Chapter 25

Ganon and Zel came back with a board and some ropes. They lowered them down.

"Alright, grab onto these and hold on tight. Do not let go." Zel said to Detaleny. We managed to get him out, thankfully.

"That plan failed." Detaleny said.

"Yeah, because you didn't watch what you were doing." Ganon snapped.

"We almost had the bastard." Zel said.

"Guys, I think he feels shitty enough." I said to them. All of us started heading back inside. Cinnamon was running around pulling up her shirt, showing off her fat rolls.

"Hey, chunky lard tard, put your shirt down. People don't want to see that" I said to her.

"I'm BEAUTIFUL" She said as she was prancing around.

"About as beautiful as a murder site" I muttered.

A creme colored fluffy dog limped into the room. It was Della, Detalenys dog. Della was blind and partially deaf. I didn't like it when Cinnamon would mistreat her, so I always kept her upstairs with me when I had the chance. Della was a pomeranian and sheltie mix. I put her upstairs in my bedroom so Cinnamon would leave her alone.

"Zel, make sure no one hurts Della, you know she's a little old lady with four paws and a tail. Cinnamon could hurt her." I told him.

"Alright." He said.

"I'm going for a walk." I said. I headed outside. The sun was shining, about to set so it started to get cooler. I walked into the backyard, past the hole we dug to trap Pete. There was an area in the back with tall grass. I decided to check it out.

As I walked up to the area, I noticed what looked like gravestones. They looked aged and some were even knocked over. I couldn't make out the names on it. I didn't know the history of the mansion before Fran got the deed. What was this place? Was it a church? A plantation house? Was this a family plot? I needed to do some investigation of my own to figure it out. I walked back up to the house. The best way to figure this out was to talk to Fran about it.

"Fran!" I called to her.

"What?" She asked as she turned around.

"Where did you get the deed to this place? I want to find out more about it. Do you know anything about it?" I asked.

"This place was once a funeral home, but it was turned into a private residence and I rent the other rooms out to tenants." She said.

"Funeral home? What was it called?" I asked.

"Seven Groves Resting Place" She said.

"Seven Groves. Alright thanks." I said as I raced back up the stairs. I sat back down at my computer and typed in "Seven Groves"

"Seven Groves Funeral Parlor: Established in 1765. Seven Groves was ran and operated by Archie Taylor. When Taylor died in 1832, Seven Groves was turned into a private residence. Some say the spirits of the dead still haunt Seven Groves" I read. That confirmed my suspicions about the mansion being haunted.

I had some weird experiences here, so I needed to know the history. I read more. It had pictures of what the place looked like before it was converted into a private residence. One picture in particular creeped me out. It was the room next to mine. In there, it showed a casket, and what looked like some sort of ritual. A chill went down my spine.

"Zel, can you get Ganon to come in here? This is his room." I said. Zel was confused and came up to me and looked over my shoulder to see what I was talking about.

"So this place used to fix up corpses for burial? MMMM Makes me hungry." Zel said as he was walking towards the door. I heard him get Ganon.

"Yeah, this house is supposed to be haunted or something." He said to Ganon.

"I doubt it." Ganon said and he brushed it off.

"Ganon, your room was where they would hold some sort of ritual or something according to this article." I said to him.

"Are you sure someone didn't just make it up? You know how people are over the internet." Ganon said.

Chapter 24

"So here is the plan, I will have Eliza and Detaleny lure Pete." I said.

"What??" Detaleny started.

"I thought I was back up!" He stammered. I glanced at him and smiled.

"I changed my mind. You will be joining Eliza." I said to him.

"Oh great, not only do I have to deal with the fat man, but I have to deal with the whiney idiot too?" Eliza started to complain.

"Yup." I said to her.

I heard a familiar rumble from the front of the house, it was Pete's car.

"Guys, did we figure out how we're going to do this? We don't have much time." I said to them.

"We get Eliza and Detaleny to lure him and we push him." Zel said.

"Thats it?" I questioned it.

"Yup." Ganon said.

"Well good luck pushing him in." I said to them.

"You're helping." Zel said.

"No I'm not. I can't do that in my condition." I said to him.

"What?" He started.

"Don't argue with me. Parker! Eliza! Get the fat man!" I ordered them. They went around front to get Pete. I could feel him coming this way through the ground. His heaviness like an earthquake.

Eliza went around the hole, but Detaleny fell in. Great. Pete stopped short as Detaleny fell.

"Shit!" Detaleny yelled as he fell in.

"Parker!" I screamed at him.

"There goes our plan, he foiled it." Zel muttered to himself. I was trying to think of a way to get him out.

"We need a rope." I said to them.

"No, he should stay in there. He ruined our plan." Ganon said.

"We can't leave him in there, there is no food, no water, and he wouldn't be very comfortable, so could you guys help me get him out?" I asked. They started walking towards the storage shed to see if there were ropes and other means of getting someone out.

"Alright Parker, we will get you out." I said to him.

"Please help!" He yelled up to me. I didn't know what else to do. I couldn't tell Fran, she was already pissed at us.

"The guys are trying to get ropes to get you out." I said to him.
