(So what you are about to read was mainly inspired to me by a very weird yet interesting dream. I know that virtually every single time I make one of these, something goes wrong, but I have good faith that I can continue this one to the best of my ability. So, without further ado, let's get started.)
Tick, Tock...Tick, Tock...
BZZZZZZT!!
#1: AUGH! *Falls out of bed*
#1: Jesus, I thought I got rid of this stupid alarm clock...Always frightens the living hell outta me!
#2: YOU should be complaining, Miles. I sleep right next to it!
#1/Miles: True, James. But still, whose idea was this anyway? Ah, never mind. I'll bet the sorry son of a gun has already left for breakfast.
#3: Come get your food guys, or the boys will hog it all!
#2/James: Speak of the devil, let's go give him a piece of our mind. Ugh.
My name is Miles, also known as #1. I have black hair, am 17, and REALLY hate that damned alarm clock. I live inside of an abandoned facility with my 30 comrades (18 male, 12 female) which we've simply dubbed "The Household of Hope."
I'd tell you my last name, but remember it I cannot. And trust me, it's the same for all of us.
#3: James, tell Miles to stop talking to himself so he can get his breakfast!
#2/James: Come on, mate. We ain't gonna live forever. *Drags Miles to table*
And that couldn't be any more true...
#4: *Digs into Turkey* Man, I'll never get tired of eating turkey for breakfast! This has been and will always be one HELL of a facility!
#3: If you think cooking that stuff is cheap, then think again, Adam. After all, I'm the one who pays for all this!
#2/James: And I'm the one who has to sit next to arguably the messiest eater of all damn 30 of us. Cheers...?
#5: Oh please, James. Don't even get me STARTED on the people I have to sit with.
#2/James: Fair enough, Audrey. But let's not introduce too many characters at once!
#1/Miles: *Picks at food*
#3: Eh? Is something wrong with my cooking, Miles?
#1/Miles: Oh, nothing. To be honest, I'm just very bored, Katie. Nothing has been going on lately, it's like my life is just as boring as the weather reports now.
#4/Adam: Are you subliminally trying to hit on Audrey? Haha, this year's gonna be great! *Digs into more Turkey*
#6: *Sighs* I will never understand why the first idea for breakfast that Adam had was turkey. But hey, what can ya do?
#4/Adam: Hey, do you have any idea how hard I had to convince Katie to make this for us today? You should be grateful, not pessimistic!
#6: I wasn't complaining, I just thought it was strange, not necessarily in a bad way.
#4/Adam: Oh please, May. I mean, does it really matter what time of day you eat something? Personally, I've always found that mindset lame. *Digs into yet more Turkey*
#2/James: *Wipes off eaten turkey fragments from Adam* I hope my insurance covers this sort of thing...Eww!
#5/Audrey: Ditto on that, James. They really don't pay me enough for this.
#3/Katie: We don't pay you at all, hun! I do most of the work around here!
*Table Laughs, Doorbell Rings*
#3/Katie: Ooh, I wonder who that could be!
#6/May: If it's another one of those missionaries trying to force their opinion down our throats, then I'm 100% outta here.
#1/Miles: I'll answer the door, since I already know that nobody else will.
#4/Adam: Hah, look at this emo kid, complaining about his life!
#5/Audrey: You know, he's absolutely right, when you get down to it.
#2/James: Shots fired Audrey, haha!
#5/Audrey: That includes you too, James.
#2/James: Oh, right... *Hides head under table in shame*
#1/Miles: *Opens Door* Hello-
???: GREETINGS FROM FLORIDA, MATES! :D HOW YOU DOIN', HOW YOU DOIN'? *Shakes everyone's hand in rapid succession*
#3/Katie: Oh no, I'm already feeling uncomfortable...
#6/May: It's even worse than I thought....A BUSINESS SALESMAN! QUICK, EVERYONE, FLEE FOR THE HILLS!
???: HOLD ON THERE, QUICKSTERS! TODAY'S PRODUCT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU BY-
#7: *Muffles ???'s face, slowly pushes him out door* You can tell us about your sponsor when we actually care. Spoiler alert: That's never.
#8: ♫Plays X Gon' Give It To Ya♫ YEAH, THAT'S MY BRO!
#3/Katie: Now let's all thank Michael and Gerald for saving the day for us all!
*Table Claps Passionately*
#5/Audrey: Thank merciful Neptune, I was about to give that guy a piece of my mind...and my kitchen knife.
#2/James: *Hides under table again* Just when I thought I was safe....This family is BONKERS!
#1/Miles: Hey Gerald, can you shut off the music now? After all, you don't want to get COPYRIGHTED, now do you? >:)
#8/Gerald: *Shuts off radio* SIR, YES SIR!
#1/Miles: Also, James, you can stop hiding now.
#2/James: But...but.......Audrey's got a PLASTIC KNIFE!
#9: ZOINKS! *Divebombs into the living room*
#3/Katie: That one of the problems with living in a house this filled....Paranoia spreads like the plague!
#1/Miles: You couldn't be more correct, Katie. HEY WILLIAM, THE COAST IS CLEAR!
#9/William: ...You sure?
#4/Adam: Fantastic job Audrey, now you've gotten everyone all scared over plastic knives.
#2/James: FEAR THE PLASTIC! *Nervously shakes under table*
#7/Michael: So uh, anyone else afraid of plastic knives in here? I mean, I knew this family was pathetic, but JEEZ...
#6/May: We're no less pathetic than the fact that you still haven't done your chores, Michael.
#7/Michael: Hey, just lemme finish eating, I'll get right to it!
#5/Audrey: Aaaand cut to three hours later where he's goofing off in his room.
#3/Katie: So, is everyone done eating? And James, get up off of the floor, there's nothing to be afraid of!
#2/James and #9/William: *Desperately hurry up the stairs*
#3/Katie: Maybe just using your hands would've been a better idea...
#8/Gerald: Personally, I think that all they had to ♫do is put their mind to it!♫
#3/Katie: ...Gerald, do you wanna get COPYRIGHTED? >:)
#8/Gerald: *Desperately hurries along stairs with James and William* HEY, WAIT FOR ME!
*Meanwhile, in Miles's room...*
#1/Miles: *Plants face under pillow* Today's gonna be a long day, isn't it?
#2/James: Hey, look at the plus side, all of the knives are gone and we can some time to chat before it's time to do our chores!
#1/Miles: I mean, I suppose so, but still James...I've been feeling kinda down lately.
#2/James: What do you mean by that? You live with a great bunch of people with all the food and caring in the world, how could anyone be down like this?
#1/Miles: It's just the same thing every single day. I get jump-scared by the alarm clock, get outta bed, eat with the others, answer the door to some numb-nut who wants to shove their product and/or opinion down our throat, wait for chore time, and it just cycles over and over....I want something new to happen. Something fun, interesting, and worth my time.
#2/James: Maybe Adam was right, you could be just subliminally hitting on Audrey, heh.
#1/Miles: HEY, I AM NOT!
#2/James: Heh, I'm just playing around. But in all seriousness, I understand what you mean. But have you ever thought that it really wasn't bad at all either?
#1/Miles: I mean, I guess so-
*CRASH*
#1/Miles and #2/James: AUGH!
*Whoo-ee-oooo!! Whoo-ee-oooo.....POW!*
Everyone: AAHHH!
#1/Miles: James, let's go! What in the bloody hell just happened!?
#2/James: I'm right behind you!
*Miles opens door, smoke erupts everywhere*
#1/Miles: *Coughs* What....is going on!?
#2/James: I can't see a thing, my eyes hurt... *Coughs*
#3/Katie: Everyone, please evacuate outside RIGHT NOW!
*Whoo-ee-oooo! Whoo-ee-oooo!
Outside, a little bit later...
#7/Michael: That's my rotten luck, alright. I was JUST about to do my chores. Wonderful.
#8/Gerald: I'm not even gonna make a song reference, what in the world was that!?
#5/Audrey: The entire house is smoking like a factory from London, what do we do!?
*Panic Spreads Rapidly*
#3/Katie: Calm down everyone, I'm going inside right now! Luckily, I was prepared for a situation like this. *Puts on Gas Mask*
#6/May: Well great, now what're we gonna do?
#4/Adam: Alright....Whatever idiot started a fire, you've got nothing to lose now. Who did it!?
#2/James: You ever think that it wasn't a fire, Adam?
#1/Miles: But that's the thing, James. I don't know anything that could kick-start that much smoke, not EVEN a massive fire. Plus, there's no flames in sight.
#9/William: I hope Katie's alright...Let alone the facility.
#3/Katie: *Shouting from inside the house* Guys, it's coming from Nadie's and Harold's room! Don't move one bit, I'm going to investigate!
#5/Audrey: Katie's a warrior, jeez. I actually feel bad just standing here.
#7/Michael: Never mind that, why is so much smoke coming from THEIR room of all people? I mean, Nadia and Harold are the most tame people in the facility, I don't understand.
#2/James: Well, any of us want to confess anything that might've started this?
*Dead Silence*
#6/May: I don't think anyone here would've been evil enough to sabotage our entire home, James.
#1/Miles: So many questions, it hurts my mind just thinking about it. I hope Katie's doing alright.
*Smoke Completely Disappears*
#4/Adam: Alright. If this is a prank by ANY of you, then it's not funny anymore. It never was, alright!?
#10: Contradictory to my admittingly very silly demeanor, I wouldn't do anything like this. Plus, I was sleeping all morning since I stayed up late watching TV and eating anyways.
#5/Audrey: It's nice to see that everyone's taking this seriously. Maybe you people aren't as bad as I thought.
#2/James: YOU JINXED IT! *Runs around in circles*
#1/Miles: James, I think you just jinxed it on yourself, heh.
#3/Katie: *Jogs out of house* Guys, guys! Nadia and Harold are gone! If I find out this is a prank by any of you, then you're gong to be grounded for a VERY long time!
#11: I know a majority of us have some SERIOUSLY messed up senses of humor, but come on, I know us well enough by now. Adam, Michael, George, none of us would ever go this far.
#10/George: Thanks, Chris. I owe ya one.
#3/Katie: Well, I think it's safe to assume that nobody could've started the smoke now, so that begs the question...Where did it come from?
#1/Miles: We can answer that later, we need to find Nadia and Harold!
#2/James: I'm right behind ya pal!
#3/Katie: Let's hurry guys!
#4/Adam: Don't forget about me!
#5/Audrey: And me!
#6/May: I normally hate joining in on lines like this, but what else needs to be said? I'll check the basement!
#7/Michael: I'll tag along as well, leave the attic to me.
#8/Gerald: I got dibs on upstairs!
#9/William: I'll check the bravest place of them all, the living room! With the lights on!
#10/George: I should've known, William. Even in times of crisis, you are WEAK, heh.
*Everyone glares at George*
#10/George: Uhhh, I got the hallways.
#11/Chris: I got the rooms!
#12: I got-HEY! You guys took everything, no fair!
#11/Chris: Umm, you can do the kitchen, Candace. Now, let's move soldiers!
*A little while later...*
#1/Miles: Hey Chris, James, let's get to Nadia and Harold's room. If there's anywhere in this place where something would've gone wrong, it's obviously the room where the smoke started.
#2/James: I'm NOT opening that door, Miles...Hey Chris, help us out here!
#11/Chris: Sure thing, I hope you're all ready. *Opens Door*
Ooooo-waaaahhhh....
*Awkward Silence*
#2/James: Uhh, do my eyes deceive me, or is that some sort of portal?
#1/Miles: What in the world....I've never seen anything like it, not even in those CGI movies.
#11/Chris: Well, I can already say for sure that we should definitely NOT touch that thing under any circumstance. Any ideas, guys?
#2/James: Not really. And I can't see Nadia or Harold anywhere.
#1/Miles: NADIA, HAROLD, IF THIS IS A JOKE, THEN YOU'RE ALL TOAST.
*Silence*
#1/Miles: ....Guys?
*Silence*
#11/Chris: Never mind them for now, we need to tell everyone about this. Let's get to the living room!
*A Tad Later....*
#3/Katie: I'm sorry everyone! Me, Audrey, and Gerald tried so hard to find Harold and Nadie, no luck.
#9/William: Nothing to report, Katie. I looked under every table, couch, nothing.
#6/May: Nothing in the basement, sadly.
#7/Michael: Nothing in the attic either.
#4/Adam and #10/George: *Shrugs* Not a single sight of them.
#3/Katie: Well, how about you guys? Miles, James, Chris, surely you found some clues in their room!
#1/Miles: We did, and you wouldn't believe us if we told you.
#2/James: It....needs to be SEEN to be believed.
#11/Chris: Some sort of portal, as strange as that sounds. Come on, we'll show you now.
*The group goes into the room*
Oooo-wah....
#11/Chris: Be careful guys. I don't know what that thing leads to, but I don't think we should find out.
#5/Audrey: So then what? We just leave Harold and Nadia gone forever, and let this anomaly stay in our house without even considering a viable second option?
#9/William: I'm far from the best at plans, but how about this? If we don't hear from them within 30 hours, then a team of us will go inside the....thing and investigate.
#1/Miles: Sounds good to me, who wants to volunteer?
*Everyone looks at floor*
#2/James: I'll go if you do too, Miles. And William, you suggested the idea, so you should join us.
#9/William: WHAT!? Me!? But there's, there's, it's a, you have to-doh, d'wah!
#4/Adam: Uhh, what did he say?
#6/May: "There's, there's, it's a, you have to-doh, d'wah!"
#3/Katie: Sounds fine by me! I'll tag along as well to assure that nothing bad happens. So guys, take good care of each other when we leave tomorrow, because this could take a while. To let you guys know that we're doing fine, we'll use some expensive Walkie-Talkies I've been saving over the years. One for Chris, and one for us. Sound good?
#8/Gerald: This is happening way too fast....I guess we'll be fine. We'll take care of the house, George and I will do the shopping, and we'll all keep an eye out for Nadia and Harold. It's not like them to run away or anything, so there's not much of a choice. Stay strong when you go in there!
#1/Miles: Hopefully they return by tomorrow....because I'm not sure that this is what I wanted when I asked for change.
???: Trial One, Commence. Nice to see they're falling right into my trap...
Tick, Tock...Tick, Tock...
BZZZZZZT!!
#1: AUGH! *Falls out of bed*

*Table Claps Passionately*

*The group goes into the room*
Oooo-wah....
#11/Chris: Be careful guys. I don't know what that thing leads to, but I don't think we should find out.
#5/Audrey: So then what? We just leave Harold and Nadia gone forever, and let this anomaly stay in our house without even considering a viable second option?
#9/William: I'm far from the best at plans, but how about this? If we don't hear from them within 30 hours, then a team of us will go inside the....thing and investigate.
#1/Miles: Sounds good to me, who wants to volunteer?
*Everyone looks at floor*
#2/James: I'll go if you do too, Miles. And William, you suggested the idea, so you should join us.
#9/William: WHAT!? Me!? But there's, there's, it's a, you have to-doh, d'wah!
#4/Adam: Uhh, what did he say?
#6/May: "There's, there's, it's a, you have to-doh, d'wah!"
#3/Katie: Sounds fine by me! I'll tag along as well to assure that nothing bad happens. So guys, take good care of each other when we leave tomorrow, because this could take a while. To let you guys know that we're doing fine, we'll use some expensive Walkie-Talkies I've been saving over the years. One for Chris, and one for us. Sound good?
#8/Gerald: This is happening way too fast....I guess we'll be fine. We'll take care of the house, George and I will do the shopping, and we'll all keep an eye out for Nadia and Harold. It's not like them to run away or anything, so there's not much of a choice. Stay strong when you go in there!
#1/Miles: Hopefully they return by tomorrow....because I'm not sure that this is what I wanted when I asked for change.
???: Trial One, Commence. Nice to see they're falling right into my trap...
Sam was waiting in line in a local snack bar. While he was waiting he watched the news, airing on a flat screen television, hanging on the ceiling.
“The thirty-five year old Zoey Allen has escaped the local hospital of Castle Rock, Colorado. Allen was brought into the hospital after she got stuck in a fire. Allen is extremely dangerous and wanted for several murders. She might be armed”
The news reader gave a number people could call if they had any kind of information.
Sam walked out of the snack bar and conjured his phone. He quickly dialed Dean’s number.
“Hello?”
“Dean, Zoey escaped” Sam said fast.
“What? I thought she was dead” Dean said disbelieving.
“Apparently not” Sam said. “Lock your door. Don’t let anyone in”
“I wasn’t going to” Dean said and Sam heard him lock the door.

“Daphne? It’s time to let me go” Martin said soft.
Daphne lifted her head and stared at him with wet and bloodshot eyes. “How? I can’t”
“It’s time for me to move on” Martin said. “I’ve been wandering around for too long. I’m done here. If I stay much longer, I could turn into a vengeful spirit”
Daphne shook her head. “I don’t believe that”
“You didn’t believe I would show up in the first place, either” Martin pointed out.
Daphne pulled her shoulders. “How do I let you go? Aren’t you supposed to walk into the light or something?”
Martin laughed. “Not exactly. You have to salt and burn my bones”
“So I need to go to the cemetery?” Daphne asked.
“No. That grave is empty” Martin said bitter.
“Then where are your bones?” Daphne asked nervous.
“You’re standing on them” Martin answered.

The waitress walked through the back door. She was taking a break. She felt two eyes on her and looked aside.
Cas was staring at her.
“Hi” she said. She walked to him. “You were acting strange earlier”
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled. “You remind me of someone”
“Your girlfriend?” the waitress guessed.
Cas shook his head. “She wasn’t my girlfriend. She was my…”
“Sex buddy” the waitress helped. “I’m Lucy”
“I’m Cas” Cas said.
“Cas?” Lucy said intrigued. “That’s an uncommon name” She came closer to him and took his collar. She dragged him into one of the toilets and locked the door. She threw her arms around his neck and jumped in his arms. She kissed him and Cas forced her against the wall.
“Aaaahhh!” she exclaimed. She pushed Cas away and looked at him terrified.
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled concerned.
“It’s okay” Lucy said, but Cas unlocked the door and ran away.

The next morning
Cas opened the door of the house and helped Daphne inside. He guided her to the sitting room and put her gently down on the couch.
“You know, I’ve been thinking” Daphne said. “With you around I don’t need a car. Makes things a lot cheaper”
“Can I get you something?” Cas asked.
Daphne shook her head. “You’re here. That’s enough for now”
Cas wasn’t used to that much gratitude and he’d have to adjust to it.
“Actually” Daphne started. “Could you give me the phone? I need to call the locksmith to tell him I won’t be needing his services after all. I gave Zoey her key back”
Cas smiled weak. “I’m glad you made it up with each other”
