The Witching hour

Prologue
1954- Chipping Campden. England. Witching hour.

a low, mournful cry echoed throughout the dark mansion. A girl, who seemed to be around the age of 6 sat in a corner, shivers wracking her small frame. Her dull brown eyes studied the room she was in. Empty. Dark. Cold. So similar to the rest of the mansion. She had not meant to get locked in here. It had just been a bit of fun at first! That awful girl Terri had dared her to go inside. The girl hugged herself a little tighter, feeling tears gathering in her eyes. Why was it so cold here? It was quite warm outside afterall. even this late at night. Her eyes strayed to her cuts on her arms. Bruises shaped liked fingerprints were starting to form. A low sob erupted from her throat. No matter how alone she felt.. she was not. The creature was always there.. watching.. waiting.. waiting for the right moment to finish her. Her eyes darted frantically around the room, straining to catch a glimpse of the creature to no avail. She shuddered slightly as up above her something moved. She was trapped.

The girl suddenly heard footsteps. Where? The stairs! No.. please no.. It was coming. Coming for her. The girls eyes widened in horror and she scrambled to her feet. She looked around frantically. Somewhere to hide.. But where? Of course! The girl ran to the wardrobe. She flung open the doors and jumped inside, shutting the doors behind her. Just in time. The girl hugged herself tightly and tried to not breathe. It was here. In the room. She felt fresh tears building in her eyes but stiffled a whimper. She heard the deep breathing. Dide it know she was here? No.. It couldn't. Impossible! Her heart started to race as she heard the footsteps move closer to the wardrobe. A bead of sweat ran down her face but she dared not move. Suddenly the doors were flung open. Charlotte Endosys looked up into the eyes of her attacker and let out a loud blood-curdling scream, heard only by herself, the creature and that large empty house.

CHAPTER 1
54 YEARS LATER

2008- Chipping Campden. England. 7.00pm. 5th January

"You're joking!" Ariana Clarke laughed, staring at her twin brother with wary eyes. "That did so not happen!"
Darren grinned at her, his eyes sparkling with mirth. "It sure did Ari." he smirked.
"Liar" she snapped, her hair turning a dark red colour. She pouted and crossed her arms. She hated it when he made fun of her fear of scary stories.
"No seriously" Darren pushed, serious now. "A little girl called Charlotte got trapped in that mansion. The next day.. her parents went in to find her.. Guess what they found?"
"...What?" Ari asked warily, her hair turning it's usual dark purple.
"It was awful. She had been dismembered! Her parents kept finding an odd limb here and there and there was this wardrobe in the downstairs bedroom which was covered in blood and stuff." Darren finished in a grim tone.
Ari stared at her brother in shock and felt slightly ill. "Oh my god.." she whispered. "how awful.."
Darren nodded. "mmhmm. I heard the parents went insane after everything they saw."
Ari bit her lip and hugged her legs from where she was sat. The setting was a cosy living room with a warm fire blazing merrily. Darren and his sister lived together alone in the small and peaceful town of Chipping Campden. They lived alone, their parents having been killed when they were young. They had spent most of their lives in a orphanage, but decided to move into the old family home when they reached 17 years old.

Darren was a big storyteller, he loved to tease his sister yet was fiercly protective of her. With his jet black hair with dark blue streaks, bright blue eyes and tanned skin, he was considered a ladies man, and many girls in the village had thier eyes on him. But he wasn't interested. Not yet. He wanted to see the world!
Ari however.. was timid. She relied on Darren a lot but always knew how to calm him down when he got too carried away with an idea he had. She had an interesting ability. She could change her hair colour and style at will. It sometimes ranged on her emotions but she could control it. Her usual style was purple curly hair which was shoulder length and light purple eyes. All in all. Darren and Ari were a team. Always have been and always will be. Ari always stuck by Darren when he had a crazy idea..

"No absolutely not!"

But.. then again.. Things change.

Ari glared at Darren in distaste. "I am NOT going up to that house to spend several nights there with your stupid friend Prop and his cousin Candy!"
Darren sighed. "Oh come on Ari! You're not scared of that story I told you are you? It's just an old legend! Besides. It happened years ago!"
Ari shook her head. "That isn't it Darren! It's an invasion of property, breaking and entering. It's illegal!"
Darren stared at her for a moment. "...What's your point?"
"UGH!" Ari threw her hands into the air in exasperation
Darren rolled his eyes. "Chill out! It's not like we're gonna get caught! We go in, we come out. badda bing badda boom! Legend disproved! No ghost." He grinned. "We will be town heroes!" he stood up and posed dramatically.
Ari raised an eyebrow at him. "uh huh. Right..Yeah. Not happening."
Darren's bottom lip started to tremble and he stared at Ari with wide eyes.
"No.. not the face!" Ari groaned, running a hand through her hair. "Ok fine! But don't make me regret th-..OOF!" she cried, for Darren had swept her into a hug.
"You won't regret it sis!" he grinned, turning to look out of the window.
Ari also looked and spotted the old mansion. There was something dark and foreboding about that place.. She stole a look at her brother whose face was determined and sighed. She had no choice now. Darren was as stubborn as a rock. Nothing. Nothing at all would change his mind.

[MadHatter :D]

[Candy Redwood]

I know! X3 lol

[MadHatter :D]

CHAPTER 2
6th January 2008. 7.00pm

He grinned, the light breeze running through his tousled hair, making it messier. He leant against the motorbike and looked around without any interest. "Where the heck is he?" Darren muttered to himself in annoyance. He caught a girl staring at him and smirked, giving her a wink. The girl blushed and started to giggle like crazy. "Aww to hell with it." Darren muttered. "I'll just head home. Prop knows where I live." He sat on the bike and kicked it into life. He flicked up the collar of his leather jacket, put on his shades and grinned at the girls around him one last time before he sped off.
"Did you see that?"
"omigod Tiffany he SO winked at you!"
"Eee! Darren Clarke LOOKED at you! oh my GOD!"
The chatter of the excited girls followed him as he raced off and he laughed to himself. He sped up slightly and spun dangerously around a corner, grinning as his heart started to race. Suddenly he heard the sounds of a police siren and groaned. "oh great.." he thought about pulling over then laughed at the idea. "Nothing like a good old fashion cop chase!" He skidded round a sharp corner dangerously and started to pick up speed.
"Stop! This is the police! pull over immediately!"
"In your dreams" Darren smirked and once again turned a sharp corner and skidded quickly to avoid crashing with a bright blue motorcycle.
"Holy Shit Prop!" Darren laughed, gaining control of the bke and his eyes were immediately drawn to a blonde haired chipette wearing rocker style clothing who had her arms wrapped around Prop's stomach.
"fancy meeting you here my friend!" Prop smirked, also not wearing any protective gear.
"what say you we ditch these losers and meet up with Ari?" Darren asked cheerfully.
"What a perfectly wonderful idea!" Prop replied.
With this they both started to speed up and turned and sped down a alleyway.
"We've got them now sarge! This here's a dead end!" PC Bukkit practically screamed, looking like he was going to wet himself in excitement.
"We'll only rest when I have them in custody Bukkit!" Sargent Jenkins roared as the police cruiser followed the bikers.

Darren saw the two wooden ramps which would take them up over the wall and away from Sargent spit and PC plod.
"You ready?" He yelled to Prop and the un-named chipette who he guessed was Prop's cousin Candy.
"Sure am!" Prop grinned and the Chipette simply rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Here..we..GO!" Darren laughed and they both rode up the ramp and practically flew over the wall to land safely on the road.
"WHOOHOOO!" Prop & Darren yelled in delight
Sargent Jenkins and PC Bukkit stared in shock.
"I don't.. but..they..I.." Bukkit stammered.
"FIND THEM!" Jenkins snapped furiously and waited for Bukkit to start up the car again.

Darren laughed. "Did you see their faces?"
"sure did! Kodak moment or WHAT?" Prop grinned.
"God I love driving those guys nuts." Darren smirked and pulled into his drive. He pushed a button on his garage and took the bike inside.
Prop followed him, still chuckling at the memory. Darren took off his shades and grinned at Prop.
"Good to have you back buddy."
"Good to be back."
Darren's eyes were then drawn to the girl getting off the bike. She was around 15 years old. She had long blonde hair which was wavy and she allowed it to be let down. She had piercing amythest eyes. She was wearing a dark blue shirt with a black leather jacket over it, a short black leather skirt and high boots. Darren's looked her up and down in approval. Nice.
"My eyes are up here thank you" The girl snapped, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Sorry. Sorry." he chuckled and looked at her. "I'm Darren."
"I guessed. I'm Candy." she replied coldly.
"Great." he replied, equally as coldly. God this girl was such a bitch.
"uh.. So.. Where's Ari?" Prop asked nervously.
"Living room. C'mon" Darren moved his eyes away from Candy's face and walked into the house.
"Promise to be nice" Prop hissed at Candy.
"I'm never nice. But i'll try my best to be...sweet." Candy replied in a dull tone.
Prop sighed and followed Darren. Candy shrugged and walked after him. This was going to be a LONG week...
