By sundown, most of them were asleep. Rosalie and Alab were watching horror movies and Vinny was looking through the pantry.
The sky began to storm. Vinny looked over at them. "I'm heading to bed. Don't stay up too late." He said. Alab nodded and Rosalie waved.
About an hour later, the storm became more aggressive. It disturbed Alab so much that they paused the movie for a second. "...Sorry, thought I heard something." They commented sheepishly. "It's fine.. the movies are making the storm irrationally creepy for me too." Rosalie replied. They continue the movie, but Alab heard a noise for sure this time.
They run up to the back door. "What?" Rosalie asked. "Something was banging on it. I swea-" Before Alab finished, the loud banging was heard again. They looked out to see only rainy wood on the porch.
It was curiosity. Insatiable curiosity. Luring. Beckoning. Wanting them to follow. "I'm getting a coat and going out there." Alab says. "You sound like a main character in a slasher film." Rosalie said, rolling her eyes. She looked concerned though.
Alab pulls on a coat and leaves.
