I really appreciate anything you all are doing xxx just wanted to let you know :3 now on with the writing!)

They stayed low to the ground on the approach to the house. Grass brushed their legs and tried to slow them down. "Hey come on, come here." John B whispered to the group. They ducked down next to him. "Here's the plan. We need to look for the wheat near the water like it said in Denmark's letter."Pope nodded but stopped halfway- "but like, what kind of water? Like pond water?""Maybe some kind of skag? That's a liquid." Y/N asked, mimicking an injection into her arm and making a squirting sound.JJ chuckled "Bong water?"Kie, John B and Pope started at them. John B narrowed his eyes, "No it- it just said look for water, okay?""That's the shittiest secret message ever." Kie sighed and stood up, advancing towards the building."Want to complain a little more?" John B threw his arms up. "Nobody said it was going to be easy."Pope tapped JJ's shoulder, "I'll search the northeast quadrant, you take the Northwest." "T-The decapitation quadrant." JJ said ominously, walking off with Y/N."Hold on-" Pope reaches out for Y/N's arm. "You're stuck with me. I can't in good conscience have you two walking around together unsupervised."Y/N pouted. "...fine." And followed Pope towards the Northeast side of the property. "That's dumb you know.""What is?" Pope looked behind him."That I can't hang out with JJ. We're responsible!"He looked at her and she bit her lip. "Please?" Y/N smiled."No."

Footsteps crunched behind Y/N, she swore she saw a head duck under the wall they came from... "probably just in my head..." she thought to herself, but still threw a wary glance behind her shoulder before continuing.Bushes rustled and birds called from the treetops. The Pogues moved as silently as they could... no one wanted to attract any unwanted attention. Y/N pushed wild plants out of her path and explored into the furthest corners of the garden, no "wheat" came up and no water was found. "Oh ow!" Y/N said, catching her leg on a spiky bush. "Fuck off..." she tried shaking her leg out. The whole bush shook and birds flapped away in fear. Eventually, she pulled herself out (with Pope's help) and they saw Kie approaching John B."Hey. Psssst. This is the only place we haven't looked." He whispered. John B stood infront of an old wooden door, leading under the house."Ah shit-" came a voice. It was JJ. Falling over a root. He span around and waved his arms as birds took off from al around him. Once the disturbances stopped, John B looked back to the door."Here we go..." he whispered and pushed it open. It whined as it fell back on its old rusty hinges.

John B went in first- he took out an old torch from his pocket and shone it around the musty house foundations. They could barely see anything... Y/N went in last and span around. Mostly darkness.... a shadow flickered over the door, making her jump."What?" JJ leaned over to her."I saw a shadow at the door." She pointed.JJ put an arm around her from behind and lay his hand on her chest. "We can scare the others together, but don't try to scare me." He chuckled and pulled her away from the door towards John B and his flashlight. An occasional drip would fall from the ceiling, one landed on Y/N's head, making her spin around and brush her hair back."You look like a bird shat on you." JJ pokes a wet gooey part of her hair.Y/N eyed his shirt and suddenly smacked her head into his chest, covering it in whatever was on her head."Oh ew!" JJ jumped back and wrapped his arms around Y/N, restraining her. She wriggled around and laughed, "Get off Jay." She squealed as he pressed her back against his chest."Not until all this shit is off of me." She smirked and held her tightly. Somehow Y/N managed to spin around and stepped backwards against a pole behind her. JJ took a slow step forwards and pressed his hand on the beam behind her. He looked over her and Y/N ran her hands up his hard chest. JJ licked his lips and lent into kiss her. She pulled him in and held him tightly against her. The miss was deep and passionate. He held her face in one hand and Y/N gripped his shirt.

"Guys!" Kie hissed and hit Y/N's arm. The torch was upon them. John B, Pope and Kie were staring at Y/N and JJ, not that surprised just slightly amazed at the timing. "Oh uh-" JJ stood up."Sorry." Y/N rubbed the back of her neck. They turned around and continued onwards. JJ and Y/N met eyes and laughed quietly. The light from John B's torch made the shadows around them dance. Pipes ran around the room like one huge maze. John B sighed at the apparent nothing that appeared before them. Just house plumbing. The torch searched for somewhere else to go, and fell upon a stair case. They went down the crooked stairs and found themselves even deeper underground. Some old furniture sprouted up around them. Along with plenty of dust and spiderwebs. There were mosquitos everywhere.JJ came down after The other three, singling "down came Mrs. Crain..."Y/N slid down the splinted banister past him, she landed with a thud. "And cut off all our heads." She said in a singsong voice.JJ smiled and tiptoed up behind the others, "Up came the sun, and dried up all the blood." "Can you stop!" Hissed Pope.Kie gasped as John B'a torch fell upon the creepy room under Mrs. Crain's house. Full of old dolls and cradles. Rotting chairs that looked like they would be more at home in a hotel film. Home to probably a thousand spiders. There was a constant creaking in the background and the sound of muffled running water. Y/N saw the floorboards above them move, as if someone was up there. "See any water?" Kie said out of the darkness.They looked around the tired room, nothing was showing up. "Maybe they just built the house over where it was buried?" Suggested Y/N.Kie shook her head, "No... no because where is the water then?" "An old pond?" She replied.Kie sighed and looked at John B, "another dead end?" He didn't reply.JJ felt the bigger pipes that lines the room. "There's not even water on the pipes."Pope put a hand on Kohn B shoulder, "there's no water here." "Not a dropamino." JJ pouted."Know why we didn't find it?" Kie glared at John B, "bad karma.""Oh god." JJ mumbled.Kie walked over to John B, "We had such a good thing going. And then you roped in barbie and now the trails gone dry. Coincidence? Probably not.""This is exactly why I don't want to tell you about Sarah." John B Fired back.While they argued Y/N saw a shadow move on the stairs. Her eyes locked onto it and it disappeared. The flooring above her warped and dropped flakes of wood. She heard the door whine again and felt uncomfortable... a mosquito buzzed past her.John B walked up to Kie, "what the hells going on between you and Sarah.""Nothing!" Kie looked away from him."Nothing? Is it because I kissed you? Is that the problem?" He said with the ghost of a smile.

Silence. All eyes fell onto them.Not even JJ or Y/N had a stupid quip to add...

Kie slapped John B. Not hard enough to injure him but enough to express her rage at his disrespect."Oh!" Pope called out.JJ gasped "Oh, shit!""Holy fuck." Laughed Y/N."That echoed dude..." JJ whispered to Pope and Y/N."Stop treating me like I'm some little girl that's obsessed with you. Instead of your best friend who's actually trying to look out for you.""Did you, Uh-... hit me?" John B glared with judgmental eyes."Skeeter." She held up her hand as if there was a mosquito on it."Skeeter?" He snarled.Kie smiled, "yeah. You see it." And shook her hand.John B slapped Kie hard around the face, knocking her to the side. "Okay...." Pope was shocked.JJ put a hand to his mouth "oh, hey! No-""Dude..." Y/N looked at him with shock."Skeeter." John B spat."Where's your proof." Kie grinded her teeth.He held up his hand with a mosquito on. "Yeah? There was probably one right there..." John B hit her arm gently, "one there too.""Really you saw that?!" Kie looked gentler."Yeah and here." He facepalmed her jokingly."Today is the day you die John B." She smiled."Oh really." "Shhh!" Pope hissed."Yeah. It's the end for you." Kie said to John B. They tried not to chuckle. Y/N clapped her hands on a mosquito. "Fucking swarms..." she muttered."Hey, sh! Keep it down!" JJ held up his hand."Why are there so many mosquitos in a basement..." Pope said to himself.

John B and Kie play fought in the background while JJ and Y/N clapped their hands at the mosquito swarm."Are they scared of dogs too? Like snakes?" She asked."Uh- probably." JJ barked at them.Pope but a hand over his mouth so he could think. "Tiny vampire bats dude." Y/N squished another."Can we go get?" JJ sighed. "I'm itching to leave."Y/N chuckled at the 'itching' joke. "Very Punny."Pope didn't reply, instead used John B's torch to look at some planks of wood on the floor. He stomped on them. They were hollow. Y/N had wandered off and picked up an old doll. "Mrs. Crains voodoo doll." JJ said from behind her.She nodded, "definitely." She pretended to stab it and JJ fell down and cried out "ahhh... ahhh" She lifted him up and laughed.Kie and John B we're still laughing and fighting near the stairs. Pope dropped a coin down through the planks of wood.JJ groaned loudly, "Can we leave this? It's getting-"

Splash.

Pope scrambled to rip up the wooden planks."Hey Pope!" JJ jumped at the sudden noice. "Sh!""Shh!" Hushed John B.Y/N walked over "Pope what are you-" she saw some circular stones, "oh shit!" And ran to help him."Help me move this!" Pope called to everyone. "Okay just... quietly." Kie helped lift the wood.With each plank taken away, a well was slowly revealed."She's probably right upstairs..." JJ whispered as another plank was placed gently onto the floor. They peered down into the darkness of the well. Silence. Pope grinned, "well well well.""That was a good dad joke." John B uttered as they looked into the abyss."They built a house right over it." Y/N smiled."This is where she hid the bodies." JJ glances at them.Y/N chuckled up at JJ, "You think their's a skull in there?""Guys some on." Pope pushed them gently."Stop." Kie sighed.JJ glances from the well to Kie, "I'm dead serious." He said cooly."Stop it!" She whined."It was never an outhouse." JJ whispered."She probably doesn't even know it's here!" Kie said over him.Y/N looked at John B, "So... we found water. What now?" "We're going to need a huge rope." He replied.They scrambled from the basement in a mass of excitement. Everyone was buzzing... they had found water! Now to fetch a rope.

Once back over the garden wall, John B jumped into the drivers seat and started the Twinkie up. The radio popped to life and Pope sat down next to him.Kie pulled the door open and Y/N jumped in followed by JJ then by Kie. The door clattered shut and they drove off in celebration.

Out of a nearby bush, a head rose to watch them drive away. His body tense with jealousy.
