Did I mention I hate Halloween?
I didn't bother them, why did they find such a need to bother me? Dumb college kids, running about drunk and stupid. Make it Halloween and all Hell breaks loose.
Gimme a break. I didn't ask for my aunt's old house, it's just what came in the will. The fact that it's creepy as hell isn't my business either. Not everyone can afford to keep their house in good repair. Especially when they just got it a month ago.
At first I thought it was funny that my aunt had left me the haunted house in the neighborhood. Dark shutters, peeling paint, creaky doors. Yes, it was scary looking. Yes, it looked abandoned. Yes, she had died in her bed there. But a free house was something I couldn't pass up and slowly but surely I was putting it back together.
For now, it was still the haunted house of the neighborhood, and the college kids decided a trip back to adolescent memories would be just the ticket. Stoop around the house, and dare someone to go in. Or be real assholes like last night and throw eggs at the back. Wish I hadn't locked my guns up in my safe that night.
I was cranky from trying to get those eggs off all morning and searching for a job all day. I was simply not in the mood for some prissy girls and their douchebag boyfriends to fart around on my property. If they decided to do something dumb, well, it wasn't my fault they had wandered up here.
Besides, if they wanted a good Halloween scare, the first one that came in would get it.
I heard the front door creak as it swung open. I stealthily dropped to my knees in my bedroom the floor above, peering through a hole in the wood that gave me a clear view down to the front door. At least she was cute.
About five foot ten, and a brunette, this girl boasted some above average breasts and long legs. She finished off the beer in her hand before tossing it on my floor, the glass bottle bouncing down the entrance hallway. She giggled behind her at some unseen friends that must be out in my front lawn and closed the door.
She took a few tentative steps forward and ignored the working light switch I had installed yesterday, instead flicking on a flashlight. She was clearly in the Halloween spirit, wearing a skimpy school girl outfit. A low cut white blouse showed off the black bra underneath, and she was practically exploding out of the shirt anyway. A red plaid miniskirt made it maybe halfway down her thighs, and I had a feeling there wasn't any underwear underneath. She smoking, the dream of perverted porn watchers with a schoolgirl fetish worldwide.
Fine. We can both have fun here.
I knew the back ways of my house better than anyone else and certainly better than a slightly tipsy college girl. Within a minute of her slow exploration of my house I was behind her, sneaking closer.
She almost shrieked as she accidentally knocked a nightstand over. Then she did try to shriek, but I had already put the bag over her head and muffled her cries with my hand.
