				Old Merry Farm had a reputation,&nbsp; and it wasn't a good one.&nbsp; &nbsp;It was located about 30 miles outside the small town of Kinsington, Alabama.&nbsp; Kinsington itself was out in the middle of exactly nowhere.&nbsp; &nbsp;The town was known for being insular and resistant to change.&nbsp; &nbsp;This was a trait that had caused alot of friction in the 1960's,&nbsp; during the civil rights era.<br><br>That point in time produced many great heroes, but it produced just as many martyrs,&nbsp; and Kingston's singular claim to infamy was the murder of three civil rights activists.&nbsp; &nbsp;Their bodies were discovered buried out in Old Merry Farm,&nbsp; underneath the construction of a dam on the property.&nbsp; &nbsp;Investigators found that the murders involved a conspiracy of at least 20 Klansman and sympathizers.<br><br>Out of respect for the families,&nbsp; specifics were never released about condition of the bodies,&nbsp; but rumors were rampant.&nbsp; &nbsp; Soon after,&nbsp; strange lights were seen on the property,&nbsp; and 6 months after the fact,&nbsp; the owner of the property committed suicide.&nbsp; &nbsp;The next of kin took over,&nbsp; but still stories of madness and hauntings circulated.&nbsp; Whenever anyone went missing,&nbsp; the folks whispered about how they met their end at the farm.<br><br>Despite the persistent rumors,&nbsp; no new bodies were found at the farm,&nbsp; and by far and large life went on.&nbsp; &nbsp;By the present day,&nbsp; old Merry Farm had become something of the local boogyman, a story told to keep errant children in line.<br><br>On this particular night,&nbsp; October 30th, the year of our Lord two thousand and nine,&nbsp; four brave souls set out to prove that boogey men were not real,&nbsp; and set out in their rugged Hyundai Sante Fe towards Old Merry Farm.&nbsp; As they rolled up to the gate of the farm, they had no idea that they would soon find out that there are lessons to be had from fairy tales.<br><br><br>

				Sakura smiled as she got off the car that just arrived to the farm. The farm looked very big and very old. She did not believed in those stuff about the murders and the hunting but she wanted to prove everyone that they were wrong, that the person that disappeared must had another explanation other than murdered by a evil ghost. She looked around and laughed, "Wow I am so scared right now? I mean really a ghost killing people?". She giggled as she watched the others walk out of the van. <br><br>Taking a deep breath she smiled and took a sip from the bottle of water she had on her hands. Spending a night in this place won't be be so bad, she somehow gotten used to sleep in strange places.&nbsp; There was a lot of places on this farm she could visit but so far she just wanted to prove the so called hunting to be nothing but a false.<br><br>She sighed and smirked waiting on the others to see the far and then turned to look at them, "So guys and gurls, tell me what we will do now that we arrived at the ohhh so scary farm". She smirked and looked back at the farm "HEY YOU KILLER, COME OUT AND FACE ME", she giggled and sighed looking at the sky and taking another deep breath.&nbsp;

				Having slept most of the way, Laura yawned when the doors opened, stretching and letting her back make little cricks and groans.&nbsp; She got out and rubbed her eyes, her hair a little messed up, but nothing a few quick swats at with her hands wouldn't fix.&nbsp; She was pretty laid back about her hair.&nbsp; She heard Sakura yelling towards the house nearby, and said, "Jeez, Sakura, announce to the entire county that we're here.&nbsp; That's a fine way to get shot real quick."<br><br>Going to the back of the van, she opened the door and grabbed her backpack, which had a change of clothes and some books.&nbsp; She also had a first aid kit, figuring someone was going to do something stupid and get hurt, and a little journal that she planned to write in.&nbsp; Walking back around to where Sakura was, she said, "People around here don't like strangers.&nbsp; Screaming at the top of your lungs is only going to piss them off if they hear you."<br><br>A breeze came up, blowing through the material of her dress and making it flutter.&nbsp; Her dress was a one piece affair, hugging her body in some places, flowing loosely in others, and some said it made her look like a witch, others a gothed out hippie.&nbsp; Regardless, she wore it, with white socks and slippers.<br><br>Looking out over the property, she said, "I'd say we go up the road towards the house.&nbsp; If someone lives there, we apologize and claim we're just lost.&nbsp; If it's empty, we check to make sure no one lives there before we just hang around.&nbsp; If we go up expecting to just spend the night, we could get in some serious trouble."&nbsp; Growing up in poor areas had taught Laura the importance of respecting people on property like this.

				Tiffany stretched as she got up out of the car pulling her arms up above her head and standing on her toes for a moment before standing back down. She still stayed on the balls of her feet, alertness and stances drilled into her from growing up tacking martial arts. She reached a hand back in the car and pulled out a black backpack, and slung it over one of her shoulders. Inside the backpack was a notebook, a sketch book and a various array of pencils erasers and pastels. She was wearing a very short black dress, white gloves that stretched up past her elbow, and black combat boots. It was a strange combination, but Tiffany was not one to care what others think.<br><br>She had come to the farm with a very different interest in mind then most of her friends. She was hoping to find inspiration here, maybe she could uncover some of its secrets h ere and write a good story about it. Even if the place turned&nbsp; out to be nothing but an old farm she could still use it as the perfect backdrop and add her own monsters in there latter. Though by what she had heard and read though investigating on the internet that this place would have some very interesting stories for her to find. <br><br>She looked at Laura and sighed. " No body lives here...It's empty. One look can tell you that much, besides if there was someone here ...I haven't came all this way for nothing.&nbsp; I'm still going to explore. We will just have to be sneaky about it."

				She sighed and shook her head, "This is more empty than the house of my grandmother". She giggled and sighed looking around, "let's just go inside and see what we can do, we need to get settled first in someplace then we can think of go exploring, is getting cold in here and now is not a good time to simply stay here and get cold enough to die, don't you people think?". Taking another sip off her water she grins looking around, "There is no crops growing, the houses are all beaten up is obvious nobody lives in here".<br><br>The air was a bit chilly, but it could be tolerable. She sighed and looked up to the sky, "Well I am not walking in first, I just yelled at whatever is "killing" people in here so I don't want to be the first victim". She sighed and sat on the hood of the car taking out her I pod and starting to hear music from it. The tunes of Evanescence could be heard from her ear as she sang softly with the song looking around to her friends.<br><br>(Bah writers block)

				The house that was being discussed was a good half mile down the road, but it was readily visible because of it's perch on the hill.&nbsp; &nbsp;It was an old looking thing, but it was difficult to tell from this distance because it was just a silhouette against the moon. <br><br>To the west of them, the horizon was not visible.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It was blocked by a dark wall of foliage.&nbsp; &nbsp; Tiffany's initial observation could be forgiven, given that they had just driven through forest, but further inspection by anyone would reveal that the plants blocking their view were actually neatly plowed rows of corn.&nbsp; To their east was Lake Freedom, as it had become known after the Civil Rights murders. <br><br>There was one more sign that the farm was indeed inhabited.&nbsp; &nbsp; As the girls talked,&nbsp; a light came on inside the house up the hill in the western most window.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;They were definitely not alone...

				Adjusting her backpack, Laura decided to just accept that they'd come all this way to solve a mystery, and that she might as well get used to it.&nbsp; She stretched and let a few knotted muscles get settled after being disused the entire trip, and heard Sakura say something about dying first.&nbsp; Since they were now on that lovely topic, she asked, "If you had to die, how would you want it to happen?"<br><br>She asked the questions like that.&nbsp; To her, a question like that told quite a bit about the person, more than just the answer itself did.&nbsp; It could tell her what that person's outlook on death was like, if they'd even contemplated the idea of their own mortality, or if they'd just seen too many movies and thought somehow it would be glorious and awesome and everyone would rock about it for ages.<br><br>Out of the corner of her eye she saw a light, and when she looked she saw that one had come on from the house.&nbsp; With a sigh, she said, "Looks like the place is inhabited after all.&nbsp; Still want to go guys?"

				" Hell yeah," Tiffany said looking at the light with a sigh. Maybe thinking that the place would be empty had been wishful thinking on her part. Still she wasn't leaving till she got her story. " I wonder if they wouldn't mind answering a few questions..."<br><br>She looked back at Lura and thought about the question she had asked before. She thought about what she had seen in her pathologist training mixed with what she had seen in her horror movies. " It takes minuets to drowned your body goes into full panic state your heart goes into arrest causing you to have a heart attack long before you asphyxiate. Your body burns for oxygen, the same for hanging.Depending on where you get cut it might be ok but even if you hit a major artery that too would take some time to bleed out causing your body to go into shock, no I want something fast and painless like a brain anursim&nbsp; your just going about your daily life when "pop" the vessel goes and you die without ever knowing your fate."

				(pardon my post they're from my phone as well Ty)<br><br>Nicholai turned the hyundai Santa fe off ad he to stretched and slightly yawned a bit himself.&nbsp; The drive went somewhat quite as the girls slept for the most part of the trip.&nbsp; He exited the car looking about the area as images of his childhood flashed about in his skull.&nbsp; It had been a good couple of years since he's been around here since joining the service.&nbsp; As he closed the door he walked around the front off the car pulling the earplugs from sakuras ears "aight listen up everyone" he said that aloud then patted sakuras leg softly "off the car luv its brand new"<br>

				Sakura sighed as she looked at the rest of the people. The place was cold and unforgiving, she could feel a chill go down her spine as she looked up. All of the sudden she screamed and fell down to the ground, she looked scared as if she just seen a ghost. She got down the hood of the car and sighed her eyes looking scared as she heard the wolf, "I think.... we should get the hell out of here". She looked back to the wolves and shrugged, was it really a vision or did she day dream?. <br><br>"Something happened, I saw something I have no idea if I was dreaming but I get a really bad feeling about this, lets just get out of here go to the house or something". She looked really scared as she started to walk to the house, she did not cared if the others followed.

				Nikki began to spoke but as Sakura jumped. screamed, then took off towards the house he was forced to take chase after her "hey stop....we dont know what is up there.....i doubt its anything...but i do care about your safety..."&nbsp; he took her wrist softly to stop her from going any further as he spoke to everyone "...there could be a squater in there and they can be dangerous thinking you might try to report them to the police or they might be drunk so just keep your guard up and lets all move together .....ok?"&nbsp; he sighed softly and his eyes searched the area for anything else of notice.&nbsp; It was geting cold out here and he needed to atleast get the girls to a safe warm place before they could plan on splitting up if at all an option.

				Tiffany shook her head watching her friend freak out and the male go to the rescue. She had heard something too, a wolf perhaps. Probably to wild to go out of its way to&nbsp; bother a bunch of college kids. Yet that sound had to have been the backdrop to a least a thousand horror movies next thing you know it would start lightning and raining.&nbsp; She laughed at the thought. She started to walk towards the house it would&nbsp; be a pretty good walk from where they were. " calm down Nikki us girls can take care of ourselves."&nbsp; She said with a playful smile.

				The answer to her question posed a moment ago had been answered a bit unexpectedly, but since no one else seemed game to say, she just followed after Sakura, kept from running off by Nikki's hand gripping her wrist.&nbsp; Why did Sakura always seem so eager to get in trouble?&nbsp; Atleast Tiffany was taking it slow, though she seemed just as excited, if not more.&nbsp; <br><br>As the wolf began to howl, Laura could only sigh, "This is going to end badly."

				She shook her head at Nikki, "don't you get it? If we stay here that wolf is going to kill us, I mean wolves. I...I don't know how to explain it, I saw myself running through some corn with a wolf chasing me, I...I don't know what the hell happened I just was sitting on the car, then being chased then back in the car". She sighed and looked up taking a deep breath to calm herself, "but I guess your right, I am not alone afterall, she smiled and sighed, "sorry I freaked out, just was kinda weird". Walking back to where the rest were she bowed, "I am sorry for freaking out guys, I guess I just fell asleep, didn't I?"

				Nikki just sighed softly and grouped up with the rest of htem "i know you all can take care of yourself, but what kind of gentleman would i be if one of you got hurt under my watch?"&nbsp; he looked back up at the house curious about the lights still "...i say two stay here...and myself and one other head up to see what the lights are....ok?" he looked at the three girls "...in that case if something...i mean someone is up there we can scare them off....and if it gets violent the two down here in the end can leave for help....."

				Tiffany laughed playfully. " whoever said you where a gentleman Nikki" She said giving him a wink. She looked back over to the lights of the house. " I'm going to go up there" She said with a determind sound to her voice. She was not afraid of whatever was up there. She hoped that they could could answer some of her questions a hard hitting interview from the people who stayed there.

				"I'm going up there," Tiffany said, with a bit of determination in her voice.<br><br>Laura shook her head, "Bullshit.&nbsp; You're not going anywhere.&nbsp; You haven't lived in places like this, and I can assure you, you'll probably piss them off in five minutes and have buckshot in you in ten.&nbsp; IF you're lucky, you'll only get birdshot.&nbsp; If you get them really pissed off, you're getting buck shot."<br><br>Folding her hands over her chest, she was determined to go.&nbsp; Let Tiffany stay here with Sakura, because she'd need Nikki to give the impression that it wasn't nothing but girls.

				Tiffany glared and turned toward Laura. " you don't tell me where to go little girl." She said in an agitated tone. She shifted her body just a little looking like a tiger that was ready to strike. " I can take care of myself, do I need to show you that? If&nbsp; they tried to shoot me I could disarm them long before they could pull the trigger. "&nbsp; her eyes bore into Laura she didn't like it when people acting like she wasn't capable of something. She was quite capable.

				"and you know with all the yapping outta you gals they probably have the guns aimed at us at the momement...im putting my foot down im going up with one other get it, got it, good...now which one goes and which 2 stay?" he said all that with some sterness to his voice but at the same moment he seemed calm and relaxing.&nbsp; to some his stoic outlook on life made them angry but to him and those who knew him it brought a sence of peace with it. "...please just cooperate so we can get in then out"

				As Nikki spoke,&nbsp; a thrashing sound could be heard as dark silloettes rushed across the road ahead of them and into the corn stalks.&nbsp; &nbsp;Rustling could be heard in the corn,&nbsp; and it sounded like multiple medium sized animals running through the corn field.&nbsp; &nbsp;Then,&nbsp; &nbsp;Just as quickly,&nbsp; &nbsp;the sound stopped and all was quiet again.

				Laura saw the dark shapes moving quickly across the road, and said, "Hmm... must be a couple of deer or something come out to eat the corn.&nbsp; But be careful anyway guys."&nbsp; She moved to the car and sat down, figuring she'd let the bitchy one go.&nbsp; Let her get shot and then she'd feel a bit better.&nbsp; Maybe.

				Tiffany turned and looked toward the direction of the corn. Her thoughts were like the girls it was just deer. Yet something felt almost unnerving to her, but she tried to shake it off. Perhaps she had just watched way to many movies. She started to walk up to the house not caring if anyone was coming with her&nbsp; or not. This was taking way to long. They need to go up there deal with whatever awaited them, and get to other things.&nbsp;
