You Find Your Hell Is Home

*Andy's POV*

I woke up early one day, we been to about 10 of the 15 houses we planned on going to, it was almost the third week now. We had 5 more houses, Jinxx house and then Saint Helens Asylum. After seeing that 'You all will regret this.' It really scared me and the other guys. Jinxx was still having nightmares and there is times he would whimper or scream. We didn't know what to do anymore and he just got more and more shaking up. It was to a point that even awake he would freak out. I didn't want to believe his story, about the ghost following him or that dreams he been having. I didn't want to believe anything, but when your driving and he's screaming bloody murder in the back seat at nothing. I don't know what to believe anymore. I looked at all of them and they all seem to be asleep. I knew where to go for the next houses. So far, we didn't find anything that happen to the families of the kids Logan target 15 years ago. It was like someone wripped the houses clean of any clues. I was hoping that we would find something in the next house. Jinxx even seen things in the other houses. I'm starting to think that he's able to see more then we can.

I looked at a map and in the mirror to see all the guys sleeping. Jinxx was whimpering in his sleep again, it really hurt to see my friend suffer from something I can't help him with. I looked at the map before looking at the house that was in front of me. It belong to one of the kids, I parked in the driveway and got out to look around the house to see if I could get into it somehow. It's abandon so no one lived here. You don't want a house that a family disappeared from. I was walking back to the van to wake up the guys and there was an old woman standing there looking into the van. This creep me out a bit and I stopped and called over to her.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" She turned and face me with a kind smile.

"You shouldn't be here son, this house is haunted. Though I can see you and your friends are looking into the Saint Helens Asylum mystery." Okay this was really creepy that she just knew that. "I mean you're not the only group of young people thinking you can find out what happen. Many tried and many disappeared with out a trace. You are looking up something that should have been bury in the past. And having a medium with you is the worse you can ever do in a case like this." What the hell does she mean a medium.

"What are you even talking about? Medium are them people that can see ghost. I'm sure that no one in my group can do that. I mean I have a friend who suffers from nightmares, but there is no way he can be a medium. He would have told us about it." I wanted her away from the van, away from us.

"See, that's where you are wrong boy, some mediums don't know their gifts, they take it as a nightmare coming to life and fearing it. The one, all the way in the back. He's a medium and I'm sure he told you about ghost and weird things happening to him. If I was you, don't take him to Saint Helens Asylum. You will regret it....all of you boys." With that she walked away and down the road.

I was a little freaked out by her and I'm never freaked out by anyone. I walked to the van and open the door. "Guys, it's time to get up. We are at the next house." They just all goan and sit up before getting ready. I went back to looking around for a open spot. If Jinxx was a medium, then the ghost girl is something he really sees. I found a loose board and pulled at it to get to the open window. "Hey guys! I found a way into this one. Just be careful, there was an old woman around here. I don't know where she went."

"Andy, you really think this is good? Jinxx isn't getting better. This is the 11th house and he's not getting any better. We need to stop this, we know what's going on with him now." CC just walked up to me when everyone else was getting ready yet. He was begging me to stop this but we needed to push on. The only way I face my fears were when I face them head on.
"You know my thought on this CC. He's not going to get better until he mans up and face the fear. We are all about standing up to our demons. The best place to go is to that most haunted place of his home town. These houses are only stops to find out more about the kids that were in that place. Another thing was going back to his house. Yes him and Travis already did that, to face their demons with the house. But he's getting worse, something isn't right and we need him, we aren't a band without him and he's getting bad enough that someone would throw him into a mental hospital if he keeps up his talking. I'm sorry I'm being harsh, but we need to keep going. 6 more houses, and the asylum...." He just sighed and help me move the board and get me into the house.

I pulled out my light on my phone and looking around the house. Like the others, everything was still here. I walked around known the guys would come following soon. I was looking for an office, or places they would keep important papers. I heard the guys slowing come into the house, through the window I did. They all went their own ways. I heard one of them going upstairs, one down to the basement, another one upstairs and the other one looking around the first floor with me. I walked into the living room and found pictures. There was a happy family with three kids. One was dress in all black, had color hair and never smiling in any of them. This was probably the kid they lost. I picked up the picture and looks on the back. It didn't have names on it. The other two kids were younger then the one that never smile. It was sad to see this kind of thing, everyone so happy but the outcast.

I moved to another room, there was a office in the back of it and I walked into it. I looked around, there were papers all over the place like it was just throwing. I look around on the desk until I found something that said Saint Helens Asylum. This was the first clue ever. Guess no one ever got to this house because of that woman. I picked up the paper, and begin reading it.

' Dear Mr and Mrs Ivy,

We are sorry to contact you under this, but we will be keeping your daughter with us. She isn't getting any better. Dr. Logan is her new doctor and he will be taking over for her. Please, if you have any questions at all come see us or call. We are trying our best to help her, but treatments are not going too well. Logan thinks he can help her. Again, we are sorry.

Nurse Jamie'

"Yeah, helped her right to her death...." I sighed and looked around and heard something moving around me. Soon the books flew off the shelves and right at me. If I didn't get back fast enough as I did, I would have been hit by them. "What the fuck?" That's when I heard Jinxx scream and I ran up the stairs to where it was coming from. "Jinxx!"

CC was there before me and just in front of him. He was shaking looking like he was about ready to cry. Jinxx never fucking cried unless something really got to him. We all know that, we all seen him at his weakest in the past. I walked over to him and looked at CC before looking at Jinxx again. His eyes were blank and something I never seen before.

"Come on, your can't do this now Jinxx." CC helped him up and looked around the room. "Andy, we should go, I don't feel safe in here right now.

"It's not safe, the family don't want us here." We both looked at Jinxx in shock. "Andy, I know you found something. They didn't like that. They attacked me because you are looking up something you really shouldn't be. They said 'let Ayliana rest, she had enough suffering'." He just looked at me.

"What the hell did you find?" CC was just there, soon Ashley and Jake were in the room. I'm starting to think the creepy old woman was right.

"I found a paper in the study. A nurse told them that no one could help their daughter and that she was going to be kept there. That Logan could help her." The guys all looked at me. "Jinxx, are they still here?" He just nods and pointed over to the bed. We all were freak out now because no one was there. "Okay, then what happen to them?"

"They don't want to talk about it. They said what happen is because of Logan. But we need to stop the looking around and go home. We will end up like all the others." Jinxx's eyes were just staring at the place of the family was standing.

"I know they don't want things dig up, but we need to help you face whatever the nightmare is. To do that, we need to go to the Asylum and need to find out everything about it." He just looks at me, the fear in his eyes killed me.

"Andy, you need to stop this. You're not fucking helping!" CC was getting pissed off at me, I could see the other two agreeing with him.

"They said the other families don't want us in their houses, if we don't turn back, they will take us out before we even get to the Asylum. They said we need to stop snooping, the only one that will tell us is Logan and he's been gone for years. They said we have been warn, go to any more houses after this one, and they will make sure we disappear." That fast, Jinxx just fell to the ground and was out cold. We all ran to his side and trying wake him up. I felt something cold push me and the others away from him. It was a powerful force that it slammed us all into a wall.

"Andy, I had enough of this....this was the most stupid idea you ever had!" Jake was really freaking and we just seen Jinxx laying there, something was holding us against the wall that we couldn't move. We watch in horror that Jinxx screamed like something was happening to him. "JINXX!!!" Jake was fighting to get free but he couldn't.

"Okay! I'm sorry! Just let him be!!!!" I yelled at any ghost I couldn't see. Soon he stopped scream and we all fell to the floor as the force disappeared. We run over to Jinxx. CC and Jake grabbed him and we moved out of the house and back to the van. They put him in the back and cover him with blankets. He freezing, like he was outside during winter with nothing on but his normal clothes. I was a little shaking up and just looking at the house. Soon the old woman scared the shit out of all of us that we screamed.

"I told you boy, you're digging up something the families don't want to you digging up. You got the taste of what they can do to you. When a soul dies and is in rage, they can hurt you a lot. You boys need to go home and forget about this mystery, I'm sure they used your friend to tell you they don't want you around. So turn away, get him help some another way. And don't go to Saint Helens." She just stared me down. The look in her eyes was one that told me, you will regret it.

"Who the hell are you anyways? First you tell me that my friend's a medium and then you know what happen in the house without being there? Who are you and why do you know so much?" I had to ask and the guys were just looking at me.

"I am the one that tried to give them peace. Their children were hard to help. All of them suffer from things like Depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicide, self-harm, insomnia, Schizoprenic, went mute or had bipolar. The really bad cases that no one can help. Logan thought he knew everything and when no one agree with his treatments. They all tried to pulled their kids out. Logan was a powerful man, evil too. They said he was a demon, only one child ever got out of there, and that child was never heard from again. Please you kids know nothing about this mystery and it's to stay bury. You're all going to get yourselves killed if you're not careful. That's why them families are gone. Logan had them pull to death. And my name is Jamie." My eyes widen.

"Nurse Jamie, the one that wrote the letter to them about their daughter. You use to work at Saint Helens...." I watched her nod. "So then you know the child that got away. Who was it? Are they alive yet? Can you tell us anything about that child. Or where we can find him or her?"

"Give up on this ghost adventure kid. I might be a nurse from there, but I can promise you. Logan is around, he haunts that building and he's not a nice guy. You all have one thing in common and that's Anxiety. But you kid, you're also one that suffers from imsomnia and schizophrenic. He would have fun with you." I was froze in my spot, how the fuck did she know that. "Just like he has somewhat of depression and anxiety. The other two probably the same thing not as bad though." She was looking at CC and he was just shaking. We all know CC, he zones out a lot because of having a friend close to him gone now. He was upset more then normal. "And the medium, you need to really get him help, making him face his fears can destory him." I notice she didn't bother answering about the kid that got away.

"How can you tell that from all of us?" CC was just looking at her, the other two just got in the van, they were all scared. "I mean, you know a lot about things like this. Not most nurses do, only the doctors do."

"It's because I worked with Logan before he went mad. He was a kind guy, sweet and only ever wanted to help the kids over come things. I don't know what happen to him that one day, but he just went mad, drilling holes into the side of the kids heads to fuck up their brains, putting them in straight Jackets, put them in the most coldest places in the Asylum and watch them freeze until he decided they had enough. He would lock them in small rooms, alone to make them freak out, He would tied them to beds and shock them. He did all the horrible things when he went mad. He found their screams welcoming." I was trying to be brave, but hearing this really scared the shit out of me.

"Andy we should go, maybe she's right, it's time to go home. Jinxx needs real help. We can't lose him." CC just got in the van, but I didn't care. This made me want to go more now. I walked to the driver side of the van.

"You been warn Andy....Stay away....this is the LAST warning." I went to look up at her and she was gone. I frown before getting in the car and driving to a rest stop. The other houses weren't on the list anymore. Jinxx already went in his old house with his brother so we weren't going to bother with that one either. Next stop after resting will be the Asylum, they might think I'm going home but not yet.

When I did park the van, everyone made their beds, I seen CC and Jake checking on Jinxx who was still asleep. I lay down on the seat in the front and closed my eyes. When I did, I was walking around a woods, it was really dark and things were just moving, running in the shadows where I couldn't see them. What really got to me was the girl in the picture. She jumped down in front of me and looked me in the eyes. She was moving with me, wouldn't let me go past her. Soon she smirked at me and took her fingers digging them into her chest and ripping out her heart. It was still beating and she was just looking at it before looking at me with a bigger smirk now. I backed away trying to get away from her and she smirked more thrown her heart at me. I seen it coming for my face and something was holding me in place that I couldn't run. I closed my eyes waiting for the hit.

I woke up and looked around in horror, to realize I was in the van, I could hear the guys all sleeping yet and I just looked around. Soon on the window in front of me. I seen the writing like we all seen before. 'Come to the Asylum or he's dead.' That fast, Jinxx scared bloody murder and everyone shot out of their seat in fear and looking around before Jinxx woke up and looked at all of us. We looked at the window again and then back at Jinxx.

"We are in this too deep guys.....we should have just stay home." Jinxx was just crying now, curled up on the seat, crying. I looked at the others and they all nodded. Tomorrow morning, we head to the Asylum.
