Sixth Sense
Run, we need to get a way!
Guys run!
This isnt good, we need to get out of here and now!
LEAVE THEM ALONE!
Exploring places was something you had done since you were young, being the youngest and the only girl in your group of cousins, you wanted to show them you werent scared to explore abandoned places, or even haunted places. Your old home town was founded as an army base during the civil war and saw blood shed for the first give or take 100 years of its existence, which caused the places you and your cousins to explore to be haunted. Fast forward to present day, you no longer live in your hometown, but live in Santa Monica, California with a mundane job to pay for the overly expensive loft you were renting. You also had a small youtube channel, nothing too big, it was more of a way to record your adventures in California and a way for your parents to make sure you were okay. That is until you bumped into a very popular social media duo while they were trying to sneak into a âhauntedâ location near where you lived. The warning you gave them, followed by a video by the duo a week later, caused them to contact you and to see if you wanted to join them for haunted location.
That was over a year ago, and now you regularly join them and TFIL for âhauntedâ overnights. A majority of which were legit, you could feel the presence of spirits before you stepped foot on the property, while others were just people being a-holes and scaring you guys off. Thats one of the reasons why you joined the duo and TFIL for those adventures, you were able to sense a spirit near by, and were able to warn them when they went too far. This has been something youâve been able to do since you were a kid, and wasnt an unfamiliar feeling either. That is, until Colby told you that he and Sam wanted you to join them for a haunted overnight in London, with Cory and Jake in tow as well.
With your luggage in tow and your new passport in hand, you and the guys were off to London for Sam and Colbyâs new series. What they didnt tell you was, there were two locations you would be visiting, possible a third, but two for sure. The first location did a number on you and the group, the experts told you the stories associated with the room Sam and Colby and with the floor the five of you were staying on. Everything that went on during the night, and after the group went to their rooms for the night, shook the group, you especially. You werenât one to have nightmares much less ones you could remember after waking up, but the dream you had stayed with you as you traveled to the second location.
âHey, you okay (Y/N)? You look like youâve been in a trance since we left the hotel.â Corey, who was sitting next to you in the backseat asked you as you looked down at your hands.
âJust thinking about what happened last night.â You murmured, your nightmare coming back to mind. âI didnât want to freak you guys out while we were checking out, but I had a really intense nightmare that included all of us.â
âNightmare? I thought you said you didnt have them?â Colby asked, looking at you through the rear view mirror, his eyes shifting from you to the road.
âThats the thing I dont. I havent had one since I was a kid. It was after you came knocking at my door asking if I had called you guys, or even asking if I had left a voice mail. I fell asleep for an hour and I woke up from what felt like a never ending nightmare, I wasnt going to let myself go back to sleep so I sketched out what was happening in my dream. The only thing I could draw was the church, and its surroundings.â You explained grabbing your bag taking out a notebook you carried around with you, flipping it to the page where you drew the church. âThe thing that stuck out the most was the graveyard that surrounded it, and the forest.â
~~~
âHey (Y/N), didnt you say you had a nightmare about a church?â Jake asked from your right, shaking you awake from your short slumber.
âY-Yeah, what about it?â You yawned, rubbing the sleep from your eyes, looking straight out the windshield. Both Sam and Colby were looking out to the left of the car, their camera recording on the dash straight at you.
âAnd that the church was surrounded by a graveyard?â Sam said this time, from his seat in the passenger side.Â
âYeah, what of...â You started before you looked out the window to your left. âNo, thereâs no fucking way.â
â(Y/N) did you know what church we were going to today?â Colby asked, turning to look at you face to face. âBecause thatâs exactly the church you drew.â
âNO! You guys wouldnât even tell us the name of the church! How was is supposed to know THIS was the church we were going to!?â You questioned the blue eyed brunette in the driver seat.
âI dont like this you guys.â Corey said from your left. â(Y/N) had a nightmare, a NIGHTMARE, about this place. And she apparently doesnât even have nightmares, and she has one about this place, A PLACE SHEâS NEVER EVEN SEEN BEFORE!â
âGuys, off camera (Y/N) told us she had a nightmare, note she hasnât had a nightmare since she was a kid, about us at a church surrounded by a graveyard last night after the phone call. She also said she drew out the church, a way to keep her awake until we had to check out this morning.â Sam explained to the viewers what was going on. âAnd this is what she drew, without knowing what church we were going to.â Sam grabbed the notebook from you and showed it to the camera.
âWhich is the exact church weâre staying in tonight.â
~~~
âOkay, this is getting freaky. (Y/N), has called everything thats happened so far, from the crows, to the teeth on the graves. I dont think staying here is a good idea guys.â Jake said as the sun started to set over the woods at the back end of the church, giving the group less light to see over the graveyard. âShe even called the fucking tombs in the church!â
âCome on Jake, shes also said by this time in her dream shit hit the fan, and weâre okay, we already have our blankets for the night, the camera is ready to record us for the rest of the night to make sure we capture everything we can. Weâll be okay.â Colby said trying to calm down the other skeptic in the group. You said nothing as Jake argued with Sam and Colby, all you wanted to do was get out of the place as fast as you could, and the only way to do that is go to sleep. Being unconscious was better than feeling on edge the entire time.
âWhat else did you dream (Y/N), was this in the dream too?â Corey asked taking a seat next to you, your back to the three other guys as you faced the front of the church.
âNo, thats why I want to leave. With the dream I was able to pin point what not to do but now that its nothing like it, iâm scared that something might happen.â You confessed, still looking towards the front of the church, the tombs covered by darkness. âIâm not able to stop something bad from happening if something does go wrong.â
âI understand the feeling. Especially after what my little brother texted me yesterday, I feel like I cant help him if I dont know what im going up against. And its scary.â Corey whispered as the yelling behind the two of you started to quiet down.
âWeâve both had things happen since our childhood. Youâve been seeing things since your family used the Ouija board, and Iâve had the feelings since before I could remember. Believe it or not my mom once told me she could feel spirits when she was my age, and so did my grandma. Theyâve both told me that they were able to feel spirits most of their lives, but they cant anymore.â
âWhat stopped them? Maybe you can do that and you wont be able to feel the spirits anymore!â
âI dont think itâs that simple.â You laughed. The dry laugh caught the attention of the three other guys in the church as well. âThey stopped being able to feel spirits the day I was born.â
âHey guys, I think this is a good time to head to bed.â Sam said this time, the harsh LED light illuminating dark half of the church. âThe faster we get to sleep, the faster weâll be out of here.â
~~~
Sam! Colby! Guys! Get back to the Church now! Jake, Corey, iâm going to go and get them, stay here.
Youâre too late
No! No iâm not! Sam! Colby!
You cant protect them
I WILL!
The air was finally able to reach your lungs as you shot up from your make shift bunk. The cold air surrounding you caused steam to radiate of your person, and your deep exhales to create puffs of smoke in front of you. You looked around to see if your sudden movements woke anyone else up, thats when your heart dropped. Before you went to bed, Sam took the bunk closest to the door and Colby took the one to your left while Corey and Jake took the ones to your right. Both Sam and Colbyâs bunks were empty.
âNo, no, no, no!â You mentally yelled pulling on your shoes as fast and as quietly as you could, not wanting to wake the two other boys. As you got up, you heard one of the bunks shift and a loud gasp come from behind you.
âDid, did you shake me awake!?â Jake asked, his eyes wide. â(Y/N), did you shake me awake?!â
âNo. Now quiet down.â You tried shooshing Jake. âYouâll wake Corey if youâre too loud.â
âToo late for that, whatâs going on? Whereâs Sam and Colby?â Corey asked, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. âJake are you okay man? You look like youâve seen a ghost.â
âI woke up because it felt someone was shaking me awake! Then when I got up (Y/N) was getting up from her bunk.â Jake explained getting up from his bunk and flipping it over. âWhere are Sam and Colby? Did they do this?â
âI dont know! When I woke up they were gone, thats when I got up and you woke up. Stay here, Iâm going to look for them.â You said grabbing one of the extra flashlights.Â
âNo! Weâre not going to let you go out there on your own.â Corey said slipping on his shoes. âWhoa, wait what happened to you? Youâve soaked through your shirt.â Thats when you realized your sweater was completely soaked with sweat from the nightmare you were having before you woke up.
âMy nightmare. No.â You whispered before you bolted towards the door of the church. âYou guys stay here, I think somethings gonna happen, something bad. I have a big bag of salt in my backpack, use it to make a circle around the bunk area, and DONT leave it. Not for me, not for anyone okay? Unless you see us in person, dont believe your ears, okay?â
You stood at the door, the gates open behind you, leading out into the grave yard, Corey and Jake confused. âThings are going to get bad.â
âBad? What do you mean bad? (Y/N), you canât leave us in the dark, especially after everything thats been happening!â Jake yelled walking towards you.
âFINE!â You screamed back. This was probably the first time they heard you raise your voice in anger. âFine! When I was younger, right when I was realizing that could feel spirits, a demon attacked one of my cousins while we were exploring one of the old hospitals in the area. My other cousins all ran away, too scared to think of a way to get the demon away from them. I stepped in and the next thing I knew it was three weeks later and I was in the hospital. I was in a coma after detaching the demon from my cousin who was in a coma as well. The thing is while I was in the coma I had a never ending nightmare.â
âWhat does that have to do with us!?â
âBecause! I was having nightmares of this place! Thats why when I woke up today I was repeating the nightmare from all those years ago! Before tonight I had no recollection of what happened to me and my cousin, its almost as if it never happened. And because of the nightmare from yesterday and the eerie feeling from today, I was able to remember it. I texted one of my older cousins while we were out buying blankets and they said that it was true, but that the family promised not to bring it up to either of us. In my nightmare, from YEARS before I moved out to California, I had a nightmare of you four. I was trying to protect you guys, Sam and Colby. Now itâs actually happening, so I have to go and protect Sam and Colby.â
âWait! Why do we have to stay here? If we go and look for them all together we might be able to find them faster!â Corey said this time, grabbing the camera from where Colby left it to record you all through the night.
âBecause the safest place you can be is in this church. The salt circle will keep you extra protected, you coming with me will just put you in danger. Please, stay here. Thereâs still a couple of hours until sunrise, if weâre not back by then call the police.â
~~~
âSAM! What the hell are you doing man!â Colby yelled, finally catching up with his blonde best friend. âYou cant just get up and walk out of the church and into the creepy ass woods by yourself.â
âSorry, I have the camera as a light so its not that bad, but I kept hearing things. I wasnt sure if it was from inside the church at first, then I heard it outside.â
âWhat were you hearing? You could have woken one of us up. You cant be going out here by yourself.â
âSAM! COLBY!â
âIs that (Y/N)? Whatâs she doing up?â Colby thought pointing the flashlight he had towards the direction of your voice. As Colby was about to call out to you, the atmosphere around them grew heavy. âWhoa, did you feel that Sam?â
âYeah-yeah, it felt like the air got heavy. I think its time for us to get back to the church Colby.â Sam said this time, the camera facing Colby, the look of fear obvious on their faces. âWait, whereâs (Y/N)? I swore I heard her voice!â
âSAM! COLBY! Jesus, there you guys are!â You yelled, running up to them from the woodwork. âWe need to get back to the church now!â
âWe were about to head back, but why are you soaked? What happened?â Before you could respond to Colbyâs frantic questions, an unearthly screech cut you off. The three of you fell to the ground, hands covering your ears, the camera in Samâs hand fell, the light on it flickering from the fall. âWhat the hell was that?!â
âWe need to get back to the church now!â The crack in your voice scared the duo. For as long as theyâve known you, youâve never been one to be scared by the spirits, but this was a different story. âPlease, we need to get back to the church!â
Grabbing the camera, you pointed it at the duo in front of you, the light still flickering, but it was the only way to keep you in your line of sight. âI canât lose sight of you guys, so please lets get back to Corey and Jake.â
âWhatâs going on (Y/N)? Why didnt you bring Corey and Jake with you?â Sam asked coming to a stop near the edge of the woods.
âYeah, and did you feel that shift earlier? What was that?â Colby asking this time.
âThereâs no time for questions, we need to get to safety, please!â You were pleading with them at this point. The sinking feeling in your stomach was getting worse. âPlease we need to leave!â
âNo! Not until you tell us whats going on!â Colby yelled at you. It didnât phase you, it was a high stress situation and yelling in normal. Taking in a deep breath you told the duo what you told Jake and Corey back at the church. You could tell as you were reciting the story that they knew this was serious.
âSo, we need to get the hell out of here and back to the church where its sa-â You started before the light on the camera Sam still had in his hand, went out.
Thereâs no place to run, you were smart to leave the other two in the church, but these two are mine.
âDonât you dare get near them! Iâm the one you want! Iâve beat you once before, I can beat you again!â You yelled at nothing. âWhatever you guys do, do not talk to him. You guys acknowledging him will only make it worse.â
âRight.â The pair whispered. As your eyes adjusted to the darkness, you grabbed onto Sam and Colby, âWe need to get back to the church, follow me.â
Not so fast (Y/N), you dont think itâll be that easy?
âSam!â A familiar voice yelled from the darkness. âSam please help me Iâm hurt!â
âKa-â Sam started before you let go of Colby to slam your hand on Samâs mouth.
âItâs a trick! Donât trust your ears, theyâll trick you.â You explained. âSame goes for you Colby, no matter who you hear, it doesnât matter who, if you cant see them, do not trust the voices you hear.â You grabbed Colbyâs jacket, pulling him and Sam back towards the church. âIâm sorry you guys.â
âWhy are you apologizing? Itâs not your fault this is happening, you didnât know that this thing was going to come back.âÂ
âYeah, if anything its our fault that we didnt listen to you, after you were predicting everything that happened.â
Theyâre right, they should have listened to you, just like your cousins should have listened to you when this happened all those years ago.
âWe were children! You had the balls to attack children! That just shows you how weak of a demon you are! It makes you even weaker when a child was able to exercise you from a the body of another child!â You yelled into the darkness. âYou thought you were powerful because of the place we were in! Your worshipers used the hospital as your portal! You were using my cousin as a scapegoat!â
You werent strong enough to get rid of me the first time. What makes you think youâll be strong enough now?Â
As the demon started to laugh, the ground shaking with every cackle, the moon showed itself from behind the clouds, the graveyard lit up with the light. In the middle of all the graves was a massive being, a mix of human and a crow.
âYou were always here werenât you? You were hiding among the crows.â You said letting go of the duo. You faced this demon once before and lived, you can face him again.Â
â(Y/N)! Donât!â Colby whispered as you walked towards the demon. âWe need to get to the church!â
âCome on, (Y/N)!â
âNo. Not anymore, if I dont get rid of him now, Iâll have to live with this asshole following me!â
Oh, Iâm not planning on letting you live, (Y/N). You arent going to live to see tomorrow.
âAnd im not letting you go, Raum.â With that the creature, screeched at you, stepping back away from you. âIâm no priest, or exorcist but Iâve researched how to get rid of demons!â
â(Y/N) what are you doing!?â Colby ran up to you, blocking your path to the demon. âWe need to get back to the church! Weâll be safe their.â
âSam, grab Colby and haul ass towards the Church, Jake and Corey will be waiting where the bunks are in a circle of salt, thatâs where youâll be the safest. If I donât make it back by sunrise, Iâve already told Corey and Jake to call the police. Hell maybe call a priest too.â You explained looking between the two again. âPlease, im begging you.â
âCome on Colby.â Sam whispered, grabbing onto Colbyâs arm pulling him towards the church. â(Y/N) can do this, weâll only hold her back if weâre here.â
~~~
âJake itâs been hours and they still arenât back, and what the hell was that sound!?â Corey asked the only other person in the circle. The yelling and screeching that came from outside the church were something out of a horror movie, it didnt seem real.
âI dont know, and all the cameras cut out when the first screech happened and they havent been able to record since then. Even the cell service has been shit.â Jake groaned sitting on one of the bunks in the middle of the salt circle they drew after (Y/N) ran out the church.
âWhat if it doesnt come back by sun up? How are we going to get help?â
âWeâll just go to someoneâs ho-â Jake started before the doors to church doors slammed open. âSam? Colby? Is that really you?â Before they could answer Jake grabbed the nearest bottle of holy water and sprayed the duo as they walked towards the bunks.
âReally Jake? Was that necessary?â Colby asked shaking off the cold holy water.
âSorry, had to make sure. Hey, whereâs (Y/N)? And what was that sound from earlier?â Jake asked realizing the person who forced them to stay in the church wasnât with the duo.
â(Y/N) stayed outside. Remember when she told us when she was younger how her cousin was attacked by a demon back in her hometown?â Colby asked looking between Corey and Jake as the screeching continued in the graveyard, scaring the group.
âWell apparently the thing out there is the same one from her childhood. She told us to come to the church and wait for either her or for the sun to come up. And for us not to trust our ears, that the thing out there might try to get us outside, he almost got me by sounding like Kat.â Sam explained as more screeching and roars sounded from the darkness outside. âAnd to add salt to the wound, I dropped the camera when the first roar happened so I wasnât able to get any footage of the demon outside.â
âRight when the first roar happened all the cameras in here went out too. Thereâs still battery in all of them but they wont record. And, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LEFT HER OUT THERE?â Corey yelled at the best friends. âYouâre letting her go against that thing ALONE!?â
âWe had to! If we stayed there the demon would have used us against (Y/N), and sheâs gone against it before and lived, shes got this in the ba-â Sam started before another roar cut him off, the lights in the church flickering as a scream joined the roar.
âCOLBY, I CANâT DO THIS ALONE!â
âIts not (Y/N)! Dont listen to it!â Sam grabbed Colby before he sprinted out the door. âYou know for a fact she wouldnât call out for us! In any of our investigations, has she ever called for us? No. Donât listen to him!â
âCOLBY HELP! PLEASE I CANT BEAT HIM!â
âCOLBY YOU BETTER NOT! DONT YOU DARE LISTEN TO HIM!â
âSee thatâs (Y/N)!â Sam said tugging Colby back into the salt circle, âWe have to trust in her.â
~~~
âItâs been two weeks since the church and we havenât told the fans what happened, what are we going to do?â Sam asked looking up at Colby, from his seat next to (Y/N). It had been two weeks since the church incident, and they were still in the UK. The night took a turn for the worst when the sun had finally come up and (Y/N) hadnât made it back to the church. It took almost two days to find her somewhere in the middle of the wood miles away from the church the group stayed at.Â
âI know they deserve answers, but our main concern is to make sure (Y/N) is alright. We already contacted her family and theyâre aware, which is the most important part. Maybe us staying and Corey and Jake leaving was a bad idea.â Colby muttered, pacing around the hospital room. (Y/N) hadnât woken up from the coma she was found in almost two weeks prior, and it was concerning the boys. (Y/N)âs parents told the boys that the last time she was in a coma like this it lasted almost a month, and that the boys shouldnât worry about (Y/N), shes stronger than she seems. âI wish (Y/N) would give us some sort of sign that shes okay.â
âWhy does it feel like its out fault? Like if we hadnât come to London none of this would have happened? Or what if we had stayed in the church? Maybe then we would have been back in LA planning our next adventure.â Sam whispered, rubbing his face with his palms.
âDamn it!â Colby finally yelled after a few minutes of silence. âWhy the fuck did this happen to (Y/N)? What if we had stayed there? Maybe it would have been one of us instead of her! Fuck!â
âQuiet down please. Weâre in a hospital for fuck sake.â The whisper caught the duo off guard. It was the small smile on the patienceâs face that brought them to tears as they hugged the person on the hospital bed. âOkay, I canât breath guys.â
âWh-what? When did you wake up? How are you feeling? Do-do you need anything?â Colby asked as Sam ran out the room going to find a doctor or nurse.
âWhen you guys started to blame yourselves for what happened. Raum was going to come after me one day, it just chose the church because of all the spiritual energy that we were carrying from the hotel the night before.â You, explained before a doctor, nurse, and Sam ran into the room. It was a week later that the trio was on their way back to the States, when you noticed something.
âHey Sam, Colby.â You started as you made your way across the London airport to your gate. You stopped and looked around, something was different.
âWhatâs up (Y/N)? Do you feel something?â Colby asked coming up to (Y/N)
âThatâs the thing, I dont feel anything.â You said looking around the airport, every place youâve ever visited had some sort of spirit lingering around. Good or evil you were able to feel them almost 80% of the time.
âWhat do you mean you donât feel anything?â Sam asked the camera in his hand pointing at you and Colby. The three of you had agreed to release what footage you had onto their Youtube channel since you felt like their fans needed some sort of explanation. They just needed to film the last bits of them leaving London before they would do a sit down segment back in LA explaining what had happened at the church.
âI dont feel any spiritual presence, like any. It wouldnât have bothered me but I had felt a presence when we first landed here. Now thereâs nothing.â You said looking back at Sam and Colby. âMaybe me winning cost me my ability to feel spirits.â That statement became even more true when you landed back in LA and did a quick visit to places you knew were haunted, you couldnât feel anything in any of the locations.
âHey, maybe its a good thing? I mean people who have some sort of power are usually targeted by demons or evil spirits.â Sam said as the three of you walked up to the first place the three of you met.
âIf it keeps you safe, maybe its a good thing that you lost your ability.â Colby said this time.
âBut now I feel like I wont be able to protect you guys.â You said looking back at the best friends, tears welling up in her eyes.
âBut, weâll be able to protect you. When you would tell us to back off during an overnight we started to notice how certain things would happen around the time you would speak up. Weâre able to tell if somethings going to happen because of all the times you brought it to our attention that something was wrong.â Colby said walking up to you, giving you a small smile. âAnything to protect you even if you dont have your sixth sense.â
