The House - Part 1 of 2

Elise, Alex and Tony had only recently rented out the House. They were siblings, moving from one old home to a new one. It was perfect; two floors, 4 bedrooms, and plenty of outdoor space. The house itself was far out in the country, away from the noise and streets of London that the siblings were so used to.

The locals were strange, and that was putting it mildly. When Alex had asked an old man for directions, he seemed to be on the verge of a heart attack, but pointed them in the right way before speeding back to his own house. This struck them as weird, but they did not know why the old man was scared.

Days past, and the siblings were happy, but now something is happening...

Now the house comes to life...

Elise and Alex had heard Tony scream for help, but thought of it as a joke. It WAS the 31st October, so they had been expecting something anyway, but they decided to check so Tony could have his fun.

But the house was empty. A storm was building up. Suddenly, lightning flashed and the walls and floor and ceiling were coated with evil symbols, drawn in blood. Organs hung from the ceiling, blood dripping to the floor. There was a huge blood stain leading down in the basement. Elise and Alex were horrified, but they stupidly decided that Tony was still alive. They couldn't accept his death without seeing his body themselves.

The basement was pitch black. A torch hung from the wall, so Alex grabbed it and walked forward. The basement seemed to be a giant tunnel of some sort, and after what felt like years of walking they siblings came across a skeleton that had been chained to the wall.

The hollowed body of Tony hung by the neck just above it...
