Haunted

It took about an hour to get to the house. It looked even worse in the dark. The windows were covered with vines and the ones that weren’t covered were broken. The paint was chipping away and the wood was rotting. Weeds were covering the lawn. Marcel took the lead as they walked through the front door. The inside was worse than the outside. Graffiti covered the peeling wallpaper and floors. Beer cans and other paraphernalia littered the floors. Reiner saw a few warnings on the walls like “Go Away.” Or “All Who Enter Die” there were a few Buzzfeed:Unsolved quotes on the walls too.
“Oh hells yea!” Jean suddenly said as he walked towards a spot on the floor. It was a pentagram in red spray paint.
“Oh Lord…” Marcel groaned as he shook his head.
Jean lied down on the pentagram and spread his arms and legs out.
“Here we go!” He shouted with a grin on his face
“You’re out of your mind.” Armin said
“Rock and Roll, Buckaroo!”
“Ignore him.” Armin said. “He doesn’t believe in ghosts but he wants to fuck Mothman and get possessed as a joke.”
“This demon’s a wimp!” Jean said while still lying on the pentagram.
“The demon’s probably scared of you.” Marcel said.

Armin gave Reiner a rundown on the house. Which rooms weren’t safe to sleep in, which stairs were unstable, which Chandelier was loose, and a hand-drawn map with notes on each part of the house on it. Armin also lent him a spirit box and EMP. Armin and Marcel managed to drag Jean from the pentagram after he said he would make “Satan his whore.”. Marco would pick him up at 6AM. They left at 10:30. Reiner had almost nine hours to kill. Reiner immediately put his backpack down on a clean enough part of the living room floor and dug out his meds. Two for his depression, one for anxiety, and one for ADHD. He rolled his sleeping bag out and grabbed the thermal camera his dad had for hunting. He set it up on a tripod and grabbed his flashlight as he left the living room. The first two hours were uneventful. He had covered the entire first floor with nothing unusual. He decided to go upstairs and check out the rooms and the attic. He took the stairs by the window seat. Reiner opened Armin’s map and saw two notes by the window seat and stairs. “Ben Hoover seen at Window Seat.” And “Jack chasing Alexander, Sophie, and Rowan downstairs.” Reiner decided to turn the EMP on to see if there were any spikes. Shockingly, there were none. The EMP remained the same as he covered the rooms of the Elder Hoover’s and where four of the younger girls slept. Reiner walked down the hall that Henry Hoover’s office was and the library that Audra was frequently seen in. Reiner opened the door to the library and walked in. All the books were still on the shelves and there was a stack on the table with one still open with a wooden bookmark in place. A pair of reading glasses sat on the stack of books as if they were waiting for their owner that would never return. Reiner looked at the map and saw a note from Armin. “Throw a book from the desk.” Without hesitating, Reiner picked up the book on the top of the pile and threw it across the room. It bounced off the wall and landed on the floor with a dull thud. Reiner waited for a minute before leaving to see if anything would happen. When the book didn’t move from its spot, Reiner couldn’t help but feel disappointed. He left the library but not before taking the bookmark out from the open book and making a mental note of what page it was in before shutting it.
