S1:C6 Parcel 9
There are only three kinds of relationships in the animal kingdom. The first is commercialism. One example...fish finding hiding spots in coral reefs. Fish profit, but life for the coral doesn't change. Then, there's mutualism...a relationship where both animals benefit from each other. The tricky thing about animals is you don't always know what kind of relationship you're in. Which brings me to relationship number three. The parasitic.

It was the next day and everyone met up in Kiara's parents restaurant 'The Wreck' while John B explained what had happened about him staying at the Cameron's household. Nate was sat next to his brother while John B and Pope were sat together while Kiara was in the middle of working her shift, "I'm sorry. You're staying where?" She passed by John B who glanced at her.
"Tannyhill." John B told her.
"So you're living with Sarah Cameron." Kiara said as she continued to work.
"Okay, look, the only reason I'm living there is because her dad bailed me out, alright? And it's way better than foster care, which, by the way, is where I was about to go if Ward didn't--" John B explained before he got cut off.
"Hey, so do you have a membership to the clubs now?" Pope asked him.
While Kiara was handing Nate the drink he ordered. "Thanks, Kie," He gave her a smile which she had returned.
"I don't know, Pope." John B sighed as he answered the Heyward boy.
"What about those little golf carts they drive around? Did you get one of them?" JJ asked as he took a sip of his drink.
"Does it come with a sweater-vest or do you have to buy one on your own?" Nate also asked.
"Look, you promised. You said you weren't with her." Kiara said to John B, looking at him as he shrugged and glanced away from the girl.
"Bro, just own it. She got you." Nate said as he saw him looked away.
Kiara was holding the back of Nate's chair, as she spoke up again, "Look, if you wanna hang out with her, that's fine. But I'm letting you know that I'm not doing anything with Sarah." She told John B.
"Do you guys see her here?" John B glanced around at his best friends. "No, right. Okay. A little focus would be fantastic. We've got the map, right?" He then said, as he looked up at Nate and JJ.
"Well, it's all out of whack 'cause the guy was ganja'd when he drew it." JJ said as he looked at the map in front of his brother and Pope.
"It's 'cause the coast had changed," Nate and Kiara say simultaneously as they looked up at JJ who smiled at them both, but more to his brother.
"So we just have to look for landmarks that haven't changed." Pope said to them.
"What about the old forts?" John B questioned.
"Battery Jasper." Nate replied as he looked down at the map then back up at his friends and brother.
-----
They get to the Battery Jasper, Pope took out the map as they looked out at the view. "We're at Battery, right here. So, if this is parcel nine, then it's somewhere northeast of here." Pope pointed out.
"So, it'll be somewhere over there," Nate pointed out as JJ and Kiara looked over where he was pointing.
Pope nodded at his best friend. "Right,"
"Over there? Guys, that's not Tannyhill, that's a subdivision." JJ said as he looked over at them.
"Tannyhill Plantation use to be the entire island. It got sold into smaller pieces over time." John B explained.
Pope looked back down at the map. "So we're just looking for an old stone wall."
----
The Pogues were back in the 'Twinkie' as they heading to the old stone wall. "Okay, so the road should split up here." Pope pointed out to John B.
"Okay." John B replied.
"Alright. You're gonna take a left." Pope says and John B took a sharp turn before slowing down.
"That looks like a stone wall to me." JJ said as John B parked the van on the side of the road.
"This is it." Pope told them.
"Not the Crain house." Nate spoke up as he looked over at the house, then back at JJ.
They all got out of the van, as they approached the old stone wall. "Are you kidding me?" Kiara said beside Nate as she looked at the boys next to her.
"Well worst-case scenario." Nate commented as he stared at the wall as they all stood next each other.
"Why'd it have to be here... of all places?" Pope questioned.
"Me and Jayj heard that Mrs. Crain buried her husband's head on the property." Nate said as Kiara, Pope and John B gave him a disturbed look.
After the boys and Kiara climb up and walk into the house's lawn, Nate and Kiara were walking next to each other as JJ, Pope and John B were following closely behind them. "So, Kie which stories did you hear about?" Nate asked her as he turned his head to her to look at her.
She looked at him with a smile, "The one where she killed her husband with an axe and that she's been holed up ever since." She said, "On certain nights, when the moon is full... you can see her in the window!" She wags her fingers in front of him, as she chuckled.
Nate just glared at her. "Okay, that's not funny. 'cause you know it's all true." He told her as he followed behind her as she was now in front of him.
"Waah!" Kiara turned with smile, as she continued to walk ahead of them.
"I swear to God, guys, this is all real. We knew Hollis. Jeez!" Nate walked in front of a statue which startled him.
"Wait, both you knew Hollis Crain?" Pope asked the brothers.
"Yeah, dude." JJ nodded his head, as both Nate and Kiara which poking each other.
"Guys, how did you know Hollis Crain?" Pope asked them again.
"She was our babysitter, man. She told us all about it, right N?" JJ explained as he looked over at his brother and Kiara.
"Huh?" Nate looked over at JJ, "Oh, yeah, she told us the truth...about her mother and what happened in this house."
"Yeah, so as a kid, she heard all the stories that her mother killed her father, and...she was a murderer and all. Hollis didn't believe it." JJ explained as he turned to look at John B, "Until that night." JJ paused as he looked at his brother who nodded at him for him to finish off.
Nate looked over at John B, "It all came back to her. When Hollis was six years old, she heard her parents arguing downstairs. So she goes downstairs to see her mom washing her hands in a sink... full of blood. Her mother just says that she cut her finger. The next morning, she says her father and her split up. But then Hollis noticed something. Her mother going into the parlor constantly, in and out and in and out with plastic bags. Weeks pass, and Hollis decides to use the outhouse. And as she's using it, she looks down, and there, in the outhouse, is her father's head, looking straight back at her." He told them as he gestured to his eyes.
"God, you both are so full of shit," John B looked between the Maybank brothers.
"Dude, we swear to God, man." JJ stood next to his brother as he looked at John B.
"Did she call the police?" Pope asked the Maybank brothers.
"She didn't have time." JJ responded.
John B brushed past the brothers, and Pope, but both Nate and JJ quickly stopped him, "What?" he turned to them.
"You sure you wanna do this? She's an axe murderer, man. You got a cast on." Nate gestured towards John B's cast on his wrist.
"I don't give a shit if she's an axe murderer, okay? I got nothing to lose, right? You coming, or what?" John B asked them both.
"Come on." Kiara says as she grabbed Nate's forearm as she pulled him with her, as they followed John B.
"Hey, come on. Come here." John B whispered, they all scooted closer to the Routledge boy. "So here's the plan. We need to look for the wheat near the water like it said in Denmark's letter." He told them, quietly.
"Okay, like, what kind of water? Like, pond water?" Pope asked him.
Nate chuckled as he looked at the Heyward boy, "Bong water?" JJ chuckled at his brothers comment as Pope, Kiara and John B gave the younger Maybank a look.
"No. It--it just said look for water, okay?" John B corrected him.
"That's the shittiest secret message ever." Kiara said beside Nate, while as John B looked at her before she walked away from them.
John B walked after her. "You wanna complain a little more, Kie? Nobody said it was gonna be easy." He said to her.
Pope turned to Nate and JJ. "I'll search the northeast quadrant, you both search the northwest." He said to them.
JJ pointed. "The decapitation quadrant." He corrected Pope.
The Pogues all searched the grounds of the house, before Nate noticed a crawl space, "Yo, John B." He whispered before he noticed that Kiara had joined him, "Hey, Kie look," He showed her the crawl space as they shared a smile.
John B, JJ and Pope appeared and made their way over to them, "Nice work, N," John B ruffled Nate's hair. Nate merely opened the door, before he turned back to his friends and brothers, "Guys come on," He said as he turned back around as he walked inside, with Kiara, JJ, John B and Pope following behind him. "Down came Mrs. Crain and cut off all our heads. Up came the sun and dried up all the blood." Nate began singing.
Pope joined his side. "Can you stop?" as he used his flashlight into Nate's face.
Nate joined Kiara and John B's side, as JJ was behind them all. "See any water?" the Carrera girl asked them, swat a mosquito away from her as it flew towards her, "Another dead end?"
Nate noticed the pipes above them, as he places his hand on it, "Guys, there's not even any water in the pipes." He told them.
"There's no water here." Pope said as he looked at John B and Nate standing together
"Not a dropamino." JJ said as he looked around.
"You know why we didn't find it?" Kiara said as she looked between the Maybank brothers, Pope, "Bad karma." She continued as she turned towards John B.
"Oh, God. Here we go." John B mumbled.
"You know, we had a good thing going. And then you decide to rope in Barbie, and now the trail's gone dry. Coincidence? Probably not." Kiara said as Nate looked between the two of them.
"This is exactly why I didn't wanna tell you about Sarah." John B told her as he stepped closer to her.
"Yeah?" Kiara asked.
John B nodded. "Yeah. What the hell's the deal? What's going on with you two?" he asked her.
Kiara looked away from him, "Nothing."
"Nothing? Is it because I kissed you? Is that the problem?" John B questioned, in a douche-bag tone.
Kiara slapped the Routledge boy across the face, "Oh!" Pope exclaimed.
Nate looked over at them, with his eyes wide as a smirk appeared on his face as he crossed his arms, with amusement.
"Oh, shit!" JJ said and looked at his brother and then over at Pope. "That echoed, dude!" He added.
"Stop treating me like I'm some girl that's obsessed with you instead of your best friend who's actually trying to look out for you." Kiara said to the Routledge boy.
John B looked at her, "Did you, uh... hit me?" He merely asked.
"Skeeter." She raised her hand, for him to look at it.
"Skeeter?" John B asked.
"Yeah, you see it?" She asked, in a sassily tone.
John B then slapped her across the face, as Nate looked over at them, "John B,"
"Where's your proof?" She merely, asked as she looked back at John B.
John B raised his hand, "skeeter." He said
Kiara slapped him on the arm, "Yeah? There was probably one right there."
The Routledge boy and the Carrera girl, continued to playfully hit each other.
Nate goes over to his brother and Pope, as they watched them.
"These things are a freaking swarm!" Pope kept smacking his arms and legs.
"Why are there so many mosquitoes in a basement?" Nate asked as he swatted a Skeeter on his arm, then brushing it off him.
"Bro, I know, seriously. Tiny vampire bastards, just leave me alone." JJ says as he looked over at him. "Oh, my Gosh! Okay, can we leave? Cause I'm already itchin' to leave." he continued as Nate noticed something on the ground, as he moved his flashlight towards the ground, noticing a slants of wood on the ground.
"I just found Crain's voodoo doll, guys."
Nate drops a rock between the slants of wood and the water splashes once it drops, making a echo sound. Nate began to move the slants out of the way, "Guys." Nate looked over at his friends, then over at his brother. "Bro, help me move this." Nate asked his brother as he walked over to him.
The Maybank brothers, moved the last pieces of slant of wood and putting it to the side, as John B, Kiara and Pope walked over to them, then helping them. Once they got all the pieces of wood off, they look into the well with all of their flashlights pointed down into it. "Well, well, well." Pope said.
"That was a good dad joke." Nate said to the Heyward boy.
John B kneeled down, as a smile appeared on his face, "They built this part of the house right over it." Kiara says.
"This is where she hid the bodies." Nate whispered.
"Oh, dude, come on." Pope punched the younger Maybank's arm, gently.
Kiara looked over at him, with an annoyed look but she couldn't stay pissed at him before she smiled at him.
"He's dead serious," JJ nodded his head in agreement with his brother.
"Guys, stop it." Kiara told them both.
"It was never an outhouse." Nate continued, before Pope hits the boy in the back of his head.
"She probably doesn't even know it's here." Kiara spoke as she glanced at the boys.
"So... we found water." Pope said, as he looked over at John B.
"We're gonna need a really big rope." John B glanced at his best friends, with a smile on his face.
-------
Back at the Chataeu, the Pogues were all gathered outside sitting on the front, John B had brought Sarah over, "No effing way! You brought he here? So what? She's in on this now?" Kiara asked the Routledge boy.
John B glanced over at Pope, then the Maybank brothers, "I dunno." Pope shrugged his shoulders as he shook his head, then looking at JJ and Nate.
"Look, all I care about is her cut comes out of your share." the older Maybank spoke up.
"You know, I don't remember taking a vote. This is our thing. A Pogue thing." Kiara stated as she looked at John B then Sarah.
"I have to admit, that I'm a little bit uncomfortable, with all this," Pope said as he looked over at Kiara and then over at the Routledge boy.
"Thank you!" Kiara says.
"When are you not uncomfortable?" John B asked the Heyward boy.
"I dunno. I rode here on the back of Nate's bike pretty comfortably." Pope said as he looked at Nate.
"That's true. Most relaxed I've ever seen him." Nate spoke up as he rested his hands on the back of his head. JJ nodded his head as he pointed over at his brother.
"That's cute, guys." John B said as he looked away from them.
"You know we were all extremely comfortable until you brought her." Kiara says as she looked over at Sarah who was looking back at her.
"Stop talking about me like I'm not here!" Sarah raised her voice.
"Then leave." Kiara told her as Nate looked over at her.
Sarah scoffed as she looked over at John B, "I told you."
"Told him what, exactly? That you're a liar?" Kiara asked her.
"No, that you're a shit-talking bitch." Sarah responded, as the girls were arguing the boys were betting on who would win in a fight.
"Everybody shut up!" John B raised his voice, as everyone looked at him, "Kie, you are my best friend, right?"
Kiara doesn't answer him, as John B looked at Sarah, "And Sarah, you're..." He paused, "You're my..." He says as a smile was appearing on his face.
Sarah gave him a smile, "Say it." she says.
"You're my girlfriend." John B said.
Both Nate and JJ nodded, as Pope spoke up, "Ohh,,,that's new."
"She's your girlfriend now? What was all that talk about you were just using her for information?" Kiara asked as she looked at Pope and the Maybank brothers before she looked back at John B and Sarah, "Get a map. Cut her loose." She finished.
"You said you were using me?" Sarah asked as she looked at John B.
"No," John B denied.
"Yeah, you did," Nate spoke up as he stood up, and went next to Kiara.
"Look, love just walked in, okay?" John B told them.
"Oh, vomit." Kiara says as she looked away, as Nate looked at her.
"I didn't expect it. It just-- it kind of happened." John B said as he looked at Sarah. "And I'm not gonna deny it. Right?"
"Oh! That's corny." Pope whispered to the older Maybank.
"Look, cut the bullshit, John B. If she's in, I'm out." Kiara says as John B looked away from her.
"Kie, I'm not doing this." John B looked back at the Carrera girl.
"You are gonna decide." Kiara told him.
"I can't!"
"I'm very interested, actually. Me or her?" Kiara asked him and he answered her quickly.
"Both." He said.
Nate crossed his arms as he looked at Kiara and John B.
"Ooh." Pope says.
JJ whistled, "Went for the Hail Mary." he whispered to the Heyward boy.
Kiara walked off, "Kie!" Nate called after her, before he quickly followed her.
Kiara went off to the pier, and sat down as she began crying, Nate slowly approached her as he sat down next to her. Kiara just stared out at the water, as the two stayed silent.
"You okay?" Nate asked her as he finally broke the silence between them. Kiara stayed silent as Nate scooted closer to her, "John B's an idiot."
Kiara had finally looked at him, "I hate John B right now," she said as she looked down before Nate placed his hand onto hers, as he gently squeezed it. "Nate, I know how this ends. I've seen this movie. I starred in it. I mean, freshman year, it was my first year at the Kook Academy. You know how intimidating that is?" Kiara looked at the boy in front of her, "And one of these things is obviously not like the other. I mean, I didn't have anything in common with anyone, and just as i'm about to slit my wrists, the queen asks me if i wanted to go save baby sea turtles. Our first day together, we walked to the beach. We waited for the hatch, and we kept seagulls off so that the turtles could get to the water.
"That sounds, really nice," Nate leaned over and wiped under away Kiara's tears.
"It was the best day of my life." Kiara gave him a small smile, as she places her hand onto his. "And then she turned on me like she does with everyone. Nate, i'm doing this with her." Kiara finished as Nate pulled her into a hug, and planted a kiss above her hairline. "He's gonna have to choose," Kiara said into Nate's chest.
"Kie, you know he's not gonna do that," Nate told her, softly.
"Why not?" Kiara's voice was sharp. "It's not fair." as she looked at him.
"Because we know he's an idiot, okay?" Nate told her.
Nate stood up as Kiara watched him, "If it were me, I'd choose you in a heartbeat..." He says with a smile, Kiara stared at him as Nate turned and headed back to the Chateau.
----
"What'd she say?" John B asked the younger Maybank, as he sat down in a chair.
"She said your gonna have to choose, bro," Nate said as he crossed his arms.
"It's a no-brainer. You're picking Kie." JJ said as he opened up the fridge to grab himself and his brother a beer as he passed him it, as Pope nodded in agreement with the older Maybank.
"Look, I can't make a decision." John B says.
"So, what? We're just dead in the water because you're pussy-whipped?" JJ looked over at his best friend, as his brother done the same.
"We can't do this without Kie, and you know it." Nate said as he crossed his arms.
"And I can't do it without Sarah." John B looked at the younger Maybank, as Nate let out a sigh. "Okay? They both have to be in on it." he told them.
"Well, good luck with that," Nate said to him as he went over to the freezer and opened it.
"You know what? I know this was my fault, alright? But it's our problem." John B explained, as he walked away. "I've got a plan. And you three shitheads are gonna help me out,"
------
It was the next day and Nate is picking Kiara up from her dock, "Nate, what the hell is going on?" she asked him, as Nate held his hand out to help her onto the boat.
"Okay, so, JJ, Pope and John B are conked out in the marsh. They new a tow." Nate told her as he helped her onto the HMS.
"Uh, okay, well, what does that have to do with me?" Kiara questioned.
"Well we need your brains for the mechanical part," Nate said with a smile as he looked at her, they started to head towards JJ, Pope and John B's location, "Okay so, John B, JJ and Pope are up in the Alp." Nate told her.
"Can't you guys do anything without me?" Kiara asked as they approached the other boat.
Nate got the HMS closer to the other boat, so Kiara could aboard it, while Nate waited for his brother and his best friends to come out, after a few seconds the three of them, comes out of the boat, then a boarding the HMS, leaving Kiara there.
Kiara ran out and stopped as she heard banging, "John B, let me out!" It was Sarah, she opened the door, and Sarah joined Kiara's side.
Kiara and Sarah both shout at them, "Guys!" Kiara shouted.
"Are you serious? Are you joking?" Sarah shouted out.
"Get your asses back here!" Kie shouted at the boys again as the three boys climb aboard the HMS with Nate's help.
"We can't. Not till you two figure it out." John B shouted at the two girls.
"I will kill every single one of you, especially you Nathan!" Kiara shouted.
Nate grinned at her. "Love you, too, Kie!" He shouted back at her. Before the girl gave the younger Maybank a middle finger.
"Y-you can't just leave!" Sarah shouted after the Carrera girl.
"There's food in the cabin, and Nate rolled a blunt," Pope shouted over as he raised his thumbs up.
"Hydroponic!" JJ raised his hand.
Both Kiara and Sarah had started to undress, "Wait!" Sarah jumps into the water as the boys drove off. "John B, you asshole!"
"Love you, guys! Bye!" JJ shouted out.
———-
It was the next morning, and the boys all got ready to pick Kiara and Sarah up. The boys saw them from a distance, "Uh-oh!" Pope yelled out.
"You forget your keys or something?" John B asked them.
"You guys need a tow?" Nate asked as they got closer to the girls.
"You gotta admit it was funny," John B says as Nate chuckled as he nodded his head.
"John B," Kiara says as the boat slowed down.
"Uh, what's that?"
"Mastermind, huh?" Kiara asked, as she glanced at the boys.
"I'm always planning," the Routledge boy said proudly.
"Some patriarchal bullshit." Kiara stood up.
Sarah followed suit, "Yeah, that sucked."
Nate grinned at the girls, "You still love us though, right?" Nate asked them with a smile, as the younger Maybank tossed the rope over to Kiara, who catches it.
"Yeah, whatever,"
"Hey, you stil hate me?" John B asked his girlfriend, who had her arms crossed.
"A little. We're gonna get you back when you least expect it." Sarah said as she looked over at Kiara.
"Watch your back, boys." Kiara says as she looked at the boys.
"I welcome that challenge." Pope says as Nate and JJ nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, me to," Nate smirked over at Kiara, who was smiling at him.
"So, did you guys, you know?" Pope asked the girls as he gestured towards them.
"Reconcile our differences?" Kiara asked and Sarah shook her head, "not even close," Kiara looked away from them.
"But we're...willing to work together," Sarah looked at Kiara.
"You know what? That's victory," John B said as the Maybank brothers nod their heads.
"Guys, you know what it was right? It was the Hyrdoponic," Nate told them.
"Don't say that," Pope said to him.
"Alright, shut up," John B told his best friends, before looking back at the girls in front of him, "You guys ready to jack some loot?" He asked them as the two girls smiled.
"Yeah, whatever," Kiara jumps onto the boat as she sat next to Nate before slapping his arm.
"Hey!" Nate rubbed his arm as he glared at the girl before his lips turn into a smile.
——-
The Pogues and Sarah were in the Twinkie, "You got rope?" John B asked.
"Got it," Pope replied to the Routledge boy.
"Grappling hook?" John B asked again.
"No grabbling hook. We're not Batman," the Heyward replied as Nate and JJ laughed at his comment.
"Pulley?" John B once again asked.
"Check," Kiara says as she sat between Sarah and Nate.
"Dark clothes?" The Routledge boy asked again.
Nate glanced around everyone before nodding his head, "check,"
"Flashlights?" John B finally asked.
"Check," the older Maybank replied to him.
"Alright, good. We're ready."
"Let's go and get rich, guys," Nate says as Kiara smiled at him, "Yeah, hell yeah."
John B got out of the Twinkie and headed round to open the door, "Go, boys," Sarah says.
"And girls," Kiara added.
They all started to get out of the van as John B opened the door, "Wait, wait," he stopped them,"I wanna say thank you, guys. Seriously." He glanced between them. "It means a lot to me that you're here tonight."
Nate smiled at him, "Always," he raised his hand to fist bump John B's.
"Yeah," Pope agreed with the younger Maybank as he does his handshake with John B.
"My man," John B then looked at Sarah and Kiara.
"Alright, we done with the circle jerk? Can we go do this?" JJ asked as he had his arm around his brother, as he glanced at them all.
"Let's go get that wheat in the water,"
"Weed? I'm up for weed," JJ said as he and Nate got out of the van.
"Wheat. I said wheat," Pope corrected him.
Kiara followed behind Nate as Sarah followed her, "Ladies first," Kiara says as Sarah climbs up, "Alley-ooo," she says as Kiara followed.
After they all climbed over, they all walked through the lawn, and stopped as they stared at the house, as the lights went on, "Shit!" Sarah gasped.
"Oh, shit!"
"Go, go, go, go." Pope says as they crouched down from the light.
"Flashlights!" Kiara says as they all fumbled to turn off their flashlights.
John B shushed them, "Okay. So she has a motion sensor lights." Pope says as he looked at Nate and JJ who was beside him.
"We could, uh...move really slowly, maybe?" JJ suggested as Sarah and his brother look at him.
"What?" Nate and Sarah both say simultaneously.
"Yeah, that's not how it works," Nate spoke up as he looked at him brother, before putting his hand on his shoulder.
"Oh, shit. Let's throw a rock at it." John B told them.
"Oh, yeah! That could work. Let the axe murder know that we're here," Nate said as he looked at his best friend.
"Throw a rock at it?" Pope asked again.
"You have a better idea?" John B asked them.
"What about the breaker? In the circuit box in the porch." Sarah suggested, as everyone looked at her. "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." Sarah explained to them.
"No, no. You're not going in the house alone." John B says.
Sarah shook her head, "watch me,"
"Crain chips people into pieces."JJ says as Sarah looked at him.
"If you believe that, but she's like what, 85?" Sarah asked him and Nate.
"Yeah, somethin' like that," Nate answered her.
"She's probably barely still kicking." Sarah told them.
Kiara looked at her. "Here, I'll go with you." She says as Nate looked over at her, as concern was on his face.
"Yeah,"
"I'll go with them, just in case anything happens," Nate asked John B, while both Kiara and Sarah both got up.
"Okay, fine," John B says as he nodded at him, as Nate also got up as he follows the girls.
"Guys, be safe,"
Kiara, Nate and Sarah headed towards the house, "Guys, she must have a generator plugged into the main power supply," he told them.
They head up the stairs of the porch, "shhh," Kiara said, quietly.
Nate opens up the box, seeing that the breakers isn't in there, "Where are the breakers?"
"What is this," Kiara says as she had a closer look.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no." They both shared a look.
"Shit."
Nate noticed the wire going inside the house, "it goes inside," he told the two girls.
They quietly opened the door, and entered the house. Kiara clasps her hands onto Nate's as the three walked further into the house. They looked away the house, before a cat startled the three. "Hey," Nate whispered as he pointed towards the wire, above them as they followed it. They turned the room, as they found the breaker as Nate turns it off, making the generator shut down.
The three heard a door open, Nate pulls the two girls away as they backed up against the wall, the three hears Mrs. Crain, wheezing and coughing as she came down the stairs, both Sarah and Kiara held onto Nate tightly.
Nate covered his hand over Kiara's mouth as he whispered in her ear saying everything's gonna be fine, "It's—it's late, Leon," Mrs. Crain got closer to the three. "Too late," Mrs. Crain walked past them, "I can hear you, Leon." Sarah whimpers as she turned towards the tree, "I've been waiting all night!"
Sarah screams as Nate ushered the girls forward, as he went behind them, "go!" He told them.
Kiara went to find a way out as well as Nate and Sarah, Mrs. Crain approaches Kie and tries attacking her with an fire pocker, but Nate grabs the cute pick off her and pushes her away. Before he grabbed Kiara's hand and followed Sarah.
The three headed down into the basement where JJ, John B and Pope were ."Guys! Guys!" the the two girls came running down the stairs.
"Woah, woah, what's going on? Hey." Pope says as he looked at Kiara and Sarah.
"Mrs. Crain! She's up there! She tried to kill us with a fire poker. Guys, we gotta get the fuck out of here." Kiara said as she looked over at him, "We locked her in the parlor, but we gotta go." she told them.
Sarah looked behind her, "Where's Nate?" she questioned as she looked at Kiara. "He was just behind us,"
JJ and Kiara share a worried glance, before she started to walk up the stairs again, but got stopped as Nate came down the stairs.
"Let's go!" Nate told them, as JJ and Pope both told John B there was a code red, and started to pull him up.

"I did it!" John B yells, laughing.
