Witch's House


    Penny and her boyfriend Gavin loved to sneak into abandoned buildings and film everything that goes on in there. They are well known for their videos showing known haunted houses and showing that the rumors are false. Penny and Gavin’s newest mission was to break into a house rumored to be inhabited by a witch.
   
    “Hey babe,” Gavin called to Penny. “did you charge the batteries for the cameras?” Penny rolled her eyes. Gavin has kept talking about the batteries all day there was no way she was going to forget.
   
    “Yes!” Penny yelled. “They are fully charged and ready to go.” Penny shoved the camera equipment into her bag and threw her arms through the straps and secured the backpack tight. She was not about to lose another bag due to it slipping off when they get spooked.
   
    “Did you charge the backups?” Gavin yelled again. Penny puffed up in anger.
   
    “Yes!” Penny yelled stomping her foot. “Get your butt down here now so we can get going.” Gavin came down the stairs and Penny started to laugh. Gavin was wearing all black including a black ski mask. “You look ridiculous.” Penny snatched the mask off Gavin and gave him a kiss. Penny pulled away and looked at Gavin again.
   
    “What?” Gavin asked looking to Penny. “I don’t want to be seen breaking into this house. Penny’s jaw dropped, and she shook her head. She prayed that he was just being funny.
   
    “You do know we post this video of us on the internet, right?” Penny said with a laugh. “Your face is going to be all over the video. You don’t need to wear that.” Penny looked at the clock and saw it was getting late. “We don’t have time to waste making you change so come on let’s get moving.”
   
    The two packed up the car and drove an hour to the destination. The sun was just setting making the house look even creepier. Penny got out or the car and the first thing she noticed was the lack of any animal noises. It was dead silent except for the sound of the light breeze and the creek of the house.
   
    “Creepy.” Gavin said stepping out of the car and looking around. “I hope we find something good this time. I am tired of the lack of content in our videos.” Penny looked to Gavin. Was he being serious, did Gavin really want to be chased by a ghost just so the videos would be more entreating, Penny thought.
   
    “And all the videos of you screaming and running around aren’t entertaining?” Penny said with a chuckle. Penny turned to the house and a cold shiver ran down her spine. “This place is the creepiest one we have visited so far.” Penny smiled this was sure to bring them a ton of views. Penny pulled out her small camera and started to film Gavin.

    “Welcome to our newest adventure.” Gavin said puffing out his chest trying to make himself look braver. “As you see today we are visiting the famous witch house.” Penny paned over to the house and filmed it. Penny’s heart skipped a beat when she saw something move in a window. Penny looked up to the window but nothing. Penny shook it off as just a tree branch shadow or something. Penny panned back to Gavin. “It is rumored that a witch lives here and punishes anyone brave enough to enter her house.” Penny turned the camera to herself now.
   
    “We plan to search the house and see if the rumors are true.” Penny said with a smile. Penny and Gavin then made their way towards the house. Penny kept the camera moving showing different parts of the house. She even zoomed in towards the window she thought she saw something move. Penny and Gavin reached the front door and Penny panned the camera back to Gavin.
   
    “We are about to enter the Witch house.” Gavin said reaching his hand out to open the front door. Gavin turned the knob and gently pulled the door open. Suddenly there was a loud sound, and something flew out of the open front door. Penny ducked out of it’s way and Gavin screamed and ducked. Penny laughed at the way Gavin freaked out about a bird flying out of the house. Penny then panned to the open window in the living room.
   
    “It was just a bird Gavin.” Penny said with a laugh. “It must have flown in though the open window. Gavin stood up and tried to act all tough to cover up his cowardice.
   
    “I was just a bit taken back by the loud noise.” Gavin said puffing out his chest. Penny panned the room but couldn’t see what could have made that sound. That was a bit unsettling but old houses did make strange sounds. Penny and Gavin made their way into the house and looked around. Suddenly the camera showed low batterie symbol.
   
    “There is no way.” Penny said turning the camera around looking at the batterie pack. “This was a fully charged battery when we left.” Penny pulled the dead battery pack out and pushed in a new one.
   
    “I told you to charge them before we left.” Gavin said sounding smug. Penny turned to him and puffed up in anger.
   
    “I did!” Penny shouted. As soon she shouted those words she regretted it. She heard her voice echo through the empty house. The house suddenly creaked and swayed a bit. Penny turned the camera around the room and panned to the front door just in time to catch it slamming shut.
   
    “What the!” Gavin shouted almost jumping out of his clothes. Amber panned back to the window and saw the curtains blowing wildly from the strong winds. Then she heard a faint sound of thunder in the distance.
   
    “There is a storm coming.” Penny said looking to Gavin. “Didn’t you check the weather before we left?”
   
    “Of course, I did.” Gavin said rolling his eyes.
   
    “Did you check the weather for this town?” Penny asked putting her hand on her hip. Gavin’s eyes went wide. “You idiot.” Sure, enough the sound of rain pounding the house could be heard. And the thunder grew louder. Penny walked over to the open window and closed it. “Now we are stuck here until the storm settles.” Penny pulled out her cell phone to try and look at the weather radar just to see the low battery symbol again and her phone die and turn off.
   
    “Forgot to charge your phone too.” Gavin said with a laugh. Penny then chucked her phone at Gavin and it smacked him in the chest. “Hey easy girl. I was just joking.” Penny then looked to her camera and saw the low battery again.
   
    “Something is going on.” Penny said looking up to Gavin. “Something is draining the power in our electronics.” Gavin rolled his eyes and pulled out his phone. Penny smiled as Gavin started to smack it against his palm like that would make the phone work. “See” Penny stuck out her tongue.
   
    “Well this is one interesting adventure.” Gavin said. Suddenly there was a flash of lighting and a huge boom of thunder. This caused Gavin to jump. And the house’s lights flashed on and off.
   
    “You wanted something exciting and here you go.” Penny said with a laugh. Penny looked out the window at the lighting storm. “Maybe all the electricity in the air is causing our electronics to malfunction.” That was when they heard footsteps coming from upstairs. The color in Gavin and Penny’s face drained.
   
    “Someone else is in here.” Gavin said with a stutter. He slowly backed up to the front door. Gavin turned around and grabbed the door handle just to pull away and wave his hand. “Dang the doorknob is electrified. I just got a shock.” Penny looked out the window and saw there was a lot of flashes of lightning.
   
     “This storm is bad.” Penny said looking at Gavin’s burnt hand. “The house must be attracting the lightning. Don’t touch anything metal.” Both jumped when they heard a door slam.
   
    “I knew we shouldn’t have come here.” Gavin said shaking. Penny shook her head at her strong boyfriend.
   
    “We need to see who that is.” Penny said looking up the stairs. “Maybe they are stuck here too.” Penny then realized there was no other car or car tracks leading to the house, but there was the open window. Gavin nodded and the two made their way up slowly to the next floor. Gavin cowered behind Penny. Penny didn’t know why she stayed with such a scaredy cat. There was only one room upstirs. The door was cracked open a bit. That worried Penny because she knew that the door had slam shut so someone had to open the door again. Penny pushed the door open and they crept slowly in.
   
    “Penny please lets just go back downstairs and wait out the storm.” Gavin said hiding his head in Penny’s back. Penny rolled her eyes. If it wasn’t for the good sex and the videos she was sure she would have dumped Gavin a long time ago. Penny walked into the room and saw that it was a bedroom. Penny saw an open window with the curtains flapping crazy.
   
    “See it was just an open window.” Penny said walking over to the window. Penny closed the window. Penny then knew this was the window she saw something move in. Her heart started to pound because she knew this window was not always open. Penny turned around and let out a scream as she saw a figure standing behind Gavin.
   
    “Trespassers are not welcome.” The old lady said in a raspy voice. Gavin turned to face the woman. The woman placed a finger on Gavin’s forehead and Gavin froze. Penny gasped as she saw a tail snake its way out of Gavin’s pants. Gavin’s ears started to get pointy and move to the top of his head. Penny’s heart started to beat faster. Her boyfriend was being turned into a cat right before her eyes. Penny couldn’t believe that for once the rumors were true.
   
    “Help me.” Gavin pleaded. Penny wanted to help but she couldn’t move.
   
    “It will be over soon.” The witch said looking to Penny. Penny looked to Gavin as he started to shrink and fall onto all fours. Soon Gavin disappeared into his clothes.
   
    “Why are you doing this?” Penny squeaked out. The old woman bent down and pulled Gavin out from his clothes. Gavin was now a complete cat.
   
    “You broke into my house.” The witch said putting Gavin down. The witch took a few steps towards Penny. “Now what to do with you.” Penny just let out a squeak form fear. The witch smiled. The witch touched a wrinkly finger to Penny’s forehead and Penny felt a surge of electricity course through her. Penny felt itchy all over as gray fur started to sprout all over her. She felt a tail push its way out from her pants. Penny then saw what kind of animal she was turning into as the tail was not covered in fur. Penny tried to cry out but all that came out was a very mouse sounding squeak. Penny felt her ears get more round and bigger. Penny looked to the witch as she started to shrink. The witch waved bye to Penny as she disappeared into her clothes. Penny wasn’t in the dark for long as the witch moved Penny’s clothes uncovering a very tiny scared mouse. “Don’t you look cute.” The witch then turned to Gavin. “I wouldn’t stay in the open for long. I am sure your boyfriend here is a bit hungry.” All Penny could think of was run, flee find safety. Penny saw the cat stalk towards her. Penny squeaked and took off towards a hole in the wall.
