heres a story i wrote for LA:
Some people swore that the house was haunted. But all they had to back up their claims was the stories other people told them. Most of them were fake too just to make themselves look cool. Posers. But I knew what was true because I was there at the hunted house on Elainey drive. Most people just called it The Ell House because the young women that lived there was Ell Lovi.
She was a beautiful art student with her red curly hair and freckles. She was studying photography in high school as a senior and was almost perfect the only thing that stopped her perfection was that she wasn’t that nice and got B’s and C’s in school. Also she lived with her dad and they always fought. But why does all that matter? Why does she matter? Well little voice in my head she matters because she was kidnapped.
Yes she was kidnapped and held in a house for about 5 years. When she was about 18 she was home one night alone of course and there was a robbery while she was upstairs. She ran down stairs and got knocked out. When she awoke she was in a totally new house smack in the middle of town but no one looked at it because it was hidden really well. That house became The Ell House. She lived there for 5 years then the man that held her got sick of her screaming and constant annoying behavior and well…she was killed. Her soul never left that house only for the purpose of haunting the man that kept her there for the rest of his life. He went crazy and thought electricity was a myth, tested his theory and died.
So now there are 2 souls there in that house. Their both mean, one because she was bitter to begin with then being there made her just plane evil. And he was mean because of her. They don’t like anyone. She doesn’t like men. And He doesn’t like women. So really if you go in there your going to be in for some bad stuff.
Back to me. Why was in the wretched house? Well it was nothing like a dare or my ball went in there and I had to get it. No, I wanted to. I know crazy. Why would anyone want to go in there? I wanted to see it for myself, see what all the hype was about. Well it wasn’t terrible. I had my 2 best friends there too. Sami Becker and Will Paymel. They wanted to go too. I guess we were all crazy.
So it was 2 days before we went to The Ell House. We went in the summer when we all had free time not on Halloween like all the lame movies do. We were in the wood’s our meet spot where we go whenever were seeing each other. It’s all close to each others house. There’s a hammock and some really good climbing trees too if we get bored. But we never do. There’s always something to do or talk about. That day it was how we’re going to get our parents to let us go to the house. There was the classic ‘tell you parents you’re sleeping at each others house.’ But that works best with just two people, not three. There’s ‘tell your parents the truth’ but really 3 kids in a hunted house for a night? Yeah like they would go for that. Or ‘tell them it’s for school’ but what teacher would make you go to a haunted house for school? We were totally blank on ideas. Then suddenly Sami yelled “How ‘bout we say were going to a sleepover and would be out all night?!” now I know that sounds just as crazy as the last three ideas but it was to us it was perfect because we knew someone that was having a sleep over and invited us but we said we couldn’t because we were going to The Ell House.
So the next day I called her and she thought it was great. Then I thought “but what if our parents call for us and were not there?” I asked her and she asked her mom if it was ok if they were to say we were there when we weren’t. She said it was fine. She wanted to know really what was up with that house too, so she was up for it. Then I called Sami and Will and we all told our parents about the sleep over and they all agreed. We were all stoked. The next day we were going to The Ell House! But nothing was the same after that day.
so ya like??
